Second wave of Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer amiibo cards delayed in Japan
Posted on 9 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer has been a huge success in Japan, selling over 500,000 copies in its first week. Not surprisingly, the amiibo cards have been similarly successful, to the point where they have been hard to find in stores. Nintendo has now issued a statement that the second wave of Animal Crossing amiibo cards will not release on September 30th, as was originally planned. Instead, production facilities will be used to reprint the first wave of cards, with those reprints hitting store shelves at the end of August. A new release date for the second wave will be announced at a later date.
Splatoon web app launched in Japan
Posted on 9 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
Alongside the big Splatoon content update, Nintendo also launched a dedicated Splatoon web app today. Once you log in with your Nintendo Network ID, there are several functions available to you:
Friends List: See which of your friends are online and send messages to your friends inviting them to play Splatoon with you.
Ranking: View your friends’ current ranks, levels, gear and how many points they’ve scored with each weapon.
Equipment: View your own profile. Only works if you’ve updated your game to version 2.0.
Schedule: Check out the current and upcoming map rotation.
The catch, however, is that the website is only available in Japanese right now. Hopefully we’ll see translated versions of it soon.

Splatoon – Slosher, Heavy Splatling weapons out now
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Much of the focus on Splatoon tonight surrounds the big new update, but a couple of weapons have been added as well. The Slosher and Heavy Splating are both now available.
Here’s an overview of the Slosher:
This might look like an ordinary bucket, but it’s actually a weapons-grade bucket! Hurl ink straight ahead over an impressive range, and adjust your angles to hit opponents above you or behind walls. The Slosher comes with Burst Bombs and the special is a hot pastrami on rye! Er, wait. Sorry. I mean Inkstrike. Got a little excited about today’s lunch delivery.
And the Heavy Splatling:
This baby packs six barrels full of ink. Charge it up and let your enemies have it! Need some cover? Not a problem. Throw down your Splash Wall! This bad boy also comes with the Inkzooka Inkstrike (Sorry squidfriends, I am too excited to read properly) as a special weapon. It might just be the best weapon for squids that have watched too many 80?s action movies!
