The next Splatfest in Splatoon 2 has been announced for Europe, and it’s certainly an interesting one.

Nintendo is posing a food-related question this time around. The company wants to know, do you find gherkins in burgers to be disgusting or delicious?

Players will be able to battle for the side they choose starting on February 10 at 3 PM, lasting for a full day. We should have the results soon after the event ends.

Like many indie games on the platform, Axiom Verge looks to have done very well on Switch. Creator Thomas Happ shared some data about the performac on Twitter today.

According to Happ, digital sales for Axiom Verge on Switch “are near what the PS4 launch sales were, and when you add in physical, they likely surpass them.” Happ will also be able to use strong funds generated from the physical version for his son’s healthcare. If you recall, publisher BadLand said it would donate 75% of its share.
