If you use the Carbon Roller enough, does it turn into diamonds?

Two new weapons are headed to Splatoon at standard update time tonight.

For short range combat specialists, the quick Carbon Roller will be available. Its high speed is to be balanced by a light ink toss, but it should get around the map quickly. The subweapon is the Burst Bomb, and the special is the Inkzooka.

The Tomonobu Itagaki-led Wii U game has a release date in every other region except for America.

As of E3 2015, Nintendo of America had nothing to report regarding the release of Devil's Third on Wii U in North America.

"I don't have anything for you on Devil's Third. Sorry," said Charlie Scibetta, Nintendo of America's Senior Director of Corporate Communications during an E3 2015 interview when we asked about the status of the game that Nintendo rescued from the ruins of THQ last year.

It's hard to tell if they're encouraging Casual mode or not.

The Japanese release of Fire Emblem Fates has prompted the release of the newest Iwata Asks interview with the development team.

Among the things discussed in the interview are how the story was designed by famous Japanese writer Shin Kibayashi, who wrote 500 pages for just the Birthright version's text, and also helped create the 3rd storyline:

Roughly 5% larger than Super Mario World by exits.

Those without internet connections will still have plenty of fun with Super Mario Maker, according to a listing on Nintendo's UK website.

The website has a quote stating that the game will ship with "100 courses included that you can play without an internet connection". The Best Buy and E3 demos... Read more...

Spoilers: Team Cat carried to the win thanks to Louie.

After some... ahem, tentacle difficulties... with matchmaking were resolved, the war of cats v dogs will blow up on July 4.

The first Splatfest event, originally scheduled for June 20 before some matchmaking issues necessitated a last-minute delay, will go down on Independence Day from 12 a.m. PT/3 a.m. ET and last until 12 a.m. PT / 3 a.m. ET on July 5.

The GG Series: The Temptation 2007 of the Nintendo download posts.

I'm an old game show fan, and one of the most memorable moments in game show history came on the first playing of The Price is Right's most immortal game, Plinko. During the explanation of how the game got its name, Bob Barker infamously said "Some of our people drink."

I relate this anecdote because it's the only reason why there are NINE DSiWare releases today in the GG Series (because who else).

And also how one brave Nintendo producer traveled around Japan to meet with snack food companies.

The world of Chibi-Robo: Zip Lash is populated by all sorts of snacks, ranging from pocky to Utz potato chips. Just how exactly did branded snack foods wind up in Chibi-Robo's world?

"We were trying to think of ways to express [how tiny Chibi-Robo is] to give you a point of reference to show you... Read more...

In the name of the moon, I will splat you!

Another new weapon hits Splatoon this evening at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT, as the Luna Blaster will become available.

According to the experts at the the Squid Research Lab, the Luna Blaster is a rapid-fire weapon with explosive impact, but is more of a short range weapon. Ink Mines will be the sub-weapon, while the special move is the longer-range Inkzooka.

Nintendo's Kensuke Tanabe ponders the idea of Olimar and Chibi-Robo meeting up.

In Pikmin and Chibi-Robo, Nintendo has two franchises where dimunitive heroes get by in a large world peppered with real-life objects. Maybe the two universes could collide someday?

"That's an interesting idea, and something I could speak to Mr Miyamoto about a collaboration," Nintendo Producer Kensuke Tanabe told us when we asked if Olimar and the Pikmin could ever run into Chibi-Robo.

If you need speed and collisions, there's nobody better than Criterion.

According to Nintendo Life plans were in the works to have a F-Zero vertical slice at the Wii U's reveal, developed by Criterion.

Per an anonymous source, Nintendo of Europe approached Criterion, makers of the Burnout series and 2013's Need for Speed Most Wanted U to prepare a playable teaser of the game for E3 2011. Criterion had to decline due to time, according to former studio head Alex Ward.

First they come for the Chrono Triggers, then they come for the unicorns.

We thought this would be a catchup day for smaller bits of E3 news, but a couple of things have crossed the news desk that we didn't expect.

After a few months of rumors, GameStop has begun to sell NES, SNES and N64 games and systems online.

Nintendo and Skip decided it was time for a more action-packed mini robot.

The platforming debut of Chibi-Robo all came from developer Skip's idea of having the miniature robot spin his cord around his head and be active.

"That was sort of our hint to focus on the action types of things," Nintendo Producer Risa Tabata said in an interview at E3 2015.

The article translated by Nintendo Everything reveals that the Wind Waker content will be after the credits of the Legend mode, as a playable epilogue. More new characters than Tetra and King of Red Lions are also planned to be added, and StreetPass will be available in the Adventure Mode.

Developing a Prime's worth of content takes time.

If there is a Metroid Prime for home consoles in development, it will target the next Nintendo console.

Metroid Prime series produced Kensuke Tanabe spoke to Eurogamer at E3, and confirmed that the time to develop the amount of content in a Metroid Prime game would take several years.

"It's a long time but it would need to include a lot of content, which would take a lot of work on the development side." - Kensuke Tanabe
