Trivia

 * This is the first Splatfest to ever be announced after its successor.
 * The announcement of Family vs. Friends was most likely pushed ahead to before the Version release, due to its unique decor and appearances being in the game files in advance, and previous instances of data miners extracting such information as soon as a new version is released.
 * The team shortname values (which are displayed in-game and in SplatNet 2) are written in plural form in all languages except English and French (Canada). The other exception is Japanese, in which the singular and plural are identical.
 * The theme and colors are similar to the North American Autobots vs. Decepticons Splatfest of.
 * When changing the color of the Splatfest signs that can be obtained from Cece and Viché's respective RVs in Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo, the Left Splatfest Sign's ink color can be changed to "Hero Red", while the Right Splatfest Sign's color can be changed to "Villain Purple".
