On my signal, unleash ink
Nintendo have put out ateaser tweetthat appears to be hyping nothing more than a single item in their popular Switch shooterSplatoon 2.
Thetweetreferences upcoming new weapon, the Nautilus 47, a rapid-firing, mini-gun-esque blaster. However, the Nautilus will house a very particular mechanic in that it allows players to hold and store their charge, giving trigger happy Squid Kids and Octolings the ability to save up a barrage of shots, swim into the heat of battle, then unleash a powerful volley of ink instantly. Scary stuff.
There is currently no date for the Nautilus 47’s release, but perhaps it will arrive in time for this weekend’s upcoming civil war, a foolish venture which will seeSquids take on Ocotopiin a badly-timed splatfest. Speaking of splatfests, hosts Off the Hookfinallygot their long-awaited amiibo release. You can check out my unboxing video of the musical twosomeright here.Splatoon 2is available now on Nintendo Switch.
The Nautilus 47 is a new Splatling type weapon with a difference – it allows you to store your charge! It’s coming to#Splatoon2in a future update.pic.twitter.com/W3bIyhYQpr
