Ryu not confirmed (yet)
It’s seems that Nintendo may have once again let some of their future plans slip out through the magic of hidden data. Some hard working hackers have found content in Splatoon’s code that reveals two yet unreleased stages (Camp and Skyscraper) as well as 33 yet unreleased weapons. They also found data that shows us more of the previously announced Tower Defense and Rain Maker modes. Tower Defense appears to be a mode where teams work to keep one small structure painted with their color, while Rain Maker looks to involve something that looks like the Zap Fish stage ending targets from the game’s single player campaign. That’s all just speculation though.
Perhaps the most curious content found hidden away here are two files called “wiimario_title_logo”. Many fans are hoping these files will be a part of some kind of Splatoon and Mario crossover, though it could just as well be junk data that will never be used for anything. And of course, this whole thing could be just another elaborate fake. We should know for sure no later than August, when Splatoon‘s big update is planned for release.
Here’s a list of the rumored weapons. I’m particularly curious about the Gatling Hyper and the Bamboozler.
