Splatoon screenshots (2/25/15)
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Screenshots, Wii U | 2 Comments
Another couple of screenshots have come in for Splatoon. This time around, we get to hear about “Octo Valley”. View both of the images below.
This is ‘Octo Valley’ – the starting point for Hero Mode.
Cap’n Cuttlefish lives here watching over the Octarians.
He’s not lonely, though. Heroes are destined to live a life of solitude.
He tells you that he hasn’t seen his grandchild recently…without you even needing to ask.The Octarians live under the ground in Octo Valley.
Connecting their headquarters to the surface is this kettle-shaped transportation device.
Undoubtedly, the Octarians have set a trap and now lay in wait.
No time for carelessness! Ah, if only I was a little bit younger!

Headstrong Games, the developer behind the Art Academy and Battalion Wars titles, may have an unannounced Wii U game in the works. Former programmer Callum Brighting lists the project on his LinkedIn profile, which is apparently not the Wii U version of Art Academy. It’s unclear if it’s still in the works, or was cancelled.
