Splatoon’s latest map has gone live. Nintendo has added in Hammerhead Bridge, so it’s now included in the rotation.
Here’s a brief overview of the map:
“Verticality is a feature of the stage, with the terrain split into two distinct layers. Ink assaults can come from any direction, but watch out for attacks from above or below gratings in the floor or ceiling in particular. Battles here are sure to be dynamic affairs playing out in all corners of the stage.”
You can get a look at Hammerhead Bridge in video form below.

Twitter user “NWPlayer123” has been data mining Super Mario Maker and has come across some interesting discoveries. Strangely, the game features art and images of beta elements in Splatoon. It seems as though the two titles run on similar builds, which is why Splatoon content was found within Super Mario Maker.
You can get a look at the various beta images above. We’re able to see things such as what seems to be a beta version of Splatoon’s Gas Mask, the original Suction Bomb, and more.

Squid Wars rounds are two minutes long. At the end of the match, the winner is chosen by the team that paints the most scenery.
Here’s a look at Squid Wars in action:

Splatoon’s latest weapon, H-3 Nozzlenose, is now available. Here’s an official description of the rather powerful weapon:
“You want a weapon that packs a wallop and also kind of looks like a garden hose rolled up? This here’s your pick. A long interval between shots is made up for by high attack power. With the H-3 Nozzlenose, a one-hit kill is a real possibility.”
