You may know Falcom for its work on the The Legend of Heroes series. The company has also worked on the long running Ys franchise. While Falcom hasn’t done too much with Nintendo platforms and they aren’t exactly running to Switch, they are keeping an open mind when it comes to supporting the platform.

Falcom president Toshiro Kondo mentioned to USgamer that Switch is an “extremely Nintendo-like” platform. He also noted that the team isn’t working on any games for the system currently, but added: “Should someone on staff bring up an interesting idea or something, we’d be more than happy to entertain it and develop a game for Switch.”

Kondo was also asked if Switch can fill the gap left by the PlayStation Vita. He had this to say:

“I guess you’d say genre of games in Japan called Otome games which are games made for girls and right now they’re heavily concentrated on the Vita. Should those games not go to Switch, then there’s really no reason for their fans to purchase it.”

Splatfests are back in Splatoon 2. And before the game launches later this month, fans will be able to download a demo event from the eShop to participate in the first competition.

North America and Europe have the same topic, which is cake vs. ice cream. In Japan though, it’s entirely different. Players in that country will instead be asked if they prefer rock or pop.

So which of these two topics do you prefer?

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– With the Splatoon 2 game launching exclusively for the Nintendo Switch console in just a couple of weeks, Nintendo partnered with the renowned Squid Research Lab to provide a refresher on some of the new and returning features coming to the squid sequel. The special Nintendo Direct presentation highlighted many of the game’s new features, new weapons, new locations and, most importantly for all the fashion-forward cephalopods out there, its fresh new styles. The video also touched on SplatNet 2, the new service for mobile devices that displays information about Splatoon 2 like stage schedules, gear and stats. SplatNet 2 is part of the Nintendo Switch Online mobile app launching on July 21, which lets players send multiplayer invites to their friends via social media, as well as enables the use of voice chat in battles.

“Splatoon 2 is a huge, robust sequel to the original Splatoon,” said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Fans that played and loved the first game will have plenty of new stuff to enjoy, while the game is also a great introduction for players new to the colorful and stylish series.”

Before the game launches on July 21, Nintendo Switch owners can dive into the fun with the Splatoon 2: Splatfest World Premiere demo. This special Splatfest will happen July 15 from 3 to 7 p.m. PT. Players just have to download the free demo in Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch and choose a team before the Splatfest begins. The demo can be downloaded early before the Splatfest goes live, starting later today.
