for only $50? what a stealnew info on salmonids is being posted by splatoon social medias
Too close...
>>737420032i hope we get a chance to ride in the scuba tank
It's technically 60, Nintendo is just trying to salvage shit but it's pretty ni,e same price as 3 and 20 gb it's going to be kino
>>737420848fully on the cart, worth it
This fat nigga is called Salty Tongue btw Basically he's your average famitsu poster and the other tweets confirms those salmons are more dangerous than ours
>>737420515damn first she gets grabbed by frye and now this
>>737421251thats a walking maws!
>>737420515why do they make these things so sexy?
>>737420032forehead
>>737422330WWHHYYY
>>737422370smooching spot
Do you think raiders or 4 will be the "past" game? These fish look a little caveman-y but that may just be to distinguish them from the mainland salmonids.
We got a better look at the claw one too
>>737421251how does he have hair?
>>737422573maybe
>>737422573I’m glad we consume the fuck out of salmon, they really are this ugly.
>>737422375is it just me or did they make frye's lips more filling and luscious
>>737423641twist : distant past means atlantis is still up there and we are gonna meet spatial tech in the end game.
>>737422573>>737423641I hope not, that'd be lame, they always wanted to have red fishes so I hope it's just a different races of them, no way they got scrapper and slammin lid in the past. Pretty sure everything looks primitive because they're in the middle of nowhere, they barely have clothes so gears like weapons would need to be crafted and made using whatever you could find, hell the mehcnaic's weapon is a shampoo bottle in one part of the trailer
>>737423787> hell the mehcnaic's weapon is a shampoo bottle in one part of the trailercould just be a human shampoo bottle
Bring back off the hook.I don't care about shitver and her retard forehead friend
>>737420032>can’t actually play and understand this without having done the campaigns and every single splatfest and dlc for splatoon 1-3 (all splatfest content is fomo)Wow
>>737424076True...
>>737424076Two treasure-hungry gals and their mantaray are searching for treasure because they're treausre-hungry. They hire you because you can maintain and fly your own helicopter. You crash and are stranded in the middle of nowhere. You're searching for raw materials to help your situation, while also searching for treasure because everyone are treasure-hungry. Also. Salmonids are rabid though their eggs are useful.
>>737423641>time travel plotpls no, the last thing splatoon's lore needs is time travel shenanigans
>>737424076Campaigns yes to get full context, though I doubt Side Order will be relevant. Splatfests don't matter, knowing that each game's Final Fest influences something about the next game's theming is just a neat bonus.
>Splatoon 3 had unused salmon modes>Undergound mode>Bigger Golden eggs with harder salmon>All in raiders, with the undergound stuff being dungeonsSo is this it? Are they reusing that scrapped mode for Raiders? Would kind of make sense with that one "reused dlc idea" theory i guess
>>737420032Is 50 only on digital, fuck digital.
I don't get it, why the focus on her bare feet?
>>737425582soles sell
That feeling when no tomboy mechanic squid gf with a piloting licence.
>>737422573They are clearly based of Dodo's.So you are sorta right.
Why is the game 20gb
>>737420032I dunno anything about this game. Is it going to focus on single player and PvE like some people thought?
>>737432062It's a single player campaign with optional online/local co-op
>>737431012They didn't compress the woomies.
is the side order DLC worth getting the pass for? I got to level 4 in Splatoon 3 and never played it again after getting my ass beat so bad in multiplayer lmao.
>>737432449No, there's not enough replayability, sadly
>>737422573>>737423641>past autismThey're just feral, for fuck’s sale
>>737432449Not for someone like you, I’d suspect. For me it was
>>737420032I never realized how much I wanted a Borderlands but its Splatoon game
>>737432920How so?
>>737433184I’m a Splatoon addict and you aren’t. But maybe if you like the core gameplay of Splatoon a lot and are just multiplayer averse, if you like roguelikes but don’t mind relatively little mid-run variety and aren’t too hard up for cash
>>737433501I mean yeah the gameplay was fun but just didn't want my dick smashed in with hammers by tryhard JP players. I enjoy roguelikes and have money.
>>737433067Honestly, Splatoon's mechanics and worldbuilding are so neat I would want to try anygame that got a splatoon flavored reskin.
