When the Splatoon franchise was first unveiled at an E3 event, many gamers weren’t sure what to make of the game. They certainly didn’t think that it would be one of the biggest things Nintendo had done in recent generations, nor that it would be something that they’d be playing basically every month, thanks to what the games offered. Three titles later, many would consider this series one of Nintendo’s best titles, and in Japan especially, it’s a series that gets many of their purchases and attention. But the thing that most lovers of this franchise adore is the Splatfest events.

Then, in the most recent game, it was expanded to a triple-threat style. Either way, the community has loved it and anticipates every single Splatfest that comes down the pipeline, no matter the topic.

Over in Japan, and sometimes in other regions, special artwork would get dropped highlighting the topic along with the singing group attached to the game. Given that we’re three games deep, with dozens of these events now in the bank, that’s a ton of artwork to have made.

Such as if they had a food topic that wouldn’t apply to some regions due to it not being served there or not being as popular.

Even with that, however, the
