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.

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.

The folks over at Smosh have once again produced an “honest trailer” for a game. This time, the video focuses on Pokemon GO. Check it out below.

Towards the end of last week, SimilarWeb published a new post investigating Pokemon GO installs on Android by country. Australia leads the way at 20 percent, followed by several European countries such as Germany, Portugal, and more. The United States is at 13.9 percent.

One territory worth spotlighting in particular is Japan. Just a few days after launch, Pokemon GO was already installed on 24 percent of Android devices. It’s ahead of Snapchat, WhatsApp, and KakaoTalk. Assuming Pokemon GO’s success continues, it may pass Facebook Messenger (33.5 percent) and Instagram (34 percent).

You can read SimilarWeb’s full post here for a look at how Pokemon GO is affecting other mobile apps.

Dragon Ball: Fusions was once again featured in V Jump ahead of its launch in Japan next week. Several elements are shown, including the fan-made Great Satan-man fusion (Great Saiyaman x Mister Satan) that will be in the game and manga. Female versions of the Ginyu Force are also shown.

A guidebook will also be made available. The book will include a special code unlocking Super Saiyan Blue (or Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan) Vegeta as a partner character. The game also allows players to fuse faces with friends and save them to the 3DS.

Hit the break for today’s full scan.
