Splatoon screenshot and art (12/23/14)
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Screenshots, Wii U | 14 Comments
Update (12/24/14):
Here’s the translation of the above image:
Breakings news! We’ve just received solid evidence confirming that some of the octopus creatures can take on a humanoid form, just like the crazy squids! However, this has so far only been observed in females. Are the octo-males not capable of this amazing feat? We’re assigning two interns to focus on answering this tantalizing question.
We also have this new piece of art:
Merry Squidmas! Check out the awesome holiday card one of our senior interns sent us this year. From the looks of it, he’s been bitten by full-on squid mania!
We’ll update this post with Nintendo’s translation once it comes in! That’ll likely happen tomorrow.

Check it out! One of our lab assistants just texted over this fascinating new image. It looks like the interior of a giant warehouse, and the location of some intense turf-war battles. I sure hope the squids get permission before going in here and clean up after themselves when they’re done…
