Nintendo wrapped up its regular Splatfests in Splatoon 2 some time ago, with Team Chaos (led by Pearl) taking out the grand finale. Since then, there have been some minor patches for the game, and from time to time, new official artwork has released on the Splatoon social accounts. Today is one of those days:
To celebrate White Day in Japan (an event on 14th March where the person who received a gift on Valentine's Day returns the favour), Nintendo's official Japanese Splatoon account on Twitter shared a special greeting card featuring Agent 8 and Agent 3.
Are you still playing Splatoon on a regular basis? Did you gift anything on White Day? Tell us below.

SPLATOON 3 LEAKED!!!!! COMING 2020
I hope there is a Splat Roller statue in New Horizons.
@DAHstroy ...you joke, but her hair is shaped like a 3, and this isn't the first Splatoon art work this year with a hidden message. Remember "Save Our Salmon"?
On a side note, what a beautiful holiday. Payback for Valentine’s Day? Yes please
My country would just get bent out of shape by the name
inb4 "Japan is racist" comments.
I’m in desperate need of Splat 3 now. I also want a fully featured Grizzco game, with more maps, enemies, player progression, unlocks and customisations.
I want Splatoon 3 as much as the next guy, because I love the series. But I’m just not one that thinks Splatoon 3 will come to the switch anytime soon, I’m not even sure there’ll be another entry until Nintendo’s next system rolls around. The timing just doesn’t feel right.
I play a ton of splatoon.
Ummm white day? You couldn't have called it something else?
Love this game, simply the best shooter ever made. Can't wait for Splatoon 3.
If there is no splatoon 3:
“I’ll never forgive the Japanese!”
Okok I'll admit I did question the name of the holiday at first too 🤣 But on hearing it explained it sounds like a nice holiday.
I love the new Splatoon artwork though!
I’m a fan since a couple of weeks actually.
What a great game!
Mankind‘s been celebrating White Day for quite some time now.
Blimey. Didn't take long for the easily-triggered to react to the name. Get a grip.
I haven't really touched Splatoon 2 much ever since the last Splatfest. I still love the game but without Splatfests I guess I haven't had much reason to dive back in. Though I'd totally dive into Splatoon 3 if that comes.
That said.. don't care about Valentine's day so I don't care about this day either.
According to the delayed Nintendo Direct, there's been talks over a Splatoon spinoff based on the comic.
The game play has been described as a Splatoon meets Fortnite.
Assuming this is true, it would add to the notion of this game being used to show the full extent of the Nintendo Switches power.
If you've watched enough anime then you'll have heard of White Day before.
But never mind that, is no one going to talk about the actual tweet?
The message is nice, but what does Agent 8 and Agent 3 hovering over C. Q. Cumber have to do with Valentine's Day or White Day?
Nah. After two years of playing, and more hours playing Splatoon 2 than I can admit in public, I burned out on Splatoon in November/December.
I've been playing Rocket League lately. And now I've got to go look up "White Day" - no clue what it is.
People thirsty for news are taking this as a hint for Splatoon 3.
White Day originated in Japan in the 70s. It’s called “White Day” because the traditional confections given that day are colored white, such as white chocolate or marshmallows.
On Valentines Day in Japan, it’s traditional for women to give chocolates to men in her life, and she can give different ones depending on her feelings towards them. For example, she can give a simple pack of chocolates to her co-worker, but will give a fancier, more expensive box to her boyfriend, or she can make chocolates herself, which I think is considered the kind for deepest affection.
On White Day, men return the favor, but are expected to do it more than the value of the gifts they received.
I think we should celebrate white day in Ameri...
<<This person has been removed from the internet forever>>
Personally I ship both female versions together
I really wish they would give some news on splatoon 3. After reaching X rank and splatfests ending there’s not too much to do besides play league battle. Also, splatoon 2 has the highest sales for any exclusive shooting game beside halo 2 so it’s a win for Nintendo and needs to happen
@Zeldafan79 Why? "White day" is perfectly fine.