>>737424076>A post- post apocaliptic world where the two races that rised to take the spot that mankind left were the callamari and the octopus. >They even rediscovered Japan's sense of fashion and idol culture>They had several wars over who gets to be the dominant species.>They settled in a middle ground for co existance when they discovered another semi sentient species they could enslave to to all the labor they didn't want to>Slave trade business kept growing despite a small slave rebellion >Now (you) are hired by the new East India Company to find and secure a new slave trade route >Oh and somebody found the new holy land and that escalated conflict from race wars to religious wars (3 religious factions) but that is not related to this game That's it. You are good to go.
>>737420032do those rumored 32gb and 16gb carts are already out there?, do you thinks this have anyh?
>>737433634Isn't a religious war a downgrade from race war? Salmonids arent slaves they are food. And a clean alternate energy source to zapfish.
>>737433630Oh yeah!? How about a Splatoon grand strategy game?
>>737433628Side Order sucks, as you already own the game I'd recommend just trying salmon run.
>>737433876You are literally given a house salmonoid at the begining of 3.
>>737433628Then give it a shot. I think it’s very fun, even if limited in scope. Even after 100%ing it, I go back every now and then for a quick run. The style and music is really great too
>>737433876>cleanOut of everything the salmonids are, clean isn't how I'd describe them. To get the energy from them you still need to have grounds for them to live and breed, those places are literal dumps.
>>737433904they could make a batallion war version of the great squid war
>>737434059>No comment
I need to cum in a squid
Here's your final boss btw
>>737433904Grand strategy would probably be the hardest, since it doesnt really leverage ink. But the culture of the splatoon society is unlike anything that is being simulated right now. Like the relationship between the different races. Salmonids are absolutely insane as a concept, warrior cult race in a modern era that ritually charge to their death so that they can be consumed in a delicious meal and be reborn. In most games a culture like that would be something to stamp out and reeducate. Because life doesnt work like that. But in the splatoon universe it actually does. We embrace their suicidal culture and help it along. Inklings can't swim but are inexoribly tied to ocean life. Jellyfish make up 90% of the work force because they dont really understand hobbies, except skateboarding. And have 0 political or management goals. Octolings have a slave race made from cut off tentacles that can have lives of their own. 80% of the economy is entertainment and fashion products for the inkling society.
>>737435942>Octolings have a slave race made from cut off tentacles I dunno anon, have you seen a female octoling? You can't say that those do not have regular genitals.
>>737436139All the Octoling hair styles in Raiders are specifically avoiding cutting off tentacles for that reason.However it doesn't mean they're missing other things for recreational purposes.
For me it's this one
I believe in Frye supremacy
>>737436308I just had to double check but i never noticed this. With the possible exception of the afro octolings dont cut their tentacles in any hairstyle in 3. I guess they dont want rogue living tentacles wandering around.
>>737436517SEXWITH FRYE
>>737436612ファック
>>737436612WHAT DOES IT SAY
>>737436517i wonder what her ability does
>>737437140Summon a eels tornado probably, like in her boss fight
Glad that Splatoon is establishing a single player line for the series. I'd be happy to see Deep Cut and their treasure hunting ways become the face of the spinoffs while Squid Sisters remain the single player idols, and Off the Hook the DLC idols.
>>737438256Boo, we don’t need to recycle the same characters every time. Let them phase out as their stories are completed
>>737438256Let Splatoon 4 have that game's idols as the single player and DLC idols
>>737425582>>737426146they're nonbinary, inklings dont have gender
Think we'll get any new or variations of King Salmonids?
>>737440709Hard to say if the new bosses will count as kings. I hope they’re distinct actually. I’d love to see the kings reused (and potential new ones) on the islands as natural disaster type events or something.
squiddies
>>737439049Splatoon 4 will have 2 groups of idols with 4 members, thus making the total 8. Each group will be segregated between Wooms and Veems. trust
What do you guys think those blue crystals are? The same as the collectivles? For a bit i thought it was salt but it's blueish, but not blue enough to be the collectible you mine for so idk
>>737420032$50 for Marie? Day one.
>>737443082marie isn't in this one, thank godnone of the idols are except deep cut
>>737443271>He thinks Marie isn't making an appearance
>>737442189SEAKB48 here we come.
