Splatoon’s latest European Splatfest is in the books, and the winning side has been announced. Singing managed to beat out dancing thanks to an edge in wins (57 percent versus 43 percent).

Dancing did have a slight majority – 54 percent – in terms of votes. That wasn’t enough to propel them to victory, however.

Singing took home 274 points compared to dancing’s 226 points.

The latest two weapons are now live in Splatoon. As of now, players can begin using the Bamboozler 14 Mk and L-3 Nozzlenose D.

Here’s an overview of the former weapon:

“The Bamboozler 14 Mk I is a reissue of a weapon used during the Great Turf War. It charges up extremely quickly and boasts great range even when not fully charged. If you’re looking for a weapon that your great-great-great-great-great-great grandsquid would have been comfortable sportin’, check it out in Sheldon’s shop.”

And an overview of the L-3 Nozzlenose D:

“The L-3 Nozzlenose D is a specially designed L-3 Nozzlenose with an adorable logo on it. The sub weapon lets you finish off opponents who are still standing, and the special allows you to strike from up close.”

Lastly, here’s some footage of the weapons:

Around 15 minutes ago, Nintendo of America sent out a tweet about new weapons coming to Splatoon tonight. But strangely, it was deleted soon after.

We did manage to capture an image of the tweet – you can see it above. You’ll also find screenshots of the new weapons below.

I’d imagine we’ll be seeing these new weapons either today or tomorrow. When Nintendo republishes the news, we’ll update this post.

Its two discs will include 61 songs – 37 music tracks, 10 jingle tracks and 14 sound effect tracks. It will also come with a booklet featuring comments from the development staff and additional reversible covers. Check those out in the gallery below.
