Transform and roll out! Splatoon gets Autobots vs. Decepticons event

This isn’t the first time Nintendo’s teamed up with another company for a Splatfest event. For the full details, see Nintendo’s press release below.

Nintendo’s popular shooter Splatoon shall be getting yet another Splatfest event- and this time, the stakes are going to be far higher. They’ll be joining forces with Hasbro to let players battle over Autobot and Decepticon supremacy in a Transformers-themed take on the online battle celebration. The ink that each team shoots will also be customized to match the color scheme of the chosen side. Characters called Inklings can transform into squids as they attempt to cover the play area with their team’s colorful ink and splat opponents. In addition to Miiverse bragging rights, players can earn special sea snails that they can exchange for extra power-up slots on their gear or re-roll gear abilities, by visiting the shady guy Spyke in the alley (seriously).

From 9PM PT on Friday, August 28 through 9PM PT the next day, Splatoon will allow players to pledge their allegiance to one of the two perpetually warring factions of Transformers.
