If you’ve played around with the Splatoon 2: Splatfest World Premiere demo a bit, you might have stumbled upon the food truck run by Crusty Sean. You can buy different types of food there which gives you a variety of bonuses, such as increased experience earned in multiplayer battles. However, you can’t buy this food with money – instead, you need meal tickets. In the Splatfest World Premiere demo, it’s not really clear how to obtain these tickets. The Splatoon Twitter account has now revealed they can be gotten in Hero Mode and in Salmon Run. Like the special pieces of gear that can only be obtained in Salmon Run, this is another example of how the various modes interact with each other and how rewards earned in one of them can help you in another.

It’s something that some players may never notice, but you can actually see Inkopolis Tower from the original Splatoon in Splatoon 2. It’s a very nice Easter egg indeed.

For Splatoon’s Japanese Splatfests, the game’s official Twitter account always released special artwork of Callie and Marie which showed what side of the Splatfest they were on. Since Splatoon 2’s first Splatfest is now upon us in the form of the Splatfest World Premiere demo, the Twitter account has released special artwork of the new hosts Pearl and Marina. Pearl supports “rock” while Marina is on the “pop” side.

Splatoon 2’s launch is less than two weeks away. In Japan, Nintendo is gearing up for the big day with new ads that are appearing in various places.

Splatoon managed to do extremely well in Japan even though Wii U wasn’t the hottest console around at the time. With Splatoon 2, its release is definitely going to be massive. The only unfortunate part of it all is that Nintendo won’t have nearly enough Switch supply to cover the demand.
