There has been plenty of talk and a fair amount of speculation about Splatoon possibly receiving voice chat support. Unfortunately, however, the title won’t make use of the feature at all. GameXplain has confirmed with Nintendo that Splatoon will not offer any sort of voice chat support.

Nintendo will add Ranked Battles to Splatoon following the game’s launch in May, the company has confirmed.

As for what Ranked Battles entail, they’re entirely about objective gametypes. Players will need to have obtained level 10 in online Turf Wars – which was first shown at E3 2014 – in order to participate.

According to a Nintendo representative:

“Once you reach level 10, you’ll be able to play Ranked Battles. However, we’ll be watching the global progress of how many people reach level 10 and, once that’s hit a certain threshold, we’ll turn that on for everyone to play.”

Regarding the decision, Nintendo feels that Turf War will provide players will enough experience with Splatoon’s core mechanics. Nintendo is also emphasizing that these skills are necessary to succeed in Ranked Battles.

Ranked Battles will use a dynamic leveling system that matches players of similar skill levels in online battles. Letter grades are implemented, beginning with C-, and is independent of the player’s overall level.

A couple of more tweets hit the Xenoblade Chronicles X Twitter account today. In today’s messages, director Koh Kojima talks about the BLADE home area.

Kojima realizes that the team hasn’t talked much about this aspect of Xenoblade Chronicles X thus far. He says that BLADE will act as the player’s home base both online and offline, and is a location the player will be visiting very frequently in the game. Monolith Soft has prepared various customization options such as the ones they mentioned in previous tweets.

We have two more assets from the Japanese Splatoon Twitter account. Check out the latest image above, and another brief clip below.

As for today’s tweet translations, you can check that out below:

This weapon is the ‘Splacharger’.
By compressing ink in the weapon’s tank, it is capable of long-range shots and to hit your opponents with powerful blows.
It takes time to charge these strong shots, so you will need to learn to use your sub-weapon effectively.

Our researchers have obtained video of the Splacharger in action.
Please take a look.
To master this weapon, it seems as though you will need to develop an intuition for how long the charge takes.
