    Splatfests

    When you cast your vote on a theme and take the field with not just a single win or loss at stake, but also team spirit and passion for a greater cause, that's a Splatfest! There have been dozens of these limited-time themed face-offs going back to the first Splatoon™ game for the Wii U™ system. Here we'll take a look back at their history.
