An art book based on Splatoon was recently made available in Japan. Through one of the images, we’re able to see what looks like urinal warp zones. It seems that, at one point, the developers thought about letting players transform into squids and use urinals/sinks to warp to different areas on the map.

Natsume won’t be bringing any additional titles to the North American Wii U Virtual Console this year. Instead, we’ll need to wait until 2016 for any additional titles. That means we won’t be seeing the likes of Medabots: Rokusho/Metabee and the two Medabots AX games until a couple of months from now at the very least.

Interacting with fans on Twitter, Natsume said:

Medabots: Rokusho and Metabee have been available in Europe since October. The Medabots AX games are due out in the region this Thursday.

Nintendo showed off three of Yo-kai Watch’s playable characters a few days ago. The final game, which is slated for Friday in North America, will have over 200 in total.

Since Yo-kai Watch is just three days away from debuting overseas, Nintendo is highlighting another pair of character from the 3DS title. First, here’s a look at Shmoopie:

“Awwwww. Shmoopie can overcome you with the power of cuteness. This Yo-kai is cute enough to melt anyone’s heart — and boy does he know it! Shmoopie can be quite the schemer, so look out!”

And Snotsolong:

“Getting the winter season sniffles? It might be because of Snotsolong. Snotsolong gives you a runny nose that never stops. A crane Yo-kai with an insanely runny nose, Snotsolong’s snot is so heavy he can’t even fly! He likes to share his miserable cold with everyone.”

Five new expansion packs have launched for LEGO Dimensions. These are based on Doctor Who, LEGO Ninjago, The Simpsons and The LEGO Movie.

The different packs offer an extra level, buildable characters, vehicles, and gadgets with special in-game abilities. All expansion pack characters can also unlock the corresponding Adventure World of the same brand.

That’s not all for LEGO Dimensions, as a new “Hire-a-Hero” feature update has gone live. This lets players sample a selection of Wave 1 expansion pack characters using studs collected in the game. To take advantage of the functionality, they can select the hologram minifigure near certain hint stones to unlock characters for a limited time to try out their special abilities to solve problems and complete puzzles. More characters from subsequent waves of expansion packs will be added down the line.

Check out some Doctor Who gameplay below. You can also find an overview of the new packs after the break.
