Nintendo was always going to struggle to come up with something as cool as the Autobots vs. Decepticons in its next Splatoon Splatfest, and so it's proven.
The next Splatfest in North America isn't all bad though - it's going to be Art vs. Science.
We suspect Team Science will have very logical in its approach to battles, and while Team Art won't always win it'll nevertheless have the most stylish, thought-provoking ink patterns.
In any case you'll be able to register your loyalty this weekend ahead of the event kicking off on 18th September for 24 hours, with a start time of 9pm Pacific / midnight Eastern on that date.
Which side will you be on?

Does it really matter? Both sides are equal in power and ability. Science is about logical solutions while art is the beauty of the heart. Why fight when you can all team up together?
........ Anyone?
Gets splatted
art might win coz thats more splatoon related. I might go sience...

Art all the way, baby.
And I for one am happy this doesn't relate to Transformers in any way.
Team Art will surely use state-of-the art weaponry.
Team Science will prove me wrong!!
I'm picking Art, no question.
Pretty nice choice Splatfest choices again. I needed more Super Sea Snails for the rest of my gear so the timing of this Splatfest is great.
...Boo.
I understand why, but does every Splatfest have to be on the weekends? Their are seven days in a week and I know kids (who do play this game) have school during five of those days but come on.... holiday times???? Not always a weekend. Im away every weekend, and I never get to play a Splatfest.
BTW Art will likely win...... and for Europe?
I'm a medicine man, so I'm gonna have to go with Science. But art will always have a special place in my heart. Right next to my sinoatrial node.
Team art here.
Really tempted to go FOR SCIENCE!! but art can be anything including video games, so art it is!
Go team art!
Oh, it's Right Brain vs. Left Brain. I get it.
I'm equal at both, that is why I am a mechanical designer.
Tough choice.
Nuff said.
I'll go with art since the part of my being that gaming appeals to is more the artistic side and less the scientific.
Science FTW!

Science... SCIENCE! Insert evil laugh here. Sorry, couldn't control myself.
Seriously though, Art will probably win due to popularity, but I'll still pick science. Who knows, it might be like the Transformers Splatfest again, where the minority managed to win. Either way, good luck to both teams!
Picasso had a higher I.Q. than Einstein.

See you guys on the field ! Live Streaming this event so look out ~
Looks like Art may win, but I'll pick Science
Really need more Snails..
@KodyDawg Scientifically speaking, it's actually ink.
Science of course, if only for the cool looking beaker image.
@NightmareEater but science is immeasurably more important to society and the progress of humankind. But I live in Europe so I can't contribute amyway XD
@IAmDeclanJay I agree! I usually work during the weekends, so I've only managed to join the very 1st splatfest for a few rounds before it was over. Haven't been able to participate in any other splatfest since.
@KodyDawg It's not paint, it's ink.
Thus one sounds great fun. I'd choose science, because FOR SCIENCE.
However, I'm in Europe, so I guess the choice will be something lame like Peas vs Carrots.
@crimsontadpoles Or Slacks vs Shorts
Europe's one is actually asking about the the state of your bedroom. Messy or Tidy?
I guess I'll be on Team Tidy. The US one sounds much more fun though, as always.
@crimsontadpoles This is another Splatfest i'm not sad I'll miss out on.
(I don't have wifi ATM)
@whodatninja I'll still do this for the Super Sea Snails. But yet again, it's not a question that'll make me want to battle to the death to resolve (or whatever the Inkling equivalent of death is)
@crimsontadpoles Yeah I'd probably just go "eenie meeni miney mo" or however that rhyme goes. Whereas with US Splatfest, I couldn't possibly pick between both sides, as I care deeply about both arts and sciences.
And even saying Neatfreak vs Slacker (or whatever the opposite of Neatfreak is) would be better!
@whodatninja NoE could really do with getting a few young children and asking them what issues matter to them. I bet they would give much more interesting and creative answers than the current person who chooses it.
NOOOOOOOO, two of my favourite .... Subjects? Hobbies? I don't know, but all I know Is that Europe WON'T get this and that I want this splatfest sooooooo bad. Please Europe can't we have the same splatfest as NA, just once?
Break the cycle, focus on science

I guess this is the first time I leave Callie's side in Splatfest. Science FTW!!
I used to draw while I have never done anything science related. So I am going Art.
I'm going to change it up this time and go with the team that seems most likely to lose popular vote, and pick science. However, that is what I would pick anyway as my artistic talent registers as nil.
She blinded me
with science...
The scientific fields, including technology, come more naturally to me. So, science.
I do participate in the performing arts though. If you are in the Chicago area, look up Overshadowed's SongSmythe- a musical play about the life of Philip Bliss, 19th century songwriter (especially hymns).
They wanted to do Religion vs Science cause it's North America but then they were like "oooh...."
Science no doubt, looking forward to this.
I went to a museum and saw some modern art the other day.
Science all the way.
I'm so busy with Mario Maker and class work but I hope science wins. For the people who are still alive.
Science all the way, but Art will almost certainly get the popular vote.
Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael are VERY conflicted right now.
"We drop science, we've got the mathematics! ~The Artists
The upcoming European Splatfest theme is tidy vs. messy bedrooms (honestly!). Mine's messy btw
well, i do use the rollers and the brush in this.... so.
I know Splatfests only happen once-a-month, but it would be nice if Nintendo waited a bit longer so people could get the Splatfest theme out of their heads.
Welp, time to pull out my ink brush and join team art
Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!
Art for days.
