The updates that are bringing Splatoon 1 and #MarioKart8 back online are now out!

Splatoon US patch notesMario Kart 8 US patch notes

The respective updated version numbers for both games are 2.12.1 for Splatoon and 4.2.0 for Mario Kart 8.

The changes listed for Splatoon 1 are:

  • Fixed vulnerability related to online battles

And Mario Kart 8 has an additional change:

  • Deleted “Recommended” in tournaments

I find this incredibly disappointing considering both games have a hacking issue to the best of my knowledge (@SMAyden has a ton of clips of Splatoon 1 hackers) and there is NO excuse for spending 5 months on this if they haven’t made it harder for people to exploit both games.

    This is so cool. I’ve bought a WII U for my son last christmas and splatoon was not working. Now he can play it online for the first time. He is so happy and I’m happy too.

      @MrFloppy hope your son enjoys it!

      I got my Wii U back in late 2014 and got Splatoon a couple of months after release in 2015, and it’s pretty fun to play online (connection is really smooth now, just wish it didn’t take so long at times to find people online).

      I don’t think I’d play Splatoon tbh if there wasn’t online content.
