During last month's Splatoon Nintendo Direct, a special competition was announced called Splatfest. It's a party-like atmosphere in which players choose sides and compete for the top spot; instead of who covers the most turf, the winner of Splatfest is determined by the total amounts of points the team earns. Fire up the game to go pick your team right now, you'll even receive a temporary t-shirt to show your support.

The first contest is coming June 20 to June 21 with Cats vs. Dogs being the first tournament. The video below shows off the hype surrounding Splatfest, which is hosted by the Squid Sisters and gets the entire population of Inkopolis grooving.
