Splatoon

Following yesterday’s announcement (and subsequent launch) of Splatoon apparel in Girls Mode 3, Nintendo has shared official images of the different crossover items. You can take a look at the new photos in the gallery below.

Over the past couple of weeks, Austin has been playing the heck out of Splatoon. The game has a bunch of neat details, and he’s picked up on a few of them that fans might be interested in.

Our third video takes a look at Splatoon’s interesting Miiverse usage. Give it a look below.

Update 2 (5/27): Bumped to the top. Third collaboration image is in the gallery below, as well as two high-quality shots of the previous ones (although they seem to be a bit cropped).

The latest issue of Famitsu features a special collaboration illustration. As shown above, a new piece of art was specially drawn as a crossover between Splatoon and Ika Musume, otherwise known as Squid Girl.

Squid Girl has seen serialization as a manga since 2007. It features a girl of the same name, who sets out to take revenge against mankind for polluting the ocean.