>>737420032if it doesn't have matchmaking i'm not getting it
>>737443836it's 4-player co-op
>>737444002so is Salmon Run
>>737442902I think spirhalite is just the large form of the salt we see here or on salmonid or under our feet in the clip with the mech jump
>>737444002>>737444121to be clear i'm referring to this"team up with friends" does not inspire confidence that there will be anything but friends list invites
>>737420032>single player splatoonflop on launch and straight to the bargin bin at costco
>>737444876I doubt there will be anything but joining friends, since the gameplay seems more freeform. It’s not as direct as choose to play and get plunked into the exact spot with the exact objective the game dictates
>>737420032>splatoon but its solo salmon run and thats it (you must also tolerate the worst idols in the series the entire time)couldn't pay me 50 buck to play that shit
>>737445070i just don't see the problem, the limit of trolling would basically be going AFK
>>737445328It’s not trolling, it’s about being grouped with people who want to do the same thing. Even within a “level”, which I don’t think is really the structure, there’s a bunch of different points of interest. Without communication, people will get annoyed with randoms not doing what they have in mind
>>737445026It has multiplayer.
>>737445076>solo salmon runlaugh at this dunce without any video game knowledge!
>>737445756i'd rather have the option than noteven if it's just for dungeonsif people aren't on the same vibe then you cope or d/c
Oh man the bullet dodged >extraction shooter mode.>get in, fend off the salmon get the spiralite and get out>oh also there is a rival team with the same objective. >resources gathered contributes to a splatfest. Jeeze its one of those things that sounds kinda cool on paper but i really dont enjoy extraction shooters in practice.
>>737443271>she doesnt remember that Marie is Deep Cut's boss, as established in Return of the Mammalians
>>737421251>those salmons are more dangerous than oursArent red salmons breeding season salmon or whatever?
I wonder how scaling will work in terms of teammate equipment. I’ll definitely get much further faster than my friends, so will I just be OP with my leveled up weapons? It’d be nice if the game had multiple save slots so I could use one exclusively for co-op, but I doubt it will
i wish salmon were real
>>737446979Yeah but I wouldn't expect 1 to 1 analogies. They are styled after breeding salmon. But probably will just be a different breed in game instead of being the same salmon species.
>>737423641>Could have fought cool cyborg salmonids in their hyper advanced neo cities But no past niggers shat it up, fuck this shit
>>737447582they're probably canonically the same species but Deep Cut will present them as a different species because canonically all three of them are dumb as a bag of rocks
>>737424076I've only played 3Apparently all the alterna lore stuff wasn't even in the first two games. Seemed like stuff that would be established at the start. So I wonder what Im missing from not having played the first two games.I think i pretty much got the gist of the plot of the first two games from their dialouge, octolings and squids were enemies, octavio stole the zapfish, they got it back then he stole it again, they got it back again, now hes good and octolings are friend with everyone. Something like that.
>>737445076squid sisters peaked on their debutoff the hook is overrated trash with one good songdeep cut's catalog mogs both groups combined
>>737445076I never understood this comic. They said splatoon instead of platoon? That's the joke?
>>737449479...wait, they sing? I thought they were all porn stars that occasionally did daytime tv talk shows.
>>737449479Off the Hook’s dlc tracks are all great though
>>737449479my flat wife's idol group's songs have no oomph to them
>>737449479Shiver's amazing and all, but there's no topping Marie.
>>737452248offmodel oppai garbage
>>737449479frye's voice alone makes deep cut one of the best idol groupsthe songs are also all bangers whilst the other two have some okay-ish songs on top of the good onesi don't think deep has ever had a song that isn't amazing (the oth collab doesn't count)
They're still charging $85 for this in Canada, I can't see getting this unless it is a 10/10 with 100 hours of content.
>>737452523so? 85 canadian dollars is like 60 us dollars
>Squid sisters have the highest peaks>Off the hook are the most mediocre, with some really bad one and good one>Deep cut are the most consistent with constant bangersThat's how I see it, I love both Deep cut and Squid sisters a lot, don't care for OtH
>>737452457Schrödinger's Wrap: until you open the wrap, the tits are simultaneously large and small.
>>737452637she's FLAT
How much will the new amiibo cost?
