Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 12 Comments
Splatoon 2’s first Splatfest will be a worldwide affair. As is the case in other regions, Japan’s topic is confirmed to be mayonnaise vs. ketchup. Nintendo had previously confirmed the same for North America and Europe.
The timing for each Splatfest will vary by region. In North America, the event begins on Friday, August 4 at 9 PM PT / Saturday, August 5 at 12 AM ET. It will end exactly one day later.
Nintendo notes that the results will be unique based on region. The way in which the tweet is worded makes it seem as though Japan, America + Australia / New Zealand, and Europe will be tallied separately.

Fan-made program helps create drawings in Splatoon 2
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 37 Comments
Miiverse doesn’t exist on Switch. However, that hasn’t stopped Splatoon 2 players from coming up with some creative drawings. The game has its own built-in feature so that all sorts of images can be created and shared with others.
ShinyQuagsire23 has gone out of his way to develop a program that brings the more complicated drawings to life. The Pokken Tournament controller is used to enter in the correct sequence of movements and button presses needed to make the drawing. You can sort of think of it as a tool-assisted run. In general, drawings take roughly an hour to complete.
Here’s a look at the program in action:
