Today’s Splatoon image provides a look at one of the weapons in the game. Check out the art piece above, and some information below.
We received a sketch from one of our researchers.
A giant weapon, created by the Octopus Army Corps, awaits you deep inside their underground base. It appears to use the Battery Catfish as its power source. In order to rescue the poor thing[s] from this fate, you have no choice but to take down the weapon while withstanding its powerful attacks.

A few rumors have circulated as of late that some of the amiibo figures have been discontinued. Marth, Wii Fit Trainer, and Villager are three amiibo in particular that some have been worried about.
The recent concern appears to have been for naught, as Nintendo of America’s assistant PR manager David Young says that the company hasn’t discontinued any figures. View his full response above.
Nintendo heading for best holiday in years as profits triple, Bloomberg says
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 24 Comments
In a new Bloomberg report, it’s stated that eight analysts have raised profit estimates or ratings for Nintendo since September. The two most recent ones have called for profits to triple to 36.8 billion yen.
Tomoaki Kawasaki, an analyst from Iwai Cosmo Securities Co., said:
“Nintendo has picked up good momentum heading into the Christmas season. This time they have a hit lineup. Amiibo represents a new revenue source, and we are watching it very closely.”
Ace Research analyst Hideki Yasuda also stated:
“Last year was just a bad year for the game business, and this year is a recovery. Add to that Amiibo, and you’re likely to see a considerable improvement in earnings.”
Bloomberg goes on to say that Nintendo expects to take in $1 billion from amiibo sales in the U.S. alone. This figure has come in to question and some believe that the outlet intended to refer to yen instead. In any case, things are looking up for Nintendo.
