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.

Back at Gamescom, Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata seemed to hint at something relating to the game coming to Switch. Tabata has since clarified what’s actually going on at the moment.
