OatmealDome, who has a solid understand of behind-the-scenes activity in Splatoon 2 including unreleased modes and content, has revealed that an anti-cheat system is now in place. Actually, it’s been active since version 3.1.0.

OutmealDome as well as Khangaroo from Splatoon Modding Hub were the first to make note of Nintendo’s anti-cheat system.
Thanks to Alice N for the tip.

[Let’s Talk] Will you be buying Diablo III on Switch?
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch, Videos | 0 comments
Blizzard finally put rumors of Diablo III on Switch to bed this week with an official announcement. Eternal Collection will launch on the system this year, featuring content from Zelda and more.
Though Diablo III has been around for awhile and on different platforms, this marks the first time that it’ll be on a Nintendo console. In fact, there hasn’t been a Blizzard title on a Nintendo system in quite some time. Diablo III on Switch is noteworthy though due to its portability, and Blizzard is looking to sweeten the deal with some Zelda content.
How are you feeling about Diablo III on Switch? Do you plan on purchasing it later this year? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.