>>737452749$25 each, dunno how much the 3-pack would be
>>737452637she's BIG
they're kinda hiding how busty frye is in raiders compared to splat 3, you can see how busty she is with the shawl in certain angles though
>>737452681she's SEXO
>>737452953she's sexo and FLAT
smug frye
>>737422330>close enough to kissIT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME
>>737453425man she really got a glow-up, and all it took was a small change to her hairdo
>>737432449>I got to level 4 in Splatoon 3 and never played it again after getting my ass beat so bad in multiplayer lmao.I understand your pain bro. It hurts even more since I was pretty damn good at Splatoon 1 and played a shit ton. Going into 3 I felt like that episode of KotH where Hank got destroyed by those paintballers.
>>737452791Thanks. Sometimes I feel I spend more on amiibos rather than games
>>737452681>>737452953why'd they give her the crazy eyes for this cutscene, she looks ready to pounce on that poor woomy and blitz her clam
>>737452953she's sexo and FAT
>>737453919>answering your own question
>>737449646There's two ways to interpret it. Platoon is a dusty word to most now that's only ever going to be heard once or twice in history class. So he either can't remember/doesn't know what it means and can only think of Splatoon or had platoon ruined for him by Splatoon and can't take it seriously anymore.
>>737443082based
sorry, it's frye's woomy plaything.
>>737452791I just hope that the 3 pack will be in stock for a reasonable amount of time. The single packs sold out pretty damn fast and these are the first Amiibo in years I've wanted to buy.
>>737449646the joke is that a game with a cartoonish super soakers aesthetic has extremely dark lore
>>737454125There is a crazy amount of people collecting amiibos, so preorder or going to store on release day is your best bet
>>737452248onmodel oppai kino
Is splatoon dead? Why is there no new fanart?
>>737425582Easy way to secure 1 million sales.
>>737456468There's been plenty of the new protagonist and it's only been a day.
So are the salmon extra horny in this one
>>737457496Unlike their normal forms they are red and contorted.It's their season and you're upstream.
>>737457753Poor little white veemo.
>>737422585Hopefully some of the new guys make it into Salmon Run 3.
Reminder that BigJohn and his clique killed the /v/ pool.
>>737459472I don't know what either of those things are.
>>737459472
Nintendo are really going for it with marketing this time
>>737459857>every salmonid in the game is a coke fiendlmao. Hope this leads to some funny fanart
>>737452457Actually, I checked the model sheet. Says here it's on model.
>>737459617Avatarfags that derailed Splatoon 3 with offtopic spam
>>737460495Its way off model she has frye's ears.
>>737421251what a handsome lad.
>>737452248>boobs>inkling ears>pointy noselmao get outta here.
>>737460583Oh that sucks. I hate people who do that.
>>737425334There were also code names for like another four or five unfinished Salmonid types. One of which became Fug, but the rest went seemingly unused.
Sex with Mechanic (male)
What's even the gameplay? I'm not watching the video and I'm not reading the thread.
>>737462716side order x salmon run
>>737432449I really liked SO but it's a roguelike that ends once you get all the rewards. Not much replayability.
Non-stop island sex with Shiver.
>>737462716Splatoon DiabloBorderlandslike mixed with salmon run and side order
>>737462949Yes but structurally very different than either. Seems like you go from your base into an open world/zone sort of scenario to acquire materials from points of interest and dungeons. Before returning to a base to upgrade it and your weapons and expand the area you can explore. Not really sure if there’s a perfect analog for that gameplay loop. There’s a decent amount of unknowns, but it really seems like an exclusively pve campaign based extraction shooter
>>737461046That's how it is on the model sheet.
>>737423641>>737423721hasn't this been disconfirmed because the new salmonids are described as "evolved into"
>>737464273It’s deconfirmed because there’s trash on the ground with cereal crab mascot
>>737464162yeah but we don't know if it's arena-mission-based or open-level, just that there is at least some kind of semi-open overworld to walk init could be like Alterna with triggered Side Order waves in specific areaswe really don't know anything about the structure for sure except that dungeons exist and the open levels exist in some way
>>737439447Fuck you and fuck everything about you.
>>737445076>worst idolsIve never seen someone so gay.
Splat-toon or Spluh-toon
Why are they brown. Thats gross
>>737464617Quit virtue-signalling
>>737464652technically it's vice signalling
I'm here to shatter all illusions you had from fanart and even official art.
