The 12th North American Splatfest in Splatoon has now come to an end. Who came out on top: those who’d prefer to build a snowman or a sandcastle?

This was a close match all the way around. Team Snowman had a slight edge in popularity, but Team Sandcastle saw slightly more wins. Because they did win more of the battles, Team Sandcastle prevailed. The final score was 359 to 341.

We’ve seen real-life renditions of Splatoon weapons before, but there’s one that is being made into a new product. HVM has added in a listing for a Splattershot squirt gun, which will be sold in Japan starting on July 18 for 2,700 yen. It looks a bit similar to Target’s purchase bonus from last year!

Splatoon’s latest Japanese Splatfest was once again game-themed. Dragon Quest was featured, with the topic being “Let’s keep going” (think being aggressive) as represented by She-slime versus “Cherish your life” (more along the lines of playing it safe), which was represented by Healslime.

This Splatfest has now drawn to a close, and the results are in. In the end, the Healslime side won thanks to an edge in both wins and popularity. The final score was 366 to 334.
