Another New Weapon Revealed for Splatoon

The official Japanese Twitter account for Splatoon has revealed yet another new weapon for the Wii U third-person shooter.

The vibrant, colourful new IP from Nintendo sees players duking it out with buckets of paint in heated arena matches. In addition to the recently revealed roller, there'll also be a meatier weapon, dealing more explosive shots to unsuspecting enemies. 

It certainly doesn't look like something that players would want to be standing infront of during a close-knit match!

このブキは「ホットブラスター」。 花火のように一定距離飛んで爆発する特殊なインク弾を発射するブキだそうだ。 爆発は広範囲を攻撃できるので、物陰に隠れた相手を狙うこともできる。 使いこなすには、相手との間合いの取り方が重要になりそうだ。 pic.twitter.com/aEqCwioPZ8
