Several updates from splatoonus ( the US splatoon tumblr )From old to newCrispy calamari! Some new footage of our favorite squid creatures was just revealed via Nintendo Direct! It appears to show their home-base area, and also confirms the existence of other life-forms living there! This will no doubt lead our researchers to all sorts of tantalizing new breakthroughs. Such exciting times!Breaking news! We just received this urgent text message from one of our senior interns: OMG SPLATOON RELEASE MAY 2015! Im not exactly sure what this means, but apparently it was announced in the most recent Nintendo Direct. Its really gotten our researchers in a tizzy! Also, the so-called king of squids, the bigfin reef squid, tends to make appearances in May. What a great month for squid fans everywhere!This just in! Weve now learned that most of the crazy squid creatures weve been studying call this city home. The central plaza is apparently a favorite hangout for all of the hip-and-happening squid folk. If this were Tokyo, the plaza would sort of be like Shibuya. I guess their cities arent so different from our own!New info coming at ya! Weve just received confirmation that this tower is a very important landmark in the plaza area. Our undercover interns have observed the squid creatures entering the base of the tower to play in turf-war battles online! Now it makes sense why so many squid folk are always hanging out in the plaza. How fascinating!Hot new nugget! Our researchers have identified four shops in the squid plazas shopping district: a weapons shop, a headgear shop, a clothing shop, and a shoe shop. The items in stock at the clothing, headgear, and shoe shops apparently change from day to day, so be sure to check back frequently!Breaking news! Weve now learned that the amount of in-game currency these crazy squids get from each match is tied to how much turf they cover with ink. So if you want the hottest fashions, youd better get busy during battle!
