Splatoon hasn’t slowed down with its regular weapon additions. Another one has now been added to the game’s lineup: Rapid Blaster Pro Deco. You can find some footage of the weapon in our post here.


Super Mario Maker’s Captain Toad course has gone live. And the Captain Toad costume, announced earlier this week, can be obtained as well. Players can unlock it as soon as they’ve finished the new level.

Here’s an overview of the Captain Toad course:

“Search every angle in a puzzling adventure! In Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, the Toad Brigade’s lovable Captain explores a variety of miniature Mario courses. And now he’s tackling a real Mario course in search of shiny golden coins! Usually Captain Toad can’t jump with his heavy backpack – can you clear this course without jumping?”

Gameplay of Sceptile in Pokken Tournament is now available. Check out 10 minutes of footage below.

Splatoon will soon be updated with the Rapid Blaster Pro Deco. Get an early look at the weapon in the video below.

Another new weapon is being added to Splatoon. The Rapid Blaster Pro Deco is a variant of the standard Rapid Blaster Pro but with the Disruptor and Killer Wail sub and specials instead.

The weapon will be available at the usual times (morning in Japan, nighttime in Europe, evening in North America).

Nintendo has posted a new video for the Captain Toad costume in Super Mario Maker, which will be available in about a day from now. Watch it below.

Cassandra Lee Morris, the voice of Lin in Xenoblade Chronicles X’s English version, put up a video about her involvement with the RPG earlier this week. She spoke about auditioning, the controversy concerning Lin’s outfits, and more. We have the full video below.

Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai revealed an interesting tidbit about the Fighter Ballot for the Wii U and 3DS games in his Famitsu column this week. In his piece, Sakurai states that about 1.8 million votes were cast worldwide.

Nintendo announced Bayonetta as the Super Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot winner last week. She was the top choice in Europe, within the top five in the United States, and first overall when it comes to negotiable and realizable characters.

We’ll have more from Sakurai’s Famitsu column shortly.
