Splatoon’s Next Japanese Splatfest All But Confirming Playable Octolings

Nintendo does not seem to be hiding that they will be unleashing Octolings on Splatoon’s online servers very soon.

次回のフェスの開催が決まった。 お題は「どっちが好き？ イカ vs タコ」。 無添くら寿司様のご協力で開催する。 期間は10月10日（土）9:00～10月11（日）9:00。 寿司ネタの定番であり、このゲームを象徴する宿命の対決だ。 pic.twitter.com/Ocgy5Wi1X5

For today’s Splatfest, they announced that the theme was sponsored by sushi restaurant Kura-zushi. This time, you have to choose between squid sushi or octopus sushi! Aside from being creepy on a meta restaurant-mascots-of-the-food-they-serve level, it’s almost like Nintendo wants to know who wants to play Octolings by voting in the Splatfest. This Splatfest is occurring October 10 and 11, so who knows? You might actually be playing Octolings in Team Octopus then.

In other news, a new weapon is debuting worldwide, the Carbon Roller Deco. Functionally it’s just like the regular Roller, but some folks may prefer its unique look.

How much are you looking forward to playing Octolings? Share your thoughts with us in the comments.
