Team Ice Cream has emerged victorious over Team Cake in the North American Splatoon 2 Splatfest. Taking place on July 15 from 3pm-7pm PT, Nintendo Switch owners had the opportunity to test out the upcoming Splatoon 2, choose a team, and battle for the glory of their favorite type of dessert.
The contest was based on three categories; Votes, Solo, and Team. Announcers Pearl and Marina revealed that Team Cake had in fact won 53% of Team battles, but Team Ice Cream won 51% of Solo matches and 76% of Votes, clinching their victory. It was a pretty close match, but Team Ice Cream walked away with the win.
We are still waiting on Europe’s results, but there are some rumblings that North America, Europe, and Australia’s results are all combined.
Japan, on the other hand, had a completely different contest in which they asked players to choose between Rock and Pop. Rock was the winning choice and also won by a 2-1 margin.
Which team were you? Did you enjoy the Splatfest and did it convince you to pick up Splatoon 2 when it launches on July 21, 2017 for the Nintendo Switch?
dam right…
hey i can confirm that icecream won in europe too with 76% popularity %51 wins first round
and cake got %53 wins second round
and by the way didn’t reggie say that 76% of nintendo hq picked ice cream and 24% picked cake? hmmmmmmmmmmm this is suspicious
I managed to hit Ice Cream Queen by almost exclusively beating my own teammates, I think I was matched up with 5 or 6 cake teams in total during the whole 4 hours lol
Just goes to show how much more popular Ice Cream was compared to Cake, huh? My first seven battles were against other Ice Cream players and then it went on and off between Cake and Ice Cream.
We ultimately won though, so, go team! Ice Cream reigns supreme!
looks like my team won and we are the ice cream teams. I managed to shoot my teammates by mistake.
this music theme when you are waiting for the teams to get ready is fucking annoying.
You can manipulate that music with different buttons on the controller. Maybe it will be less annoying that way? lol
i dont know that? what you think? i already doing that by moving the analog down to make the music less stupid.
I’ve heard this one weird trick where if you smoke weed it may or may not make the music more enjoyable. 🤔
i hope we team up in the very near future on co-op on splatoon
I’m down to squid squad up. I’ll be getting the game day one!
i have already put money on muy eshop account 2 weeks ago so i will buy it digital day one and keep it installed cause i will play it so much that i dont want to change the game card to put the next game. i dont like digital games and this is gonna be the first digital game i will ever buy (on console) this is how high lvl splatoon is for me on my heart
I’m trying to go all digital with a 200gb micro sd. The only game I got physical was BOTW because that special edition was too sweet to pass up.
I only played for about 30 mins, long enough to learn the new weapons, specials, etc. There was nothing to gain from playing beyond that.
That was really fun though… 50% I was against my own team… whatever, it was worth 4 hours. I can’t wait till the game comes out. Team ice cream ftw!
Oh and just to add, everyone saying the only reason everyone picked ice cream for marina is wrong. I surveyed all my family, neighbors, and friends (none of the people I surveyed knew about Splatoon 2) and I came away with 80% for ice cream and 20 % for cake (approximately) ice cream is simply the more popular dessert
looks like my team won and we are the ice cream teams.☺
if it weren’t for the popular vote *cough Trump cough* Team Cake would have won!
Hello everyone I have to ask you something.
I never played Splatoon 1 so this was my first Splatfest I ever played. It’s normal to do match against people from the same team?
If the splatfest event has a popular vote like ice cream and you’re on that team then yes, expect to fight your own team pretty frequently.
Ok. Thanks.
usually not but most people picked ice cream so this time it was common. If future splatfests are closer in votes, it wont happen often
Understood.
Took forever to get into a match and couldn’t find enough players several time, wierd cuz the first testfire was solid.
Were you on Team Ice Cream? We weren’t split into separate teams in the first Testfire. During a Splatfest, it will try to find you a team on the opposite side, but Ice Cream outnumbered Cake by a large margin. Team Cake probably didn’t have to wait long to find matches for the most part.
That must’ve been it didn’t play once against team cake lol.
I played in Japan, Europe, and USA. Representing Team Rock and Team Ice Cream!
||You have some skills, we’ll see…||
Glad to have been part of team ice cream 8-)
Good thing we won.
