Splatoon 3 Splatoween Splatfest 2025 results

Splatfests in Splatoon 3 are more of a rare occasion these days, but Splatoween 2025 just took place this weekend and we have the latest results. Nintendo was asking if zombies, skeletons, or ghosts would be the best kind of friend.

Everybody's Golf Hot Shots romance system

According to the developers behind Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots, a romance system with the caddy was almost included.

This comes from a recent interview with Japanese magazine Famitsu. During the discussion, chief producer Tomokazu Fukazawa revealed that at some point, “your caddy would have confessed to you on the greens”. However, this was not implemented due to a lack of time and money.

Our full translation of the excerpt with Fukazawa and producer Takafumi Takemoto is as follows:

Pokemon Legends Z-A shiny duplication glitch

A brand new method has been discovered in Pokemon Legends: Z-A that lets players clone shiny Pokemon, which is done by taking advantage of a glitch. This works presently, but note that there’s a strong chance that it will be patched out sometime soon.

Austin John Plays shared those findings in a new video today. It’s recommended to not keep both if you plan on using Pokemon Home – meaning you hold on to one, and trade the other.
