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…

There’s been a bit of concern and consternation over some of Splatoon 2’s latest gear. While the game has drowned fans in free updates and equipment in the past, this latest batch (born via a fan contest with Japanese magazine and Pokémon infomine CoroCoro) has some squid kids in a…
The Splatoon 2 Springest has come to a close, meaning no more pastel ink and so long to widespread confusion over how to play the latest Shifty Station. The Tortoise and the Hare inspiration may’ve made people think this’d be a total terrapin takeover, but to that I say slow…
I’ve been on a big Splatoon kick lately, rising back up the ranks and splatting Salmonids after a months-long break that just happened to coincide with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s launch. Go figure. The real test is about to start though, as this weekend’s bringing on a new, extra special…
Splatoon 2’s release onto the Switch in 2017 allowed Nintendo’s beloved ink slinging smackdown to be played and enjoyed by a bigger fanbase. Those who became smitten with the first game were treated to some original Splatoon goodness when Dark Horse released the localized edition of The Art of Splatoon….
Splatoon’s sea creature style is full of little elements that pull everything together and make the games truly unique, with one of those being Inkling smartphones having more of a squid shape to them. Does it make sense? Not really — we don’t talk into tiny people-shaped computers. But it’s…
Another big Splatfest is on the way with Splatoon 2’s Spring Fest, and just like with previous events and holidays some fresh, new gear is up for grabs. This time around it’s not just headgear though, but a selection of new shoes modeled after Off the Hook themselves! These limited…

This coming weekend, Splatoon 2 will be pitting two ancient Classes against each other – the chivalrous Knights and the spell-casting wizards. To mark the coming occasion, once again some fresh artwork has been released, this time showing Pearl as the Knight and Marina as the Wizard, facing off against…
Though it’s not yet time to take up your sword or staff, Splatoon 2’s been updated to Version 4.5.0 ahead of the soon-to-be Splatfest. The bulk of this one is tweaking a whole lot of weapons and sub-weapons, with some specials and gear abilities seeing a little work as well….
Company San-ei Boeki has revealed via their Twitter account (and a hearty signal boost from Japanese Nintendo) that new Pearl and Marina plushies will be super-jumping to store shelves soon.
