Keeping It Fresh: Cats vs Dogs And Inkoming Stage: Bluefin Depot

Hello to all them squids and kids, it's time for a Splatoon update! Here's the freshest news hot off the battlefield. The second ever Splatfest will be taking place this weekend in North America. Cat lovers will take on dog lovers in an epic battle to decide which is the best pet! Nintendo has released another video to get players excited for the event as well. While mostly similar to the previous video released for the first Japanese Splatfest, Rice vs Bread, the kicking tunes of the stunning Squid Sisters are still a great way to get pumped for the event! Who will prevail, cats or dogs?

If that's not funky fresh enough for all those Inklings out there how about a new stage: Bluefin Depot! Confirmed to be inkcoming by SplatoonJP, the official Japanese Splatoon Twitter account,"the Central Valley is divided into two main areas" according to a translation. Several pictures of the stage were provided, one showing several spots with water to fall into, one sniper spot, and what looks to be a space for heavily contested fighting. Give them all a look!

​

Their release times for this new stage is as follows:

• Europe: 4AM
• UK: 3AM
• North America (EDT): 10PM (June 19th)
• North America (PDT): 7PM (June 19th)
• Japan: 11AM

With so much exciting happenings this weekend it will be hard to contain the hype. So pop on some gear, squid jump into battle, and be sure tostay fresh!

 

I was more than happy to watch that video for a 5th time. It's just so damn good!

I know. Personally I think the music is better than most pop music out there.

 

You guys are kidding right; a dog would beat a cat in a splatfest and irl.;):p:D

 

Splatfest IS DELAYED!! T.T

My night maps, my dancing, my music.... :'(

 

Just played a few times on this stage, lol at the snipers trying to use this map only to get paired together on a different map just to be rekt.

Also, this stage is making me feel like it's small port mackerel except you have to see the map on which side it's going to be on.

 

When I saw this in Octo Valley I shuddered to think of what it would be like in Turf War or Splat Zones but to my pleasure it was a joy to play on in ranked at least.

 

I really enjoy how on this stage you start up really high and then gradually get lower until you get to the Splat Zone and then its up again.

 

Haven't gotten an opportunity to play on this course yet but it looks really cool. And I'm disappointed to hear about the Splatfest delay...
