It’s the end of week, which means another addition is coming to Splatoon 2’s weapon arsenal. The Sloshing Machine Neo is identical to the regular Sloshing Machine in terms of stats, but comes with the Point Sensor sub-weapon and the Splat Bomb Launcher special instead. It’ll be available in-game tomorrow around noon in Japan and Australia, early in the morning in Europe and later tonight in North America.

The latest European Splatfest in Splatoon 2 has come to an end. We now have a winner for the topic involving gherkins. Players were asked if they like having the food on their burgers, or prefer having it off.

Team Gherk-OUT won in all three categories, including votes, solo battles, and team battles. Only a few percentage points separated the teams, but it was still enough to propel them to a 3-0 victory.

New amiibo for Pearl and Marina wasn’t the only Splatoon 2-related news to have come out of Niconico Chokaigi.

Here’s a look at the new stage and weapon:

Update: Just like that, everything is back up and running. Thankfully the downtime didn’t last very long at all.

Original: If you’re having issues with Splatoon 2’s online functionality, there’s a reason for that. Nintendo is currently conducting emergency maintenance.

Splatoon 2’s network services were impacted starting at 11:31 AM PT / 2:31 PM ET / 7:31 PM in the UK / 8:31 PM in Europe. This is still ongoing. When it ends, we’ll let you know.
