Splatoon 2

It’s been a couple of months since the last Splatoon 2 update, but Nintendo has another one in store. The company announced that the next patch will be delivered worldwide on January 5 in North America / January 6 in Europe.

Expect version 5.1.0 to include weapon adjustments. Patch notes haven’t been published in English at this time, but we’ll share them once they’re available.

Another update, which will likely be version 5.2.0, should follow around the end of April.

Play-Asia has opened pre-orders for the Splatoon Boy and Splatoon Boy: DX Edition figmas. The first one only includes a single figure while the DX Edition comes with two (as well as Judd and Li’l Judd).

Here are the official product descriptions and a few photos:

Splatoon 2

It’s been a few months since the last Splatoon 2 update, but Nintendo readied a new patch tonight. Version 5.0.1 is out now for all players.

Below are the full patch notes:

While the major content updates and balance adjustments for Splatoon 2 are done, the game is still getting some minor updates. In early October (October 10 in Japan, Australia and Europe and October 9 in North America), the game will be updated to version 5.0.1. This patch will fix two minor issues: a movement glitch with the Ultra Stamp will be resolved, and an exploit will be fixed that allows players to reach an area on Starfish Mainstage that’s supposed to inaccessible. Until version 5.0.1, Starfish Mainstage will only be available in Private Matches and will not appear in the regular multiplayer rotation, starting on September 20.

In a recent issue of Famitsu, a big interview was published with Splatoon 2 producer Hisashi Nogami. Nogami reflected on the game’s second year of updates and activity, the final Splatfest (including why there wasn’t a Pearl vs. Marina showdown), what lies ahead for the future, and more.

We’ve now prepared a full translation of the interview. Continue on below for the full discussion between Famitsu and Nogami.
