Splatoon 2 reveals new Torpedo sub weapon

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

Nintendo has introduced another new sub weapon for Splatoon 2. Today we have a look at the Torpedo, which we have more details on below – plus a first look in action.

A new sub weapon called the Torpedo is coming to #Splatoon2! When thrown, it changes shape and homes in on a nearby enemy, exploding on impact and splatting ink everywhere! Fortunately, Torpedoes thrown by opponents can be shot down with your own attack. pic.twitter.com/NTtzBkNUWG

Nintendo has not yet provided an exact date for the Torpedo’s inclusion in Splatoon 2. However, it should go live with next week’s update.

Splatoon 2: version 4.2.0 coming next week, includes new Special Weapon

Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch, Videos | 0 comments

Nintendo isn’t quite done yet with adding new content to Splatoon 2. Next week, on November 6th/7th (depending on your timezone), the game will be updated to version 4.2.0. One of the things to be added with this version is a new Special Weapon, the Ultra Stamp (a literal translation of its Japanese name, it might have a different English name). When using this weapon, you move forward while repeatedly striking the ground – this even protects you from attacks from the front to a certain extent; however you are vulnerable to attacks from behind. You can also rotate the weapon vertically and use it in the air by pressing the ZR button. You can also throw it by pressing the R button, but this ends the use of the Special Weapon. The tweet below has a video of the Ultra Stamp in action:

「ウルトラハンコ」を試しうちしている動画を入手したのでお見せするぞ。
この新しいスペシャルが含まれる更新データVer.4.2は、11月7日(水)以降に配信予定だ。
今しばらくお待ちいただきたい。 pic.twitter.com/cKkJa6hN4d
