Super Mario Maker won’t be launching until next week, but someone as already uploaded a video showing all of the different costumes in the game. If you’d like to see it, head past the break.

The fifth Japanese Splatfest in Splatoon is happening next weekend, Nintendo has announced.

This new competition has boke and tsukkomi sides facing off. In Japanese comedy, “boke” is kind of like the “funny man” while “tsukkomi” is comparable to the “straight man”.

Japan’s new Splatfest will begin on Saturday at 12 PM. Similar to previous events, it will run for a full day.
