Alongside the Tetris 99 competition next weekend (giving you a chance to unlock an exclusive Tetris Game Boy theme), Splatoon 2 will be holding another Splatfest in both North America and Europe.
The big question this time around is would you prefer to be able to time travel or teleport? As usual, you'll have to pick a side and then fight for what you believe in on the battlefield. Here are some additional details for both regions from the official Nintendo Twitter accounts:
It’s time for the new #Splatoon2 #Splatfest! Which superpower would you rather have? Will you break the clock with #TeamTimeTravel or take a trip with #TeamTeleportation?
This event runs from 5/17 9:00pm PT – 5/18 9:00pm PT.
Which superpower would you rather have: Time Travel or Teleportation? Choose a side and battle it out in next #Splatoon2 Splatfest, starting 18/05 14:00 CEST.
As usual, this event is limited to the weekend – so be sure to set aside some time to play if you want your side to win.
Which team will you be joining? Tell us down below.

Teleportation. Easy choice
Time travel! I would go back in time, and market the Wii U better before launch, and stop production of the first Splatoon game.
Definitely teleportation just on the basis of time travel being way too dangerous.
Time travel, mostly just to see past events, not to change them. Seeing dinosaurs could be cool.
Time Travel, you can just travel into the future where teleportation is common & get that ability too!
Time travel ruins everything. Flash/xmen/endgame. So teleportation! More fuel efficient as well
Time travel all the way but only forward,backwards messes everything up. I'll go forward a century or two and upload my mind into a simulation where I can create my own virtual utopia.
Both are dangerous, but id have to go with time travel. Dr. Who! There should have been a bow tie on that squid!
For those wondering why teleportation would be dangerous, there's the basic stuff like teleporting into a wall, but i also wonder what the side affects of your body merging with random dust particles could be. Dusty blood does not sound like a good thing. Neither does dust in the heart.
I’m on the team that can apparate 😁
Time travel provided it is an inate ability. And could be conjured at will. I’d undermine and destroy slavery in the US before it got off the ground.
@BensonUii I'll take a parachute, jetpack and life jacket with me. That combo should hopefully get me back to land safely if I get my calculations wrong.
Time trouble
So basically would I rather have the time stone or the space stone.
As much as I'd love being able to time travel, I think teleportation would be more useful. I wouldn't need a car. I wouldn't have to pay insurance on it! I wouldn't have to pay for gas and maintenance! I could go anywhere I want at any time. That would be AWESOME!
@Ryu_Niiyama When Jax from Mortal Kombat ended slavery with time travel, the internet didn't seem to like that much, so be careful there.
Also can we talk about how teleporting is essentially killing off someone and then reconstructing a new version of them somewhere else? Because that has ethical rammifications. Just look at what happened to Thomas Riker.
@Ryu_Niiyama The US would be a completely different country if there was no slavery.
Teleportation. Much better to be able to be wherever you want whenever you want. Bonus points if you can also teleport items or other people.
@abbyhitter Yep. That would be wonderful.
@Desrever If I cared what the “internet” thought I’d never get out of bed. I’ve got my flameshield and ignore list ready though. I don’t need an inbox full of silliness.
Team Teleportation without a doubt. You could go on holiday all the time. If you fancy going to Canada or Japan for the weekend, you just go. You could steal gold bullion from major banks/do smuggling in seconds... or for something more wholesome you could work for NASA and bring samples/photos back from planets.
Time travel. You don’t need teleportation if you can move through time and space.
But then I only have to keep an eye out for those Daleks.
Since the art is just loose references to Dr Who and Star Trek, then do I have to remind you why you must not be with red shirts if you know Star Trek?
@sanderev
time travel is moving just through time, not space. Wherever you start a time jump at, that's where you'll end up just either forward or backward in time.
The same with teleportation. That's moving through space but not time.
@The_Keywork If you're moving through time you're automatically moving through space at the same time. Simply because space is always moving.
Time travel all the way
Time travel! It is teleportation anyways since the Earth is constantly moving, ha ha.
Time travel is cool and all, but if Back to the Future taught me anything, it is really risky. I've always dreamed of teleporting wherever I wanted, so Team Teleportation it is!
Teleportation kills you and creates a perfect clone of yourself. Time Travel FTW.
teleportation, easily. time travel is cool, but easily abusable and dangerous. plus, instant fast travel!
Teleportation. I don’t trust myself with time travel, I’d abuse it and face awful consequences. Teleportation would help greatly in my day to day life. Heck, I could live anywhere regardless of where my work is or my friends or family are, as I could teleport between places at any time!
@Desrever Exactly, it has to be time travel for me because the transporter just copies you and kills you.
why not both.
Teleportation easily for me. No planes, or cars needed when I can be anywhere at once.
Time travel because I wouldn't have to worry about SNES games coming to the Switch. I could go back in time and play the originals.
Avengers: Endgame taught me that time travel just sucks. So I just teleport back in time lel
Of course I'm team teleportation, I could travel the world!
Wish it was a 48 hour splatfest again. Don't think I'll get chance to play this one as me and the wife are having a joint 40th birthday / 10th wedding anniversary party next saturday evening then a bbq on the sunday for my son's 12 th birthday.
And i want to try and get that that tetris gameboy theme too. It's a hard life!
@sanderev
Incorrect. Watch The Time Machine. Time travel is just that. Moving through time only.
@technotreegrass
That's using a teleporter. Think about how Nightcrawler or Thanos teleport. That's not killing yourself and making a clone.
@The_Keywork Actually I based my answer off of actual science, not fiction. Time travel like in the Time Machine works off of increasing / reversing the flow of time. And that is something that actually does not exist.
Actual time travel would mean moving through time. For example: doctor who. Or theories like folding of space. And a lot more if you'd google it. You'll learn the mechanics of time travel and why it's simply impossible. (With today's technology at least)
@sanderev
Good job piecing that one together.
BREAKING NEWS!!! LOCAL IDIOT DISCOVERS THAT TIME TRAVEL IS IMPOSSIBLE.
@The_Keywork If it was possible then were all these time travellers?
@immensechicken spoiler alert before mentioning end game
I'm taking these splatfests too seriously, overanalyzing and can't decide...
teleportation because the guy looks like star trek and its safer
I know there are a lot of limits to Time Travel so I might as well go with Teleportation
@Chimaj When in doubt, go for whichever side has the better ink color. And if that doesn't work, then just leave it to a "Pearl vs. Marina" waifu preference.
@Desrever Good tip! Sometimes i choose for the ink color. This time I think time travel is cooler in both color and picture.
@sanderev We're all travelers of time and space. We're just currently trapped by speed and direction limitations.
