Just like in Europe, Splatoon’s 12th Splatfest will be held in North America next week. The theme is different in the states though, with players being asked if they’d rather build a snowman or a sand castle.

This new Splatfest will begin on March 19 at 12 AM ET / March 18 at 9 PM PT. It’ll last for a full day, and Nintendo will post the results soon after the competition ends.

Thanks to StreetPass_SW for the tip.

As mentioned a few days ago, this week’s issue of Famitsu revealed Taiko Drum Master: Dokodon! Mystery Adventure for 3DS.

One of the big hooks in this release is a RPG-esque mode called “Mystery Adventure Mode.” We now have more information about what to expect from this aspect of the game.

The story background/objective is to protect the world’s OOPArts. There are two main characters in Mystery Adventure Mode: Tia (the girl) and Popokaka (the monkey). Meanwhile, the antagonists are a mysterious group called Hexagria, who stole a Lion Fang Necklace OOPArt at the beginning of story.
