It's getting to be that time once again for the monthly Splatfest in Splatoon. After last month's epic battle between Spongebob and Patrick in the first Splatfest where both North America and Europe could compete, Nintendo is stepping it up and increasing the scope even more. The Splatfest taking place next weekend will be a simultaneous battle between all regions.
The theme is inspired by the fashion side of Miitomo, and the question is whether you prefer fancy parties or costume parties. Considering the sheer number of participants that will likely be part of this, it'll be interesting to see the final results. The times when the Splatfest will be taking place are as follows:
8 PM (13th May) – 3 AM (15th May) PST
4 AM (14th May) – 11 AM(15th May) UK
What do you think? Which side will you be taking? What are some themes you'd like to see in future Splatfests? Drop us a comment in the section below.

What about LAN parties?
I don't really go to parties, but when I do it's neither of those two. But a costume party sounds more interesting.
I don't like dressing up period. If I had to choose it would be formal. My guess is costume will win popular vote and lose like most splatfests.
@Aurumonado Nintendo has never championed LAN parties. The only console to support LAN was the Gamecube and the measly 6(?) games that supported it.
Although, it might be more interesting....
go team costume!
Team Marie all day every day
Costume Party
@Yoshi Well. At least one Game supports LAN multiplayer in Wii U. Sadly, it's not Splatoon.
Cosplay!
I'm on holiday that weekend, so I can finally compete in my first splatfest. Yeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!
Team costume for me [despite likely ending up being the popular side, which will unfortunately lead to it being the losing side due to having more lower-skilled players...]
Since this is a tie-in with miitomo, it'd be cool if they could put coins, tickets, or platinum coins on the line for this Splatfest. Wishful thinking, of course, but would be cool none the less.
Wait what?! 4am -11am? That's awful timing for me looks like I'll be missing this one!
@DoctorOverbuild It's 4am Saturday until 11am Sunday, so you've got more than 24 hours to enjoy this.
For this Splatfest, I'll follow my heart and go with costume parties, even though this looks like the popular choice.
It looks like I'm on Marie's team yet again since Costume Parties is on the right of the picture. I would have expected it to be the other way around.
@DoctorOverbuild: Don't fret! It's across a day and a half, so you'll have plenty of time on Saturday.
I, for one, will be representing fancy parties. I can't resist a girl in a pretty dress! Call me old-fashioned, but fancy dresses are better than slutty costumes.
I pick fancy parties! But, I won't be able to participate in the Splatfest that weekend.
If I had to choose I'd say fancy parties though I don't really care for either.
I like all types of parties as long as they are fun and enjoyable. So whichever one is Marie's is the one for me.
No parties! As an early bird, I naturally get tired when most parties start out. Also, I hate the entire "We are all so happy and joyfull- so you have to be, too!" thing that seems to surround most festivities such as Christmas or parties in general. I just want to read a good book, watch some dumb movie and play videogames, nothing more, nothing less.
Odd....neither for me. I'll flipba coin this time.
Fancy Parties, because the hot Dog costume is scary, and a bit of a turn off.
I don't care for typical parties, but I do like costumes. Especially goofy ones.
Worldwide huh? Be ready for getting dropped regularly playing online more than ever.
Fancy Party has to be Marie right?
Oh. It is the night of Eurovision Song Contest final
I can't do both the same time, because need sound for both.
Not party person either (except that LAN party) but I go with costume.
@Nicolai You just took Splatfest to entirely new level!
costume vs classy
LAN parties best parties
@Olmectron It does support LAN multiplayer... but it still requires an Internet connection to make it work.
Oh... another splatfest where I have to decide if I want to answer honestly or if I want to win.....hmm.....
Come on Fancy Parties.
Cinderella versus Hot Dogs
@DoctorOverbuild 31 hour splatfest.
@Zach777
My thoughts exactly...
@Olmectron Splatoon supports LAN parties!
Not off TV play though...
Wouldn't it be awesome if the team outfits really were hotdogs suit versus Formal Wear
It does make me wonder with them having an international splat fest whether the numbers are creeping down for Splatoon and that's why they're doing it. Just a theory.
@Grumblevolcano @crimsontadpoles @Nicolai Thanks guys I read that completely wrong, Also it's pretty interesting that it's worldwide!
