Splatoon has been updated with yet another new weapon. As of now, players can begin using the Luna Blaster.

Nintendo has said that the Luna Blaster has poor range. While that may be so, it features a high fire rate and explosive impact.

At E3 2015 last week, GameXplain sat down with Super Mario Maker Takashi Tezuka and Yosuke Oshino for a chat about Super Mario Maker. You can watch it in full below. I’ve also attached some notes that I thought were particularly interesting.

– Was decided to make it only a single-player game early on
– Online functionality was also decided early on
– Nintendo was worried about the servers being flooded with levels and being unable to find them, so a lot of work was put in to make sure players can find the great ones admist so-so levels
– Can’t download a level, edit it, and reupload; done to avoid copycat levels
– Can only upload 1 level at a time, not full-scale Mario adventures
– Hard cap on the number of objects you can have in a level, but you probably won’t ever notice it
– Nintendo will be able to distribute courses to players
– No DLC plans for things like enemies and objects
– Once again, no Koopalings
– Different amiibo suits only change the sound effects/different animations for clearing the course
– Nintendo has more stuff to reveal for Super Mario Maker
– Tezuka’s favorite Mario game is Super Mario Bros. 3
– Oshino’s favorite Mario game is Super Mario World

Will Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water be a digital-only release in North America? That’s what some people are speculating.

Nintendo recently added Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water to its North American site. The thing is, the game page has an eShop symbol rather than a boxart or even a temporary placeholder boxart.

Does this mean that Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water will only be available digitally in North America? Only time will tell.

LEGO Jurassic World is slated for release on the European Wii U eShop next week, based on a listing found on the digital store. The game should be available on June 30.

Actually, that June 30 should apply to the physical release as well. LEGO Jurassic World came out for 3DS on June 12, but the Wii U version hasn’t made it out yet. That should finally be changing next week!

Nintendo Life reports that back in 2011, Nintendo reached out to Criterion, creators of the Burnout franchise, to work on a pitch for an F-Zero that would be shown at E3 that year, with the game itself launching in 2012 alongside the Wii U. Unfortunately, Criterion weren’t able to commit to it as they were too busy with their own series.

While this isn’t official information, Liam Robertson, known for his work with Unseen64, usually is pretty accurate in his reports.
