Hardcore Gamer: Just today, Splatoon has announced the final two weapons coming to Sheldon’s Picks Vol. 2 on June 7. Nintendo has steadily been showing off what is to be expected in the next update. Take a look at final firearms coming to the game.

Nintendo has recently restored Wii U Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon online after five months of being offline.

Game Rant Writes "Mar10 Day is a fun yearly celebration of the Super Mario series, and Splatoon may warrant a fan-designated day of celebration in its own right."

How, exactly, did Splatoon reach heights rivalled only by Pokémon in Japan? New IPs from the House of Mario appear as often as shiny Pocket Monsters, yet typically move comparatively mediocre numbers or fall into relative obscurity behind the premium marques of Mario, Animal Crossing, Zelda, and Pokémon. Take Pikmin and ARMS, for example, which we adore but struggle to compete with the tentpole franchises when it comes to sales numbers or mainstream mindshare.
So, again, how has Splatoon risen to become one of Nintendo's most important series in Japan?
