2. Splatoon 2 Updates (Switch)
Splatoon 2 follows in the footsteps of its predecessor by offering players ongoing, free content updates. In a landscape where loot boxes and paid content updates have wormed their way into shooters, Splatoon 2 is a refreshing game to own.
Since the game’s release Nintendo has released multiple battle stages, more salmon run content, over 100 new pieces of gear, new music, weapons, hairstyles, and raised the level cap. There’s a steady flow of decent content that keeps Splatoon 2 relevant and easy to return to after a break. The handling of Splatoon 2 represents the culmination of Nintendo’s very slow transition into the era of supporting ongoing games. Though parts of Splatoon 2’s handling is archaic, the substantial content updates show Nintendo’s good faith effort of coming into the modern era of online games and that’s nothing to scoff at for the 128-year-old games juggernaut.
