Nintendo just announced two major updates planned for Splatoon 2 over the next month or so. Following up on that, we have a bunch of screenshots and art showing what’s to come. Find the full set of images below.
Nintendo has outlined two huge updates coming to Splatoon 2 on November 23 and in December.
Both updates are significant, but the one dropping this week will be adding more “stuff”. Nintendo will be rolling out new stages over the next few weeks, including MakoMart, Shellendorf Institute, Walleye Warehouse, and Arowana Mall. Salmon Run is also getting a new Salmonid Smokeyard stage.
On the gear front, roughly 140 pieces will be added. These include shoes, headgear and clothes, returning items from the original Splatoon, and more. Also incoming are new hairstyles, new battle music, higher level caps, new amiibo functionality, and convenient gear swapping.
In December, Splatoon 2 is adding Clam Blitz. Players will compete to collect clams scattered around the stage. The clam follows the player after they pick one up, and you’ll need to throw the clam into the basket near the opponent’s base. The first team to score 100 points wins. However, you’ll need to break a barrier by first collecting 10 clams and earning a Power Clam.
We have a ton of additional details about both updates below, along with a trailer.
My Nintendo has updated in Europe with a new selection of indie games. Members can use their coins on a few titles for Wii U and 3DS.
On Wii U, Year Walk and Gunman Clive HD Collection are available. They cost 60 and 40 Gold Points respectively. Meanwhile, 3DS has Mighty Switch Force! and Siesta Fiesta for 40 Gold Points.
These rewards will be on My Nintendo until February 1. They can be ordered here.
NIS America recently confirmed the Limited Edition of Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings for the North American market. Their European counterpart has now followed suit: you can pre-order the Limited Edition of Atelier Lydie & Suelle at the NISA Europe Online Store here. The contents of the Limited Edition are identical to the North American one – it contains the game itself, a hardcover art book, a soundtrack CD, a cloth poster, a collector’s box and a “mystery bonus item”.
Nintendo has released a brief 30 second trailer / commercial for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 titled “Let’s go to Elysium”, which you can watch below. This is actually an English version of a Japanese commercial we posted about two weeks ago.
A new trailer has been released for Pokemon Duel, which highlights the changes coming with the upcoming 5.0 update. Players can look forward to new figures such as Mega Sceptile, Mega Blaziken, Mega Swampert, Tapu Fini and Primarina. The user interface is also being revamped.
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp was originally slated to be released tomorrow, November 22nd. However, it seems like Nintendo has decided to release the game a day early. It should now available both on the Google Play Store and the iOS App Store in most countries. Check your respective store on your mobile device to see if you can download the app.
However, you can’t actually play the game right now. It seems like either the servers are down for maintenance at the moment or are buckling under the heavy load of everyone trying to access them at the same time, as you can’t currently get past the title screen without getting a communication error.
We will keep you updated once the game can actually be played.
We have two rare blades to show of for this Xenoblade Chronicles 2 update, the first being Wadatsumi designed by Kozaki Yuusuke. Wadatsumi is voiced by Shuuichi Ikeda. Menou is the second blade to be shown off and she too is designed by Kozaki Yuusuke. Menou is voiced by Atsumi Tanezaki. You can check the both out down below.
The newest tempest trial has begun and will last from now to December 12th. There will also be daily quests for players to grab some extra rewards. Joshua will be the reward character this time around.
Another Pokemon Shuffle update is here with a competitive Zygarde stage and repeat runs of Alolan Sandslash, Araquanaid and Popplio stages. These will be available til November 28th 2017.
