The 12th North American Splatfest in Splatoon has now come to an end. Who came out on top: those who’d prefer to build a snowman or a sandcastle?

This was a close match all the way around. Team Snowman had a slight edge in popularity, but Team Sandcastle saw slightly more wins. Because they did win more of the battles, Team Sandcastle prevailed. The final score was 359 to 341.

Rage quitting in Pokken Tournament may not be the best idea. If you happen to leave an online match before it finishes, you’ll be docked with a bit of a penalty.

The image above is what you’ll first see from Nia, your in-game trainer, when you give Pokken Tournament’s online play a shot for the first time. She’ll mention that leaving during the middle of a match is rude, and you’ll be given a penalty.

So what happens if you don’t listen to her advice? You’ll lose some Poke Gold, the in-game currency used to buy cosmetic items.
