The Nintendo Switch 2 has officially been unveiled. Nintendo confirmed it comes with 256GB of internal storage, which is eight times more than the original Switch. But here’s the thing: games have never been bigger. AAA titles like Cyberpunk 2077 clock in at a massive 64 gigs. If you’re anything…
No sooner did Nintendo confirm that the Switch 2 utilizies DLSS and will support ray-tracing that Nvidia has now given us a breakdown of the CPU and GPU the console will contain. While there aren’t raw numbers to compare against Nintendo’s rivals, we do know that not only are DLSS…
During yesterday’s Switch 2 Direct, Nintendo spent a surprisingly decent chunk of time describing GameChat, a new system feature that is basically like all of the social features Microsoft introduced to the Xbox 360 20 years ago. It’s charming how old-school Nintendo can be sometimes, but one thing that wasn’t…

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,…
Nintendo’s ink-filled sequel Splatoon 2 is launching for the Nintendo Switch in just over two weeks! To get every kid and/or squid hyped up for launch, a new Nintendo Direct will be streamed very soon. The start time is 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET. UPDATES: 9:00 AM CST:…
A few weeks ago it was confirmed that the Switch’s Namco Museum would be getting another addition – Pac-Man Vs. Originally released for the GameCube and later ported to the DS and Japanese mobile phones, the game is set up so one player controls the eponymous yellow fellow while up…
