Splatoon is about to get another new stage. Nintendo has announced that the “Bluefin Depot” level is due out tomorrow morning in Europe, which probably means tonight in North America. We can probably expect it to launch at 10 PM ET / 7 PM PT / 3 AM in the UK / 4 AM in Europe.
From tomorrow morning you can play on the Bluefin Depot stage. Excite! #Splatoon pic.twitter.com/y413FrLdmc

Thanks to Tom H for the tip.
Nintendo has updated Collectible Badge Center with even more goodies. Users now have access to Six panels of Mario VS Donkey Kong, two of Animal Crossing (obviously including Isabelle!) and one of Swapnote. Hit up the gallery below for photos.
Nintendo announced a few months ago that it’s working on a new platform called “NX”. The company hasn’t elaborated any further, and never confirmed if we can expect it to be a home console or new portable system.
That’s why recent comments made by Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime are quite interesting. Here’s what he had to say about NX in an interview with The Wall Street Journal (see a Q&A breakdown here):
We’ve also said publicly that we are already hard at work on our next home console and that’s another element we’ll be talking about much later.
Remember: Metroid Prime series producer Kensuke Tanabe, speaking with Eurogamer this week, also referred to NX as a console.
So what can we make of this? This definitely seem to be a strong hint – if not a confirmation – that NX will be a console rather than a handheld.
