Some Local Play details have trickled in through the SplatoonJP Twitter account, and while they don’t deny single Switch Splatoon 2 Local Play being a possibility, they don’t exactly confirm it.
If you’re wondering whether Local Play will be easy or painful in Splatoon 2, fret no more. The SplatoonJP Twitter has revealed where to assemble for Local Play. As for whether it will be easy or hard to setup? Well – a little from A and a little from B. The below screenshot doesn’t make any reference to true Local play, rather, a lot of references to “searching for people nearby” – why would you need to search if they’re next to you?
This latest Tweet doesn’t explicitly rule out Local Multiplayer on one Nintendo Switch, but it heavily implies you’ll need more than one Switch to properly enjoy it. Let’s not jump to panic stations just yet, as it’s still early days – we should have more information at launch – which is right around the corner.
ハイカラスクエアにある遊戯施設「イカッチャ」は、近くの人とローカル通信を楽しむためのロビーとなる場所だ。
「プライベートマッチ」と「サーモンラン」を遊ぶことができるぞ。
友達同士でNintendo Switchを持ち寄って、ワイワイガヤガヤ楽しもう。
