Update: That didn’t take long! Nintendo has now confirmed that the weapons are due out tomorrow in North America, and Saturday in Europe.

They’ll be going live at the following times:
– 7 PM PT
– 10 PM ET
– 3 AM in the UK
– 4 AM in Europe
Around 15 minutes ago, Nintendo of America sent out a tweet about new weapons coming to Splatoon tonight. But strangely, it was deleted soon after.
We did manage to capture an image of the tweet – you can see it above. You’ll also find screenshots of the new weapons below.
I’d imagine we’ll be seeing these new weapons either today or tomorrow. When Nintendo republishes the news, we’ll update this post.
Earlier this week, Nintendo finally confirmed the Super Mario Maker Wii U bundle for North America. We learned that it will come with the 30th Anniversary Mario – Modern Color amiibo, which was thought to be exclusive to the newly-announced package. However, that may not actually be true.
Last night, a Walmart Canada employee shared a planogram, which shows the 30th Anniversary Mario – Modern Color amiibo on the rack. This indicates that the figure will not be exclusive to the Super Mario Maker Wii U bundle… though now there’s speculation going around that the amiibo will only be sold at Walmart.
Square Enix published two more commercials for Dragon Quest VIII on 3DS, which is out now in Japan. You can find them below along with a director’s cut edition of all live action promos.
On September 1, Nintendo and Valhalla Game Studios will be adding new content to Devil’s Third. The game will be receiving a new rule set, area, and Special Arms – as shown in the image above. Additionally, players can earn five times the experience when playing the Carnival rule set between September 1 and September 8.
Marvelous has shared an extended launch trailer for Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson. We’ve posted it below.
