Splatoon has been updated with yet another new weapon. As of now, players can begin using the Luna Blaster.
Nintendo has said that the Luna Blaster has poor range. While that may be so, it features a high fire rate and explosive impact.
Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash will come in two versions. Consumers will be able to purchase the standalone game, or a different version that contains an amiibo.
We previously heard that the Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash amiibo bundle is looking like a $50 package. Meanwhile, GameStop is listing the standard version for $30. I guess that means Nintendo feels that the Chibi-Robo amiibo is worth $20!
Polygon has posted a new interview with The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes director Hiromosa Shikata. Shikata addressed the project’s origins, shared further insight into Link being able to wear a dress, and commented on the co-op and communication elements.
Continue on below for a breakdown of Polygon’s piece. You can check out the site’s full article here.
On the game’s origins…
“I remember talking about it during the development of A Link Between Worlds. [We] had wanted to do more multiplayer Zelda … and in [Spirit Tracks] there’s a portion where you control the Phantoms. That element really intrigued me and brought out the idea that I wanted to try multiplayer as well.
“We really got started on it during development of A Link Between Worlds, that feeling of wanting to explore more multiplayer. It was sort of revitalized and came out of hibernation for me while I was working on A Link Between Worlds.”
– Shikata says outfits also reflect a sense of accomplishment
– A player’s available wardrobe will reflect their progress in the game
– Players craft their outfits from materials they find by clearing dungeons, turning Triforce Heroes into something of a loot-based grind
