Greetings from the great outdoors! As soon as Camp Triggerfish was discovered, we just knew that we needed to take a Squid Research Lab company camping trip. We’ve all been in agreement about how great camping is, but have run into one little problem: we can’t seem to decide what to roast over the campfire.

Intern Milton is all like, “HOT DOGS!” and Intern Stephenie all like, “MARSHMALLOWS.” We only have so many pointy sticks to use to roast things so we’re going to need to come to an agreement on this. We’ve decided to let the next Splatfest decide for us! Head to the Pledge Board and vote Marshmallow or Hot Dog and then fight for your team from 8/7 at 9 PM PT to 8/8 at 9 PM PT.

#Splatoon #SquidLab #Nintendo #WiiU #Splatfest #Hot Dog vs Marshmallow #Team Hot Dog #Team Marshmallow

Sometimes, a kid just wants to get up close and POW! Introducing the Inkbrush Nouveau, which brings the same abilities as the Inkbrush but has a different sub and special! You’ll be able to lay Ink Mines to catch your foes off guard, and then use the Bubbler when you’re ready to go in for your attack!
The Inkbrush Nouveau will be available tonight at 7 PM PT.

BREAKING NEWS - Good things must come in twos (that’s a thing, right?), because also coming to Splatoon tonight is the Range Blaster! As the name suggests, the Range Blaster is a Blaster with shots that travel farther before exploding. It has a lower rate of fire, but who cares when you’re taking people out from clear across the battle field!? The Range Blaster comes complete with the Splash Wall and Inkstrike.

It's gonna be Inkbrush Bubbler mania tonight.

 

[mp1990]

Team Hot dog all way long, and this time I'll make sure to pick my snail seals after the Splatfest, lol.

 

[massoluk]

Missed opportunity. Should be Chicago pizza vs. NY pizza.

Really wonder how Range Blaster works. It sounds like Nightmare on tower control.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I want to be on the weiner team.

 

[Azure J]

That Inkbrush just needed Burst Bombs man...

Range Blaster though, holy shit.

 

[Crayolan]

The Range Blaster sounds like it's going to be the most annoying weapon to deal with in the game.

 

[spindashing]

This image pisses me off for some reason. Luna Blasters were asses enough and now we have to deal with THIS SHIT

Ban this now Nintendo or else I will sue

 

[Cbajd5]

but i thought there would be no more updates ever, that's why i bought all the weapons

why did the world lie to me

Sarcasm aside, I'll probably try the Range Blaster. Wish I knew how much these would cost though. I NEED MORE MONEY UNITS

Spoiler

also, team marshmallow

double also, what happened to the ghosts

 

[vagabondarts]

I need that range blaster omg

 

[Magnet_Man]

*Enters a darkened control room and approaches the main panel*

*Wipes forehead sweat with a small cloth*

*Deep breath....hoooooooo*

*Removes a single key from jacket pocket and places into the control panel*

*Click!*

*Lifts glass lid over a single, red button*

...It is time.

*Presses the "Marie loves the wiener" button*

God save us all.

 

[Formless]

Blasters already are the worst weapons to deal with for me.

 

[foxuzamaki]

I can finally be on best girl's team, cali.

 

[-Horizon-]

 

[Metroid Killer]

I'm getting angry just seeing the name range blaster.

 

[BlueSilver]

Wow, the Blaster hate is real.

 

[Acerac]

Awesome! I had just finished buying all the weapons and polishing of the amiibo challenges in preparation of the new update, this'll give me something to mess around with in the meantime.

This game just keeps giving.

 

[Jeff Vader]

I'm looking forward to trying the new brush after work.

 

[Geg]

Wow, the Blaster hate is real.

Really good blasters users are already incredibly hard to deal with. I'm sure you've played against Heng's before

 

[Tom Nook]

 

[Tygamr]

Ugh why does the splatfest have to be on those days? I'm out of town camping... I swear they always pick days I'm busy.

And great, a blaster that shoots even farther... I'm sure the slower rate of fire will make up for it.

 

[PotionBleue]

Meanwhile Europe is still the last one served with Splatfests…

I wonder if they will ever make promotional Splatfests in the American/European version like in Japan. Sounds hard to do considering the number of countries involved.

 

[Madao]

Hot Dog team for me. i don't like marshmallows.

 

[Clefargle]

Goddamnit Horizon, I had not noticed your new avatar until right after I saw this image.

 

[BlueSilver]

Yes, I have.

 

[cooljeanius]

Team marshmallow here; I just had some last night. sogood.gif

:3c

 

[Blues1990]

Oh yeah, I'm so on team marshmallow. S'mores are the essential treat for the summer season.

Besides, hot dogs are one the worst processed meats on the market.

 

[MrPanic]

Oh man, new blaster with range? That thing was already the most annoying thing to deal with, so I'm not happy at all about having another version of that weapon in the game. Inkbrush with inkmines sounds interesting, will try that out.

 

[javadoze]

At this point, I've become convinced that there's a Spongebob reference for everything now.

 

[Neoxon]

Finally, another Splatfest. Perfect timing given that I'm running low on Sea Snails.

Huge missed opportunity for white ink on Team Marshmallow (something that Japan got for Team Milk Tea).

 

[Moonlight]

Still about that Marie life. Hopefully I'm actually on the winning team for once.

Helps that marshmallows are gross as hell.

 

[EulaCapra]

Team Hotdogs.

Because they didn't specify with Smores and at least with a hotdog bun, you've got yourself a filling meal.

 

[Omega Kirby]

Team marshmallow. Hot dogs are freaking disgusting.


Also, brush with bubbler? Now that's close combat frenzy.


But the range blaster comes with an splashwall..... My God.

 

[DanteRavenkin]

Team Hotgod. Mystery meat FTW. I'm loving how much they're supporting this game too. Even if I am only level 12 and haven't seen it all yet.

 

[phanphare]

man, an inkbrush with the bubbler

damn

 

[Hyperfludd]

This weapon update carries my interests, hard.

Range Blaster~

 

[Ryouji Gunblade]

Team hotdogs because Sonic and diabeetus.

 

[Kodaman]

Expected this to be the first post.

 

[Dangansona]

Can confirm. For evidence see the last 5 years of my social interactions.

 

[Valjean Lafitte]

Okay, so... after playing for hours last night and restarting the game multiple times, I've yet to see Callie and Marie report on the upcoming splatfest, and the pledge board hasn't appeared in the Plaza (despite all the Miiverse posts from people who seem to have already cast their vote). What gives? Is anyone else having this problem?

 

[Busaiku]

Marie always gets the more popular (and rightfully so) choices, I see this being no exception.
Hot Dogs all the way.

Isn't it only announced a day before?

 

[_Isaac]

Awesome. I'd love to get back to this since Rocket League has been keeping me away for a bit.

#TeamWeenie

 

[KingSnake]

The splatfest for Europe is kind of meh: North vs. South Pole. But we can make it more interesting by going Northern vs. Southern Europe.

Maybe, but I see so many people saying Marie likes hot dogs and Callie likes marshmallows that I thought I must have missed a news update. Still no pledge board in my plaza, either.

Never mind.
