Splatoon – Rainmaker videos, overview
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Videos, Wii U | 0 comments
A couple of videos are now available for Splatoon’s new Rainmaker mode.
First, here’s some footage from GameSpot:
And an official video from the Squid Research Lab:
Speaking of the Squid Research Lab, here’s an official overview of Rainmaker:
Introducing…. Rainmaker! In Rainmaker, both teams compete to snag the, uhhh, Rainmaker. Once you’ve got it, the goal is to carry it into the other team’s base!
How’s it work, you ask? As soon as the battle begins, grab onto that Rainmaker! It’s guarded by a shield, though, so you’ll need to bust it out first. Once you snag it, head for the other team’s base. And be quick about it!
If you run out of time or get splatted, the Rainmaker will be dropped and its shield will also reactivate. The Rainmaker is crazy heavy, so you can’t Super Jump while carrying it. Hopefully your teammates will watch your back!
But don’t think the Rainmaker is just some shiny object – it can shoot ink like an Inkzooka. You can even hold to charge the Rainmaker up for an extra-powerful shot! The closer you get to the enemy base while holding the Rainmaker, the lower your goal distance will drop. If you retreat too far while holding the Rainmaker, it’ll explode sooner! If the battle ends without anyone carrying the Rainmaker to the goal, the team with the lowest goal distance will win.

We received confirmation earlier this week that The Bridge is slated for the North American Wii U eShop on August 20. But we now know that the European release is set for the same day. The game’s official Twitter account told one fan that it will arrive on August 20 in both regions.

Xbox boss: “I don’t think there’s a first-party out there that has the strength of IP that Nintendo has”
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 40 Comments
Eurogamer recently spoke with Xbox boss Phil Spencer. When the site asked if exclusive games are needed to sell hardware and pointed out the Wii U should be selling more if that’s the case, Spencer responded:
On the Wii U, I think people downplay how many units they’ve sold. I’ve got a Wii U, I think there’s some great games on there. I think Splatoon’s a really nice game and I don’t think there’s a first-party out there that has the strength of IP that Nintendo has. They’re always a beacon to me when I look at what it means to build a first-party portfolio of products, they’ve done a great job.
This isn’t the first time Spencer has praised Nintendo. Back in January 2014, he also spoke about the company’s franchises with high regard.
