A new Splatoon 3 update just dropped, with Nintendo issuing version 1.1.1.

This is a notable patch as there are changes and fixes to various aspects of the game. Splatfests, player controls, multiplayer, Salmon Run, and single-player have all been touched up in one way or another.

One aspect worth pointing to specifically is that Nintendo adjusted the rate of Tricolor Battle occurrence and from the defending team’s perspective, they will trigger somewhat less frequently than before. However, Nintendo says the change is “temporary”.

The full patch notes for the Splatoon 3 version 1.1.1 update are as follows:

Earthworm Jim, Alisia Dragoon, Beyond Oasis Switch Online

A few more SEGA Genesis games are now available on Nintendo Switch Online, as Earthworm Jim, Alisia Dragoon, and Beyond Oasis have just been added. All three can be accessed if you’re subscribed to the Expansion Pack tier.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection online

Capcom provided an update on Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection at the Tokyo Game Show today, and the big news shared is that online functions are planned. In addition to online battles, it will be possible to trade Chips with others.

Another element was also introduced. In the collection, a 3D MegaMan.EXE will guide you through the game selection screen and gallery, complete with voiced reactions.

Splatoon 3

The latest Japanese hardware sales from Famitsu are as follows:

PowerWash Simulator

Square Enix announced a slew of new Switch games this week, and the pattern continues with PowerWash Simulator.

The soothing sim title, developed by FuturLab, launched this past summer on Xbox platforms and PC. The power of relaxation is placed into the hands of players, and they can unlock new tools and upgrades to help clean more efficiently.

Yakuza Switch

Despite some fans hoping it would happen, the Yakuza series has stayed off Switch. That doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon, with executive producer and Ryu Ga Gotoku studio head Masayoshi Yokoyama now weighing in.

Yokoyama spoke with GameSpot about the situation, explaining that the two are a mismatch. He feels Switch is considered to be more family-friendly in contrast to the underground attitude of the Yakuza series.

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai

Square Enix is developing Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai for Switch, the company has confirmed.

The game is an action RPG that was first announced in 2020. It’ll let players live through the story of the anime series, The Adventure of Dai. Visuals combine art from the anime and manga.

SEGA has readied a new trailer for Sonic Frontiers to celebrate the game’s appearance at the 2022 Tokyo Game Show. It provides more gameplay, a first look at Super Sonic, and more.

We have the following overview for Sonic Frontiers:

Original (9/7): Nintendo will release a special Switch OLED system for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, the company has announced. It will be available on November 4, 2022 at select stores. Pricing is set at $359.99.

The console features art inspired by the upcoming Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet games. The Legendary Pokemon Koraidon and Miraidon are displayed on the glossy front side of the white system’s dock, and a design inspired by the series’ iconic Poke Ball is shown on the back. The back of the system itself is adorned with special illustrations of the three Pokémon you can choose as your first partners in the game – Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly – along with illustrations of symbols players may recognize as they journey through the games. If that wasn’t enough, the Joy-Con controllers, which match the main colors of Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, feature the school emblems of the Naranja Academy and Uva Academy that appear in the respective games.
