Splatoon players now have another weapon at their disposal. Nintendo has added in the Carbon Roller Dec, which is a brand new addition to the arsenal.

Here’s an overview of the Carbon Roller Deco from Nintendo:

“Have you ever looked at your Carbon Roller and through to yourself, “Hey, I wish this looked jazzier!”? Well your prayers are about to be answered when the Carbon Roller Deco goes on sale tonight! The Carbon Roller Deco comes with not one, but TWO ways to use Seekers – as a sub, or as a special that unleashes a whole swarm of ‘em.”

Nintendo has gone live with the second of five “Survival Guide” episodes for Xenoblade Chronicles X. You can watch the new video below.

Later tonight, Splatoon will be adding the new Carbon Roller Deco weapon. You can see it in action below.

Just like in Japan, Splatoon’s sixth North American Splatfest will be held next weekend. Players only need to answer this simple question: how would you rather travel, by car or by plane?

The Splatfest will begin on October 9 at 9 PM on the West Coast and October 10 at 12 AM on the East Coast. As usual, the event is held for a full day.

Playtonic posted a new Yooka-Laylee update on its website today. You can find it in its entirety here.

One of the notable excerpts from the update is a look at a new NPC, pictured above. Playtonic describes here as follows:

“One new character you may have spied in a recent issue of Edge is the slender lass below. Crayoned by our own Kev Bayliss, this yet-to-be-named NPC will require Yooka and Laylee’s assistance on the very first world of the game. Obviously she’s forgot to turn the iron off or something and they’ll need to go and get the spare keys off her landlord.”

Playtonic also unveiled a new piece of art at EGX last week, which was made by Dean Wilson. We’ve attached it below.

A number of GAME customers went through a whole bunch of issues if they pre-ordered Super Mario Maker from the retailer. Most notably, some saw charges in their bank accounts up to seven times, and it wasn’t until a few days later that these problems were ironed out.

GAME is at least attempting to provide some compensation for troubling consumers. Along with sending out a formal apology, many are also being given letters with a £10 gift card.

Here’s a look at the letter:

“As you have been affected by some billing issues on Mario, we wanted to get in tough to say sorry and that we made a mistake. We know this was wrong and have been working to ensure things go smoothly in future.

We wanted to send you this goodwill voucher of £10 which you can redeem either in store or online. We know you love gaming or were buying Mario as a gift. We’re sorry if we caused you any inconvenience and please accept our sincere apologies.”
