Last week, Nintendo published a video which gave a behind-the-scenes look at the recording of Splatoon 2’s soundtrack, including the voice actresses for Pearl and Marina. Today they posted another video like that today, featuring the in-universe bands ω-3, From Bottom and the Squid Sisters!

A brand new weapon will be added to Splatoon 2 soon.  The Glooga Dualies’ special feature is that they do increased damage immediately following a dodge-roll. They come with the Ink Mine sub-weapon and the Inkjet special. They will be available to purchase in-game tomorrow around noon in Japan and Australia, early in the morning in Europe and later tonight in North America.

Nintendo has issued another update for Splatoon 2. The latest patch, version 2.0.1, is now available for download.

Today’s update tackles one specific problem. After version 2.0.0 debuted, an issue popped up in which the Great Zapfish was not appearing in Inkopolis Square once the necessary conditions had been met. Today’s patch fixes that, so many of you should be able to find Great Zapfish roaming around once again.

Thanks to Cameron for the tip.

Over in Japan, the brand new art book for Splatoon 2 released this week. One particular section of the book has information about the ages of the members from Off the Hook.

Pearl is 21 years old, the art book reveals. Marina is actually a bit younger at 18 years old.

The more you know.

Nintendo has provided the latest updates for Arowana Mall, Shellendorf Institute, and Walleye Warehouse. Find overviews, the release timing, and screenshots, for each stage below.

Nintendo began distribution the new, major update for Splatoon 2 last night. Version 2.0.0 added a ton of content, including stages, gear, and so much more.

One unintended side effect of the update relates to the Great Zapfish. Strangely, after applying the patch, it is removed entirely. Nintendo did at least say on the Japanese Twitter page for Splatoon 2 that this will be addressed with a future update.

Players can see the Great Zapfish after finishing Splatoon 2’s Hero Mode. You can spot it flying in the Inkopolis Square, though it’s not entirely clear what prompts the appearance.
