Splatoon 2’s Latest Update

Changes to Multiplayer 

Fixed an issue in Clam Blitz mode where overtime would mistakenly end too soon when the barrier timer expired. 

This occurred when the losing team activated the barrier timer and then took the lead, and the barrier remained open until the match timer reached zero. 

Fixed an issue where hitting an opponent standing on particular stage features with direct hits from the Inkjet special occasionally caused the shots to not explode or deliver damage to the opponent. 

We have fixed an issue getting into landforms when executing super jump from specific location to specific location in Port Mackerel. 

Changes to League Battle 

Fixed an issue where immediately after a team’s Highest League Power was updated, if results could not be uploaded due to a poor network connection or other reasons, that Highest League Power was not reflected in the online ranking list until Highest League Power was updated again. 

Other Changes Fixed an issue preventing weapon test targets in certain locations from taking damage from an Ink Storm.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 update out now (version 1.1.1)

An easy mode will be added to Tiger! Tiger!  

When you press the X button, the Skip Travel screen will open the map to your current location. We hope this will make it easier to spot Skip Travel locations and Salvage Points on the map. 

An additional 1:1 zoom on the mini map will be displayed by pressing the L Stick. This will allow improved visibility of your surroundings and make it easier to check quest locations.
