A number of other titles are in the pipeline, including Blade Strangers and Code of Princess EX.

When the Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion drops, players will be able to play as Octolings in a couple of different ways. Aside from the new single-player campaign, they’ll also be available in multiplayer battles.

Octo Expansion won’t be arriving until this summer. However, thanks to some hacking, they’ve been added in early. Though not entirely complete, a pair of videos show both the male and female versions of the Octolings. You can find both below.

ARMS graphic novel

Last October, Dark Horse announced a partnership with Nintendo to produce graphic novels based on ARMS. At the time, it was originally set to debut sometime this fall. Those plans have since been delayed.

Fans were able to pick up the special short story for ARMS as part of Free Comic Book Day yesterday. It advertises the first true graphic novel, which is now apparently due in January 2019. It’s unclear what caused the delay, but hopefully the wait will be worth it.

Fire Emblem Warriors - Awakening DLC Pack

In this month’s issue of Nintendo Dream, the Japanese magazine posted its final interview with a couple of the Fire Emblem Warriors developers. Director Hiroya Usuda and producer Yosuke Hayashi stopped by to primarily discuss the Awakening DLC Pack. They also weighed in on the end of DLC, why Darios isn’t playable, and showed some interest in making a sequel.

Find some excerpts from the interview below plus some concept art. You can read the full discussion here.

Gal*Gun 2

Gal*Gun 2 recently launched in North America. Very quickly, buyers of the physical version noticed a strange misprint. We’re still not quite sure how it happened, but artwork for Natsume’s Wild Guns Reloaded was included inside the case. PQube is only stating that it was a “printer’s error”.

If you were one of the people affected, you can order a replacement cover. PQube has created a form for consumers to fill out here. Once submitted, you’ll be sent a new cover for free.
