Ever since Splatoon 2 was first revealed, we’ve known that different kinds of legwear will be available in the game as an additional way of customizing your Inkling. What wasn’t known, however, was whether they would be tied to a specific shirt or shoes or whether you can freely choose which pants to wear. Footage from the latest Nintendo Direct now confirms that it’s the latter – the “Style” tab in the game’s options menu shows that the female Inkling can choose between standard pants, a skirt and spat.
This also confirms that are a total of four hairstyles to choose from for each gender.

Nintendo revealed the boxart for Hey! Pikmin, its upcoming 3DS game. What might not have been immediately apparent is the “Plays only in 2D” label. Indeed: stereoscopic 3D isn’t supported. The bottom screen is used quite often and both screens are used in conjunction, so that’s likely the reasoning here.
Thus far, the only character we’ve seen in Sonic Forces has been Sonic – in both his Modern and Classics forms. But during today’s Nintendo Direct, a “new ally” was teased. It’s possible that the character is connected to Sonic Forces’ third gameplay style.
Update: Make that four characters, actually!
These are the first two:
And two others:
Original:NeoGAF member JoeInky has spotted two new characters for Arms. In footage shown during today’s Nintendo Direct, we get a small glimpse of what looks to be a woman character and a robot. Neither has been revealed yet, but Nintendo should be sharing more details leading up to the June launch.
More footage of Team Kirby Clash Deluxe is in, now in direct-feed. Watch 23 minutes of gameplay below.
The Switch eShop updated today with the English Puyo Puyo Tetris. Take a look at some footage of it below.
Following tonight’s Nintendo Direct, Kamiko released on the Japanese Switch eShop. Interestingly, full English is included. With Switch’s region free nature, you can download Kamiko on a US or European system and easily play the game.
