Splatoon 3 'Summer Nights' Splatfest Is This Weekend - Which Team Are You On?

Update [Fri 12th Jul, 2024 14:00 BST]: Are you ready for the long summer nights this weekend? Because the next Splatfest is about to start! Have you picked a place you'd reserve for the day ? That's the question Nintendo asked leading up to the Splatfest, which begins on 13th July (or 12th July for those in North America). So you're either Team Palace, Team Theme Park, or Team Beach. And don't forget the customary new artwork to accompany the Splatfest.

Will you be joining in the fun this weekend? Let us know down below . Original article [Fri 21st Jun, 2024 13:05 BST]: Summer Nights, the next seasonal event coming to Splatoon 3 , was announced just under a month ago . And now Nintendo has revealed the details about the accompanying Splatfest.



As you'd expect from a summer-themed party, this Splatfest is asking fans to pick a place you'd reserve for a whole day. The options are a Palace, a Theme Park, or a Beach. Not the easiest decision, but we think we'd have to go for the Beach.

The Splatfest kicks off on 13th July at 1am BST and runs until 15th July 00:59am BST . Going by previous Splatfest times, we expect that the US equivalent will be on 12th July at 5pm PT to 14th July at 4:59pm PT. The last Splatfest was back in May and was considerably less chipper than a Summer celebration.

It wanted to know what you'd do at world's end. Bucket List won that one. Don't forget, we've also got a guide on all previous and upcoming Splatfests, which we'll update with all the times for the July 2024 Splatfest.

Who will you side with? Are you still hopping online to play Splatfests? Let us know in the comments . About Alana Hagues Alana has been with Nintendo Life since 2022, and while RPGs are her first love, Nintendo is a close second. She enjoys nothing more than overthinking battle strategies, characters, and stories.

She also wishes she was a Sega air pirate. Comments 22 When it finishes, please caption the results article with "did you get very far?" This is the easiest one in a while. BEACH! I appreciate that they announced this on Twitter instead of wasting time in the direct.

This might be the hardest decision yet! (for me personally, I'm finding it difficult to choose) I can't see many choosing Palace, surely there was a better option than that. Me personally I find beaches very boring and when I go on holiday I'm usually the odd one out that just wants to explore whilst everyone else just wants to sunbathe. So I'm going for Team Theme Park, never been dissapointed on a day out at a theme park.

#BIGMANSWEEP (sorry Frye, they gave you the worst option again 😑 ) I’ll choose reserving a Palace. Beach is my second choice because I always love a good, relaxing beach vacation, but a palace would be different, I’ve never had a luxurious vacation, and I miss being on Shiver’s team. Big Man keeps winning all of these special Splatfests anyway.

Too bad this is only for one day. After reading a translated Japanese tweet, I thought it meant renting out a place for all summer. Must have been a bad translation.

Reserving one day at a beach or theme park is normal. A palace is not! On-topic: my initial reaction was to go Theme Park, but @Red_211 ’s comment reminded me that it’s Frye’s option, and idk why, I just don’t really like Frye? I’ll probably just go with whatever team the majority of my friends are on. Off-topic: Are Splatfests usually announced three weeks in advance? Also, regarding the headline’s wording of, “Splatoon 3 Reveals.

..”, is that an SEO thing? Outside of that context, and at least for those of us “in the know”, the wording seems a bit strange.

Which is the hardest color to be spotted swimming around in this time around? That will be the winner and the team I will be in. 😂😂😂 These splatfest choices are getting worse and it seems after 3 games, Nintendo is finally running out of ideas. For the first time, Shiver herself has gotten the worst choice in a splatfest while Frye has at least some chance.

Big Man however is the obvious choice (because summer = beach right?) 3 idols to vote for may have been a good idea on paper, but now Nintendo is just running out of fuel for the splatfest fire. (Who knows, Splatoon 4 might reinvent splatfest altogether..

.) Beaches are kinda overrated tbh. I’ll be sticking with theme park for this one @AccessibleDaydream Thanks for mentioning my comment.

You're the first to do so here's a gold medal! 🥇 I can go to the beach whenever, reservation or not. Not having to queue at the theme park would be novel, but having the entire place deserted because you’d booked it out would make it feel like the set of a horror movie. Having free reign over an entire palace on the other hand sounds awesome! To be king for a day! @Red_211 YEAAAAAH!!! Always love seeing a fellow big man supporter! Never been a big fan of beaches.

I’ve spent summers on a beachfront cottage as a child and I’d still spend my day playing Shadow the Hedgehog and Tetris DS. Don’t really see the value of a palace. Its just a roomier house.

I’m currently house sitting as it is and I feel like this place too big for me. Reserving a theme park sounds like an excellent opportunity to stack a day’s worth of fun activities. Some of my favorite days of my own life already have been spent in theme parks, so to have that opportunity without waiting or reserving sounds too spectacular.

Awesome! Super close to my birthday too! I'm probably going to be team beach. Theme park honestly, that would just be so much fun and the theme park here can be any time park! A palace doesn’t sound all that much fun and the beach is whenever. Beach seemed like the obvious answer until I remember that Puroland and Harmonyland are theme parks.

The generic "a theme park" isn't thing appealing but once I started thinking about the particulars, it got a lot more exciting. If I had Harmonyland to myself for the day, I wonder if I could force them to lift their ban and let Gudetama in the park. Theme Park for me! But it’s gotta be a true theme park like Disney or Nintendo, not one of those amusement parks like has a logo slapped on a rollercoaster.

I don’t care about the rides as much as I do animatronics and fibre glass sculptures. Not a fan of palaces or the sea. A lakeside campsite would be appealing though.

Man, I am so disinterested and checked right out of these lame Splatfests. It's time for folks to admit the truth that Splatfests were never good in this game. Theme Park for me.

Beach man all the way. Cabbage Beach on Paradise Island. Dickinson Bay in Antigua.

Palm Beach in Aruba. Prove me wrong. Tap here to load 22 comments Leave A Comment Hold on there, you need to login to post a comment.
