The first North American Slatfest for Splatoon was set to take place this weekend. Unfortunately, Nintendo has now announced that it has been postponed.

Writing on Twitter, Nintendo explained that a matchmaking issue was found with the first Japanese Splatfest, which caused long wait times. The company wants to resolve it before going live with the North American Splatfest.

A new date for the North American Splatfest hasn’t been revealed. However, information is promised “soon.”

It’s been well publicized this week that Nintendo teamed up with The Jim Henson Company for this year’s Digital Event. They were behind the Shigeru Miyamoto, Satoru Iwata, and Reggie Fils-Aime puppets in the show.

Although we’re starting to turn the page on E3, there’s at least one more goodie that Nintendo will be sharing soon. Miyamoto met with Brian Henson, and the two discussed the creation and design of the puppets.

Nintendo wrote on its Facebook page today:

When visiting Henson Studios during E3, Mr. Miyamoto met with Brian Henson to discuss creating and designing the Nintendo puppets. Stay tuned for the interview coming soon!

Throughout E3, we’ve heard that Zelda: Tri Force Heroes’ co-op only allows for either three players to team up together, or for one person to go through the game alone. Two players is not an option unless you want to experience the optional Colosseum mode.

Wondering what happens if you’re playing with friends and one of them drops out or quits? Well, director Hiromasa Shikata told Kotaku that you’ll be presented with a game over screen. On the bright side, your progress will be saved.
