Nintendo published a new Splatoon 2 gameplay video on its Japanese YouTube page. Get a look at it below.
During yesterday’s Treehouse Live stream, Nintendo said that Switch will support microSDXC cards that hold up to 256 GB of data. That actually was incorrect. Nintendo now notes in an official statement that “Switch is compatible with the SDXC standard, which supports up to 2TB.”
2TB cards are not actually out on the market. However, Switch will support them when they are.
It’s worth noting that even 1TB SDXC cards are still awhile for most consumers, as they were just announced last September. 512GB is currently the largest available SDXC card.

A couple of new games out came out this week on the Wii U and 3DS eShops. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a look at the gallery below.
Switch is getting not one, but two Sonic games this year. Aside from Project Sonic 2017, Sonic Mania is also coming to the system.
You might be interested to hear that Tantalus is working to bring Sonic Mania to Switch. That’s the same studio behind Zelda: Twilight Princess HD as well as Deux Ex: Human Revolution and Mass Effect 3 on Wii U.
Developer Christian Whitehead shared the news on Twitter:
Shout out to fellow Melbourne devs @Tantalus_Games who are helping us out with the Switch version of Sonic Mania!

The Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017 finally happened this week. Nintendo delivered on a number of the major points that we needed to know, with the most important two being a release date and price. Switch launches on March 3 for $300 – probably a bit earlier and slightly more expensive than some had anticipated.
Games also took center stage, with Nintendo announcing 1-2-Switch, the new IP Arms, Splatoon 2, Super Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Fire Emblem Warriors, and Snipperclips. Zelda: Breath of the Wild is also confirmed for launch. From third-parties, we’re getting games like new Shin Megami Tensei and Tales entries, Project Octopath Traveler from Square Enix, Sonic Mania, FAST RMX, and more.
I’ll leave this brief since I’m still running around like a headless chicken having been insanely busy with little sleep since Thursday, but we want to know how you feel about everything that was shown. How do you feel about the price? What about the games? Are you pleased or disappointed? Let us know below!
Highlights from last week’s topic: The calm before the Switch storm
The second day of Nintendo Switch Experience 2017 is now beginning in Japan, and there are plans to host a live stream straight from the show floor. Today’s broadcast begins at 5:30 PM PT / 8:30 PM ET / 1:30 AM in the UK / 2:30 AM in Europe.
There will be plenty of stage shows about specific Switch games (Splatoon 2, Arms, Dragon Quest Heroes I-II), booth reports, and a couple of concerts. Watch it all as it happens below.
Gameplay of Disgaea 5 Complete has arrived from Nintendo’s hands-on Switch events. Take a look at some off-screen footage below.
Snipperclips isn’t actually an internally-developed Nintendo project. Originally, it started out as “Friendshapes” from SFB Games where it first popped up at EGX 2015. Nintendo must have seen something interesting in it originally to pick up the game fully for publishing. SFB Games is still involved, and is working with Nintendo in collaboration.
