It should go without saying that this information will have some gameplay spoilers so dodge the info below and the video if you want a pure Splatoon 2 experience. However, there is also some information on some scrapped content from the game as well, which could be interesting for those of you that want to know what may have been potentially cut out (but at the same time this stuff could also come back later through another update).
GameXplain has compiled a video of recent dataminers’ findings on Splatoon 2, which you can check out below. Or if you’d like a quick synopsis you can read it below the video.
Ahead of LEGO Worlds’ launch on Switch tomorrow, a lengthy gameplay video has come in showing 22 minutes of footage. Watch it below.
Kingdom: Two Crowns (not to be confused with the first game Kingdom: New Lands, coming to Switch this month) was playable at PAX this past week. Get a look at some off-screen footage below.
Just like Super Mario Run, the Switch Parental Controls app has received an update. And also just like Super Mario Run, there isn’t much to the update.
Nintendo released version 1.2.0 on iOS and Android. According to the patch notes, bug fixes have been implemented.
Super Mario Run disappeared from the App Store earlier today. But less than a day later, it’s back up. A new update is also available.
The latest patch for Super Mario Run puts the game at version 3.0.3. Unfortunately though, the update isn’t too exciting. Nintendo says that it only implemented bug fixes.
Thanks to Nidocon for the tip.
Digital Melody released Timber Tennis on mobile earlier this year. The game is now coming to new platforms, including Switch, courtesy of Crunching Koalas.
As the title suggests, the main hook of Timber Tennis is… tennis. However, there’s more to it than that. You can upgrade skills, win trophies, compete with others locally or online, and more.
Here’s a comprehensive overview:
At Gamescom, Lola Pop was announced as the newest character in ARMS. She should be added to the roster later this month.
The Nintendo Treehouse Log has slowed down on updates as of late, but a new entry recently posted covers Lola Pop in-depth. You can read it right here. There’s talk about the character herself, as well as her new ARMS.
Metroid producer Yoshio Sakamoto’s involvement with the series go all the way back to the original game. He wasn’t initially assigned to the project, but that all changed when the team encountered some issues during the latter stages of development.
Speaking with Game Informer, Sakamoto reflected on the first Metroid’s creation:
“My boss told me that the Metroid team was having a very hard time, and as someone who had experience on building video game projects could I go and somehow help this game progress to release? In short, I was forcefully asked to participate. By his tone, I really smelled danger. And as I joined the project and looked around, I realized that the release date was right around the corner but the project had nothing there. Even with our limited resources and time, I figured out how we could leverage the existing components of the game to create variation and an exciting experience.”
“Metroid was one of my first experiences on a pretty big video game project, but I wasn’t sure if players would enjoy the game. I thought that it was a special game, and even then, I believed that it could be a special franchise, something that I would like to continue. Through the development of Metroid 1, I really grasped the possibilities and potential of a video game.”
