The first Splatoon 2 Splatfest – Which do you listen to; Rock vs Pop! – is announced for this Saturday, 7/15.
Nintendo are wasting no time, kicking off the Splatoon 2 festivities in style with a Splatfest before release Fresh!
In English regions, the Splatfest theme is 「Cake vs Ice Cream」 – not as cool as the Japanese Splatfest, which is thematically tied to the concert spectacle present in the rest of the games marketing material.

News Flash!
This is an announcement for the Splatoon 2 Festival Eve Event!
All players will be split into 2 factions to battle in a Festival Match (ENG Splatfest) – and you can experience this limited time event!
The Splatfest theme – 「Which do you listen to? Rock vs Pop」! Running from Saturday 7/15, 5:00PM to 9:00PM!
「フェス」とは、決着がつかない話題にバトルで決着をつけるイベントだ。
提示された2つのお題のどちらかに投票し、全参加者を2つの陣営に分ける。
同じ陣営の仲間と4人チームを組んで、相手陣営のチームと対戦し、フェス期間中の全バトルの勝敗で、どちらの陣営が勝つか、最終結果が決まるぞ。 pic.twitter.com/jgHNwJKZqi— Splatoon（スプラトゥーン） (@SplatoonJP) July 6, 2017
In Festival Match (ENG: Splatfest), players battle to reach a settlement for a problem that can’t be resolved. Presented with 2 themes put to vote, all participants are split into 2 factions.
Teammates in the same faction unite into teams of 4 and fight against the opposing team. Win or lose – all battles during the Splatfest lead to a winning team – and the winning team decides the end result.
フェスマッチには、1人で参加して自動的に仲間を集める「ソロ」モードと、同じ陣営に投票した4人のフレンドで組む「チーム」モードの2つがある。
ソロはソロ同士、チームはチーム同士の対戦となる。
最終結果は、得票率・ソロの勝率・チームの勝率の3本勝負で判定するぞ。
勝つのはどっちだ？ pic.twitter.com/dQJ4tMNa5X— Splatoon（スプラトゥーン） (@SplatoonJP) July 6, 2017
For Splatfests, players can enter Solo Mode – which automatically pairs you with teammates. Or, Team Mode – where you can unite with 4 Friends of the same faction. Solo pairs you with Solo players, and Team pairs you with other Team players.
In the end, the percentage of votes will be tallied by the win rate of Solo and Team battles. Which will win out of the two?
Nintendo are going all out with their marketing of Splatoon 2 leading up to launch – so you won’t want to miss this Splatfest. The Demo is available from the Switch eShop now.