>>737464759my beautiful flat wife
>>737464759she has a fat ass in official art so it still counts
>>737464357True, but the scenes they cut next to each other are definitely suggestive of the structure, and we see it go from a map menu selection of a treasure symbol with “Tumetto Rocks” and no specific mission text to being at a location and scanning for treasure with some Salmon already on the map. So it’s absolutely safe to say the island are not overworld like Alterna, with enemies, new weapons and spirhalite crystals, which get their own icon on the map. Still uncertain, but I think “pve only extraction shooter campaign” is going to be a pretty accurate high level description
>>737464842anon that's because of perspective and the fact that she's posing.you can make your ass look bigger by simply standing differently, and inklings/octolings have no bones.
You bullied Fryechads for years and the moment she changes her hair you pretend that actually you always loved Frye
>>737464947i've literally always jerked off to frye, including her ingame model.
>>737464947Well yeah, her biggest issue was always her huge ass 6head, so the moment she has a hairstyle that hides it a bit, she improves significantly.
>>737464884i want that to be true but i don't want to get excited by drawing false conclusionsi don't fully trust that they'll go much further than sort of naively smashing side order and salmon run together and i got kinda burned by side order being so content-sparsewe'll see how it goes as they reveal more i guess
>>737452637Source? Searches give nothing.
>>737464884>extraction shooterwhere are you getting that from
>>737465131If it has that structure, it’s still hard to say how much content it’ll have. It really depends on how many dungeons and how big the archipelago is. 5-6 bosses seems likely based on the 5 “relic powers”. Unless someone can actually sync up the map we saw in this trailer with the archipelago we saw in the announcement cutscene, there’s no real way to extrapolate the scope. I think you’re right to not start counting chickens about content for sure, but I think the gameplay loop and structure can be safely surmised. Side Order was content light, but they definitely did make a unique structure for it
>>737420032Shes so ugly, instant game skip
>>737464336You better put some fuckin' RESPECT on Monkey Crab's name>>737464538Spluh-toon. It's supposed to be a pun on "platoon."
So in this game our Woomy/Octoskoom is basically the Splatoon version of pic related?
>>737464842She's a big girl.
>>737465631>platoon
>>737465626womp womp
>>737465667Yeah, pretty much. There's even a sentry it looks like we can throw down in the last trailer. I hope you remember how to play Battle Engineer.
Do you think Shiver's gonna have a Fishing Minigame for us?
>>737465497If you watch from 1:35 to 2:05 in the trailer, it seems to show the general structure of the game. Look for treasure using the map and your mech’s scan, acquire it, go back to base and upgrade it and your weapons. The spirhalite has its own map icon, like the chests that show locations on your map, but your mech scan discovers them, as we see by the bigger green sky beams. This suggests none of this is specific instanced missions, but points of interest on a map
A simple different haircut maybe can save Frye, but NOTHING short of a complete redraw can save this...THING.
>>737465914And no, it doesn't look better in 3d, in fact it looks worse.
>>737465914frye has a cute face. her forehead works in the context of her baby face, and the new hair makes it look better.this one however i think the eyebrows hold it a lot back, i'm not against the hairalso the clothes look weird, splatoon also has weird clothes but it all somehow makes sense with the context of the character, this just looks overdesigned for the sake of it.
>>737466029I would say it is pandering for certain "group" but they made it more blatant because their previous pandering to them, Penny, completely missed their radar.
>>737466117I mean sure, but WHY?
>>737466384Like the west: they thought they were a MASSIVE group that buys games, when they realized they are just a very vocal minority that only wants to bitch they already loads of projects in the oven for years and they couldn't cancel them...like in the west.

what happened to the /cm/ splatoon players
>>737464947I was won over to enjoying Fyre, but not loving her, still don't, upon knowing she is a Splatana Stacy.I respect my sword Brethren.
>>737465631this absolutely SHOULD be the next Splatoon spin-off.Just a massive mega collection of all the games made by Ancho-V games.Gives new deevs a great chance to flex skills by needing NES through Switch graphic style games. Hit every genre basically, and just try out all kinds of odd ideas to see if any make a solid base for a full release.It will never happen though. It makes me mad
The fact we see dynamo roller and mini splatling has me optimistic that there will be a good amount of weapons, though I guess those could just be the class reps for this game. Hopefully we get these weapon skins in the next game if we own Raiders like we did with SO
The fanbase for this series is really stupid
>>737469546I'm sure every weapon will be in the game.No reason for them to not be, probably a few new ones just to test them in a '''safer''' less '''hazardous''' climate. As if a weapon is horridly over tuned it hardly matters with it only being PvE, and if a bit on the weak side you still have specials to save your ass, gadgets, relic powers, robot back-up, etc to help fend off salmon.That minisplat looks fucking great though.
