Update: Splatoon version 1.3.0 is now live. We’ve also added the official patch notes from Nintendo below.
Original: Later tonight, the next Splatoon patch will be going live. Nintendo will be publishing version 1.3.0 following a bit of maintenance.
The patch notes are live, and while they’re only in Japanese at the moment, Reddit’s frozenpandaman was kind enough to translate everything. You can find them in full below. We’ll add in the official English version later today.
Beach Buggy Racing could be seeing release on the European Switch eShop next week. A listing on the store shows an updated release date of September 14.
Beach Buggy Racing was originally listed for July 27. That day came and went, but without a release. Nintendo has been slightly better with European eShop dates on Switch as of late, so hopefully this new one for Beach Buggy Racing sticks.

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime appeared at Variety’s Entertainment and Technology Summit in Los Angeles today. Reggie commented on a few topics, such as Switch supply, potential TV / movie partnerships, VR / AR.
First, on the topic of getting enough Switch units out there for the holidays, Reggie noted:
“Certainly the demand is there, and our supply chain is there (to hit the 10 million goal). Are we going to have enough for the holiday? That’s what we are focused on.”

The main hook of Super Mario Odyssey is Mario’s ability to capture enemies. This is largely in part possible thanks to his new companion Cappy.
Mario may not be the only character in the game with a possessed head accessory. In new artwork included on the Super Mario Odyssey website, we’re able to see Peach with a crown that looks a whole lot like Cappy. It doesn’t seem like Cappy exactly since it has a slightly more feminine appearance. It’s a very close resemblance, however.
Nintendo is releasing Splatoon 2 version 1.3.0 tonight. Besides that, the team is already planning the game’s next update.
