We’ve actually already known about the next new weapon coming to Splatoon 2 for a while. Announced during a special video released during Gamescom, the Forge Splattershot Pro will be the first weapon that uses the new Bubble Blower Special. It also comes with the Suction Bomb sub-weapon. Otherwise, it’s exactly the same as the regular Splattershot Pro.
The weapon will be available from Sheldon later today (North America) / early tomorrow morning (Europe) / tomorrow at midday (Australia and Japan). Just in time for the Splatfest!

NBA 2K18 Switch file size, day and date updates with PS4/Xbox One
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 16 Comments
We have more news about the Switch version of NBA 2K18 stemming from a hands on event that took place today.
First up, NBA 2K18 will be about 25GB. That puts it as one of the larger digital downloads on Switch, but if you have a big microSD card, it’s not entirely unmanageable.
We also have good news about updates on Switch. Nintendo is allowing developer Visual Concepts to push updates day and date with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions. That means the Switch version won’t be forgotten, and will be receiving the same treatment as other platforms post-launch.
