L-3 Nozzlenose and Custom E-liter 3K out now for Splatoon
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Another two weapons have been added to Splatoon. As of now, players can begin using the L-3 Nozzlenose and Custom E-liter 3K.
Below are overviews of each:
L-3 Nozzlenose
You won’t find many charger weapons with a longer shot range than this puppy, and the Squid Beakon makes it easy for your team to back you up. Throw in the Kraken special for good measure and you’re looking at a well-rounded weapon set!
Custom E-liter 3K
This shooter squeezes off three ink blasts in one rapid burst! It takes some getting used to, but in the right hands it’s inkredibly accurate and efficient. It comes with Disruptors for a sub weapon, and the Killer Wail for a special weapon.

Rice victorious over bread in Japan’s first Splatfest for Splatoon
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 3 Comments
Nintendo held the first Splatfest for Splatoon in Japan this weekend. It’s finished now, and Nintendo has gone ahead and announced the results.
Splatoon players were asked to choose between one of two sides. They could either vote for rice or bread as their favorite breakfast meal.
The official Japnaese Splatoon Twitter account reveals that rice came out on top with 57 percent of the vote. Bread nabbed just 43 percent.
Nintendo acknowledged that some players were experiencing connection issues during the Splatfest, which seemed to cause problems more for rice representatives. The company apologized for the trouble.

May 2015 NPD: Splatoon sells 136,000 copies
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 64 Comments
NPD published its latest software chart based on data collected throughout May on the U.S. market. As Splatoon launched on May 29, it just managed to sneak its way into the reporting period.
Splatoon managed to take the fifth spot in NPD’s chart for May. But the big question is, how many copies did the game actually sell?
NPD hasn’t provided specific numbers in ages, and Nintendo did not send out a response to the May report. But thankfully, well-known sales leaker “creamsugar” has come through with data. creamsugar says that Splatoon sold 136,000 copies in May, which is based on just two days of sales.
Splatoon’s U.S. debut is fairly similar to its performance in Japan. Through four days, the title sold 145,000 units on the Japanese market.
Dengeki: Splatoon’s sell-through rate at 90% for its second week
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 13 Comments
During its first week, Splatoon experienced one of the highest sell-through rates ever in Japan. That number came in at 97.33 percent, which was a sign that the game was almost impossible to find in all stores.
Splatoon has now been on the market for a second week and has yet to show any signs of slowing down. As stated in a Dengeki report, the shooter sold nearly 70,000 copies with a sell-through rate of 90 percent between June 1 and June 7. Media Create’s information will probably vary just slightly, but this is a sign that consumers are still very much interested in Splatoon.
