Luna Blaster Weapon Arriving Tomorrow For Splatoon

Splat

Splat

Ulala character DLC for Splatoon confirmed!

Pikmin gun. Nice!

That's the gun that was already shown in the video for Splatterfest It will be pretty funny in Ranked Battle Running to the action zone and make it rain, make it rain baby!

A blaster, huh? Not an easy weapon type, but unbelievably powerful in the right hands. I wonder how different this one's gonna be compared to the ones already available...

SPLATOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!

I really like the regular Blaster weapon, so this one will be interesting to use!

This is another cool blaster weapon type. I wish they would release more balanced weapons (i.e. balanced stats) however, because there seems to be a lot of very specified (i.e. all points in one stat) weapons but not many balanced ones save for the Splattershot and other starters.

Not a fan of the blasters, but a new weapon is still cool.

Can anyone explain to me why they decided to withhold content and release it like this?

@Frank-The-Tank
To keep it fresh until the big update.

Guys it's called the luna BLASTER obviously it's like a blaster, have you even played the game I can't wait to see what variation it offers, blaster is my 3rd fav weapon for Splat Zones!

I wonder if they kept some of these weapons for when enough folk have levelled up and gained a better understanding of how to use them effectively.
Regardless I think if nintendo has a sustained future in the industry then well look back a decade or so from now and point to splatoon as the true success story to come out of the wii u.

@Frank-The-Tank

Wii U release schedule in NA:

May - Splatoon
June - Splatoon
July - Splatoon
Aug - Splatoon
Sept - Super Mario Maker
Oct - Yoshi Wooly World

Kinda reminds me of Space Channel 5

I'll definitely have to try this out tomorrow evening. Shame I'm always asleep when a new weapon appears.

@rjejr when Nintendo reads your comment, they'll count it as 6 different games, and then they'll be impressed with themselves.

I'm not a huge fan of the blasters, but I like the look of this one so I'll have to give it a... SHOT

All these new primary weapons are cool, but I wonder if they'll release any new sub/special weapons too.

Yes what sevex said, it would be cool to see some new sub/special weapons too wirh these new weapons.

so it will cost me 0 gold to get at the weapon shop? sweet thanks nintendo life....

wait no it won't be free? fml

@Frank-The-Tank It helps the community get used to and try out the current selection of weapons/stages/modes. Similar to other shooting games, if you release everything at once only certain stages and weapons are ever used and people won't try out what they are unfamiliar (not as good) with. If this content is given to everyone at the same time and we are only allowed to play two random stages at a time, people are moved out of their comfort zones. Also if new content is given out freely over the course of several months people will continue to play the game instead of giving up on it after a short time.

That... and the game wasn't ready yet.

@Nico07 The game was ready because all of the new content has been on disk so far. I like it though as it keeps the game fresh.

Samurai Chronicles was like this on the 3DS and I used to look forward to each weeks new content . It really does keep a game fresh, and if their not charging for it that's great. Releasing content that should have been in the game and charging for IIT would be something else altogether.

I was really against how they are handling DLC before I bought the game and disliked it when people defended them. But now that I've had the game for a few weeks I have to say it is pretty smart of them. My biggest complaint now is only having 2 maps to play on every 4 hours. I think there are enough maps now to include one in that third slot, Nintendo! Or just have all them all there and let the game randomly choose which map to play on each game.

JAPANESE TRANSLATED TO: (June 24 11:00 tomorrow , new weapon " Nova Blaster " is added .
Range it 's a short but blaster that specializes also broad short-range combat fast explosion range fire .
Distant opponent 's pick off accumulating your special in the " super shot" .
Sub 's " trap ")

@zeldagaymer93 I agree about the maps. Either three instead of two or have a shorter slot mabey like every hour or two.

Neat.

@Raptor78 they could do a voting system like mario kart 8 over random maps

@Raptor78

Once the final two stages Camp Triggerfish and Moray Towers are released, I imagine that the rotation will change to three at a time. If you look at the interface that displays the current stages, there is room for a third.

Seems a lot like the blaster so Ill try it.

I just got and started playing Splatoon this past weekend. It's been alot of fun, and i look forward to the update! I also don't mind the lil updates when they are free. It gives you something to look foward to. Though at this point im still catching up.
