A series of “Top Tip” Splatoon videos were uploaded by Nintendo of Europe earlier today. In each one, co-director Tsubasa Sakaguchi gives some advice pertaining to weapons, sub weapons, gear, and Turf Wars. We’ve attached all of the tips below.

Abylight already has its next 3DS eShop title in the pipeline following Musicverse: Electronic Keyboard. The studio is bringing back AfterZoom, a 2011 DSiWare game featuring a mix of real-world biology and fantasy elements.
Here’s the announcement from Abylight:
“Here in Abylight Studios we want to turn 2016 into one of the best years since the creation of the team, and not only because of our released games, but also for the beautiful collaborations we are working on. After the ‘Musicverse: Electronic Keyboard’ success on the Nintendo eShop, and almost with no time for us to recover from the celebration, we want to share more good news!
Because of the interest and love that you showed us about bringing ‘AfterZoom’ to Nintendo 3DS™, it is finally heading to the portable console. However, as you may imagine already, we can’t reveal further details, but we hope to start releasing more information in the coming weeks.
Prepare your Nintendo 3DS™ system because we will turn it into a lab from another planet! On this new installment of the franchise, ‘AfterZoom’ unveils the origins of such a weird microorganism collection, which consists of more than 150 species. These organisms are feisty and there will be lots of training to calm them down…”
Abylight has yet to say when AfterZoom will be made available on the eShop.

‘It’s my lunch break, so I’m heading out for a quick bite to eat. Out of the office, across the street, up some… vines?! Maybe this won’t be so quick after all…'”
And a video for Mashiko / Mary O:
