Near the bottom of Walmart’s landing page for Nintendo products, an advertisement for Switch Online + Expansion Pack listed a plethora of games available to subscribers of the…
It’s really stunning that Splatoon 3 is still receiving gameplay balance updates into 2026 despite being four years old. We already saw a rather significant update for Switch 2 players, and now with version 11.0.0, Nintendo is adding some quality-of-life tweaks to make matches feel better. The biggest of these…
