All branches of Nintendo of Europe uploaded a new trailer for Switch today. They’re all the same – except for one major mistake made by Nintendo of Portugal.
That version of the video actually shows what the Switch dev menu looks like. Whereas Nintendo of Europe’s other branches edited that footage out, Nintendo of Portugal left it in. I think it’s safe to say that it probably wasn’t intended.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 20 Comments
New details about Splatoon 2’s online functionality were shared on the game’s Japanese Twitter page today.
The app features online lobbies and voice chat, and works with actual game. You can rendezvous with friends (on your friends list), or friends invited via social media, and you all can directory dive into a game and communicate with voice chat.
This is a general explanation about the app and not limited to Splatoon 2. If you set up a lobby with your friend on the app, it seems as though the game automatically does the matchmaking and you start the fight, race, etc.
For Splatoon 2 private matches, you can communicate with voice chat with everyone before choosing team. After that, you only be able to communicate with your allies. Meanwhile, you can’t speak with strangers.
