Next weekend, Pokemon Centers in Japan will begin selling special Splatoon T-shirts based on the upcoming Splatfest. Designs for Red (Charizard) and Green (Venusaur) are due out on February 20.
Here are some photos:
Just to reiterate from the previous post, North America and Europe’s Splatfest is Red vs. Blue. In Japan, it’s Red vs. Green.
Super Mario Maker has just added three more significant costumes. Players can get their hands on Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle.
Here’s a look at each one in action:
You can nab the Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle by completing the new “I Choose You!” Event Course. However, it needs to be completing three times to unlock each one.
Here’s an overview of the stage:
“This course is based on the beginning of any Pokemon trainer’s journey – from choosing your first partner in Professor Oak’s lab through reaching the first Gym. Clear the course to unlock a costume of whichever Pokemon you choose! Unlike the original games, it shouldn’t be too hard to clear it multiple times and catch ’em all!”
Update: This same event is confirmed for Europe and Japan as well. For the Japanese version, it’ll be Red vs. Green.
Splatoon’s eleventh Splatfest will be taking place in North America next week. Arguably, it’s one of the more interesting topics. Players can choose between either Pokemon Red or Pokemon Blue.
This Splatfest will be going live on February 19 at 10 PM PT / February 20 at 1 AM ET. It’ll last for a full day, with the results following soon after.

Activision’s 2015 full-year financial results are in. Revenue is reported at $4.6 billion, an increase from $4.4 billion in calendar 2014 with 47.5 percent of that amount stemming from subscriptions, licensing, and other revenue. Operating income is also up from $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion and net income grew from $835 million to $892 million. However, Activision fell a tad short of its revenue target.
Guitar Hero Live and Skylanders SuperChargers both fell short of Activision’s expectations. With Skylanders, there is now increased competition in the market with LEGO Dimensions. More declines are expected for Skylanders in 2016, but another game is in the pipeline. As for Guitar Hero Live, its weakness is attributed to a move to mobile devices.
We’re sharing one final video from Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty, which you can find below. It shows even more gameplay from the just-released Wii U title.
