Another two weapons are now live in Splatoon. Nintendo has given players access to the Custom Dual Squelcher as well as the Carbon Roller.

Here’s an overview of both weapons from Nintendo:

Custom Dual Squelcher

It’s got range, rapid fire, and Squid Beakons to give your squid buds a place to Super Jump to. And with the Killer Wail special you can zone your enemies for days!

Carbon Roller

This lightweight roller excels in the mobility department. It’s fling attack doesn’t toss a ton of ink, but it’s coupled with Burst Bombs for ranged splattage. Throw an Inkzooka in the mix and it’s on like Crusty Sean!

Earlier today, we posted a video from V-Jump that showcased new footage from the 3DS version of Dragon Quest VIII. Siliconera has now translated some of the information that was shared. Read on below for new details about Morrie and Red along with a few other tidbits.

– Morrie’s job class would be something like an evolved mix of the Martial Artist and Minstrel in Dragon Quest IX
– Red is considered an advanced class version of the Thief
– Morrie can use different healing and support spells
– Also has a special ability with his name in it, but it’s still a secret
– Red can heal as well and has some status effect spells
– Stereoscopic 3D works while looking at the characters in the menu
– Morrie can use claws, boomerangs, and blunt weapons
– Red uses fans, whips, and short swords
– Morrie has a funny way of walking
– He can use the “Tiger Claw” weapon, which was seen in Dragon Quest X
– In the original Dragon Quest VIII, you always had to spend all of your skill points obtained after leveling up, but this time you’ll get to save them for when you’d like to use it next time
– Normal and fast battle speed options
– Fast option increases the battle speed by x1.5

Update: I’m not too sure that this is really an indication of anything, but the game has apparently been pulled from the “future releases” section of the Wii U eShop. Make of that what you will!

Devil’s Third was recently dated for August in both Japan and Europe. In North America, however, Nintendo has been keeping quiet. That continued into E3 2015, where Nintendo of America’s senior director of corporate communications Charlie Scibetta had nothing to say about it.

When asked about the status of Devil’s Third last week, Scibetta only noted: “I don’t have anything for you on Devil’s Third. Sorry.”

No one seems to have a clear idea about what’s going on with Devil’s Third in North America. Let’s just hope that we hear something soon.
