Wii U eShop

The creators of Splatoon went to Twitter to update us on how the game keeps track of your points and how much detail they’re putting into the game, and thanks to some folks over at NeoGAF, we have the tweets translated and ready to read!

“Report from the Squid Research Laboratory. In Turf Battles, the amount of area covered by ink becomes your points. The number of times you knocked out enemies and the number of times you were knocked out is counted to, but these don’t contribute to your score. This means that the ones who spread the most ink are the best.”

“Squid lovers may already be aware of this but a squid’s jaw is called a ‘beak’, and is firm and sharp much like a bird’s is. Looking closely, you will notice that the Inkling’s teeth also have an interesting shape. By the way, the meat around the beak on a real squid is crunchy and tasty.”

Update: The page has been pulled and Mega Man Zero isn’t on the eShop, so it looks like today isn’t the day after all. Maybe next week?


It isn’t mentioned anywhere in Nintendo’s newest digital download report, but Mega Man Zero is apparently releasing on the North American Wii U Virtual Console today. Nintendo’s website has the game listed for launch on December 11 with a $7.99 price point. Once the eShop updates, we should be able to confirm this.
