Update: Translation is below:

We’ll introduce some of the weapons you can use in battle.
This is called the “Splashooter”.
The strength, range, and firing-rate are well balanced and useful in a variety of situations.
It’s easy to use for just about everyone; you might even call it the standard weapon.

We’ll update this post with a translation a little later on. Stay tuned!

Hyrule Warriors is one of those Wii U games that has managed to hold its value pretty well. Despite having launched in September, there haven’t been a whole lot of major sales.

You can at least save a bit of cash on Hyrule Warriors by ordering the game from Amazon. It’s dropped to $48.98, which is $10 off the normal asking price.

Devil’s Third creator Tomonobu Itagaki talked up the Wii U game a bit more on his personal Facebook page.

There’s nothing too major here, but Itagaki does mention that you should use the Pro Controller while playing Devil’s Third. He also mentioned how it’s much different compared to what was shown back in 2011. That makes sense given what we saw during E3 last year.

Below is a roundup of Itagaki’s latest Facebook remarks:

This week’s issue of Famitsu has another update on Splatoon. There isn’t too much, but a few more bits and pieces of information are included in the magazine.

Here’s the latest:

Controls
Left Stick – Movement
ZL – ‘Squid’ (only while pushed)
Gyro Sensor (Aim – can be turned off)
Right Stick – Look left & right. Push in for Special Weapon.
R – Sub Weapon
ZR – Ink Shot
X – Jump
Y – Camera Reset

– Squid form is faster than human form, but can’t move outside of ink
– Jump is more or less the same for both human and squid forms, but while moving through your own color ink, you can jump further
– Can reach places you can’t in human form
– These include places that might prove vital in winning

The next Splatoon update will be in the March 5 issue of Famitsu. We’ll hear more about the Octarians.
