The new update for the Nintendo Wii U exclusive Splatoon is now live and ready to download. Er, actually, scrap that last part - it's already on your game disc.

The new update for the Nintendo Wii U exclusive Splatoon is now live and ready to download. Er, actually, scrap that last part - it’s already on your game disc.
Yep, the update has gone live but your bandwidth needn’t suffer as the content - for reasons unknown - is actually already on the disc just waiting for this day to come. How very strange.
The new update adds a new map, a new weapon in the form of the NES Zapper gun (re-purposed to fire ink) and ranked play for those who like to get competitive.
It’s definitely an odd decision by Nintendo to lock the content on the disc behind a timer, but the content is free anyway so it’s all good.
