Eagle-eyed Zelda fans have spotted another section from Breath of the Wild’s menu that seems to tie in to a certain game mechanic. Just to potentially avoid spoilers and be extra safe, we’ve posted the image after the break.
Splatoon 2 producer Hisashi Nogami shared a bunch of information about the game in an interview with 4Gamer last week. Famitsu published its own interview with Nogami in the magazine’s latest issue, and surprisingly, had a ton more to say.
First, Nogami went in-depth about what’s planned for Splatoon 2 in terms of weapons. He also further clarified how Switch’s new mobile app will work for online play, spoke about improving the visuals this time around, and confirmed HD Rumble. If that wasn’t enough, Nogami also noted that Splatoon on Wii U won’t have its online play discontinued anytime soon.
You can continue on below for our full translation (note: some small parts omitted due to being covered in the 4Gamer post, old, or not being relevant to anything). Strap yourselves in, since this is a pretty lengthy one.
According to the Nintendo UK page for Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, the game will only contain English voiceover. That means dual audio won’t be included. It was a similar situation with Fire Emblem Fates, so perhaps this news wasn’t entirely unexpected.

Before Splatoon released for Wii U, Nintendo made something known as the “Splatoon Global Testfire”. It was a limited online demo which allowed fans to get a taste for what the game had to offer at certain days / times. For Splatoon 2, Nintendo has announced that this will be returning.
Splatoon 2 Global Testfire will be hosted in late March. Players will be able to try out four different main weapons, including the new Splat Dualies, plus remixed versions of the iconic Splat Roller and Splat Charger.
The relevant days / times for Splatoon 2 Global Testfire are as follows:
