Splatoon is definitely one of the more interesting games launching in the near future on Wii U in all regions. It’s a unique take on the third person shooter gameplay formula that fans of Nintendo games will surely appreciate.

With the game being Nintendo’s more important launch of the first half of this year, it’s not surprising to learn that a Wii U console bundle including Splatoon has been confirmed for North America.

Earlier today Nintendo has revealed the new Splatoon Wii U bundle, which is going to be available in North America in Best Buy stores and on the Best Buy website next month for the price of $299. The bundle will include a Wii U console, a code to download Splatoon from the Wii U eShop and Nintendo Land installed on the console. This addition is a very welcome one, as Nintendo Land is probably the game that best utilizes the Gamepad’s unique features.

Splatoon has been originally revealed around a year ago during E3 2014. The game is a team based third person shooter where players  control Inklings, unique characters who have the ability to change between human and squid forms. In human form Inklings can shoot colored ink all around the environment while they can swim through ink of their own color while in squid form. The team that manages to color most of the stage with their own color wins.

Even though the Splatoon gameplay experience seems to be mostly geared toward a multiplayer experience, Nintendo hasn’t forgotten all those lone wolves who prefer playing video games alone. The game will also feature a single player campaign mode where players have to reach the end of each stage by battling different enemies, solving puzzles and more. With its different focus on platforming and puzzle solving, the single player adds some welcome diversity to the whole experience.

Splatoon will be released exclusively on Wii U in Japan, North America and Europe on May 29th. The Wii U bundle including the game and Nintendo Land will also be available in Best Buy stores in North America on the same day.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
