Splatoon 2 introduced its latest update a couple of days ago. Version 4.5.0 introduced weapon changes, fixes, and more.

Early on in Switch’s lifecycle, Nintendo had some issues with the eShop in which release dates listed on the store would sometimes turn out to be incorrect. This really hadn’t been a problem in quite some time, but has now happened again with Moero Chronicle Hyper.
