During the Pokémon GO’s Season of Max Out (Tuesday, September 3rd, 2024 to Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024), Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon were added to the game. This mechanic is part of Pokémon’s Generation VIII (Pokémon Sword and Shield) where Pokémon transform into “giant” versions of themselves or even new larger…
With the Nintendo Switch 2 presentation less than a month away now, people are understandably very eager to learn more about the successor to the Switch. While more is known now than has ever been before, there has been little in the way of specific information made available quite yet….
When Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 was announced a few days ago, fans such as myself were excited. It’s been too long since the THPS series was prominent and while the excellent THPS 1+2 hinted at a bright future, Activision Blizzard put the kibosh on things after the game sold…
Our beloved narrator from the Squid Research Lab has had a busy year! Salmon Run is only a few months old and made its public debut via E3 last month, so between the interviews and tidbits from Nintendo Directs, today’s summary was quite welcome. 24 hours, but not daily Through…
Personally, when I booted up Splatoon for the first time, one of the things I was most excited about was my Inkling. Aside from the few skin and eye color options, customizing my Inkling with new gear was one of the best parts of the game for me, and it…

We know that in 2018 that Nintendo’s online service will start up, and over the last couple of months we’ve been given details of how Splatoon 2 will function. With a delayed release timeframe and a headset for voice chat, we didn’t know what to expect at launch. If you…
It’s a tough world, show business. As artists fade out of the limelight, new talent’s ready and waiting to take the stage. It looks like that’s what’s happening to the Squid Sisters, with Callie and Marie caught up in their own personal problems and responsibilities. In the wake of their…
Ranked battles are back in Splatoon 2 and look to be fiercer than ever before. The same trio of modes will set the stage for squid kid supremacy: Splat Zones, Tower Control and Rainmaker. While there’s some small differences with how some of them play, such as checkpoints on Tower…
The original Splatoon had post-launch content updates that were slowly rolled out over time, easing players into the game’s machinations while also keeping folks invested in what was to come. So it’s not much of a surprise that Splatoon 2 will do the same — it was announced during the…
Just like in the first Splatoon, amiibo are back and better than ever, and they’re just as easy to activate as last time. In Splatoon 2, you’ll find a giant amiibo box right in the plaza that’ll let you scan any and all Splatoon amiibo right into the game. Yep,…
With the mysterious fate of the Squid Sisters lingering in our minds, it’s left us wondering who in Splatoon 2 who fulfill their role of announcing stage rotations. Now we wonder no longer, as a new dynamic duo has come onto the scene, consisting of two stylish gals who form…
It’s no surprise that Splatoon 2 is letting players get their hands on it just a little bit earlier. The first game had multiple Testfires, and we even had one for the sequel a few months back. But doing the same thing again and again just isn’t the Inkopolis way,…
