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.

Another Star Fox Zero interview with Shigeru Miyamoto has popped up online. This time around, there’s a discussion published by TIME. Miyamoto talked about the switch in approach (now like a movie instead of a TV series), appealing to new players, his approach to difficulty, improvements that have been made, and building interest in dogfighting games.

We’ve posted some excerpts from the interview below. More comments from Miyamoto can be found on TIME here.

Splatoon’s latest Japanese Splatfest was once again game-themed. Dragon Quest was featured, with the topic being “Let’s keep going” (think being aggressive) as represented by She-slime versus “Cherish your life” (more along the lines of playing it safe), which was represented by Healslime.

This Splatfest has now drawn to a close, and the results are in. In the end, the Healslime side won thanks to an edge in both wins and popularity. The final score was 366 to 334.
