Splatoon

Here’s Some New Splatoon Information

The Japanese Twitter account for Splatoon has been on fire lately delivering some superb screenshots and trickles of information regarding the game. We’ve got a while to wait, but these gorgeous screens should keep you occupied in the meantime.
•While in squid form, Inklings can climb walls
•Walls don’t count toward the result of Turf Battles
•A painted wall might mean that someone climbed up it
•Some inklings can jump like rockets
•This happens when they touched the icon of a team member on the map
•Inklings can move freely while inside their own ink
•When in enemy ink they move slower and can’t become a squid

Wii U - Splatoon Single Player Trailer - 60 FPS

Hey! nice news you got going in here. just wanted to let you know that the news above (Nov 16) were confirmed in E3

Yeah, but they re-clarified it on the Twitter page recently. Is a refresher course really so bad?

The Japanese Splatoon Twitter account has continued to publish new content from the game. Check out a new set of images above, and some new information below.

This image was sent by one of our researchers.
It appears to be a sketch of the Octopus Army Corps Base, which is the setting for Hero Mode. It seems as though it was made using the remains of an ancient civilization. It seems to be using very familiar things…or is it just my imagination?

This is a sketch from the secret investigator. This inkling boy is using a giant paint roller. You can customize all your weapons and clothes; like t-shirts and glasses. Inkling are very fashionable!

In turf battles, you can use special weapons by painting the ground and building up power. Below is one of these, the ‘Barrier’. For a short time, this will rebound all of the opponent’s attacks. It appears that there are other kinds of special weapons to be found as well.

Squidssquirt ink to create a substitute to escape their predators.
It’s an oily substance, difficult to dissolve in water, that becomes a sort of mass.
On the other hand, octopi use ink as a smoke screen. It is water soluble in order to spread.
Like oil and water, even the inks of the two species doesn’t mix.

We have obtained a photograph of one of the fighters in the Octopus Army Corps. They control a hovercraft-like vehicle using the end of their tentacle, while shooting ink from the nozzle. Their attacks are strong, but perhaps they are a little dim; when the hero hides in ink, for these soldiers, it is as though they suddenly disappeared.

It appears that when transformed into squids, the Inklings can pass through wire fences. The can use this special ability to take shortcuts and hidden pathways. However! They must be careful as if they transform while on to of a wire fence, they will fall to the bottom. With that said, what are their bodies made out of that it allows them to do this???

Recently, probably because I’ve been thinking about squids non-stop, I can’t help but notice them everywhere – even at the supermarket.

The other day, I bought a packet of a certain type of calamari for 150 yen. I pan fried it with butter and soy sauce, then dipped it in mayonnaise that was mixed with some ground up chilli pepper seeds. I wonder if it it is alright for something so delicious to exist…..

We received a sketch from one of our researchers. This is a female Inkling with the Charge Shot Gun equipped. This knit cap, with its large decorative badges, makes her look cute…wait, what am I saying? She’s a squid!

This is a report from the Squid Research Lab. We’ve confirmed that the octopi fighters are using several different kinds of equipment. Their shields defend them from attacks, and they can wait in the ink for an ambush. They’ll use all kinds of tricks to get in the hero’s way.

This is another device made by the Octupus Army Corps. Shooting the propellers of this fan-like device with ink will cause the platform’s motor to run. Moving the propellers too fast will sometimes cause enemies to dive onto the platform. You must be cautious when using these platforms.

One of our researchers got their hands on what appears to be blue prints for the Octopus Army’s weapons.
This one will automatically follow any intruders and shower them with a rain-like ink to chase them away. The Inkling’s attacks appear to have no affect on this device. That is one scary weapon….

We received a sketch from one of our researchers.
A giant weapon, created by the Octopus Army Corps, awaits you deep inside their underground base. It appears to use the Battery Catfish as its power source. In order to rescue the poor thing[s] from this fate, you have no choice but to take down the weapon while withstanding its powerful attacks.

Report from the Squid Research Laboratory.
In Turf Battles, the amount of area covered by ink becomes your points. The number of times you knocked out enemies and the number of times you were knocked out is counted to, but these don’t contribute to your score. This means that the ones who spread the most ink are the best.

This is kinda like Sakurai's Super Smash Bros. Pic of the Day thing.
