The Splatoon 2 community may still be healing after the game`s first divisive Splatfest, which saw Team Mayo defeat Team Ketchup in a battle for condiment supremacy, but that won`t stop Nintendo from causing another rift among fans. Today, the company announced the first details for the game`s next Splatfest, which is set to begin soon.The next competition takes place in two weeks, on September 1-2. Unlike the previous Splatfest (or the pre-release World Premiere demo that pit ice cream against cake), this one doesn`t revolve around food. Rather, it asks players to make a much more difficult choice: which superpower would you rather have, flight or invisibility?Nintendo hasn`t announced timing details for the Splatfest just yet, but it will presumably run for a full 24 hours, just as the previous competition. Once voting begins, players can choose their side from the booth in Inkopolis Square, though once you make a selection, you won`t be able to change teams. Splatfest winners are determined by three criteria: popularity, solo wins, and team wins.We already know at least one stage that players will battle on during the competition: Shifty Station. This new map only appears in Splatoon 2`s stage rotation during Splatfests. Moreover, its layout changes from event to event, so players can expect to see a new variation of it for this Splatfest.Splatoon 2 is available exclusively for Switch. Those who`ve yet to pick either up will soon have a chance to get both at once; Nintendo announced it will release a special Splatoon 2 Switch bundle in the US. The bundle goes on sale September 8 and will be available exclusively at Walmart stores for $380. It includes a digital copy of the game, neon pink and green Joy-Cons, and a Splatoon-themed Switch carrying case.
