"Developed by Headstrong Games, Art Academy is a super-handy DS title that teaches you the art techniques you only dreamed you could learn. Those who are familiar with the DSiWare service at large will already be aware of the two existing downloadable releases that serve as the basis for this retail package. But when Art Academy is basically a re-release of two already-released games, does it stand a chance of succeeding in the mass market? Well Nintendo certainly thinks so, and so do I. Read on to find out why." -- Wiiloveit.com

I've seen a lot of folks make requests for all sorts of different games on the Switch. But, what I haven’t seen is a request for something that I guess should be considered to be more of an application than a game. I’m talking about Art Academy. The series got its start on the original DS all the way back in 2009. There have been subsequent releases on the 3DS and also the Wii U, with the latest entry being from 2016. The Art Academy series appeals to a very niche demographic, but it must definitely have captured enough people’s attention for there to be seven entries so far. I’d love to see an eighth one on the Nintendo Switch; it would arguably be the best version yet.
Nintendo is hosting a "Fresh Pics" Splatoon drawing event on Miiverse, and the game's development team will choose their favorite three submissions.
A Splatoon drawing event will be held for owners of Art Academy on Wii U to honor Satoru Iwata, with official details coming this Friday.
