Since amiibo were compatible with the original Splatoon, it seemed reasonable for them to return in the sequel, though we don’t know how they’ll be used. Splatoon fans will probably want to keep their Inklings on hand.

Over on the Japanese Splatoon Twitter page, a few new details are shared about what you can expect from Splatoon 2 Global Testfire.

Today’s update mainly centers around the stages. Along with The Reef, the new stage Musselforge Fitness will be playable. Each time a match begins in the Testfire version, the stage will be randomly chosen between the two.

Also, just like at the Switch demo events, the Testfire version allows playing a 4-on-4 Turf War battles with four types of weapons. This includes the new Splat Dualies, plus remixed versions of the Splat Roller and Splat Charger.

A new screenshot from Splatoon 2 hit the series’ Japanese Twitter page today. It provides a new look at the Spawn Point.

While the Spawn Point looks new, it naturally works just like it did in the first game. The Twitter message also points out how it seems as though it was made by a foreign company, and says even the world of Splatoon appears to be seeing globalization.
