Splatoon image 3/9/15

Update: Translation below:
This weapon is called the ‘Splaroller’. Since its main feature is painting while moving forward, it’s easy to think of it as a close-range-only weapon, but by flicking it, you can hit enemies at a mid distance. Learning to balance painting and flicking is crucial for this weapon.
We have obtained footage of the Splaroller in action. Watching this should give you a good impression of what it’s like to move around while using this weapon.
Today’s Splatoon image brings with it another video snippet of the game too!

Learn about the differences between Rodea: The Sky Soldier on Wii U, 3DS, and Wii
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 7 Comments
There’s not one, but three different versions of Rodea: The Sky Soldier. Among the Wii U, 3DS, and Wii versions, the story and foundations of stages are shared, though there are some key differences between each edition. Japanese website 4Gamer recently put up a preview of all three releases and provided information about how each one plays.
If you haven’t been keeping up with Rodea or need a quick refresh, let’s recap the core plot. “Gravity Energy” has caused everything to become mechanized in the Naga Empire, which sets out to invade the floating continent Garuda for the first time in a millennium. When this happened previously, the princess of Naga Empire entrusted her will to the robot Rodea and disappeared. A mechanic named Ion finds Rodea in some ruins (now in present day), who awakens once more. His knowledge of the old princess’ whereabouts reside deep within his memories.
With out of the way, let’s move on to gameplay details!
Continue on for Rodea: The Sky Soldier on Wii U…

Next Level Games animator suggests the studio is making a Wii U game
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 32 Comments
Update: Bumped to the top. Pratezina has now removed all mentions of Wii U from his website. Hmm…
Dan Pratezina, an animator at Next Level Games, has suggested that the studio is working on a new game for Wii U.
Pratezina wrote the following on his website back in January:
After over ten years in film and television, I’m working in a gaming pipeline for the first time at Next Level Games, helping previs & animate in-engine cutscenes. Switching pipelines like this is a terrific brain-scramble, the crew is fantastic, and it’s a ton of fun being surrounded by Nintendo IP all day. It’s making me want a WiiU. Is that weird? Yes, it is. But here we are.

Best Buy: $5 off any Wii U/3DS game, 10% off Wii U/Wii/3DS accessory
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo held an event at Best Buy today to show off amiibo and some 3DS games. That wasn’t all though! Nintendo also provided a QR code to obtain a Mii on 3DS for Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma, and a couple of coupons were handed out – one to save $5 on any Wii U/3DS title, and another to save 10 percent on Wii U/3DS/Wii accessories.
We’re not entirely sure yet if the coupon only works at stores that participated in today’s event, or if it works at all Best Buy locations. If we receive a definitive answer, we’ll update this post. You can find a list of stores that were involved with the event here.
