N-ZAP '85

The N-ZAP '85 is a main weapon in Splatoon and Splatoon 2. It highly resembles the original North American NES Zapper, an accessory for the Nintendo Entertainment System released in 1985, hence its name.

Splatoon
The N-ZAP '85 was the first weapon to be added post-release. It was released on 2015-06-01 alongside the stage Port Mackerel and Ranked Battles. It's weaker than the Splattershot but it makes up for it with a higher rate of fire. It comes with Splat Bombs and the Echolocator.
