Splatoon 3's August 2024 Splatfest Delivers Victory to Team Rice
Splatoon 3, Nintendo’s acclaimed multiplayer shooter for the Nintendo Switch, continues its string of vibrant community-driven events with the conclusion of August 2024’s highly anticipated Splatfest: 'Which Could You Eat Every Day?'.
This time, the competition revolved around the age-old debate of bread vs.
rice vs.
pasta—a fittingly appetizing theme for one of the year’s most popular online events.
Running from August 10, 2024 at 1:00am BST to August 12, 2024 at 00:59am BST (with North American times from August 9 at 5:00pm PT to August 11 at 4:59pm PT), the event showcased the enduring popularity of Splatfests in keeping the Splatoon community engaged on the Nintendo Switch platform.
Ahead of the weekend, Nintendo officially unveiled new celebratory art to mark the Splatfest and encouraged players to pick their favorite carb and battle for supremacy in Turf War matches.
After a weekend of frenetic ink battles and spirited team rivalry, it was Team Rice that emerged victorious, securing an impressive 460 points.
Team Pasta followed with 260 points, while Team Bread earned 150 points.
According to Nintendo’s official Splatfest tally, Team Rice claimed the trophy by a significant margin, leaving Bread and Pasta trailing behind.
Splatoon’s community leaders commended the efforts of all participants, with a nod to Team Rice’s decisive performance.
Splatoon 3 Splatfests—limited-time events where players align with a team based on their personal preference and compete in online matches—have become a mainstay for fostering engagement and friendly competition within the game’s player base.
The August Splatfest’s theme, pitting popular starches against each other, sparked light-hearted debate and excitement across social media and gaming forums.
As a tradition after each Splatfest, Nintendo updates the leaderboard and releases acknowledgment for every team’s efforts.
The recent Splatfest follows the momentum of July’s 'Summer Nights' event, which saw Team Beach taking the win.
