Splatoon usually adds new weapons on Fridays, but that’s different this time around. The Luna Blaster Neo and H-3 Nozzlenose D have both been added to the game and can be used now.

Here’s an overview of the former:

Tonight you can get your hands on the Luna Blaster Neo. This blaster comes with Splat Bombs so we got you a blaster pro-tip: use the Splat Bombs to force your foes closer so that you can hit ‘em with your Luna Blaster Neo.

And an overview of the latter:

Love your H-3 Nozzlenose but wish that it had a sweet whale sticker on it? Look no further than the H-3 Nozzlenose D! It comes with a Point Sensor and Inkzooka and also we’re pretty sure that the D stands for “Dang! That’s a cool whale sticker!”

Wii U hardware sales are now at 10.73 million units. What does that mean? Well, the console has now surpassed the SEGA Dreamcast, which sold 10.6 million units.

It’s true that it did take Nintendo quite a bit longer to reach its sales total. The Dreamcast hit its mark within 18 months whereas it’s taken Wii U just under three years.
