Splatoon players have long been able to hack their game to make Octolings playable. However, a kernel exploit has now been made public based on an older Wii U firmware version, making it much easier for people to modify their Splatoon save files and play as the character.

Normally you wouldn’t expect this to have an impact on other players, but that’s definitely not the case here. Those who encounter such users should stay in the lobby until they leave, and then play one more match. Why? Well, doing so ensures that the game doesn’t put their hacked Octoling character into your Inkopolis Plaza. Because the Plaza isn’t programmed to handle Octolings, your game will crash whenever it tries to load them. This includes the title screen as well.

It might be best for you to back up Wii U save data to a flash drive to be safe. If you run into the issues mentioned above, you’ll need to wait until the plaza is cleared at the beginning of a Splatfest. Hopefully Nintendo will take care of things via a patch as well.

A brand new update is now up for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS following its maintenance, and with it comes a new batch of DLC.

We’ve known for a while now that the brand new Super Mario Maker stage would be making its way to Super Smash Bros. as downloadable content, but also included in today’s update is a stage making its return from Super Smash Bros. Brawl – the Pirate Ship stage.

Along with the brand new Pirate Ship stage – which is available as DLC exclusively on Wii U – the Duck Hunt stage from the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros. is now making its way over to the 3DS version.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper update without more Mii Fighter costumes. Included in the brand new update and DLC are seven brand new Mii Fighter costumes, which are:

• Business Suit
• Fox Set (StarFox) (Gunner)
• Captain Falcon’s Outfit (Brawler)
• Toad (Brawler)
• Viridi Set – Kid Icarus (Sword Fighter)
• Hunter Set – Monster Hunter (Sword Fighter)

As usual with the Mii Fighter costumes, you can buy them individually or as a bundle for a discounted price.

Here’s the breakdown:

Super Mario Maker stage

3DS – $2.49
Wii U – $2.49
3DS/Wii U – $3.49

Pirate Ship stage

Wii U – $1.99

Mii Fighters

3DS – $0.75
Wii U – $0.75
3DS/Wii U – $1.15

Be sure to download the new update if it isn’t done automatically when you boot up the game to gain access to all of today’s new content.

Devil’s Third has added a new Ignition mode in multiplayer, footage of which is below.

In Ignition mode, there are two teams: attack and defense. Those on the attacking side need to place and detonate a bomb while the defending group naturally must prevent it from going off. The team with the most round wins will take the overall match.
