Splatoon 2 – North American and European Splatfest #2 results
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 22 Comments
The second Splatfest in Splatoon 2 has concluded, and the results are in. Which side prevailed? Was it Team Flight or Team Invisibility?
It was a contested battle all the way around. Team Invisibility had a slight edge in popularity by just 1 percent. As for battles, Team Flight led the way by just a few percentage points. The final result was 2 points for Team Flight and 1 point for Team Invisibility.
Nintendo ended up pooling the results between the North American and European Splatfests together this time around. Next weekend, Japan will have its own McDonald’s-themed Splatfest in which players will choose between fries and chicken nuggets.
