The latest two weapons are now live in Splatoon. As of now, players can begin using the Bamboozler 14 Mk and L-3 Nozzlenose D.

Here’s an overview of the former weapon:

“The Bamboozler 14 Mk I is a reissue of a weapon used during the Great Turf War. It charges up extremely quickly and boasts great range even when not fully charged.

Update: Officially confirmed.

We previously heard that Nintendo will be hosting a panel for Xenoblade Chronicles X at PAX Prime 2015 tomorrow. A reminder was sent out on the company’s Twitter account today, and it seems to reveal an interesting piece of information.

The tweet states that 8-4’s Mark MacDonald will be hosting the Xenoblade Chronicles X panel. That’s important for one big reason. Based on the message, it suggests that 8-4 is involved with the RPG’s localization.

8-4 has worked on a ton of games in the past. On the Nintendo side of things, they helped bring over Fire Emblem: Awakening, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, and Fossil Fighters: Frontier.

With Disney Infinity 3.0, Disney Interactive made a conscious decision to highlight Ahsoka. That’s because, according to the company’s John Vignocchi, have of the people playing are female.

“With Disney’s IP treasure chest of powerful and strong female characters, we actually are seeing a split with Infinity that’s more 50% boys and 50% girls,” Vignocchi told The Wall Street Journal.

Disney Infinity 3.0 is out today in Europe, and North America is following behind on Sunday.
