To promote the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 film, Sega has produced some promotional Genesis cartridges that include EPK (electronic press kit) materials. There’s even a…

Famitsu, Japan’s premier video game magazine, recently held an award ceremony honoring 2015’s finest. Taking the top spot was none other than Nintendo’s Wii U gem Splatoon!

The sixteenth, and final, multiplayer map will be added to Splatoon tonight (1/21) at 6 p.m. PST.

As of October 5th, the Splatoonus Tumblr reports, the portal has made the transition to…
Splatoon’s trickle of post-release content has begun to slow down a bit. Sets of weapons have become singles, and it’s been nearly a month since the last new map, Flounder Heights, joined the lineup. But the summer of Splatoon isn’t over yet, as tonight at 7:00 p.m. PST, Hammerhead Bridge…
