In Japan, the latest Splatfest for Splatoon 2 was held this weekend. When asked which makes them feel the most wonder, players were given two options: unknown/undiscovered creatures or advanced technology.

We now have the full results from the latest Splatfest. Though it was pretty close, advanced technology took home the win. That team actually won all three categories – votes, solo battles, and team battles. The final score was 0-3 in favor of the latter team.

Today, Nintendo announced the second soundtrack album for Splatoon 2, titled “Octotune”. Appropriately, it will contain music from the game’s upcoming Octo Expansion pack. The soundtrack will come with two CDs: the first one contains tracks from Octo Expansion as well as music that has been added to the game since release via software updates. The second CD contains a recording of the live concert performance that was held at Game Party Japan 2018.

There will also be a special first-print edition of the soundtrack that also contains a video recording of that performance on Blu-Ray. The standard edition will cost 3,200 Yen while the first-print edition will cost 4,800 Yen. Both will be relased on July 18th in Japan.

As you can see, art for the tenth Japanese Splatfest has been created. This time, at least for Japan, the Splatfest asks a simple-yet-tough question: What interests you more? Undiscovered animals or futuristic technology?

It’s a tough one indeed. I’ll probably just agree with Marina as always. Comment wars… begin!
