Wii U

Today’s Splatoon image provides a look at one of the weapons in the game. Check out the art piece above, and some information below.

We received a sketch from one of our researchers.
A giant weapon, created by the Octopus Army Corps, awaits you deep inside their underground base. It appears to use the Battery Catfish as its power source. In order to rescue the poor thing[s] from this fate, you have no choice but to take down the weapon while withstanding its powerful attacks.

One of our researchers got their hands on what appears to be blue prints for the Octopus Army’s weapons.
This one will automatically follow any intruders and shower them with a rain-like ink to chase them away. The Inkling’s attacks appear to have no affect on this device. That is one scary weapon….
