Switch

The Splatoon 2: Splatfest World Premiere demo version is now available on the eShop, and while you can’t actually play any matches you, you can run around Inkopolis Square and check out the game’s various menus.

A trio of Japanese commercials are in for Splatoon 2. One is along the lines of live action, while the other two are strictly gameplay focused. All three are included below.

Here’s a little something interesting that we didn’t know about Switch before. With modders now exploring the hardware, it’s been discovered that each system has an internal NES emulator. Aside from the name “flog,” that’s the only information out there.

Now, we do know that NES games will eventually be offered for Switch. Those who subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online starting in 2018 will be able to download a compilation of classic titles with added online play. Super Mario Bros. 3, Balloon Fight, and Dr. Mario will be included in the supported titles. These games should presumably be capable of being emulated right off the bat with the “flog” software installed.

Update: Second video added below with English footage.


Original: The new Splatoon 2 download from the Switch eShop is mainly intended to vote in the game’s first Splatfest. Aside from that, when you first boot it up, you can choose some customization options for your character and go through the basics. We show that off below, along with a look at Inkopolis Square from the Japanese version.

Update: Now live in North America.


Original: The Splatoon 2: Splatfest World Premiere, announced earlier today, can now be downloaded from the Japanese Switch eShop. North America and Europe should be following very soon. When it’s live in other regions, we’ll update this post.

Splatoon 2: Splatfest World Premiere allows you to participate in the first Splatfest. In the west, Nintendo’s topic is cake vs. ice cream. Japan’s event is based on rock vs. pop.

To download Splatoon 2: Splatfest World Premiere, you’ll need 1.4GB of free space.
