The first worldwide Splatfest in Splatoon is now over. All regions competed to see if players would rather go to a fancy party or a costume party. We now have the results.

Thanks to slight edges in both votes and wins, Team Fancy Party came out on top. Needless to say, it was extremely close. The final score was 358 points to 342 points.

Having previously made games like Zombie Incident and Words Up! Academy for 3DS, CoderChild is now setting its sights on Wii U. The indie developer is creating 7Nights, a platformer with run-and-gun gameplay which “tells the story of a human being condemned to live doomed for life.” Character customization and outfit selection will play a role in the experience.

Here’s a look at the game:

7Nights has been in development for about seven months. It’ll be a few months before the project is complete between the rest of development, time to master, and remaining work specifically for Wii U.

Short site update I want to sneak in here: we still have a comic coming this weekend, and it should be up tomorrow. Don’s been very busy, but he’s working extremely hard. We appreciate your patience!

It took a few months, but we finally saw the first gameplay trailer for Pokemon Sun/Moon this week. The world was shown, the mascots and boxarts were unveiled, a release date was announced, and… we have a first look at the new starter Pokemon! They are Rowlen, Litten, and Popplio.

What’s everyone making of Pokemon Sun/Moon thus far? Have you already decided on the starter you’ll be going with? Since we’ve seen the legendaries, do you have a better idea about which version you’ll be buying (or both)? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below!
