Splatoon 2: Dynamo Roller & Splash-o-matic return, have new sub and special weapons
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Screenshots, Switch | 0 comments
The Splatoon Twitter account has confirmed that another fan favorite weapon from the first game will return in Splatoon 2 – the Dynamo Roller. However, it now has the Ink Mine sub-weapon and the Sting Ray special.
The Ink Mine has seen a couple of modifications – you can now place two of them at the same time, and if an opponent is hit (but not splatted) by one, they are tagged as if they were hit by a Point Sensor.
Another returning weapon is the Splash-o-matic. Its sub and special weapons have also changed – it has the recently revealed poison mist sub-weapon and the Inkjet special.

Splatoon 2 introduces new sub-weapon “robot bomb”
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 2 Comments
Just like the poison mist yesterday, the Splatoon Twitter account has introduced another new sub weapon in Splatoon 2 today. The “robot bomb” is a sort of walking homing missile. You throw it, and once it lands, it’ll detect the nearest enemy in a certain radius and starts walking towards them until it explodes.
One of the weapon kits that’ll have the robot bomb sub is the “Foxy”, a roller-type weapon that seems to be quite similar in appearance to the Octobrush from the first game. It will also have the Inkjet special.
Check out the robot bomb in action, as well as look at some screenshots of it and the Foxy:

ARMS concept art shows some of its backstory
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Images, Switch | 11 Comments
As could be seen in the latest Nintendo Direct, ARMS doesn’t take itself and its lore all that seriously. Today, the official ARMS Twitter account posted the concept art you see above, which supposedly depicts the history of the mysterious extendable Arms. Apparently, the oldest known records of extendable Arms date back to about 1,500 years ago, although some experts argue that they have been around for about 4,000 years. They also weren’t limited to humans – even animals and plants were said to possess that ability.
