Along with North America, the next European Splatfest is up and running in Splatoon 2. The latest competition has players battling for either sweet or salted popcorn. We have official art celebrating the Splatfest above.
Back in February, Bethesda and Panic Button updated the Switch version of Doom. One of the highlights was an additional control scheme, allowing players to take advantage of gyro motion aiming.
Wolfenstein II is another first-person shooter Bethesda and Panic Button are bringing to Switch. Fans will be happy to hear that the optional gyro motion aiming will be making a return. Even better, it will be there from the start, so we won’t have to wait for an update to add in the feature.
Here’s the confirmation from Wolfenstein’s Twitter account:
