Tonight you’ll be able to unlock a weapon called the N-ZAP85, which is a tribute to the light gun peripheral called the Zapper for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Nintendo says that the N-ZAP85 is a “rapid-fire shooter with some impressive ink efficiency.” It also comes with a Splat Bombs and an Echo-locator special weapon. The new map is called Port Mackerel, which will be set on a dock.
The game was released May 29th, do you find it odd that DLC is already on the way?
