Comcept has interest in expanding on Mighty No. 9, sequel or spinoff possible
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U | 10 Comments
Although though Mighty No. 9 has yet to launch, Comcept is already thinking about the IP’s future. That could include a sequel or even a spinoff.
Speaking with Prankster101, Comcept producer Nick Yu said that it’s only natural to think about a sequel when creating a game. And given the attention surrounding Mighty No. 9 thus far, it makes sense for the team to expand on its project.
Yu said:
“I’m calling Inafune-san here, but when a game creator makes a new game, or makes any game for example, they always think about the sequel. Always thinking about what they can do with the IP. So naturally for us, for Comcept, we are already thinking about the next step for Mighty No. 9. Whether it’s gonna be a sequel or a spinoff, we don’t know yet. But since we already have this much attention, and a decent amount of feedback from the people who play the game, there’s just no reason not for us to not expand on the title.”

Splatoon’s latest weapon, H-3 Nozzlenose, is now available. Here’s an official description of the rather powerful weapon:
“You want a weapon that packs a wallop and also kind of looks like a garden hose rolled up? This here’s your pick. A long interval between shots is made up for by high attack power. With the H-3 Nozzlenose, a one-hit kill is a real possibility.”

Update: Well, this all came to an end rather quickly. These sound file seem to be tied to the unlockable costumes (ex: star with get modern Mario). Thanks NicoRobin.
A pair of Super Mario 64 sound files have been found within Super Mario Maker’s various data. The music in question are the “Powerful Mario” and “Metallic Mario” tracks – both can be listened to below.
This may be interesting, but that doesn’t mean anything will necessarily come from it. We’ll update this post if anything further about the situation develops.

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 6 Comments
Splatoon’s fifth North American Splatfest will take place next weekend, Nintendo has revealed.
In the new competition, art and science will face off. Here’s the official notice from the Splatoon Tumblr:
“The next Splatfest draws near! Next week, we pit art against science! Now, we here at the Squid Research Lab know that you’re a talented bunch of artists. We’ve seen what you can do in art contests, on Miiverse and, not to mention, all the rad fan art uploaded to Tumblr! It seems at first glance that art will have no problem taking it all. BUT! When you think about all the greats hanging out on the science side (Bill Nye! Neil deGrasse Tyson! Beakman!), it’s not hard to see how science could win this one!”
This new Splatfest will kick off on September 18 at 9 PM PT (12 AM ET on September 19). It will last through the following day.
