Splatoon

In order to celebrate the launch of the GO4Splatoon online tournaments, Nintendo of Europe published an interview with Hisashi Nogami (Producer) and Katsuya Eguchi (General Producer). 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)
