The Splatoon Twitter account has revealed another new stage element that can be found in the game’s Hero Mode. In the Japanese version, it’s called “cologalium” – what looks like five tubes stuck together. Like most things in Splatoon, if you ink them, you can use them to your advantage. In this case, inking them propels them forward, and they also leave behind a path of your ink. Depending on where you hit the tubes, you can control the trajectory at which they travel, allowing you to hit enemies that are high up. Some of the Octarians are also capable of producing cologalium and can use it to attack – but of course, you can just shoot it right back at them.
この仕掛けは「コロガリウム」。
攻撃するとその反動で勢いよく転がり、ぶつかった敵を倒すことができる。
下から角度をつけて攻撃すれば、空中に飛ばすことも可能だ。
コロガリウムを使って攻撃してくるタコ、「タコリバーサー」もいるが、タイミングよく打ち返せば反撃することもできるぞ。 pic.twitter.com/Y7c1LVT7JS— Splatoon（スプラトゥーン） (@SplatoonJP) May 30, 2017
It seems like Pokemon Sun & Moon’s online servers are experiencing some issues at the moment. Nintendo have issued a statement that they are investigating these issues and are working to fix them. Since a Global Mission is currently underway, it’s possible that it might be extended to compensate for this downtime.
Surprisingly enough, our first proper look at Fire Emblem Warriors (after that brief trailer featuring Chrom a couple of months ago) comes not from E3, but instead from Famitsu. We only have preview images of the article in this week’s Famitsu magazine about Fire Emblem Warriors at the moment, but we can nonetheless learn a couple of things from them.
It seems like the game’s main characters, much like Fire Emblem Heroes, will be a brother and sister pair – original characters Shion and Lian. It also comes as no surprise that Marth will be playable as well.
We will have more information once we get our hands on the full issue of Famitsu tomorrow.
A new game called Lost Sphear has been revealed for the Nintendo Switch. It will be developed by Tokyo RPG Factory, of I Am Setsuna fame, and published by Square Enix. Check out the video below.
The newest summon event is now available for players to try. You now have a chance to summon the bridal versions of Lyn, Caeda and Cordelia as well as newcomer Charlotte (each at 5 stars). The summon also comes with new maps to try in the paralogue section with their own special quests to earn rewards. This event will run until June 6th.
Another Pokemon Shuffle update has happened and with it three new stages for players to try and tackle. These stages include an Ultra Challenge Solgaleo stage, Escalation Battle Decidueye stage and a High-Speed Challenge Alolan Raichu stage. These stages will be available until June 13th.
On Nintendo’s official Japanese website they have made listings of a number of new Animal Crossing merchandise items including key chains and pins. You can take a look at all their offerings right here.
There are quite a few updates for Pokemon Sun and Moon regarding tournaments and the next global mission.
Tiny Tourney
The next battle competition has been announced as the Tiny Tourney. The tournament will be a double battle with Pokmeon under one meter (3’03”) only eligible for entry. Registration runs from June 14th to June 22nd and battles will run from June 23rd to June 25th. Every entrant will receive Galladite, Gardevoirite, and Lopunnite Mega Stones. You can download the rules now at the Festival Plaza.
Mega Stone Gift
All participants in the 2017 International Challenge April Competition will now be able to receive the Sceptilite, Blazikenite & Swampertite Mega Stones after logging into the Global Link. These gifts are available until June 29th.
Seventh Global Mission
The seventh Global Mission has now begun for Pokemon Sun and Moon. This mission requires players to fish up 500,000 Pokemon or items in the bubbling fishing spots. Also if players hatch 3 or more eggs they will receive a rare candy and if 1,000,000 Pokemon and items are fished up then players with PGL accounts will receive a Lure Ball. This mission will run until June 13th.
Which fighter had the highest win rate in the ARMS Global Testpunch? That was none other than Mechanica, who beat out the other seven characters available in the demo.
Nintendo previously announced that Ninjara was the most used fighter featured in the ARMS Global Testpunch. Min Min came in second.
The ARMS Global Testpunch will be taking place once again this weekend. We’ll hopefully be receiving some stats after the second wave as well.
