North America's next Splatfest event in Splatoon has been outlined, and will provide a colourful bit of gaming in time for Halloween.
Kicking off at 9pm Pacific on 30th October - midnight Eastern - it'll be Pirates vs. Ninjas; it's being pitched as a Halloween-themed event because of outfits choices. Whether you buy into that or not is up to you!
In any case Splatfests often go down rather well, and obviously Ninjas are better...
It's also worth noting that the multiplier for wins is going up from 4 to 6, giving a little extra incentive to perform well for your side.
So what'll it be for those of you in North America? Team Ninjas or Team Pirates?

Why does NA get awesome themes and Europe gets crap. ;(
Kind of a tough choice for me. I want to vote Pirates but I think Ninjas will sweep by just having the most votes...
/sorry goemon
@MajorasMax
It is a trade off. Europe gets the better VC Games, while America gets the better Splatfest Theme.
Europe: 1 vs. 2
or pi vs. e
Ninjas!!!
The new score multiplier will be interesting. It seems like in the past few splatfests, the less popular team still managed to win despite being outnumbered. I feel like the increase from 4 to 6 will just continue the pattern. Guess the most popular team will have to fight harder! Good luck to both teams!
Will definitely be doing Ninjas, can't wait for this!
"it's being pitched as a Halloween-themed event because of outfits choices. Whether you buy into that or not is up to you!"
Well it is on Halloween - which I find kind of weird, but used to it at this point w/ the Spaltfest date picking, at least people can play it at parties - and those are 2 very popular kids costumes, so it makes perfect sense to me, not even a question. Glad I got my sea snails from the last 1 a few days ago before they went away.
I hope we get a better mixture of stages this time, last ones were rather mundane and mostly older - Port Macherel Kelp Dome and Blackbelly Skate Park I think. Would like to see at least 1 of the newer ones like Camp Triggerfish, Moray Towers, the heights or the bridge. I'm ok w/o Bluefin Depot.
Not sure which 1 I'll pick, though Johnny Depps mug has me leaning towards ninja.
Ninja's are my favorite class in gaming. They can be stealth, speedy and kick but better than most people.
You all know which team i'm on
It's One Piece vs. Naruto, Luffy wins obviously.
Awesome, if I was in the US I'd do ninjas.
I doubt we'll get a Halloween Splatfest in Europe. If they did, then I wonder what boring Halloween theme they will choose. Darkness vs Thick Fog perhaps?
Gonna have to go with Ninjas. Because edgy ninjas are awesome.
Yar.
Tricky. Ninjas are cooler in base form, but pirates have cooler variants (Sky Pirates, Robot Pirates, Space Pirates, etc).
@Tsurii that made me LOL.
Pirates vs. Ninjas: Party Like It's 2005!
The past couple have beem a hard choice, but my wife and I both easily pick Pirates here.
unforunately im working a double on Halloween so there's no way i will be able to help the Ninjas...how funny would it have been to have had Resident Evil vs. Castlevania....wow the awesomeness
@whodatninja Hm... I'm gonna guess... pirates.
I'm going to win this Splatfest. BELIEVE IT!!!
@manu0 Pi vs. e sounds really good, actually. (Go Team e!)
I'm going to be Splatfest King of the Pirates!
@whodatninja Let me guess, Pirates right?
I'd sooner be a ninja than a pirate, plus gotta side with Marie, so ninjas it is.
Do team ninja's shirts get Ninja Squid?
Pirates vs. Ninjas?
Are we in 2007 again?
@Dr_Corndog ooooooh, now that's a toughy... gah!!! can't decide!!!!!!
@Dr_Corndog I think too many kids don't know about e, though. They probably have heard of pi, but not e.
@manu0 Then it's up to us to educate them. Or Nintendo. Someone.
I have a feeling ninjas are going to win.
I'm so team Ninjas.
Team pirate is the only acceptable answer
Cool theme, I can't decide! Not that I have to since Europe will get napkins vs handkerchiefs or something stupid.
Team Ninja!
I do love me some splatfests.
Have to go with pirates because the ghost zombie demon statue voodoo pirate god LeChuck!
Cool choice of combatants. Gotta go with Pirates.
Pretty good theme!
I think Ninja's will get the popular vote.. but in most cases, the popular team usually loses in wins, which matters more, so it could really go either way.. :/
Arr, me Kremling Kutthroats! Let us sail the seven seas (and splat some squid kids in our inkling disguises)!
@PigmaskFan
viva LeChuck!!!
@TantXL @Not_Soos CORRECT! whodatpirate is my true name XD
Well I'd go pirates but as I live in the UK the net one is going to be thesauruses vs dictionaries'
Europe: Trash vs. garbage
Team Tetra!
Team Ninja, even though Pirates get more booty
Sadly I have a strong feeling my side is going to lose overall. Ninja might be more popular but if it's anything I learned from past NA Splatfest is that popular teams have the least wins and therefore lose overall (the new multiplier will be no help either), unless the pop vote is something like 51-49 then it's fair game. A well, still standing with my team and preference.
This is a tough choice... Probably gonna wait till the day of splatfest to choose as I have no idea which to choose Lol
For the Ink Piece!
Being a ninja involves a life of hard work and dedication.
Being a pirate involves drinking rum and pet monkeys.
It's a pirate's life for me!
Meanwhile in Europe: Grey vs Beige!
B-but... I wanna be a samurai.
If it was Samurai vs Ninjas I would be Samurai all the way. But two teams, both dishonorable bandits? Pirates and Ninjas...thats a tough choice. Ive been away from Splatoon for a while but this will make me jump on again. Im leaning toward Ninja...
In the midst of watching Planetes, so this might endear me toward ninjas, despite Dustin Hoffman.
I was really hoping for at least a few new stages to be added before they stop it all together =/
