Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 2 Comments
Yesterday we heard about a new Splatfest for Splatoon 2 in Japan. But strangely, this apparently wasn’t intended to be the new topic.
Nintendo said on the Japanese Splatoon Twitter page that the information only went out to certain users. Those who already signed up for the Splatfest – which was incorrect – will have their t-shirts returned. We’ll also be hearing about the next proper Splatfest for Japan towards the end of this week.

The next European Splatfest has been announced for Europe, and the topic at hand is quite… interesting. Players are being asked about which position they prefer the toilet roll to be hanging.
Europe’s new Splatfest will be taking place during the weekend of October 7. The event will take place for a full day as usual.
For now, we’ve not yet heard about the next North American Splatfest. We’ll keep you updated if any news comes in.

We’re expecting Nintendo to provide an official translation soon, but the main point here is that the band consists of three members. A cello player, drummer, and DJ are all a part of the group.
