Nintendo news of 07/05/2015:
- The Splatoon Direct that took place today talked a lot about the games mechanics, customizables, and levels! A demo (which will be playable this weekend [Hopefully more than just this weekend]) is out now. And they said the game will be updated, with free DLC, throughout the summer! Here's a recap, if you wanna read more about the game.
- Are you colorblind, and want to play Splatoon? Do not worry, as Nintendo already thought of that! A color-lock feature should help you with that!
- Mega-May lineup revealed! A new Megaman game hitting the VC each week... I don't know if these are considered good or bad in the MM community...
- Mario Kart producer, Hideki Konno, will be in charge of Nintendo's mobile game development!
- Today also took place Nintendo's financial results, which showed a positive fiscal year (the first since 2011). Wii U HW numbers are at 9.54 million units, while 3DS are at 52.06 million units.

Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
