The official Splatoon website has announced the 13th Splatfest for Japan. This will begin on April 23 at 9 AM local time, lasting for a full day.
The upcoming Splatfest is being held in partnership with 7-Eleven. It pits two versions of onigiri up against each other: mayonnaise tuna and mature red salmon.
We’ll have the results on the site after the Splatfest ends later this month.

The fourth portion of Natsume’s winter Q&A with fans was added to the company’s Tumblr page today. Natsume tackled topics about the 3DS (why no Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories, series and support for the system in general) and NX (not much to say currently). For the latest three questions and answers, head past the break.

It’s not often that we post credits from games. However, there’s a particularly touching inclusion within Star Fox Zero’s staff roll, which we felt was worth sharing.
About halfway through the credits, the following line pops up: “This game is dedicated to our wingman who fell in battle.” It’s a clear nod to late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, who passed away last year.
Head past the break for the video with the full credits if you’re interested in doing so ahead of launch! It naturally contains a few final scenes from the game.
