New Bloodstained character revealed
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 4 Comments
New information about Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was revealed during Microsoft’s Gamescom 2015 media briefing. Creator Koji Igarashi took to the stage to provide a first look at a new character.
At the moment, the new character (pictured above) does not have a name. We know that he’s a demon hunter, and he fought the demons that first come to Earth during an attack that occurred ten years before the game begins. Igarashi confirmed that he’s a dual-sword wielding hero. Additionally, the character uses Japanese ofuda spells to fight enemies.

Ika Musume (Squid Girl) costume to be added to Splatoon in Japan with this week’s update
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 10 Comments
Update: We now have a first look at the costume. See this post.
Back in June, it was revealed that Splatoon would be getting a costume based on the Ika Musume (Squid Girl) manga. It’s finally been confirmed that the new outfit will be added in Japan following this week’s big update.
According to leaks from the latest issue of Famitsu, there are three components to the Ika Musume costume in Splatoon: hood, dress/sleeveless, and shoes. It sounds like there will be a male equivalent as well.
It’s still unknown if Nintendo will be adding the Ika Musume costume here in the west. We should be finding out pretty soon at least!

Splatoon: Arowana Mall being changed not just in Splat Zones, but all game modes
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Wii U | 6 Comments
Splatoon’s big update is coming soon, and one of the changes listed in the patch notes was that “certain stage elements” in Arowana Mall are being adjusted in Splat Zones. However, the Japanese Splatoon Twitter account clarified today that the stage is being changed in all game modes, not just Splat Zones.
What do you think Nintendo will change? What part of Arowana Mall needs improvements?

Square Enix reiterates that Dragon Quest XI is only being “considered” for NX
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 17 Comments
Last week, Square Enix announced the latest installment in the Dragon Quest franchise. The fact that the game is being released for PS4 and 3DS simultaneously was already a big enough surprise, but no one expected that Dragon Quest XI (and Dragon Quest X) would be announced for Nintendo’s NX as well. In a press release issued after the announcement, however, the wording changed from a “planned” NX release to a “considered” NX release.
Kotaku reached out to Square Enix for clarification and got the following response:
“Our press release contained the official statement that had been originally planned, and there is no reason to believe any changes were made mid-way to the content of the official announcement. The comment made during the event was not based on the official statement, so please allow us to correct our statement at this moment. We regret any confusion this may have caused.”
Looks like we’ll likely have to wait until an official announcement from Nintendo before we hear anything new about the NX versions of Dragon Quest X and XI.
