Hobonichi Techo 2016, Earthbound covers ⊟ 

Next year’s line of Hobonichi Techo – the cherished daily planner produced by 1101 and Mother/Earthbound series creator Shigesato Itoi – is now available to preorder, including the 2016 English planners!

As always, half the fun of the Techo is buying accessories and cases, and 1101 has plenty of new goodies for its planners. The company has produced two Mother/Earthbound covers featuring sprites from the SNES game and a bonus bookmark, as well as a Mr. Saturn cover for its Japanese “Weeks” Techo.

The Earthbound items are likely to sell out soon, so make buying them a priority if you’re interested! Paying for an English Techo, one of the Earthbound covers, and shipping can set you back over $55 (the planner by itself runs for about $22 before shipping costs from Japan). The expected ship date is mid-October.

That limited edition Mother 3 Game Boy Micro tho.

BUY Mother 3/Earthbound, Hobonichi Techo

Inkopolis metro exposed! We found that while there’s several places to access the different play modes, all of them connect to the Splat line, a metro system that carries all inkling teams across the country. Even if they’re not playing in the same match, inklings from all areas of inkopolis can make friends while waiting to reach their destination.  

My entry for the Splatoon art contest! It took a while but I’m super happy with it, and also this game ; 7 ; Like seriously the direct can not come soon enough. 
The sort of background story for this one is that I wanted to do a really big fun piece to really communicate how much I adore Splatoon and it’s crazy-colorful urban setting, and I kept on wandering back to my commutes over the LA metro. You see so many colorful characters on your way to your destination– it seemed like the perfect waiting lobby for online matches, so i took a few liberties. Hopefully it works!

Congrats to funkgamut for being the grand prize winner in our Splatoon Art Contest! Here’s what the Splatoon Dev Team had to say about this masterpiece:

Even though it doesn’t show a scene from the game, our first prize goes to this masterful drawing which tells a story that could have come from the game itself.

This story portrayed here is one that all teenagers can probably relate to. After looking at it for a bit, the viewer starts to wonder about the relationship between the characters and what happened before and after the scene took place.

There are many elements found in this piece, but it’s the wide-angle composition and the elegant use of color that really make the scene come to life. The concept combined with the technical aspects of this piece make it an extremely high-quality work of art.

Thanks so much to everyone who entered the contest. We were blown away by all the beautiful entries. You’re all A+ Squid Researchers in our book!
