Splatoon is doing very, very well in Japan. Because of the game’s strong sales, the game has been tough to find on store shelves. Nintendo even issued an apology on its Twitter account last week, and vowed to ship more copies in the coming days.

We’re now hearing that Splatoon managed to sell through over 90 percent of its initial shipment in Japan. That isn’t confirmed just yet, but it wouldn’t be terribly shocking based on reports of how its selling out at various stores. This would also likely mean that Splatoon sold somewhere in the range of 150,000 copies in Japan. We should be receiving official data on Wednesday!

Nintendo has revealed a new costume (along with a corresponding hat) for the Mii Gunner in Smash Bros., which is coming to both the Wii U and 3DS versions of the game. This one is based on K.K. Slider from the Animal Crossing series.

In Japan, the costume will be distributed via 7-Eleven between June 19 and July 11. Players will need to visit their local outlet with their 3DS system.

The K.K. Slider costume also seems to be heading west, but the Smash Bros. website simply lists a “TBD” date for its availability.
