A Big Run is taking place now! Protect Wahoo World from the Salmonids!

Participants will receive a Cohozuna statue as a reward.

It looks like the new color for Team Grass isn’t being used due to a bug.
Current speculation is that this might be caused by the game prioritizing a copy of the (old) Splatfest colors that was mistakenly added in the 1.2.0 update. This isn’t confirmed, though. twitter.com/OatmealDome/st…

[Splatoon 3]
Wave 1 of the Expansion Pass, Inkopolis, will be released at the same time as the version 3.0.0 update (Feb 28 at 1 am UTC).
Note: Because of DRM check weirdness, it might not unlock immediately or unlock at a different time in your region.
(thanks @InternalLoss)
205
[Nintendo eShop]
It is no longer possible to redeem download codes on the Wii U and 3DS.
(This may only affect some regions at the moment. The 3DS I tested on is from North America.)
Purchasing software is scheduled to be disabled on Mar 28 at 12 am UTC (~4 hours).

The Luna Blaster Neo will be added in Chill Season 2022. The sub weapon is the Fizzy Bomb, and the special weapon is the Ultra Stamp. twitter.com/SplatoonJP/sta…

Here’s some details about the unrevealed Salmon Run gamemode “Underground”, courtesy of @LeanYoshi.
It’s basically a harder version of normal Salmon Run.
(Also, this might be obvious, but when Lean says “Power Egg” below, they really mean “Golden Egg”.) twitter.com/LeanYoshi/stat…
208
[Splatoon 2 / ARMS / Super Mario Maker 2 / Animal Crossing: New Horizons]
All these games just got updates with the equivalent of “stability” in the patch notes.
This is probably a patch to fix a major security bug in a common code component.
I’ll post info when available.

So, @NintendoES posted a promotional trailer for the Expansion Pass listing Wave 2 (Side Order)'s release date as 2024.
Everyone is looking way too much into this and freaking out unnecessarily.
I don't think we should consider 2024 as 100% confirmed. twitter.com/heyheymasa/sta…

Nintendo is using NPLN, a new in-house server system, for Splatoon 3.
Many of the new Lobby features take advantage of NPLN. They would be more difficult or impossible to add with the old system, NEX.
Note that in-game netcode is likely still peer-to-peer (pia). twitter.com/thomasnet_mc/s…

[Splatoon 3]
SplatNet 3 has received an update.
You are now able to see past records of all the Big Runs that you participated in.
(Tap the “Work” button on the main menu.)
213
[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury]
The game has leaked onto the Internet.
- Uses NEX, not NPLN.
- The final build was made on Nov 25th 2020.
- Bowser’s Fury is codenamed “Ocean”.
- Port made in collaboration with Nintendo Software Technology (N’s US studio) and 1-Up Studio

Reminder: a balance patch will likely release sometime soon.
In the 2.0.0 patch notes, Nintendo said that the next update is planned for the middle of Chill Season 2022.
(The exact midpoint is Jan 14, but Saturdays are not business days for Nintendo.)

There are 8 unused eyebrow icons (one for each species / style combination) that are meant for use on the player customization screen.
This could be cut content, or it could indicate that more eyebrows will be added at a later date.
