The latest Japanese Splatfest in Splatoon 2 is over. After a day of battles, Nintendo has posted the results.
The new Splatfest had flowers going up against dangos (a Japanese dumpling). You can read about the significance of this in Japan here.
We’ve seen many close Splatfests in the past, and that was once again the case here. Despite losing in popularity, Team Flower squeaked by with a 2-1 win thanks to wins in solo and team battles.

Nintendo confirms that the Switch play time display issue will be fixed with an update, data not lost
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A lot has been made over a new issue that has surfaced with Switch as the system rings in its first anniversary. For games that have been played over a year, the play time count in your profile is no longer displaying properly. Instead of showing how long you’ve played, the profile instead starts out by stating that you’ve started playing it “x days ago” – which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
Nintendo of America commented on the issue yesterday, indicating that the situation is being investigated and more news is coming soon. Nintendo’s Japanese support site now has further news about what has occurred.

Happy first anniversary, Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Can you believe it’s already been a full year since Switch launched? It’s been a whirlwind for Nintendo, as the system has been more successful than anyone could have predicted.
Switch was released less than two months after its full unveiling following last year’s January presentation. Since then we’ve seen great game after great game, including Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Splatoon 2, and others – and that’s just on the first-party front. Many fantastic third-party games and hit indie titles have helped make Switch’s first year special.
Switch’s first year is officially in the books. We can’t wait to see what lies ahead for the console in the years to follow.
Here are a few messages from Nintendo and other developers:
