Nintendo and video games in general.
Here’s a new video showing a nice turnaround in the Piranha Pit level in Splatoon. This was a random turf war battle:
Things weren’t going well for my team. We were losing most of the match, and we were in danger for a good chunk of the time as well. But in the last 10-15 seconds, we turned a losing battle into a lead–and even put the opposing blue team into danger at the end!
Piranha Pit has quickly become one of my favorite maps.
Nintendo released a new Splatoon map tonight, called Ancho-V Games. It is reportedly the last new stage that will be added to the game. It takes place in the offices of a game design company. It has platforms that can rise into the air when fan-like propellers are shot with ink. Here is a gameplay video showing two turf war battles in the stage:
Battles in the large center room can get pretty intense. I don’t think I like the stage as much as I like Piranha Pit (the other recent addition), but maybe it will grown on me as I play it more. But I’m pretty happy that the game now has 16 maps available. That’s pretty significant when you consider the game launched with only a handful of stages. I still haven’t had enough of Splatoon, so I’ll continue playing it for months to come. I’ll also be posting another Splatoon video by next week, so stay tuned for that!
