Update: Here are all of our winners! Congratulations to:

Elliot Quest (North America): César Tribst, windystar, Lauren Ignacio, Nick
Elliot Quest (Europe): Vadim Dzhantyurin, shadowhive, Ricardo Nunes, Mikael Bonnaventura
Hyrule Warriors Legends 3DS theme: MegaFerret777

All codes have been sent out. Check the email associated with your Disqus account!

It’s time for a giveaway – two, actually! We have one right here on the site as well as one running on Twitter.

First, we have a total of eight Elliot Quest codes to hand out. Four are available to those with North American Wii U systems while the other four are for those with European consoles. Since this is a bit of a redux given that we held an Elliot Quest giveaway a year ago, we’ll make this simple: just leave a comment below and tell us which region you’re located in – this is crucial, otherwise we may not be able to count your entry.

We’re also giving out a code for the Hyrule Warriors Legends 3DS theme on Twitter! Follow our account and give this message a re-tweet – that’s all. Unfortunately, this one is limited to North America. Sorry about that!

Both giveaways will end on June 12 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM in the UK / 7 PM in Europe. We’ll pick winners soon after that.

The E3 2016 badge lanyard features none other than Zelda. One side includes art from the upcoming Wii U / NX game while the other has Link from previous entries. We have a look at the full lanyard in this post – see above and below.

The results are in for Splatoon’s 15th European Splatfest. During this weekend’s battle, players were asked if their dream trip would be a world tour or a space adventure.

It was very close, but those who sided with the world tour came out on top. They had a slight edge in both votes (51 percent) and wins (52 percent). The final score was 363 points for Team World and 337 points for Team Space.