>>737468415no
>>737470829squaggot squoward squitch
It's genuinely fucking nuts that Splatoon became such a huger juggernaut for Nintendo the likes of which they'd been hoping for since the Wii hype died off, and we're only just now getting a spin-off. It's been over 10 fucking years, these fuckers are masters of striking while the iron is colder than a witch's tit. That being said, I love the look of Raiders and I'm hoping sentry-focused builds will be viable. GOTTA MOVE THAT GEAR UP>>737421251I love all these fat bastards and I love how much people have taken a liking to them. I want a Raiders direct now.>Basically he's your average famitsu posterExplain.
>>737470947lmao
>no online matchmaking>no bigrun>no eggstra work>no badges>no splash tag>all amiibo unlocks are just 30 different colored jumpsuits>easy mode salmon run>12 hour long game>80 dollars
>>737470324it’s hard to say without knowing what the weapon levels actually do. Could make for a significant lift to implement for all weapons depending on the mechanic there. And a new model for every weapon is a decent amount of design work>>737471719This going to be your new bump bait or something?
>>737471676>Your spoilerIt's bait anon.Ignore him.Please.Anyone randomly seething about famitsu is one of 3 seething ass faggot snoys who have been shitting up /v/ for 8-17 years.They want to kill engagement in these threads by bringing up irrelevant shit.If someone brings up>muh famitsu>nintendeen/niggerdeen>muh costcoIGNORE THEM.PLEASE.It's just bait. To drive the thread completely off topic.These threads will get ALOT of schizo posting currently, and for the next 6-8 months. You squaggots NEED to not bite so they go back to their tried and true zelda, mario, dk, xenoblae, Metroid or FE threads. Not that I'm happy these IPs are barely discussable now, but I really do not want Splatoon to be completely nuked as well. We only have Splatoon and Pikmin left as being sane.Stop engaing with the niggers.>>737471697squck you too. squaggot.
>>737471860>knows it's bait>replies anywaysdon't do that.Just don't.As for weapon levels Splatoon doesn;t have deep or complex combo chains or shit. And we saw nothing of the like in the trailer. It's likely just increasing range/ink coverage upon landing, damage, fire speed, ink efficiency, charge speed if applicable, etc.
Harmony washing up on the shore face down and joining the crew
>>737471676Nintendo only has so many dev teams and has a ton of popular IP. The fact they don’t just balloon their staff to try to pump shit out chasing after their successes and trends and instead take a slower, consistent pace and make sure their staff gels with their design philosophies is why they’re successful and haven’t had to lay off a bunch of teams making failed gaas slop in IP skinsuits. But hopefully their recent staffing leads to increased output
>>737471945you don't even play this game
>>737471945>squck you too. squaggot
>>737468668>UFO 50 but sploonI'd try it.
This fucker chimping out about other people's replies is far more annoying than whatever shitposters he's complaining about.>>737472129I respect that to a certain extent, and it is indeed the reason why I keep coming back. But we used to get spin-offs all the damn time and it didn't hurt their main productions as far as I know. Only Mario gets to keep consistently churning em out.
>>737472006We saw that gadgets have more in depth upgrades. And even just those simple stat increases, which I think is far more likely than in depth upgrades, could be enough for them to think it homogenizes the weapons too much, so they don’t include them all. I definitely think it’s too early to be confident in every weapon, though I think there is cause to be optimistic about many appearing
>>737423641we could have>Precursor Salmon>Modern Salmon>Descendant SalmonMy body is ready for the Vault of Splash
>sealiontranny, aka acfag>the nigger who has NEVER posted proof of ever touching video games in all these 17 years of impotently seething>is really going to get into a fight with the guy with 2k files for splatoon, that measures at 5.75GBThank you.For proving my prior warning accurate.Now to EVERYONE ELSE!SHUT THE FUCK UP!Do NOT feed the niggers. Or they WILL NOT leave.>>737472129The new hires will be highly interesting, given Bananza was by new hires by and large. I assume we don't know Raiders yet, yes?The rumored starfox game is supposedly new hires too right?Shits looking up.
