Nintendo is known for doing things differently, so it should come as no surprise at all to find Splatoon far removed from your typical online shooter. The obvious shake-up is that the weapons the protagonists carry shoot paint instead of hot lead – teams of four complete to coat more ground than the opposition before …
Even with a 50% drop in sales, Nintendo’s delightful Splatoon has managed to remain in the UK top five for a second week. After entering at #2 last week, it now sits at #4. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is still the UK’s number one, making it three weeks on top. Will this week’s LEGO …
Well fancy spat – Wii U-exclusive Splatoon has entered the UK chart at #2. In doing so it becomes the system’s biggest ever launch for a new IP, toppling previous record holder ZombiU. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt sees a 69% drop in sales but remains the UK’s numbero uno for a second week running. …

The doors have closed on another E3. Microsoft proved that they’re committed to turning the Xbox One’s fortunes around; Sony provided a typically strong showing; Nintendo’s belief that it’ll be great games that’ll eventually get the Wii U into more homes was clear to all. Matt, Adam and Jake have picked a clutch of titles …
It would appear that Nintendo called in the Robot Chicken chaps to create a handful of clips for their E3 digital event.
