Splatoon

Splatoon, the third person shooter developed by Nintendo now available in all regions on Wii U, may have been released lacking some features but there’s no denying that the team has been working hard to fix this lack. And more is going to come soon for the game, as the Japanese company confirmed earlier today that a new Splatoon update is going to be released next week.

The next Splatoon update, the 1.3.0 update, is going to be released next week, on July 1st. Unfortunately we don’t know precisely what this Splatoon update will include other than some unspecified balance tweaks and fixes for matchmaking. Just like for previous updates, the Splatoon update 1.3.0 is going to be required for online play.

The previous Splatoon update has been released earlier this month. The 1.2.0 update included several gameplay tweaks which improved the experience. The first Splatoon update, which has been released right after launch, added the Port Mackerel map and the Ranked Battle mode.

In the past few weeks, Splatoon has been receiving some extra content that wasn’t included in the game at launch. Among the new content are several new weapons like the Inkbrush weapon which further expand the gameplay experience of Nintendo’s third person shooter. This weapon in particular is a unique take on the standard roller weapon that has been shown in the game’s pre-launch promotional material, so much that many thought the weapon would be included in the game from the start. That wasn’t the case, unfortunately, but Nintendo soon fixed this small issue.

Splatoon is now available in all regions exclusively on Wii U. We will let you know more about the next Splatoon update and what it’s actually going to introduce in the game as soon as more comes in on it so stay tuned for all the latest news on Nintendo’s third person shooter.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
