He added that, in the future, it’s possible to extend it widely like Super Mario Bros.

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.
