Splatoon Update
Kicking off a steady stream of free content additions throughout the summer, Splatoon has a new weapon and map: the nostalgia-packed N-Zap ’85 rapid-fire shooter and the Port Mackerel map, both available now. The N-ZAP ’85 is a shooter with excellent ink efficiency and rapid-fire capability. Its attack power isn’t all that, but it’s fabulous at quickly charging up the Echolocator special weapon. Combined with Splat Bombs, this set caters to fighters who like to cover a lot of ground in battle. For more information, visit http://splatoon.nintendo.com.

We recently reported that Tappingo 2 will hit Europe this June, but we now have a concrete date – June 25th. However, Nintendo Life reports that publisher Circle Entertainment decided that it will not be released in Germany on that date. The reason for that is likely the USK, the rating system in place in Germany, as opposed to PEGI, which is in use in most other European countries. Getting an USK certification naturally costs money, which probably wasn’t financially feasible for a rather small game and publisher. Still, the game’s developer, Hugo Smits, stated that he’d like to self-publish the game in Germany at some point.
Two Tribes prepared a new trailer for RIVE today. Give it a watch below.
Nintendo announced today that its 75th annual shareholder’s meeting will be held on June 26th at 10 AM JST at the company’s Kyoto headquarter.
Other than a report on Nintendo’s past fiscal year (April 1, 2014 – March 31, 2015), the main point of interest at the meeting will be a vote to (re)instate ten Directors at the company, as the terms of office of ten of them will expire at that time. However, every single one of them (Satoru Iwata, Genyo Takeda, Shigeru Miyamoto, Tatsumi Kimishima, Shigeyuki Takahashi, Satoshi Yamato, Susumu Tanaka, Shinya Takahashi, Hirokazu Shinshi and Naoki Mizutani) is running for those offices again and there are no other candidates, so there should be no surprises as all of them will likely be re-elected.
The distribution of the company’s shares will also be a focus at the meeting. Some recent updates on the current state of shares:
- The Master Trust Bank of Japan, Ltd. (Trust Account) has climbed from 1.98% to 2.54%
- Katsuhito Yamauchi (the son of the late Hiroshi Yamauchi) has climbed from 1.98% to 2.37%
- Banjo Yamauchi (unknown relation to Hiroshi Yamauchi) is gone from the list of major shareholders
- Northern Trust Co. (AVFC) Sub A/C Non Treaty is gone from the list of major shareholders
You can find some more granular information about the meeting and the current state of the company in the official shareholder’s meeting notice and this information disclosure about the notice.
