In early August, Nintendo launched a Splatoon web app. While it’s set up in Japanese, it can be used by all players.
The app has since been updated to support Twitter notifications. Each time you’re online, a notification will be pushed out on Twitter. It’ll give your friends a heads up that you’re available for a battle!
You can check out the Splatoon web app right here.
Update: Other items are up on Amazon Italy as well. You can nab the Xenoblade Chronicles X Wii U bundle, Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water Limited Edition, Chibi-Robo amiibo bundle, and New Style Boutique 2 New 3DS bundle here
.
A number of the Animal Crossing amiibo can now be pre-ordered on Amazon Italy. You can get your reservations in here. These figures should ship to the U.S. for those that are interested!
Splatoon’s fifth North American Splatfest will take place next weekend, Nintendo has revealed.
In the new competition, art and science will face off. Here’s the official notice from the Splatoon Tumblr:
“The next Splatfest draws near! Next week, we pit art against science! Now, we here at the Squid Research Lab know that you’re a talented bunch of artists. We’ve seen what you can do in art contests, on Miiverse and, not to mention, all the rad fan art uploaded to Tumblr! It seems at first glance that art will have no problem taking it all. BUT! When you think about all the greats hanging out on the science side (Bill Nye! Neil deGrasse Tyson! Beakman!), it’s not hard to see how science could win this one!”
This new Splatfest will kick off on September 18 at 9 PM PT (12 AM ET on September 19). It will last through the following day.
Nintendo released one more trailer for Super Mario Maker to highlight the game’s accolades. View it below.
Following yesterday’s video, the Play Nintendo YouTube account has another one up with Olivia Holt – see below. This one shows how you can go about having painted nails that are inspired by Mario.
Back in July, Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon was featured in a live stream. The same thing will once again be happening on September 16.
Other Pokemon games like Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire will also be shown during the stream. But since we really only care about Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon – the new game here – this is when it will be highlighted on the broadcast:
– 5 AM PT
– 8 AM ET
– 10 AM in the UK
– 11 AM in Europe
The stream will be hosted on Niconico here.
I also wanted to mention that Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda put up a tweet recently about a tease for the Pokemon anime. News will be announced in the upcoming issue of CoroCoro, though it will also be on TV Tokyo next Tuesday. We should be hearing about the silhouetted Pokemon from the movie trailer. We’ll let you know if anything else comes in!
It’s been announced that the Yo-kai Watch anime will be premiering in North America on Monday, October 5 at 5 PM ET / PT. Disney XD will be airing the show, and new episodes will launch each day through October 9. Following this, there will be weekly Monday evening debuts at the same time. Episodes will also be available on Watch Disney XD the following day after its television premiere.
We also have the lineup of the U.S. voice cast: Johnny Yong Bosch as Nate, J.W. Terry as Whisper, Alicyn Packard as Jibanyan, Melissa Hutchison as Katie, Pierre Holloway as the Teacher and Manjimutt, and Brent Pendergrass as Nate’s friend, Eddie.
View a pair of clips from the Yo-kai Watch anime below.
Nintendo UK is just now beginning its Super Mario Maker live stream with Charles Martinet. Due to Twitch auto-play, we’ve posted it after the break. We’ll add in the archive once the stream is finished.
