While the three Splatfest stages have traditionally been picked by the developers, the final Splatfest, Team Callie vs. Team Marie, will have its stages voted on by players. E-mails will be sent out to the accounts linked to players’ Nintendo Network IDs, with voting ending on July 12th.
The next, and final, Splatfest has been revealed. The theme will be Callie vs. Marie, with the two Squid Sisters (and fans) finally settling the great debate. The Splatfest will start at 2 AM PST on July 22, and will finish at 2AM July 24. It will be a worldwide Splatfest, with scores from each region being totaled (although the top 100 players from each region will be signaled out individually). Players can start getting their Splatfest shirts on July 4, at 7 PM PST.
With the Link’s Awakening DLC pack releasing for Hyrule Warriors, Koei Tecmo has released a new, extended trailer, showing off content such as Marin, Linkle’s Pegasus Boots, the Koholint Island Adventure Map, and new costumes. Check it out below:
In Japan, the Link’s Awakening Pack is already available for Hyrule Warriors (and presumably Hyrule Warriors Legends). Check out some footage of the DLC after the break (warning: auto-play).
Three special concerts will be hosted in Japan later this year in celebration of Zelda’s 30th anniversary. Performances will be held in Kyoto, Tokyo, and Nagoya on October 1, October 14, and December 14 respectively. The official site is located here.
Popular songs from the series will be performed in full orchestra under conductor Taizo Takemoto, and Zelda footage will be shown on the screen. The site also teases that a certain person involved with the series will appear (perhaps Eiji Aonuma or Shigeru Miyamoto?).
The concert tickets will have a Master Sheet (originally designed ticket with bonus goods of a set of pins). Additionally, exclusive original goods will only be sold only at these concerts.
Ticket sales will begin on June 30 at 12 PM. Master Sheet ticket sales will end earlier on July 5 at 11:59 PM, while S and A seat ticket sales will end on July 11 at 11:59 PM.

Axiom Verge will be heading to Wii U very soon. But could there be a chance of a 3DS version as well? Possibly.
Creator Tom Happ says he’s investigating a potential 3DS port at the moment. However, there are some technical challenges that would need to be taken into consideration. For one thing, Axiom Verge was originally made to run at a 1280×720 (720p) resolution. Shader effects are also used which require more than what the 3DS offers. Happ did note that these aspects would not necessarily be insurmountable.
Nintendo has opened the North American teaser site for Dragon Quest VII. Access it here.
In other news, Amazon is accepting pre-orders for Dragon Quest VII again. You can get yours in here. Pre-orders were down for awhile, which even prompted some (rather silly) speculation that the game would only be download-only. Of course, we know that isn’t true!
