We’re all aware by now how slow Nintendo can be to react to trends it didn’t initiate. The company is a far better leader than a follower, and whenever it has to adapt to changes established by its competitors…it tends to stumble. We’re still waiting on a decent online plan. So it comes as no surprise it’s taken this long for Big N to respond to the esports industry and enter the field, but now they have. Presenting the first official, Nintendo-led esports tournaments for both Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Splatoon 2! Beginning next month, tryouts for the Splatoon 2 North America Inkling Open 2019 and the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate North America Open 2019 will begin at four designated locations across America. Three individual rounds of online events will be played there, and the winners will ultimately have their chance at the final event at the PAX East video game conference in Boston on March 30. “This inclusive pair of tournaments is a great way for anyone to

Splatoon 2 has been hot from the moment it released on the Nintendo Switch. Between the main story, online modes, Salmon Run, Splatfests, and more, Nintendo has been keeping players entertained through it. And now, via Gamescom, a trio of updates were revealed for the game, and will be coming soon. First up, a new stage for Turn War was revealed in the form of Manta Maria. This is a very unique stage, as it’s the first to even been on a ship (not counting Salmon Run which is a wrecked ship). This stage will have masts and netting for you to use to try and get the upper hand. The map will arrive on August 26th. Second, a new weapon is being brought into the mix in the form of the Bubble Blower. This weapon can make three massive bubbles for you to use as both weapon and shield. It’ll be attached with the Forge Splattershot Pro, and will become available September 2nd. Finally, Salmon Run will be getting

Splatoon 2 Gets All-New Mode

At the recent Nintendo Direct, the Big N made sure to shed some more light on the highly anticipated Splatoon 2, and they did so by unveiling an all-new mode called Salmon Run. It’s basically the Splatoon version of Horde Mode, but with some fun twists. First off, you are facing off against Salmon-like enemies called “Chum”, which will attack in waves. When you kill them, you get special eggs as rewards. This is actually the true goal of the mode, but we’ll get to that. As you would expect, there are much tougher enemies that come out in Salmon Run that require true teamwork to beat. And when you do beat them, you’ll get better eggs. The collection of eggs isn’t random for the record, as you’ll get them so you can get rewards that’re being kept secret for now. Another twist is that your Inklings will have special gear, ones that you can use to actually revive your teammates. Which means that this mode won’t just allow you

The Nintendo Switch is set to officially launch on March 3 at a price of $299.99 / £279.99. The cost is slightly more expensive than many pundits had and fans had expected. The launch will happen in major European countries, Japan, US, Canada, Hong Kong, and other select territories. Amongst the host of details that were released about the new console was the fact that it will feature no region locking and allow up to eight devices to connect together for local multiplayer matches. The capacitive touch screen controller has a battery life of between three to six hours, but it can be played while plugged in and charging. The console will come with 32GB of internal memory that can be upgraded with the use of external memory cards. The accessories for the console also seem to be incredibly expensive, with a pair of Joycon controllers currently priced at £74.99. The Japanese company has revealed some of the games that are currently in development for the system. These include the

Just when you thought there wasn’t much to get excited about regarding amiibo anymore, check THIS out: the Squid Sisters from Splatoon are coming out in July! For those who have yet to play Splatoon, it’s hard to describe how the appeal of Callie and Marie would be so great that fans would gladly plunk down $25 for the package they both come in. You just need to play the game. It’s depressing the way a sizable chunk of the public has dismissed the Wii U. I mean, I get WHY they’d dismiss it now, given Nintendo just admitted its run is pretty much over, but if they never play some of these games, it’ll be a real tragedy. The Squid Sisters amiibo do unlock something in the game, but it’s rather trivial — they sing some songs and that’s it. The point is just to have them. When they’re released on July 8, it will be alongside reissues of Inkling Boy, Inkling Girl and the squid amiibo, with alternate

Nintendo has officially revealed that two new Amiibo figurines are going to be released this July for the hit Wii U game Splatoon. Gamers will now be able to own the Squid Sister pair of Callie and Marie. You can check out the announcement tweet and reveal video of the new Amiibo below. The Callie and Marie figures are due out on July 8. However, that’s not the only reason to get excited about Splatoon Amiibo figures. Nintendo also confirmed that there will be new colors of Inkling Girl, Inkling Boy and Inkling Squid Amiibo figures that will launch on the same day. The latter three with the new colors will be available as a bundled pack of three for the SRP of $34.99. The good news for fans is that they will have the option of purchasing Callie and Marie together as a bundle pack or individually for the SRP of $12.99 for the single packs or $24.99 for the bundle. The Amiibo craze, with Nintendo getting into the

This week’s issue of Weekly Famitsu contained an interview with the dev team behind Splatoon, and Nintendo Everything translated the pages. They mentioned a few interesting facts (there’s a map of Inkopolis, but only they own it and it’s just a sketch guideline). Two new stages, called Piranha Pit and Ancho-V Games (at least in Japan) will have very narrow corridors and require some unique strategies. Also? There will be no more updates to the game after January 2016, so we’ll have seen all the stages and weapons by February — the final total will be 14 stages. When pressed for an answer as to why the updates would stop, the team said “right now there are already 14 stages and over 70 kinds of weapons. So if [we] add even more, it would be hard for players to memorize all of them, especially when considering weapon compatibility with stages.” Pffffft, I’m sure. It’s more likely that something else is about to take all their attention away. It has also

Nintendo will be patching their crazy online shooter Splatoon in a couple of days, mainly to rebalance it. Some weapons will be nerfed while others will be tweaked up. Apparently there were also shortcuts possible in several of the maps (Really? No one told ME). In addition, anyone who’s managed to reach the top rank in the game, S, will be matched with other Rank S users more frequently. This adjustment process should be familiar to anyone who’s played an online multiplayer game before, but it’s new for this company. See Nintendo’s full patch list below. Weapons Adjustments: Adjustments will be made to Main Weapons, Sub Weapons, and Special Weapons. View details Ranked Battle Adjustments Adjustments will be made to the rules in Rainmaker and Tower Control modes. View details Ranking Adjustments Rank S users will be matched up with other rank S users more frequently, and rank S+ users will be matched up with other rank S+ users more frequently To accommodate this change, the calculation method for ranks

The Top 5 Updates For Splatoon

The Top 5 Updates For Splatoon

When Splatoon was revealed at E3 2014, people were surprised at the unique look that it had and the interesting take it had on third-person shooter gameplay. As time went on, the anticipation grew and it became of the most hyped games for Nintendo in 2015. One thing that made some people raise an eyebrow was the “lack of content” it supposedly didn’t have. To be fair, Splatoon launched with only a few maps, a Story Mode, and some customization. With the promise of much more over the coming months. Many were skeptical, but then Splatoon launched, the updates (all of which were free) started rolling out, and the fun hasn’t stopped since. There’s been a lot of updates, both big and small, for Splatoon since its launch in late May. Today, I’m going to show off some of the best ones, and why they matter in the grand scheme of things. 5. Weapons and Gear Galore! One of the best parts about Splatoon is being able to customize your
