According to a listing on Keymailer, Spiral Splatter is due out soon on Switch. The website lists it for a March 13 release.
Described as “a brain-bending arcade puzzle game that will push your hand-eye coordination to the limit with nonstop, mind-boggling puzzles”, Spiral Splatter features over 100 levels, 11 unique stages with a new challenge in each one, and more. We have some additional details and a trailer below.
Rundisc has confirmed that Varian, a new futuristic brawler, is in the works for Switch. We’ll be seeing it on the eShop this summer.
Varion involves bouncing shots to destroy opponents. If you hit an opponent directly, they’ll only be stunned. Ammo is limited, and if you want to reload, you’ll need to move around the field.
Continue on below for further details and a trailer for Varion.
A number of Splatoon 2 competitions have been taking place over the past few months to determine local champions from some of Europe’s key regions. These winners will now be battling it out at Polymanga’s grand stage in Switzerland to determine the Splatoon European Championship on March 31.
Also at the event, a special virtual concert will be held featuring Pearl and Marina from Off the Hook. They’ll be appearing onstage “to sing along to a series of tracks and perform their slickest choreographed moves, all accompanied by a live band.” This will take place before the Splatoon European Championship.
Nintendo will be sharing more information about the Splatoon European Championship leading up to the event.
