It would be cool. The question is does Japan do Splatfests they can't eat? :) Not sure how a miso splatfest will go down in EU, and I suspect a burrito splatfest wouldn't go down so well in Osaka :)
I sort of hope to not share Splatfests all the time. I sort of like seeing the different demographics in different regions and how they play out. Such as the Cats vs. Dogs Popularity splits in NA vs EU regions. I also do like the different themes used in each region.
I don't think they've so much run out of ideas, so much as they're looking to monetize everything they have for everything it's worth. That seems to be the Kimishima strategy for everything. Merchandise! Lunch boxes! Toothbrushes! Theme parsk! Lets find more corporate tie-ins for splatfest so some other compay pays US for advertising exposure!
Yeah I suppose you're right. But let's be honest, SpongeBob out of all things? That series has been going on far too long and most people/kids who grew up with it, most of them grew out of it as well. This show has had plenty of merchandise and advertisement in the years it's been out, which is close to 17 years I believe. I don't think it needs anymore exposure than it already has.
Do you have a source? At least the US Tumblr doesn't mention it.
I got it from the Nintendo Life article.
Maybe the source they got it from is from one of Nintendo of Europe's sources. I'm at work so it is hard for me to source check myself.
Maybe, but remember that the target demographic for this game is kids, the same kids that watch SpongeBob these days.
Yeah I know. I was going to add in the post, "But then again, the show is in continuation for the younger audience, some of which play Splatoon, so this is right up their alley". I had lost my train of thought. Probably why I added that small bit in the end.
Ohhh, that totally slipped my mind! Good point; it can still be an enjoyable Splatfest even if the theme doesn't appeal to me.
(Srsly though I love the 30 hour thing so I don't have to miss most of it like I did last time!)
I'm pretty sure thou knowest why. Multiple times a team has been represented by the color red, but we can't have the poor Inklings burst into what looks like a bloody mess, right? So pink ink it must be.
That's a good point. I also think that it means that Nintendo is paying attention to what people on Miiverse are saying. Whether you like Spongebob meme posts or not, I think it's hard to deny that they're pretty common over there. I can't really begrudge Nintendo too much for putting in the effort to give the people what they want, haha.
I'm not really sure how I'm going to pick sides in this Splatfest either. I didn't really watch Spongebob growing up so I also don't really know a ton about it besides the memes. I may just pick Spongebob because I like yellow.
