This weekend, Japanese players will duke it out in the Grand Finals of the Sanrio-themed splatfest tournament, which has taken place in Nintendo’s Splatoon2 over the last fortnight.

Today sees the two finalists, Hello Kitty and My Melody, go face-to-face to be crowned the best Sanrio character (though the people have clearly made their voices heard as to which unseeded outsider is the true winner). As both finalists were Pearl’s picks, she has magnanimously allowed Marina to take My Melody, allowing her a horse in the race. What a saint.

Players worldwide can also enjoy some new content, live in the colourful shooter right now. The amusement park-themed Wahoo World is now available in game, along with a new batch of weapons which went live earlier in the week. You can check out the new instruments of destruction right here.

The Hello Kitty vs My Melody splatfest is live in Japan right now, ending tomorrow at 15:00 JST.
