Nintendo has announced the next North American and European Splatfest for Splatoon 2. The latest event will take place next weekend.
As for the topic, Nintendo is featuring a classic debate. What came first: the chicken or the egg?
Players will be able to vote for what they believe starting on March 10. The Splatfest will run for a full day, with the results coming soon after it ends.
To ring in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s first anniversary, Nintendo has shared a special piece of art. We have it attached above.
Thanks to skilarbabcock74 for the tip.
With the Switch starting to reach its first anniversary in some parts of the world, owners noticed an issue with the display of their play times. Instead of showing the proper count, games like Zelda had their totals wiped. Even if you played the game for 100 hours, Switch instead shows that it was “First played 0 days ago”.
One of the theories discussed is that this could be a bug. Nintendo has yet to confirm that officially, but the company has now commented on the situation.
