Just last September, Splatoon 3 celebrated its two-year anniversary in a spectacular sendoff with the Grand Festival. This celebration also marked the effective ending of the game, with new monthly Splatfest themes coming to a close. While the new content has slowed down, it hasn’t stopped entirely, as the seasonal…
For older Nintendo fans, Space World 2000 is one of the most pivotal moments in the company’s history. The event where Nintendo not only unveiled the GameCube to the public but showcased Super Mario 128 and some ridiculously high-quality 3D renders for a Legend of Zelda prototype, Space World 2000…
Across Nintendo’s vast reach, Mario has quite a few unique games under his belt. While most people tend to focus on the main series entries, there’s many games that fly under the radar for one reason or another. One such oft-forgotten title is Super Mario Run. This mobile-exclusive platformer doesn’t…
Splatoon 2’s first Splatfest since launch is proving quite divisive across the globe, with ketchup and mayo fans firmly entrenched in their opinions. While it is still ongoing in several regions, Japan’s face-off has concluded, with mayonnaise coming out on top. It was a close 2-1 result though, with mayo…
What’s red and white? It’s squid ink all over the latest Splatfest! Ah yes, Team Mayo vs. Team Ketchup. It won’t be red and white ink, they said — maybe yellow and orange? Some other color combination with colors we’ve already seen in Splatoon, perhaps? Nope! Why make it more…
Ahead of this weekend’s Mayo vs. Ketchup Splatfest, Nintendo is adding another weapon to Splatoon 2. This time around it’s the Sploosh-o-matic, which was one of the last weapons to be made available in the first game back in June 2015. It’s a fast-firing weapon but not very accurate. In…
When the Nintendo Switch Online app was functional for the whole world with Splatoon 2’s release, the Lifetime Inkage page displayed some interesting text: “Compare your lifetime turf inkage to the size of famous landmarks! Ink enough, and you might be rewarded!” It looks like Nintendo is finally following through…

We all know winning at Splatoon 2 may require good reflexes and coordinated teamwork — and the right outfit and weapon are just as important. Gear makes the squid, with abilities giving you tweaks and edges to set you apart from the other urchins out there vying for chromatic superiority….
Update: Thanks to a tweet from Nintendo of America, we now know the stage will be called Shifty Station here, and it will be able to change between Splatfests. This should give some variety to the competitions! The new tweet is included below, followed by the original article. A new…
A tweet from the Japanese Splatoon 2 profile has shown off how you’ll be able to keep tabs on your friends during Splatfests. Trying to put a squad together to represent your condiment choice? You can scope out who’s a ketchup comrade or a (misguided) mayo miscreant via the Nintendo…
The original Splatoon made waves upon its initial release back in 2015, proving a fresh take on a genre typically plagued by uninspired tropes, muted color palettes and muscular Michaels. A quirky competitive shooter where fashion-savvy squid kids quite literally paint the town red, the game quickly super jumped to…
Even though the game is just a week old, Nintendo is already going all-out with the free updates for Splatoon 2, with the day after launch seeing the return of the Ink Brush from the first game. Tomorrow we’ll be seeing yet another classic weapon make a come back, but…
To coincide with the recent, unannounced server maintenance for Splatoon 2, a new update for the game is now available for download, bringing the game’s version to 1.1.2. No patch notes are available quite yet, though Pearl and Marina will make a note of “updated game data to improve your…
