Splatoon is officially launching in just a matter of minutes, so we’re giving this one final bump!
Finally we’ve come upon the day when Splatoon reviews are allowed to be posted. Here’s a 15 minute video with a whole lot of what I thought about the game; would you believe me if I said this was edited down from a thirty minute video? I could seriously make a 60 minute video about this game honestly. Maybe I will someday.
Our complete video review is below. Hit the break for the summary, recommendation, and rating.
Over the past couple of weeks, Austin has been playing the heck out of Splatoon. The game has a bunch of neat details, and he’s picked up on a few of them that fans might be interested in.
Our fourth and fifth videos (last ones!) explore a neat single-player touch, plus a look at how the world of Splatoon is connected together. Check them out below.
Electronic Super Joy: Groove City, an eShop game that arrived on Wii U back in January, is now coming to retail. Creator Michael Todd announced on Twitter that the physical version is slated for September, and new content will be included. 15 new levels have been added to the package.
Todd wrote on Twitter today:

We don’t have an exact release date just yet. When we hear something, we’ll be sure to let you know!
The upcoming 1.2 patch for ZaciSa’s Last Stand will add a new Insanity Mode. In it, levels introduces a random special event that can either help you or hinder your progress. You may encounter a level with reduced enemy speed, or possibly something like double or triple the enemy spawns.
Here’s a couple of videos for the Insanity Mode:
Circle Entertainment launched Glory of Generals: The Pacific on the North American 3DS eShop today. A short intro/trailer for the title is posted below.
Nintendo initiated an interesting offer over on the UK Wii U eShop. If you buy one of six select games, you’ll receive a 10 percent discount code that can be used for amiibo on the company’s online store. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Mario Kart 8, Mario Party 10, Splatoon, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and Hyrule Warriors are the eligible titles.
Adventures of Pip’s release date has changed once again, though this time it’s for the better. As opposed to June 10, you’ll be able to purchase the game starting on June 4 – next Thursday.
TicToc Games confirmed on Twitter just a short while ago:
Due to popular demand & the magic of @NintendoAmerica, Adventures of Pip will launch on #WiiU early: June 4!

YES, that's Thursday! Only one week! Adventures of Pip releases together on #Steam (worldwide) and #WiiU (NA) on June 4th. #indiedev #8bit

Note that Adventures of Pip’s release date only applies to North America. The European launch will take place at some time in the future.
Nintendo teamed up with Koei Tecmo for Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3’s Japanese release last year. By playing an eShop demo, players could access costumes based on Link and Zelda from Hyrule Warriors.
Unfortunately, Koei Tecmo won’t be offering these items in next month’s western version. The company told Siliconera that “those costumes are Japan-exclusive”.
Nintendo’s latest YouTube video is all about fan reactions to last week’s Splatoon Mess Fest. If you’re interested in the event, give it a watch below.
Polygon uploaded a bit of extra direct-feed footage from the Disney Infinity 3.0 Inside Out Play Set. We’ve posted the video below.
