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.”
This week’s Nintendo Minute episode has gone live. Just like the previous video, it once again puts the focus on Super Mario Maker. Check it out below.

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.

TIME has an interview with up Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka. Some of the comments are actually from June, but there’s a sprinkling of fresh remarks as well.
One interesting excerpt concerns Miyamoto talking about how Super Mario Maker is like a transition point for the franchise, as Nintendo feels it’s time “to move in a new direction”. Miyamoto said:
“Doing this now at the 30th anniversary [of Super Mario Bros.] is really putting some more of that creativity into the players. But at the same time, we as the developers feel that it’s time for us to move in a new direction, and we’re preparing to work on the future of Super Mario from here on.”

In early August, Nintendo launched a Splatoon web app. While it’s set up in Japanese, it can be used by all players.
The app has since been updated to support Twitter notifications. Each time you’re online, a notification will be pushed out on Twitter. It’ll give your friends a heads up that you’re available for a battle!
You can check out the Splatoon web app right here.
