Have you wondered who the composer is behind Splatoon’s music? It’s none other than Toru Minegishi, according to the 245th of Nintendo Dream.
Minegishi is a well-known composer at Nintendo having spent over 15 years at the company. He has worked on Zelda games (Majora’s Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and the DS games), Animal Crossing, Super Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D World, and more.
Minegishi has typically worked with other composers. Splatoon might be the first game where he is the only person responsible for the soundtrack.

Fry’s has stated on its Twitter account that it will not be taking pre-orders for The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D Limited Edition. Whether or not the retailer intends to sell any stock at all once the game is released is unclear.
Fry’s Twitter post states:
@metalgario35 Unfortunately there was confusion about the special edition being available for pre-order. Only the regular edition will be -B

Nintendo originally said that Amazon, GameStop, and Fry’s would be the exclusive retailers selling the Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D Limited Edition. However, Best Buy ended up opening pre-orders for a short time a few days ago. Perhaps Nintendo mixed up Fry’s with Best Buy?
Thanks to James for the tip.
