Nintendo of Japan has announced the next Splatfest for Splatoon 2 in Japan, Flowers vs. Dangos (Japanese dumplings). We’ve included an overview of the event and the signifcance of the upcoming Splatfest, courtesy of frozenpandaman on Reddit.
This theme is a reference to the Japanese phrase hana yori dango, meaning “dumplings over flowers,” referring to the person who prefers the practical over the aesthetic – also stated as function over decoration, substance over form, or value over appearance. So the question is asking, as a person, which do you prefer, or which do you choose? Are you the type of person who chooses the hana, flowers, or dango, or dumplings?
The idiom stems from the type of people who attend hanami, flower viewing (e.g. sakura/cherry blossoms or ume/plum blossoms), who immediately go to purchase food from vendors instead of gazing at the flowers.
The next Japanese Splatfest will begin on March 3rd, 15:00 Tokyo, Japan time. For all things, Nintendo and Splatoon 2, stay tuned to NinMobileNews.
