A new Japanese Twitter account dedicated to relaying information about Splatoon has been available for a few days now and the folks at the NeoGAF forums have been working diligently to translate these tweets to give us some more information about the game. There are a series of interesting tweets containing information we hadn’t known up until now, so hopefully this account will be the source of more information on the game in the future.
“Investigation report from the Squid Research Lab. This mysterious person (sorry, squid) guides the protagonist in Hero Mode. It seems that in the peaceful squid world he is the only man (sorry, squid) that has noticed the plans of the Octopus Corps. Anyway, he’s totally seeing our cameraman here.”
“We have confirmed the existence of various contraptions in Hero Mode. This cannon can shoot powerful ink bullets. Could it be something that the Octopus Corps set up, or was it someone else entirely? Be that as it may, it looks like a rather technologically advanced device.”
“Report from the Squid Research Lab. This guys name is “Denchinamazu” [Lit: Battery Catfish]. This world appears to run on the energy produced by this catfish. The protagonist enters the Octopus Army Corps base alone in order to return the stolen Denchinamazu.”
Does anyone else see Cranky Kong hiding underneath the design of that person.. err.. squid?
