Splatoon 2 is an updated version of Splatoon , which first launched for the Wii U in 2015. The Wii U included a touch screen with a stylus and encouraged players to share drawings via a now-defunct online service called Miiverse.

The Apple Watch should have enough charge to last you a full day with moderate-to-heavy use. If you don’t use it a ton, you might even get more than a day out of it! But what do you do when your Watch battery just doesn’t last long enough? Here are some tips for making your Apple wearable last longer. Disable Always-On Display (Series 5 and Later) The Apple Watch Series 5 and later (except the SE) boasts an always-on display. This means there’s no need to flick your wrist or tap the screen to see the time.
