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.
Splashy Duck is due out this week in North America and Europe as a Wii U eShop download. Check out a bit of footage below.

As relayed by Q-Games’ Dylan Cuthbert, Nintendo will be participating in BitSummit next month. It’s the first time that the company will be present at the event.
BitSummit 2016 will take place on July 9 and July 10 in Kyoto. During the event, a variety of indie games are showcased.
Bandai Namco has been showing a lot of Dragon Ball: Fusions as of late, but we haven’t heard too much about the battle system. That changed in the latest issue of V Jump.
Here’s the full scan translated by Shonen Games which touches on this area of gameplay:
Dolores Entertainment announced back in 2014 that Bit Dungeon was in the works for Wii U. It’s still on the way, and it should be out soon under the new name “Bit Dungeon+”.
Here’s a trailer:
Bit Dungeon+ features fast-paced action inspired by Zelda with randomized loot. The game will offer randomized dungeons along with hack-and-slash gameplay as you journey to take down bosses.
Twin Robots is launching on the Wii U eShop this coming week, Ratalaika Games has announced. The game is set to arrive on June 16 for $4.99 / €4.99.
With Twin Robot’s release imminent, Ratalaika has prepared a new trailer. That can be viewed below.
Kirby: Planet Robobot launched in North America and Europe on Friday. To celebrate, director Shinya Kumazaki posted a message on Miiverse.
Kumazaki talked about Planet Robobot itself before moving on to Kirby in general. He mentioned the series’ 25th anniversary coming up next year and HAL’s plans “to keep taking the Kirby series to new heights for years to come”.
We’ve posted the full message below.
Last week, Famitsu published an article on Monster Hunter Stories. It included an interview with Ryozo Tsujimoto, producer of the series.
There was quite a bit discussed during the interview. Tsujimoto talked about things like the world, systems, how long it’ll take to complete Monster Hunter Stories, and the brand new amiibo. That’s in addition to a few other topics like the anime.
We’ve gone ahead and translated Famitsu’s interview with Tsujimoto. Head past the break to read it in full.
It’s been a strange couple of months as Nintendo shared its plans for E3 2016. We quickly learned that there would be absolutely no NX news, nor a Nintendo Direct / Digital Event. Zelda Wii U is going to be playable, but it’ll be the only game at the show. Nintendo did say recently that its two-day Treehouse stream will feature Pokemon Sun/Moon, Pokemon GO, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, Monster Hunter Generations, and Dragon Quest VII in addition to Zelda.
Going into E3, how’s everyone feeling about things? Are you excited to finally get a good look at the new Zelda game? Are you bummed about the company’s approach to the expo this year? Is there anything you hope to see – be it an already-announced game or an announcement – during the Treehouse stream? Let us know in the comments below! We’ll reconvene next week – crazy to thing it’ll all be over by then!
