Nintendo held the first Splatfest for Splatoon in Japan this weekend. It’s finished now, and Nintendo has gone ahead and announced the results.

Splatoon players were asked to choose between one of two sides. They could either vote for rice or bread as their favorite breakfast meal.

The official Japnaese Splatoon Twitter account reveals that rice came out on top with 57 percent of the vote. Bread nabbed just 43 percent.

Nintendo acknowledged that some players were experiencing connection issues during the Splatfest, which seemed to cause problems more for rice representatives. The company apologized for the trouble.

Thanks to the latest leaks from creamsugar – a person who is known for having access to NPD data – we now know how many Wii U consoles were sold in the U.S. during the month of May. Between May 1 and May 30, Nintendo moved roughly 42,500 units. That’s essentially the same amount as Wii U’s performance in April, when the console’s sales came in at 43,000 units.

We also have data for a pair of 3DS titles. First, Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition sold under 32,000 copies in the U.S. last month. Meanwhile, Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker’s sales came in at under 23,000 units.
