Square Enix has mentioned on a couple of occasions that Final Fantasy XIV is a possibility for Switch. This is something that director Naoki Yoshida reiterated once again while speaking with finder.com.au.
According to Yoshida, discussions with Nintendo are ongoing. However, when putting Final Fantasy XIV on a new platform, supporting the community is a shared responsibility between Square Enix and Nintendo. The two sides are talking about this (and likely more), but Yoshida said that “these conversations will take a long time.”
Yoshida’s full words:
“We want as many players joining Final Fantasy XIV as possible. …We need to make sure Nintendo and Microsoft understand what we do and have them know about our online and QA regulations. We believe these conversations will take a long time.”

The official Splatoon Twitter account has introduced a new sub-weapon in Splatoon 2 – poison mist. This is a thrown weapon that produces a cloud of poison mist in the area it lands. Enemies who are in that cloud move slowly, just as if they were talking through ink of the opposing team. This effect gets stronger the longer you stay in the cloud.
This is definitely an interesting new sub-weapon that opens up tons of new tactical possibilities. It may not do damage, but forcing your enemies to move slowly could be quite devastating for them.
We already know one main weapon that comes in a set with the poison mist – the Blaster. The Twitter account confirmed that this weapon from the first game will return in Splatoon 2. Its special will be the Splashdown.
