The latest episode of the Play Nintendo Show, featuring 1-2-Switch, has gone live. Andrew and Jenna go head-to-head in various mini-games in today’s video. Check out the full episode below.
Earlier this week, Nintendo showed off the furry Splatoon 2 character found in video footage and the Testfire event on its Japanese Twitter page. An English name was made known today. Officially, the character is called Li’l Judd.
Here’s the introduction for the Splatoon 2 Tumblr page:
“Breaking news! We’ve confirmed the identity of the furry creature seen previously in both video footage and the recent Testfire event! Ready for it? Everyone, meet Li’l Judd!
Okay, I’ll be the first to admit he’s adorable, but from what we’ve been able to observe, he’s gunning for Judd’s spot as premier Turf War judge like a bloodthirsty tiger crouching in the jungle underbrush. The details of his origins are still shrouded in mystery, but rest assured our research on this fuzzy subject will continue.”
