Splatoon 2’s First Paid DLC ‘Octo’ Will Be A Single-Player Story

While Splatoon 2 is obviously a great and fun multiplayer game, for those who are wishing for a bit more single-player content, you might be interested to learn that during the Nintendo Direct presentation, the company announced Splatoon 2’s first paid DLC called “Octo” which will be introducing new single-player content.

This is an interesting approach because like we said, Splatoon 2 is a great multiplayer game so we would have expected Nintendo to launch something more multiplayer related. However we suppose single-player content is fine too and will be introducing a new character called “Octo”. The DLC is priced at $19.99 and is currently available for pre-order where it will be released this coming summer.

For those wondering about the multiplayer aspect of the game or content that isn’t linked to a paid DLC, not to worry as Nintendo also announced a major update that will be arriving for the game. This will bump the game up to version 3.0 and will introduced over 100 new pieces of gear, more stages, and a new rank that players can look forward to. If you have a few minutes to spare, you can check out the video above for the trailer for the upcoming DLC as well as some of the other content that Nintendo has planned for the game.

Taiko Drum Master For Nintendo Switch Announced

If you’re a fan of rhythm games, chances are you might be familiar with Bandai Namco’s Taiko Drum Master. The good news is that it looks like it will be arriving on the Switch, as announced during the most recent Nintendo Direct presentation where it will be known as Taiko Drum Master: Nintendo Switch Version.

Sounds good, doesn’t it? In fact it seems that in the trailer above, there will be songs from Super Mario Odyssey and Splatoon 2, further tying the game with some of Nintendo’s more recent and successful launches. The game will also feature HD Rumble and players will be able to use their Joy-Cons as drumsticks. Unfortunately the game appears to be only available for Japan where it will be launched this summer.

While the Switch does not feature region-locking and users should have no issue creating a Japanese account, the fact that it is exclusive to Japan means that the entire game will be in Japanese. This means that if you don’t read or understand Japanese, you might have a hard time trying to figure the menu out.

It’s not exactly a deal-breaker as we’re sure that eventually there will be guides on how to navigate the game, but it’s something to think about if you decided to go ahead and get it. No word on whether Bandai Namco will eventually localize it, but chances are slim considering that the last localized Taiko Drum Master title was launched on the PS2 back in 2004.

Neotec II makes it easy to communicate while riding

neotec-2We all know that riding a motorbike can be a very exhilarating experience, when you have the cool breeze flying in your face as you zip by a gridlock of vehicles. Well, it goes without saying that wearing a helmet is of utmost importance in terms of safety, since your skull might be hard enough to handle some minor knocks, but a full-on collision? Good luck with that. Sena and Shoei have decided to bring together their respective fields of expertise by unveiling the Neotec II, an all-new motorbike helmet that is perfect for communications while you are on the road.

The SRL Communication System for the Neotec II is truly unique, since this is a specially developed, SENA-exclusive SRL Bluetooth Communication System that was specially designed for seamless integration with such a helmet. When installed, the SRL is virtually undetectable when seen from the outside of the helmet, and it requires just three buttons to control it overall. You will be able to chat with other riders through a Bluetooth intercom, or tune in to your favorite music, and even hear turn-by-turn GPS directions, among others, using the the SRL.

The Neotec II comes across as an every-occasion helmet that has the adaptability to excel regardless of where your next journey brings you. It will boast of a convenient “flip-up” versatility that makes it a true two-in-one helmet merged with next-level aerodynamics, an internal sun shield, Pinlock EVO fog-resistant system, and the ability to seamlessly integrate with the all-new SENA SRL (SHOEI Rider Link) Communication System, making the Neotec II one of the pinnacles of modular helmet design when it comes to today’s discerning hybrid motorcyclists.

Moichi Tsuzuki, President of SHOEI North America, shared, “We are excited to see Sena introduce a truly integrated communication system that has been specially designed for the Neotec II. The fact that there is no compromise to the appearance of our helmet nor the aerodynamic performance, including wind noise, is very exciting! Sena’s well-known history and innovative product design will no doubt positively enhance each rider’s experience on any journey.”
