Splatoon now gives more bonus points for Regular Battle victories, Super Sea Snails for 30 wins
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
Splatoon’s final Splatfest drew to a close yesterday. Even though the dust has settled on the last major event, Nintendo ended up making two notable changes to the game.
First, players are now given more bonus points for winning a Regular Battle, earning 1000 points per win (compared to the previous 300). We’re also hearing that by coming out on top in 30 matches, you can acquire a Sea Snail. Judd will keep track of how many battles you win. Talking to him is how you’ll obtain Super Sea Snails.

Aonuma: Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s E3 2014 trailer “became the basis for the whole game”
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 31 Comments
Nintendo gave us a first look at The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild during E3 2014 with a trailer. At that time though, the project hadn’t been completely shaped yet.
Series producer Eiji Aonuma reconfirmed to EDGE this month that the video was running in real time and in-engine. However, the scene shown was made especially for the trailer. When we saw Link shooting arrows at the Guardian on his horse, jumping off, and firing off one last arrow in mid-air at the enemy in slow motion, you couldn’t actually do that.
