The fifth Japanese Splatfest in Splatoon is happening next weekend, Nintendo has announced.

This new competition has boke and tsukkomi sides facing off. In Japanese comedy, “boke” is kind of like the “funny man” while “tsukkomi” is comparable to the “straight man”.

Japan’s new Splatfest will begin on Saturday at 12 PM. Similar to previous events, it will run for a full day.
