The results are in for the latest European Splatfest in Splatoon. For this topic, players were asked if they’d rather be fit or rich.

Popularity and wins were close on both sides. Money had a slightly higher percentage of votes (56 percent versus 44 percent), but fitness saw more wins (53 percent vs. 47 percent). That ultimately led fitness to a win with 362 points.

– Co-op mode (Local): This mode actually exists in the original game, but we have also taken our version. We could also play with a friend in local mode to kill the minotaurs.
– VS Mode (Local): A player will control the minotaur while another control the human, they have to kill each other.

Along with the modes above, an online mode is said to be in consideration.
