Splatoon’s second Japanese Splatfest will ask players to choose between two different foods. Do you prefer McDonald’s french fries or Chicken McNuggets?

The Splatfest will begin on September 9 at 3 PM JST. It’ll last for a full day per usual.

Assuming there isn’t a last-minute delay, NeuroVoider will be coming to Switch next week. Nintendo’s North American website has it listed for September 7, as does the European Switch eShop.

Here’s an overview of the game:

NeuroVoider* is a twin-stick shooter RPG set in a cyber futuristic world about brains shooting around evil robots with nuclear rocket launchers. Battle through the horde of vigilant robots, boost your character with the smoking remains of your victims, and defeat the master NeuroVoider to end this eternal war. Play it coop with up to 4 friends, or go alone in an adventure of hack’n’slash rampage, with a pinch of rogue-lite, and some permadeath.

* may contain explosions. 

Features 

• Action packed top-down shooting. May include explosions. 
• Local multiplayer up to 4 players. Total coop rampage. 
• Procedurally generated content and hazards. Hope you don’t mind a few game overs. 
• 8736 unique enemies to blow up. Yes, we counted. 
• Tons of loot to customize your character with. Explode your foes with that “double twin-plasma shotgun of father doom” you’ve just dropped. 
• Gigantic bosses to challenge your bullet dodging skills.
• Powerful dark synth music by Dan Terminus. May your ears survive the beat.

NeuroVoider will cost $13.99 / £12.99

Earlier today, Nintendo announced a partnership with Western Digital for specially-branded Switch microSD cards. Perhaps that’s in part due to a requirement from some upcoming games. According to Nintendo, “a microSD card will be needed for certain Nintendo Switch games that contain an especially large amount of content and require additional storage for players to enjoy the full experience.”

A Nintendo of America representative told IGN that boxart will be sure to inform consumers about the memory card requirement on the front and back of packaging. This includes NBA 2K18, which is pictured above. The eShop will also continue to let buyers know about file sizes.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a crazy concept in its premise, yet Nintendo ended up signing off on the project. Creative director Davide Soliani told IGN that the company is actually “quite open-minded” to new ideas. You just need to come up with a concept that can justify its existence.

As many of you know, Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto didn’t want Ubisoft to create a platformer. Instead, he wanted them to come up with their own concept. Ubisoft ran wild with the challenge, and created a turn-based strategy game and gave guns to Mario and the rest of the gang.
