The latest North American Splatfest has come to an end. In this week’s event, players were asked which bad holiday gift would you rather receive: sweaters or socks.
All aspects of this Splatfest were very close. Just a few percentage points separated popularity and wins. But in the end, Team Sweater came out on top in each category and won by a score of 3-0.

Nintendo created two new Metroid amiibo tying in with Metroid: Samus Returns – the Metroid itself and a Samus figure. Both were sold in a double pack.
At this point, you can’t really find the Metroid amiibo at retailers. But that could be changing soon. An updated Children’s Product Certificate from Nintendo shows that the 2-pack saw a new run of manufacturing in November. We’ll keep an eye out on any restocks in the future.
Nintendo delivered Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s second DLC pack last week. Now that the game’s development is truly finished (at least that we know of), fans can’t help but wonder what the future holds for the franchise.
As you would expect, Nintendo isn’t ready to delve into any specific plans just yet. However, Breath of the Wild director Hidemaro Fujibayashi and series producer Eiji Aonuma did talk about their mindset going forward.
While journeying through Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you may encounter dogs. They tend to be found at stables and towns.
Dogs aren’t just there to make areas more lively. You can bond with them, they’ll follow you around, and can lead you someplace special. Unfortunately, you can’t actually pet them.
Miitomo has been updated with more content. Users will find returning stages with more items.
“Let’s celebrate! Festive Holiday Fun” is the returning theme. The stages provide the following:
We only found out a few days ago that Jupiter is continuing the Picross e series on 3DS. When the news was discovered, we learned that Picross e8 is hitting the Japanese 3DS eShop on December 20.
As it turns out, North America is getting the game next week as well. Jupiter has confirmed that the title is arriving stateside on December 21 for $5.99.
As for Europe, Jupiter says that Picross e8 will be distributed in Europe, but not until next year.

Payday 2 was announced for Switch during a Nintendo Direct way back in April. This past week, a final release date was shared. The game will be offered both physically and digitally on February 27 in the Americas and February 23 in Europe.
At least for the physical version, we appear to have a price point. GameStop has its product page up at $49.99. The digital version could end up costing that much as well, though we don’t have confirmation on that front for the time being.
After we found out about it over a year ago, The Legend of Dark Witch 3 lands on 3DS next week. To download the game, you’ll need 2,055 blocks of free space. That amounts to 256.875MB.
