New ways to get snap-happy with amiibo

After downloading the software update, you and your amiibo (sold separately) can pose for in-game photos at pre-set locations in battle stages. You can even pose with your favourite weapons and slap a fun filter on your best snaps. The interns at the lab are a bit obsessed with this stuff…

More convenient ways to swap gear

Players who want to change gear between battles in Regular Battle, Ranked Battle and Splatfest Battle (Solo) won’t have to exit to the lobby anymore! After downloading the update, gear can be swapped out without leaving the match room, making it quicker to get back to splatting. For Regular Battle, this also means you can play the next battle with the same players.

The level cap has been raised

Currently, Inklings can max out at level 50. After downloading the update, the new max level will be raised to 99. If you talk to Judd when you reach Level 99, you’ll have the option to reset and have your level display as Level ★1 so you can continue raising your level.

We’ve covered quite a lot already, and it looks like we’re not done just yet! A second free software update, which will include a new Ranked Battle mode is also coming in mid-December.
