It consists in a series of short questions (and answers) about Splatoon, the Squid Research Lab, and also the Splatfests.
Here’s our favorite answer (about pineapple in pizza):
- HN: I’m okay with that.
- KE: That’s unbelievable for me.
- HN: I like it! I even put pineapple on top of my hamburgers! In Japan, we have a Chinese recipe where you have fried pork with pieces of pineapple inside, and I like that too.
- KE: Some people don’t.
- All: (laughs)
