The latest Japanese Splatfest in Splatoon 2 is over, and the results are in.

Players were asked if they prefer wearing warm inner wear or warm outerwear during the winter. The event pitted Heattech and Ultra Light Down up against each other in collaboration with UNIQLO.

Those who sided with outerwear prevailed in the end by a score of 2-1. Team inner wear managed to win solo battles by 1%, but outerwear secured slight edges in popularity and team battles. Overall, it was very close.

Announced earlier in the week, Mega Man 11 is in development, and is heading to Switch in late 2018. It’s been seven years since the last entry in the series. It was way back in 2010 when Mega Man 10 landed on WiiWare.

In this month’s issue of Game Informer, Mega Man 11 producer Kazuhiro Tsuchiya spoke about the long wait for a new Mega Man. Part of the problem was when Keiji Inafune left.

Yoshiaki Koizumi talked a whole lot about Super Mario Odyssey in a recent interview of 4Gamer. But towards the end of the interview, there was some general talk about Switch as well. Koizumi was not only the producer of Mario Odyssey, but also Nintendo’s latest console on the whole.

As the general producer of Switch, Koizumi thought sales have progressed faster than thought, since he assumed it would take about one or two years for the concept to permeate by having players bring the console outside to introduce it to others. But since it has spread so quickly, he believed they have conveyed it in the right way.
