Facts About Multiregioning Splatoon 2
1) The easiest way to do it is to import the physical carts. At that point, it's just plug-and-play, and each version will use its own save file. Easy peasy.
2) However, if you need your copies of the game sooner (say, there's a Splatfest coming within a week that you really want to be a part of), this is where you will need to make regional placeholder accounts in order to use the regional eShops:
- a) To make a regional account, it MUST be attached to a different email address than the one you use with your main account. Luckily, there are many common free email services (Google, Yahoo, AOL, etc) you can use. Be sure to label the home region either 'United States', 'Japan', or a Euro-currency EU member country (NOT the UK!! I used Ireland, for example) depending on which version that account will be purchassing. You need one new account for each different region you plan to purchase.
- b) Change your Switch's home region to the region whose eShop you are about to use. Agree to the EULA and Restart. This change will be temporary just to buy the game.
- c) Unless your PayPal or credit cards are clear to use internationally (most are not), you will need to purchase game time cards in each region. These are usually readily available (and instantly via email) at sites like Play-Asia. Be sure your game cards match the region you specify in the placeholder account, and when you get the code, add it to that account's funds.
- d) Browse the eShop, find Splatoon 2, and buy it with your account funds. Let it download and install.
- e) After installation, put your Switch back to your actual home region, agree to the EULA again, and restart.
- f) The upside now is, if you want to import other games via eShop, you already have the account defined!
3) Once a version of the game is on your Switch, you can play it with your regular Nintendo account.2
4) Yes, you MUST have a particular region's copy of the game to play its Splatfests, as the code for those Splatfests will (unless its a multiregion Splatfest) only be available on its region's copy.
5) Since each region's copy has its own save file, you will have to start back at Level 1 for each new region you buy. If you can't accept this fact, do NOT multiregion the game.
6) SplatNet 2 will function normally, but will always display, and be attached to, the region you most recently logged into.
7) In normal Turf War, Ranked, and Team modes, you will still be matched with those closest to you regardless of the version you play. The matching servers are region-agnostic.
8) During Splatfest, if you are a considerable distance from the Splatfest's home region, it may take a long time to get matches, as ping times will be high. People in Hawaii, for example, even have this problem with their own Splatfests (as most players for them are in either the North American mainland or Oceania, both a considerable distance away from them). Finding a squad to splat with is recommended in those cases, as teams match faster in general due to being premade. It's not that you can't match normally, but expect to be in for the long haul to make King or Queen. (For example, my run to Queen with Team Lemon took almost 15 hours!) Strangely enough, European Splatfests don't seem to have this issue as often (I tend to match with them almost as easily as I do my home region for some reason).
9) Unlike the North American and Euro versions, the Japanese version has no support for any language other than Japanese. However, if you know the menu system well enough, this isn't an issue, as everything is still in the same places.
10) If you have any other questions, ask me on my talk page. :)
