FDG Entertainment had some big news for Monster Boy last week. The game is seeing a graphical overhaul with reworked characters and animations. Monster Boy implemented hand-drawn characters since the last time we saw it.

Today, FDG revealed the next redone character in a blog post. Our first look at the new version of the frog is above.

Here’s what FDG had to say about the change:

As you can see, the proportions of the frog are now different. With the new freedom of entirely hand-drawn animation we are not dependent on an overarching skeleton/puppet system anymore which means we can let him do really cool stunts. Swinging rings and using the tongue will now look much more dynamic. He’s also looking more like a frog than before which adds a lot to the visual variety while playing Monster Boy. We hope you like the new look!

Thanks to HerosShade for the tip.

This week, Splatoon 2 is getting not one, but two new weapons. The Custom E-liter 4K is identical to the regular E-liter 4K, except that it comes with the Squid Beakon sub-weapon and the Bubble Blower special. The Custom E-liter 4K Scope will also be added to the game. Just like the Scope version of the regular E-liter 4K, this one has a longer range, but can’t store a charged shot. It also comes with the Squid Beakon sub-weapon and the Bubble Blower special.

Both weapons will be available tomorrow around noon in Japan and Australia, early in the morning in Europe and later in the evening today in North America.
