Splatoon 2’s Next Weapon Is The Undercover Brella. December 29, 2017 . 11:00am

The Undercover Brella, with its Ink Mines and Splashdown, is heading to Splatoon 2.

11 comments Read >

Nintendo has announced Splatoon 2’s next weapon. It is a third Brella variation. The Undercover Brella will be added to the game at 6pm PT/8pm CT/9pm ET on December 29, 2017 and 2am GMT/11am JST on December 30, 2017.

The Undercover Brella is the third Brella weapon in the game. It is a bit more subtle, in terms of appearance, than the Splat Brella or Tenta Brella. (I think it looks like something The Penguin would have used in Batman Returns.) Its sub weapon is the Ink Mine and special weapon is Splashdown.
​

Splatoon 2 is available for the Nintendo Switch.

  • Fixed an issue in Tower Control matches causing players caught between a stage terrain feature and the metal grating portion of the tower’s platform to be pushed inside the stage feature.
  • Fixed an issue in Rainmaker matches causing the explosion animation from the Rainmaker’s shots to appear after the actual explosion when its shots hit a Splash Wall or expanded Brella.

  • Fixed an issue in Piranha Pit allowing players to make their way deep into enemy turf by using slightly sloped surfaces and the corner of certain stage features.

Nintendo has announced more information about the teams participating in its two competitive game tournaments at E3 2018—the Splatoon 2 World Championship and the Super Smash Bros. Invitational 2018.



The tournaments will run from June 11 to 12 at the Belasco Theater at 1050 S. Hill St. in Los Angeles.
Here the details, via Nintendo:

At 12:30 p.m. on Monday, June 11, fans can start lining up at the theater for a chance to receive a wristband that will grant them access to watch the opening rounds of the Splatoon 2 World Championship. Space within the venue is limited and fewer than 500 attendees will be admitted into the event.



Wristbands will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. The doors are scheduled to open at 2:30 p.m., followed by the opening rounds starting at 3:30 p.m. Those who are not able to watch the competition in person can still catch all the action on the livestream at E3.Nintendo.com.


All the action will be called by sportscaster and Nintendo World Championships commentator Jordan Kent, senior editor at CNET Ashley Esqueda and Splatoon 2 U.S. / Canada Inkling Open 2018 announcer Nine. Splatoon 2 teams from around the world have bested their rivals to compete in Los Angeles:

• Representing Japan is GG BoyZ: Despite coming to E3 2017 as the clear favorites to win, Japan was upset by U.S. team Deadbeat. Dynamon returns to E3 2018 with this new team after winning out over 800 teams in Japan and is looking to bring the trophy home.
• Representing Australia/NZ is Yeah Nah: Arriving as the undefeated champions of the 2018 AUNZ Splatoon 2 Cup, this new team includes 2017 Splatoon 2 World Inkling Invitational participant Latias, who returns to E3 2018 with the goal of scoring key upsets.
• Representing U.S. / Canada is SetToDestroyX: After defeating Japan in the 2017 Splatoon 2 World Inkling Invitational, key members of the U.S. team Deadbeat became SetToDestroyX and continued their dominance by winning tournament after tournament. They return to E3 2018 ready to defend their title after winning out over 500 teams from across the U.S. and Canada.
• Representing Europe is BackSquids: The winners of the Splatoon European Championship in Montreux, Switzerland, this German team brings a fresh name and team spirit aplenty to E3 as they try to take on the rest of the world.

At 10 a.m. on Tuesday, June 12, fans can line up to receive a badge for the Splatoon 2 World Championships finals and Super Smash Bros. Invitational 2018. Space within the venue is limited and fewer than 500 attendees will be admitted into the event. Badges will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. Doors are scheduled to open at 12 p.m., with competition starting at 1 p.m.


Each of the competitors in the Super Smash Bros. Invitational 2018 tournament will be playing the upcoming Super Smash Bros. game for the Nintendo Switch system for the first time at this event. All the Super Smash Bros. action will be called by announcers Jordan Kent, VikkiKitty, Vish and TKbreezy.


“These competitions feature some of the top players from around the world, and they always put on an amazing show,” said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Each day of the event will feature fun giveaways, and fans are encouraged to dress up and show their Nintendo spirit. Be sure to get there early on both days.”

The competitions are open to everyone to attend and watch, but space will be limited. All attendees are expected to follow the attendee policy at E3.Nintendo.com.



Attendees who are My Nintendo members can check in with their My Nintendo QR Code to receive a gift item, while supplies last. Gift items will be different for each day: The June 11 gift is a Splatoon 2 World Championship Pop Socket, and the June 12 gift is a set of three pins (featuring the Nintendo Switch logo, the My Nintendo logo and a special mystery pin). Giveaway items are limited to one per My Nintendo member per day. Learn more here.

Splatoon 2 Fixes Its Bubble Blower Issues. July 27, 2018 . 10:00am

Splatoon 2’s latest patch fixes competitive play issues where the Bubble Blower special was a little too good at protecting against damage.

2 comments Read >

Those playing Splatoon 2 may have noticed an issue with the Bubble Blower special weapon. Namely, some bombs would deal no damage even if they hit a bubble, while bubbles ended up being an unintentionally good way of stopping the Rainmaker’s attack from doing the level of damage it was supposed to. Well, the game has been updated to version 3.2.1, which remedies both of those issues.

While the Bubble Blowers are the main issue being fixed, some other Splatoon 2 problems are being remedied. Tenta Missiles can impact a Rainmaker barrier position. Also, Salmon Run stages will no longer hit a Golden Egg limit if tons of Snatchers are around.

Here are the full Splatoon 2 3.2.1 patch notes from Nintendo.

• Changes to Competitive Play
  • Fixed an issue where bombs thrown from some types of Bomb Launchers would not cause damage when they directly hit a bubble from a Bubble Blower.
  • Fixed an issue where a Rainmaker shot that hits a bubble from a Bubble Blower would only do some of the intended damage.
  • Fixed an issue where Tenta Missiles fired while locked on to a Rainmaker barrier would not impact the position of the Rainmaker barrier.
• Changes to Salmon Run
  • Fixed an issue where, when a lot of Snatchers are present, the max number of Golden Eggs on the stage goes down and new Golden Eggs do not appear.
  • Downloading this update data will make it so that you cannot communicate with players using previous update data when in The Shoal.

Splatoon 2 is available for the Nintendo Switch.
