Level-5 Vision 2016 is about to begin. In about 10 minutes, Level-5 will be making all sorts of announcements, though it’s unclear how much will pertain to Nintendo platforms. We should hear more about Snack World at the very least, which was previously confirmed for 3DS.

You can watch Level-5 Vision 2016 as it happens below. If there are any Nintendo-related announcements, we’ll have them right here. It’ll be a 90-minute stream, followed by a fan event.

In Japan, Shift DX has finally launched via the 3DS eShop. It’s not out yet in the west (that’ll change soon hopefully), but you can get a look at the game below.

Pokemon GO Plus has been pushed back to September, Nintendo has announced. The news applies to all regions – North America, Europe, Australia, and Japan.

The last we heard, Pokemon GO Plus was planned for release at the end of this month. Nintendo did not say why the device has been pushed back.

Ninja Smasher arrived on the 3DS eShop last week, and you can check out some footage below, courtesy of Nintendaan.

Miitomo has been updated with new content once again. Players can nab some new items in the latest Miitomo Drop stage, “Stealing the beach scene! Vacation Vogue #3”.

Available items include:

– Dots & stripes boardshorts
– Floral-print board shorts
– Swim cap + goggles

Users can select Miitomo Drop stages from the Shop tab. Miitomo coins or game tickets are needed to play.

Update 2: And here’s the North American compilation video:

Update (7/26): Added in a European compilation of Splatfests below.

Original (7/24): Splatoon’s very last Splatfest has come to an end. All have the battles have finished, and the final results are in.

The outcome was close for both votes and wins. However, Team Marie had slight edges in both (54 percent and 51 percent respectively). Because of that, they prevailed with a final score of 360 to 340.

Here’s a new video from Nintendo in celebration of the final Splatfest:

The Wii U eShop is being updated with re-releases of two Kirby games this week. First up is Kirby’s Epic Yarn, which will be made available as a Wii download. Kirby Mass Attack is also launching on the Virtual Console.

Here’s an overview of both:

Kirby’s Epic Yarn

“When Kirby incurs the anger of a sorceror, he is transported to a world made completely of cloth and yarn! Guide Kirby through uniquely crafted levels in Patch Land, taking on a variety of forms in his common actions and transforming into powerful vehicles. Prince Fluff can also aid in the adventure with a 2nd player!”

Kirby Mass Attack

“Gather a mob of Kirby characters, and then lead them on a crazy adventure where nothing can stand in your way! You can send Kirbys swarming over your enemies, fling them into the air to hit flying floes, and even take on challenges of strength! Be sure to collect medals hidden throughout various stages to unlock minigames.”

Pricing for Kirby’s Epic Yarn is set at $19.99. Kirby Mass Attack will cost $9.99.
