Splatoon’s fifth North American Splatfest will take place next weekend, Nintendo has revealed.

In the new competition, art and science will face off. Here’s the official notice from the Splatoon Tumblr:

“The next Splatfest draws near! Next week, we pit art against science! Now, we here at the Squid Research Lab know that you’re a talented bunch of artists. We’ve seen what you can do in art contests, on Miiverse and, not to mention, all the rad fan art uploaded to Tumblr! It seems at first glance that art will have no problem taking it all. BUT! When you think about all the greats hanging out on the science side (Bill Nye! Neil deGrasse Tyson! Beakman!), it’s not hard to see how science could win this one!”

This new Splatfest will kick off on September 18 at 9 PM PT (12 AM ET on September 19). It will last through the following day.

Back in July, Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon was featured in a live stream. The same thing will once again be happening on September 16.

Other Pokemon games like Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire will also be shown during the stream. But since we really only care about Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon – the new game here – this is when it will be highlighted on the broadcast:

– 5 AM PT
– 8 AM ET
– 10 AM in the UK
– 11 AM in Europe

The stream will be hosted on Niconico here.

I also wanted to mention that Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda put up a tweet recently about a tease for the Pokemon anime. News will be announced in the upcoming issue of CoroCoro, though it will also be on TV Tokyo next Tuesday. We should be hearing about the silhouetted Pokemon from the movie trailer. We’ll let you know if anything else comes in!

Players can unlock a CRT mode in Super Mario Maker by using the 30th Anniversary Mario amiibo. However, that’s not the only way.

There’s a simple code that can be used to unlock the CRT mode. On the level’s loading screen, simply hold down on the d-pad and press B and A together. That’s it!
