Mostly to shore up the campaign

ASplatoon 3day one patch is confirmed by Nintendo,as detailed on their Japanese support site. The good news? It’s small!

Walking through the patch, it mostly impacts some last-minute campaign changes, also referred to as “hero mode.” You can alter Cap’n Cuttlefish’s appearance in-game, and utilize a photo mode “in some places” in the story. The patch also enables online play for folks to get the game ready for launch on September 9 worldwide.

Simple stuff! Thankfully it’s not a massive patch that fixes crucial issues. I was able to play through the entire campaign, as well as a number of turf war, ranked, salmon run, and Tableturf Battle (the new card game) without any big problems. Ideally, this patch doesn’t add any!
