Splatoon image (3/4/15)

Update: Translations:
In between judging turf battles, you can find Judd sleeping around the entrance to the tower in the Plaza.
Cats sleep so much that there’s a theory that their [Japanese] name derives from ‘sleeping child’.
They say that the older the cat, the more they sleep, but just how old is Judd?
He seems like he’s got a very relaxed way of sleeping.One of our field researchers sent us a video of Judd sleeping.
Our image division has recently been focused on video, it seems.
It’s been bothering me for a while, but Judd has an oddly shaped tail.
Speaking of, I’ve heard that a cat’s tail will split in two as they get older and they will become a ghoul [specifically, a ‘youkai’ in Japanese].
You don’t think…
Today we find ourselves getting not only an image for Splatoon but another snippet from the game as well!

Newly-announced Unity 5 will support Wii U
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 5 Comments
Update: Interestingly, Unity 5 isn’t available for Wii U just yet. We’re not quite sure why. Unity told one developer: “We don’t have any information on a release time frame right now.” Stay tuned!
Unity 5 was announced and released today. Given the engine’s strong support for Wii U, it comes as no surprise that this latest version will also work on the console. We won’t delve too far into the technical aspects, but Unity 5 features elements like a new physics engine, more flexibility with animation, and is more efficient compared to previous versions.
