Nintendo has announced the next event coming to Splatoon 2 is the Spring Festival. This time around, players will be siding with team hare or team tortoise to decide once and for all who would win in a race. This Splatfest will start on 19th April and runs for 48-hours. Here's the official announcement:
As a bonus, some spring coloured gear will also be given out via the Squid Research Lab Report (Splatoon 2) News Channel on the Switch. This includes custom-coloured visors and a variety of Pearl and Marina-designed kicks:
Version 4.6.0 of Splatoon 2 will also be released on 2nd April. Here's what you can expect from it:
This update will include twelve Sheldon’s Picks weapons and weapon badges that display your dedication to a particular weapon.

FINALLY ANOTHER WEAPON WITH BURST BOMB LAUNCHER!
Also Booyah + Aerospray. Get ready to be DBZ'd every ten seconds.
So glad we're getting another update. I had a feeling there would be at least one more. Also team tortoise for the win!
Slow and steady my friends...
@Thwomp_Stomper you took my line
THIS HEAVY SPLATLING REMIX HAS MY NAME WRITTEN ALL OVER IT!!
...also another festive Splatfest, heck yeah! Bring it on! <3
@NintendoByNature Too quick...ironic 😁
Oh no, I'm going to have a maximum badge for my silver Aerospray. Should I be ashamed? Don't worry, I don't use it in Ranked.
Hi Nintendo, please sell me real Splatoon clothes and shoes, k thanks bye.
@Thwomp_Stomper lol nice one 😅
@NintendoByNature "you took my line"
Hey, thats my line!
@Ardisan don't try to take my line when I'm in the midst of taking someone else's! 😉
Sweet idea for a splatfast
Not sure what side to pick but glad there's a Splatfest as I missed the last one.
The weapon badges appear retroactively for older weapons, I assume?
Team tortoise because... I like turtles.
Well... we all know how THAT fable ended!
I like the pearlescent squid kid IV shoes
Team Tortoise huh? Time to break out the Dynamo Roller!
I dare to defy. I think I’m gonna roll with team Hare. Always hated that Buggs lost to that dumb tortoise.
Much more excited about the new gear and weapons, but I do very much enjoy when the Splatfest gets decked out in seasonal decor.
i didnt realize how badly i needed more pink gear
I loved the last Splatfest, which was my first, so I`ll play the heck out of this one. 48 hours is music to my ears.
BooYah little Hares! @Chimaj I immediately thought of you. Hope we can team up again!
Those new shoes look fresh! Awesome-can’t wait for Springfest!
White Dapple Daulies with a better sub bomb and better special? I haven't played Splatoon 2 in literal months now but this makes me wanna consider jumping back in...
@MattFox Sure, I'd love to! 😊 Tried to invite you to league once with the app, do you have it? Hard to know if it's working
@Chimaj I have the app, but I only saw it hours after you invited me 😅. Sometimes I check my cellphone like 2 times a day and thats it lol. I`ll change the notifications so hopefully next time I`ll see it in time lol. If you have twitter ( Matt89Fox ) you can DM me an hour and I`ll log in, or even through Nintendo Life as well.
It's like choosing between cute bunnies and badass ninja turtles. Urgh... this one is tough.
@MattFox Oh I see, haha! I don't have twitter unfortunatly, but is it possible to send personal messages on Nintendolife? Anyway, you can try to invite me too!
I have all the gear in the Game but the Amiibo items. So with new stuff I sure will be thrilled. plus it looks awesome. (plus I don't have the japan exclusive gear, witch is a bummer.
