The fourth North American Splatfest in Splatoon 2 has come to an end. In the latest event, players were asked if they prefer sci-fi or fantasy.
Team Fantasy had the edge in both popularity and solo battles at 57% and 51% respectively. Team Sci-Fi won slightly more team battles at 51%, but that wasn’t enough.
The final score was 1 point for Team Sci-Fi and 2 points for Team Fantasy.
Pinball FX3 was originally supposed to be out on Switch this week. Unfortunately, Zen Studios announced a last-minute delay. It will now debut on the eShop early next month.
Zen Studios explained the delay on its Twitter account this week. Functionality is being added in so that you can play vertically with a single Joy-Con. With support for HD Rumble also included, Zen Studios says Pinball FX3 will offer “an amazing, portable pinball experience.”
Zen Studios posted the following on Twitter:
The Switch eShop has a handful of screenshots of both Resident Evil Revelations and Resident Evil Revelations 2 on Switch. We have the latest images of the two titles below.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Not too long ago, Polygon was able to speak with Shigeo Maruyama. Maruyama was previously the chairman of Sony Computer Entertainment and the CEO of Sony Music Entertainment. He was present way back in the day when negotiations were taking place with Nintendo about working on a gaming system together.
As we know, Nintendo and Sony’s partnership wasn’t meant to be. Nintendo went in its own direction, as did Sony. Maruyama reflected on those initial conversations with Nintendo in a recent interview with Polygod, in which he stated:
The Wall Street Journal reported this week that a new animated Mario movie is on the way. Illumination Entertainment, the studio behind the Despicable Me and Minions films, has been apparently pegged to work on Nintendo’s project. It’s far from an announcement, but The Wall Street Journal tends to be accurate with these kinds of reports.
Just the thought of any new Mario movie may strike fear into the hearts of dedicated Nintendo fans. There was a Super Mario Bros. movie way back in 1996, though many would say that it was downright terrible. If Nintendo is making a new Mario movie, you still have reason to be cautious. However, there would be a couple of things going for it.
First, Shigeru Miyamoto should be on board. The Wall Street Journal said that Miyamoto was pushing for a producer role. The fact that it would be animated also helps big time. Live action doesn’t make much sense for Mario, but animation is much more appropriate.
So let’s just say that this movie is in fact happening. Is there anything in particular you’d like to see from it? What about things you’d like to see Illumination Entertainment and Nintendo avoid? Let us know in the comments below.
