Nintendo bans some Splatoon 2 players who hacked in Octolings and used them online
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Octolings won’t be playable in Splatoon 2 until Octo Expansion arrives this summer. However, some folks have managed to hack them into the game in large part because files for these characters already exist. A few players who have done this have also gone online as Octolings, which Nintendo apparently wasn’t happy about.
We’re hearing reports that some players who hacked in Octolings have been banned by Nintendo. The company is sending out emails about the restriction that affects all of Splatoon 2’s online multiplayer.

Ubisoft’s Legendary Fishing rated for Switch in South Korea
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Fortnite isn’t the only new Switch game to have been rated in South Korea. Legendary Fishing, an unannounced project from Ubisoft, also appeared on the classification site.
For the most part, it’s unclear what Legendary Fishing entails. The rating does say that you use a fishing rod to catch fish and accomplish missions… and that’s about it.
We’ll hopefully have more information soon.

The Pokemon Company clarifies plans for online in Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee once and for all
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Since Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee were unveiled earlier in the week, there’s been confusion as to what online features – if any – would be included in the games. Famitsu has finally received clarification straight from The Pokemon Company.
Both titles will indeed allow for online battling and trading. However, in order to use the functionality, you will need to be a Nintendo Switch Online member. Online won’t be overly similar to more recent Pokemon games since features like the GTS, Battle Spot and Wonder Trade aren’t included. Expect a simpler online experience overall.
Thanks to Lin Yuqiang for the tip.