>>737472302Which types of spinoffs are you referring to? Not that I disagree, I just don’t remember specifically. And I think a lot of them became DLCs and download only titles
>>737472316Sure but gadgets are a replacement to Subs.Gadgets get used by R, and we saw no splat bombs, burst, curling, no ink mines, etc. So it's a bit different there.>>737472269Has tons of potential.
>>737472413fang calm down don't bring that shit here
>>737472302>But we used to get spin-offs all the damn time and it didn't hurt their main productions as far as I know.Which IPs anon?Pikmin only got Hey Pikmin which everyone hated.Fire Emblem took to the switch to get FE Warriors and really only because Hyrule Warriors was gigehuge (for musous). Kirby gets a ton, yuh, but Kirby is 100% Hal Labs so not really the same.DK...sorta did. Under Rare there was Diddy Kong racing. But after the microsoft buy out mainline faded for Jungle Beat and King of Swing.Zelda only got what? Crossbow training? Unless you count Four Stars Adventure as a spin-off I guess, but that was still not till the GC. Starfox has yet to really have a spin-off minus Guard (not that anyone recalls it despite being a solid toer defense game).Spin-offs for smaller titles have been somewhat rare till Wii/DS era, if not WiiU/3DS.
>>737472504We’ve never had deep customization of subs either, so it doesn’t really change anything. We’re just getting into the weeds now when the general point was not to assume we’ll get every weapon. There’s a ton of more substantiated info to glean from the trailer
>>737472560I was making a point given the nigger exposed himself, as squids might not be aware.I'm the one tellin you guys to ignore them. I have no intention on engaging the shitbag further.
>>737472413Yeah, seems like the general plan for these new hires is to split their established teams in two and have them do spinoffs or the other franchise that the team is responsible for. Seems like a great strategy. Curious about Star Fox. I see it as more likely outsourced dev with leads from Nintendo
>>737472439Happened quite a bit during the GameCube/GBA and DS/Wii days. Mario alone birthed new ones with Strikers and Sluggers, kept other sports going. AlphaDream created the Mario & Luigi games. Combined with DK for Mario vs. Donkey Kong. DK also had some like Jungle Beat, Jungle Climber, King of Swing.. We used to get absolute shitloads of Pokemon things like Ranger, Dash, Trozei, Ranch, and about 20 others I can't remember. Before mobile gaming. Wario and Yoshi IMMEDIATELY got spin-off games/successors after being introduced.And this isn't even counting all the neat little games Nintendo would make on the down low like Dillon's Rolling Western, Ouendan/EBA, Odama, EverOasis, the list goes on. BoxBoy is blessed enough to have HAL keep it going. Basically what I"m saying is that there used to be a lot of neat, weird shit in between all the big releases. Just how common was it for Switch? I feel like it's been replaced by third parties and ports of older games from other systems.>>737472560Why are you even responding in the first place.
>>737472652>Pikmin only got Hey Pikmin which everyone hatedI liked it>Zelda only got what? Crossbow training? Unless you count Four Stars Adventure as a spin-off I guess, but that was still not till the GC.it's not >>737472718ok
>>737472952>Combined with DK for Mario vs. Donkey Kong.You mean Mario subsumed back into DK, given both started in the Arcade game you poser.Pokemon is a TPC issue, and we still got Pokken, Snap2, Pokopia, etc. Sorta silly.Personally I would like an Ever Oasis2. But that's the cost of chasing higher graphicsm dev times grow longer, new projects are harder to kick off, etc etc.>>737472840Starfox from what I recall was rumored to be NLG, which could be cool. Monolith could also do something neat there.Otherwise hard to say 3rd part wise, not sure if the Ace Combat bamco team would want to juggle AC8 + a starfox title.
