Another update landed on the Japanese Splatoon 2 Twitter account today. This time, we’re shown a new type of clothing brand that roughly goes by Anaaki.
The brand features punk elements, and is comprised of hand-printed t-shirts, a cap, and more. Nintendo notes that Anaaki has many enthusiastic fans.
On the latest episode of Denjin Getcha, Bandai Namco’s 3DS game Pro Yakyuu Famista Climax was featured. The full recording with footage is posted below.
The Japanese Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia updated this week with news about additional DLC. Series 2, known as “Heroes’ Challenge”, is out now along with the free “Goddess’s Gift 3” which provides a rare Taurus shard and 5 shiny Golden Marks. As for Series 3, that’s planned for May 24.
Thanks to Serenes Forest, we have the full details on both waves of new DLC. Get the information below.
NBA Playgrounds is next up as one of the more notable Switch eShop titles. It’s slated for May 9 in both North America and Europe.
In case you’re curious, we now have the game’s file size from an eShop listing. It’ll take up a hefty 7.4GB. Fun fact: that’s more than Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Thanks to Jes T for the tip.
The Japanese ARMS Twitter account posted yet another update tonight. Two tweets were sent out: one relating to alternate costumes, and another for an ARM.
Nintendo’s first tweet confirms that all characters have four alternate colors / outfits. This was shown with Helix, pictured above.
We also have a look at another ARM (Geru Geru / Gel Gel) below. This is the same jelly-esque weapon first shown in Helix’s trailer last week.

One Switch game rumor that has persisted for months is a new crossover between Mario and Ubisoft’s Rabbids. Kotaku has a follow up on the project today.
Kotaku writes that Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle will be on Switch this August or September. It’s being developed by Ubisoft with the company’s Snowdrop engine.
Based on Kotaku’s report, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle features turn-based combat, two-player local co-op, and a “goofy sense of humor.” Playable characters include Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, and, four Rabbids dressed up as Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Peach.
Kotaku writes about having gotten a look at a particular piece of art that “features Mario and crew wielding guns that shoot laser beams.” We can confirm having seen this as well, and it looks pretty ridiculous – yet amazing.
The first gameplay video has emerged for NBA Playgrounds, launching on Switch via the eShop next week. See it below.
