A number of Splatoon 2 competitions have been taking place over the past few months to determine local champions from some of Europe’s key regions. These winners will now be battling it out at Polymanga’s grand stage in Switzerland to determine the Splatoon European Championship on March 31.
Also at the event, a special virtual concert will be held featuring Pearl and Marina from Off the Hook. They’ll be appearing onstage “to sing along to a series of tracks and perform their slickest choreographed moves, all accompanied by a live band.” This will take place before the Splatoon European Championship.
Nintendo will be sharing more information about the Splatoon European Championship leading up to the event.

Saturday Morning RPG dev hoping Switch release will pave the way for a sequel
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Saturday Morning RPG was recently confirmed for Switch, and it was notable for two reasons. For one thing, it was announced as Limited Run Games’ first title for the console, meaning it will be receiving a physical release. It’s also a new game for the system – and a pretty good one at that.
Josh Fairhurst, the boss of Mighty Rabbit Studios, has actually been wanting to make a sequel to Saturday Morning RPG. And if it does well on Switch, that could pave the way for a sequel.
Fairhurst recently tweeted:

New Kirby Star Allies details from Famitsu
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Famitsu has a big update on Kirby Star Allies this week. Aside from revealing Pon & Con as a boss returning from Kirby’s Dream Land 3, the magazine shares other information as well.
At one point in the game, after Kirby and others have fought hard, just when they thought Planet Popstar would finally return to peace… suddenly a giant shadow appears, which turns out to be the Dark Fortress Jamahalda. It sticks its tip to the surface to land. Kirby and the rest of the gang ride the Warp Star and head to the fortress without any fear, even though an eerie atmosphere surrounds it.
