Super
Mario Maker 2 Invitational 2019
AbdallahSmash026 defeated The Completionist
by navigating imaginative courses created by the Nintendo Treehouse staff. The
final match came down to the wire, as both players had to figure out how to
drop 14 icicles on Bowser’s head to defeat him. Game Producer Takashi Tezuka
presented AbdallahSmash026 with his trophy. The courses played during the Super
Mario Maker 2 Invitational 2019 will also be made available sometime after the
game launches nationwide exclusively for Nintendo Switch on June 28.

Splatoon
2 World Championship 2019
In the Splatoon 2 World Championship 2019, GG BOYZ representing Japan defended
their title from 2018 by out-splatting teams from the United States, Europe and
Australia/New Zealand. GG BOYZ, composed of Dynamon, Taiji, Etona and
Yamamicchi, swept FTWin of the United States 4-0 in the best-of-seven finals. GG
BOYZ laid their claim to the championship trophy and will have their names
etched onto the coveted Sterling Squid commemorating their victory.
After the Splatoon 2 World Championship 2019 champs emerged, Nintendo
announced that the final Splatoon 2
Splatfest, nicknamed “Splatocalypse,” will begin at 5 a.m. PT on July 18. The
event, timed to coincide with the game’s second anniversary, will run for 72
hours, and asks players: “Which world would you choose?” Chaos or Order? In addition, a new Shifty Station stage will be added for this final
Splatfest, and all 23 of the previous Splatfest-specific stages will reappear too.
The 23 previous stages will surface in a constantly...shifting rotation for the
first 48 hours, with the new stage making its debut for the final 24-hour
period. Special in-game gear will also be distributed in honor of this Splatfest
via players’ Nintendo Switch news feed.
Nintendo also announced that sometime after
the Splatocalypse is over in late July, an update for the Splatoon 2 game will add Turf War (Splatfest) to the modes players with
a Nintendo Switch Online membership can select in Private Battle. With this new
mode, players will get to enjoy Turf War on 24 stages at nighttime, including
the newest Shifty Station playable in the final Splatfest.
