Splatoon’s latest two weapons are now live. Along with the Custom E-liter 3k Scope, players can also begin using the Custom Range Blaster.

Here’s an overview of the former weapon:

“The range and zoom are impressive, but the viewfinder is so narrow that it’s easy to leave yourself open to attack while aiming. If you’re using this bad boy, you’ll need to learn to watch your back, lest ye get splatted from behind.”

And an overview for the Custom Range Blaster:

“The Custom Range Blaster comes with a versatile sub weapon – Splat Bombs – and a special weapon that excels in close-quarters combat – the Kraken! Grab a Custom Range Blaster tonight and get ready to UNLEASH THE KRAKEN!”

Last week, we reported on a serious issue pertaining to Splatoon. You can read our original post here for the full story, but essentially, some players were using an exploit to play as Octolings which would corrupt other users’ save data.

Rumor has it that Nintendo has since followed up on the situation. Supposedly, such hackers who had obtained access to content like unreleased character models/weapons have been banned at the system level.

Splatoon’s sixth Splatfest is happening this weekend in North America and Japan. Unfortunately for European players, they’ll have to wait a bit longer for the next competition. Nintendo said in a tweet today that the next Splatfest in Europe isn’t planned for this weekend.

Double the pleasure! Nintendo of Europe has always been generous with their combo packs and extras; they’ve outdone themselves this time. Hoping to cash in on their best-selling games of the year, a Wii U bundled with Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon will release on October 30th. Physical copies of the game will not be included; instead, the Wii U will come with a pre-installed copy of Mario Kart 8 and a download code for Splatoon.

The Bundle will retail for £240.

There is currently no active link to the bundle on the Nintendo UK shop but we’ll have one up as soon as it becomes available.

Splatoon players now have another weapon at their disposal. Nintendo has added in the Carbon Roller Dec, which is a brand new addition to the arsenal.

Here’s an overview of the Carbon Roller Deco from Nintendo:

“Have you ever looked at your Carbon Roller and through to yourself, “Hey, I wish this looked jazzier!”? Well your prayers are about to be answered when the Carbon Roller Deco goes on sale tonight! The Carbon Roller Deco comes with not one, but TWO ways to use Seekers – as a sub, or as a special that unleashes a whole swarm of ‘em.”
