News / Splatfest: SpringFest is now over

It's been 48 hours since the #SpringFest #Splatfest started, which means that it is now over. Expect results to come out at around 3am BST as usual, we'll report on them in the morning.

Make sure to use your Conch Shells now before it's too late. (This is definitely the Splatfest I've played the least, not gonna lie, but at least I played it I guess.)

News / Nintendo Switch 2: Pre-orders now potentially delayed in US

Nintendo has announced that they're delaying pre-orders for the #NintendoSwitch2 console in the United States, which were originally due to start on April 9th, after tariffs were imposed on various countries on Wednesday. The delay is to assess the situation with the tariffs.

News / Nintendo Switch 2: Pricing information has been revealed for Switch 2

Didn't have enough space to reveal this in my previous post, sorry.

The Switch 2 officially releases worldwide on June 5th 2025. For the console without Mario Kart World bundled in, it will cost US$449.99 / €469.99 / £395.99 / ¥49980 (restricted Japan only model¹) / ¥69980 (unrestricted model¹).

We don't have enough evidence of this yet, but it looks like games will have a price increase by roughly £15-25 on Switch 2 (for context, most Switch games² cost around £50). It also looks like prices will be slightly discounted if you buy it digitally.

Referring to Mario Kart World since it's probably a full priced game, it costs £74.99 for physical and £66.99 for digital. For Donkey Kong Bananza, it costs £66.99 for physical and £58.99 for digital.

Pre-orders open at different times depending on region. For the UK, it'll be open on the 8th of April on an invite only basis for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers who have held a subscription for 2 years or more, has spent a certain amount of time playing Switch games, shares usage data with Nintendo and receives promotional emails from Nintendo. See more information at store.nintendo.co.uk/en/ninten.

¹ Likely due to the weak Yen, there's two different models of Switch 2 in Japan. The restricted Japan only model (~£260 / ¥49980) will only allow Japanese Nintendo Accounts and will only support the Japanese language to prevent resellers. The unrestricted model (~£360 / ¥69880) will allow all region Nintendo Accounts and will support all languages.

² Only major exceptions are Smash Ultimate, Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild afaik which are priced at £60 instead.

News / Nintendo Switch 2: More details have been released about the Switch 2!

Nintendo has shared more information about the capabilities and improvements that the Switch 2 offers in today's Direct. These include:

  • 1080p120 HDR screen (from the 720p60 SDR screen on original Switch)
  • Up to 2160p60 docked output (1080p60 on original Switch)
  • 256GB internal storage (up from 32GB)
  • microSD Express support ONLY
  • Built in microphone and support for external USB cameras
  • Two USB-C ports

We've also gotten news about new features that will allow you to make the best of Switch 2. These are GameChat and GameShare.

The former will allow you to chat with your friends using the built in microphone, as well as an external camera if you'd like, whilst playing games. You can play the same games as each other or something completely different: the choice is yours. This is available for all games when playing on Switch 2.

GameShare is a modern successor to the Download Play function that appeared on the Nintendo DS and 3DS, which will allow you to stream your screen to multiple Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 devices nearby using similar technology as the Wii U. You can stream up to different 3 consoles locally and depending on the game, you'll either get the same thing on each screen or it might be slightly different. This is available for a limited number of games from both the Switch and Switch 2 libraries, the casting device needs to be a Switch 2 unfortunately.

For more information, please watch today's Direct: youtube.com/live/1uGRs-ispRU.

In addition to this, several games will receive enhanced Switch 2 versions. However, you'll need to buy an upgrade pack from the eShop or a physical store to enjoy this.

Before I go, there was no updates regarding the Splatoon or Animal Crossing series on the Switch 2. However, Splatoon 3 and ACNH will be compatible by the looks of it.

News / Nintendo Direct: Share virtual game cards with friends from April

Like the previous announcement, I'm not putting this in spoilers since I don't consider it to be that big of a spoiler.

At today's #NintendoDirect, Nintendo announced a new feature that's coming to the Nintendo Switch at the end of April (it'll also come to the Switch 2 at some stage) which will allow you to share your digital games more easily with friends. You'll be able to lend out your digital games for up to 14 days with either another Switch nearby using local wireless or other Switch consoles linked to your Nintendo Account family group.

See the full announcement at youtu.be/gcAgJEo98fE.

News / Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Today releases later today

Hope you all don't mind me posting this without spoilers, but I don't consider it to be that big of a spoiler.

Event schedule details for Nintendo Today app Phone with a calendar is displayed with events for the Fishing Tourney in Animal Crossing, Splatfests in Splatoon 3 and Nintendo Direct news. Example times are displayed (fairly sure these are in JST but the Animal Crossing one doesn't make much sense for JST).
