Nintendo produces a special handbook for company employees each year. For us, the highlight is undoubtedly the amazing art and other images included inside.

We now have a look at the 2018 version. You can check out a few photos in the gallery below.

We may as well mention that some folks are speculating about Nintendo possibly showing designs for upcoming Super Mario Odyssey costumes in one of the pages. It remains to be seen if that’s the case, but at least the art is lovely.

Another Splatfest in Splatoon has come to an end. The latest event was particularly interesting as the same theme was held in both North America and Europe, and the results were combined.

Nintendo asked players what came first: the chicken or the egg. Team Egg was more popular, but Team Chicken had a higher winning percentage for both solo and team battles. Because of that, Team Egg prevailed by a score of 2 – 1.

Last month, we heard that Oh… Sir! The Hollywood Roast had been pulled from the North American Switch eShop. Now Good Shephard Entertainment has clarified why.

As we’ve seen with a few titles in the past, the game’s removal can be attributed to a ratings update.Good Shephard Entertainment confirmed on Twitter:
