The results of Splatoon’s second North American Splatfest came in earlier today. It has since been revealed how the competition in Europe played out.

In the second European Splatfest, eating was pitted against sleeping. Eating received more of the votes, which ultimately propelled that side to victory. Sleeping did have slightly more wins – 52 percent compared to 48 percent for eating.

The final tally was 159 points for eating and 141 points for sleeping.

We’ve been seeing all sorts of tributes and honors going out for Satoru Iwata over the past week. The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses Master Quest concert also paid tribute with a moment of silence yesterday. YouTube user “GrahamdyAker” recorded it, which you can watch below.

Update (7/19): Bumped to the top. Serebii has now posted an additional sketch that is apparently a bit more accurate. See below.

The latest Pokemon film, Pokemon the Movie: Hoopa and the Clash of Ages, finally opened in Japan today. During a trailer for next year’s movie, there are reports that something new was shown.

Serebii says it had “bright green with one eye larger than the other.” The site goes on to say that “its eye looked through the O of the word Pokemon and then it blobbed about.” That was all topped off with the large new Pokemon silhouette that was shown on July 12.

We’re not entirely sure what this new Pokemon is at present. An alternate form is a possibility, but it could also be something new.

There are a few rough sketches attached to this post. They should give you a general idea as to what the Pokemon looked like.

Splatoon’s second North American Splatfest has come to a close, and the winners are in.

The most recent battle had roller coasters facing off against water slides. Ultimately, it was roller coasters that came out victorious.

Water slides took home a slight edge in popularity (54 percent versus 46 percent). However, roller coasters ended up with 53 percent of the wins. That propelled roller coasters to an overall score of 152 points whereas water slides collected 148 points. It was an exceptionally close battle!

The June 2015 NPD report was issued on Thursday. However, as usual, numbers were not revealed. Nintendo did say that combined Wii U and 3DS hardware sales rose by more than 20 percent over the same time frame in 2014, but we didn’t have a specific figure – until now that is.

Rough estimates indicate that the Wii U sold 70,000 units in the U.S. last month. That number is largely based on the information Nintendo provided as well as the chart below supplied by “creamsugar”, who often leaks NPD data.

Wii U was estimated to have sold around 43,000 units in the U.S. during the month of May. That would mean that the console saw a slight bump during June.
