It’s that week we’ve all been waiting for! Splatoon launches on the Wii U eShop tomorrow, May 29, alongside Don’t Starve: Giant Edition. Splatoon is Nintendo’s newest IP, featuring Inklings ready to wipe out the Octarian invasion. Here’s a look at everything releasing on the Nintendo eShop for both Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, including the wrap up of Capcom’s Mega May event for the Wii U virtual console.
Nintendo eShop on Wii U
Splatoon – Available May 29 – Splatter enemies and claim your turf as ink-spraying, squid-like Inklings in Nintendo’s new mess fest! Challenge players online in chaotic four-on-four turf wars, and unleash squid powers to ink your way to victory. In these all-out online turf wars, you’ll need ink blasters, ink rollers, ink bombs and squid power on your side! Every splat of ink you spray gives you a chance to transform into a squid and hide, climb walls or travel at super speed. Rank up in online battles to unlock new weapons and fresh gear for your Inkling, complete with unique game-play perks. Or earn your stripes in the single-player mode to stop an evil octopus army that has kidnapped the electric catfish used to power the city of Inkopolis! This underground adventure has octopi to splatter, ink puzzles to solve and bosses to beat. No time to blink – prepare to ink!
Don’t Starve: Giant Edition – Fight, farm, craft, scavenge and do whatever it takes to survive in a wilderness filled with science, magic and things that go bump in the night. Randomly generated worlds and the constant threat of permadeath will keep you on your toes. But luckily, your trusty Wii U GamePad controller will be with you to display your inventory and map. Don’t Starve: Giant Edition will also launch with a special promotion: Customers who purchase the game will receive a bonus code for the full game that they can give to a friend.
