Splatoon Wii U Bundle Confirmed For North America, Launching Next Month
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.
If you’ve been keeping up with the new Fallout show on Amazon Prime, chances are you’ve been relying on PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium to access and enjoy one of Bethesda’s legendary RPGs. We decided to bypass the highly acclaimed Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3, opting instead to explore the vast landscapes of West Virginia in Fallout 76. Infamous for its initial reception, Todd Howard’s “Fallout with Friends” has evolved significantly over the past six years. However, does that imply the game is of high quality? Is it worth playing in 2024?
As we ventured out of Vault 76 for the very first time, we were determined to find the answers to those burning questions. Recalling our escapades on the Push Square YouTube channel, we encountered quest-giving NPCs—a feature that was surprisingly absent upon release—awe-inspiring bases built by fellow players—and an abundance of loot that could easily burden us 76 times over.
In the midst of the vast array of open-world online experiences, we found ourselves quite enthralled by the combination of 50s classics playing in the background as we obliterated the heads of ghouls. And to top it off, we were able to enjoy all of this with our friends. Exploring the wasteland in the company of a ragtag band of survivors adds a unique element to Fallout 76, setting it apart from other games in the series. However, does it manage to prevent us from uninstalling and transitioning to one of the mainline entries in the series? To discover more, be sure to watch the complete video!

The cast of the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 film has added an exciting new addition with the inclusion of Shadow, who will be voiced by the talented Keanu Reeves
After a long wait, it appears that the search for a capable Hollywood actor to bring the brooding Shadow the Hedgehog to life has come to an end. Keanu Reeves, a renowned actor known for his iconic roles in film franchises such as The Matrix and John Wick, as well as his involvement in the highly anticipated game Cyberpunk 2077, has officially been cast for the role.
Speculation has been running wild lately, but The Hollywood Reporter has officially confirmed the casting, citing reliable sources in the know. News of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 being showcased at Cinemacon has quickly spread.