>>737473107I can’t imagine NLG is doing anything but Luigi’s Mansion right now. Bandai, maybe Singapore, seems likely
>>737421251Luv me fat fuck
>>737420032>The only game Im interested in on the Switch 2I like Splatoon, but not $550 worth
>>737472952Also choosing to ignore ARMS for some reason which is pretty sizable for a Fighting IP.Switch Sports Resort...or whatever carries on Wii Sports. Ring Rit.Labo and game builder garage to excite kids about STEM/design/creation/coding.Mario+ Rabbids killed Code Name Steam and we didn't even get Zelda/Kirby/Splatoon+Rabbids out of it. But still good shit.Astral Chain.Bayonetta Origins is a very solid Metrovania.Drag X Drive...exists. Not great but it's an attempt at something new.Kirby got Kirby the Fighters, Battle Royale (and it made sleep useful...NEVER EVER THOUGH in mainline. FL fumbled that via the upgrades), Dream Buffet, Super Kirby Clash, etc.Plus more.There's still tons of variety put out, pretending otherwise is silly even if you aren't into a lot of it.
>>737473412Make that 500. MKW bundle is not worth.
>>737473368Thought this was K. Rool from the thumbnail.
>>737473412the splatoon 3 sw2 upgrade is pretty great60fps salmon run at 1440p
>>737473491MKW is great, the fuck are you on?>>737473412Bananza is incredibly solid.Air Riders is a great successor to the GC OGHW AoI is well improved from AoC.Can't remark on Pokopia.But Tennis Fever is the first one I took interest in since Power on the GC and is quite good.If you are hesitant on others.>>737473368Surprised how much people like the garbage hair. Figured it'd be the duck hair or the net cubed one.People adoring Salty Tongue is not shocking though, he's basically the perfect Salmonoid.
no salmon room tonight
That bottle style, tho
>>737474226it's so fucking stupid and stylish i love it
>>737474223You son of a bitch. I wasn't planning on it myself anyways, last night was good for me. Though if enough people gather, maybe I'd be down for just one king fight.>>737474240Mad respect for going all in and the washed up junk aesthetic. They didn't pussy out on that front.
>>737474226those bottles should be the health bar.
>>737474226>>737474240>>737474325Splatoon has a grand aesthetic, too many devs pussy out and only go half way. Glad Nagomi is a true autist and shows no restraint.Assuming you'd join (you never do squaggot) I could make a room for salmon run. Just got done with my shit on dos so don't mind pausing on it atm.....especially as I need plesi next and....ew. faggot fish
>>737474435i will never play splatoon with /v/ chuds

>>737474932Yet to be surpassed.
Stop saying "Shiver sexoooo" it's super rude.
>>737474978cum on the forehead
>>737475235no
>>737475235sexo Shiver.Better?
>>737475235Alright. Shiver coitus!
>>737475235Her fault for being so damn sex.>>737475297Rude, it should go inside her.
>>737475235Shiver sexoOoOoO
>>737475371mind giving me reasons to not cum on her forehead
I find Frye sexy and Shiver repulsive.
>>737475606Well..can;t get Squid pollips that way anon.You silly albatrross.
>team dies so much that I deliberately jump into the oceanSometimes you get people that baffle you because of how bad they are. How did you even get those gold badges, you cretins. Whatever, got my one win.>BotW yet againYou sick fuck.
>>737420032Shiver's thighighs
>>737475881What a whore.
>>737475837>BotW yet againproblem bitch? seriously though I was just going to check to see how many side quest I have left to complete but I'm now just running around killing shit and making meals once I start playing I get really into it
>>737476009>Akkala...homeMore like>Akkala,....*ZAP*Endless fuckin lightning there swear to God.Great region though.
>>737476009Just kind of amazing to me that you've put that much time into it, but then again so has the rest of the world so I'm not surprised. Really should get back to it, it's just another game on the pile of Zeldas I gotta beat.
Frye is an utsuwhore
>>737476160>he doesn't keep wooden weapons in case of thunderstormsngmi>>737476183>Just kind of amazing to me that you've put that much time into itmy play time says 650 hours but it's actually close to 1,000 because I've played botw on my wii u and on secondary accounts it's genuinely my favorite game and it's also my comfy game where I can just play and relax
Wonder if we'll ever get to use the little tank bot.>>737476341Goddamn, that's crazy. Well more power to you. Still more reasonable than this guy on my friends list who somehow has over 5k hours in Endless Ocean.
>>737475235Nah. Shiver sexo.
the game just doesn't look colorful enough.
>>737476341Why the fuck are you using a rusty spear mate?But I do keep wooden ones, but Akkala being as prone to lightning if not more than Faron is just an interesting thing.>>737476536>5k in Endless Oceaneveryone needs a hobby.>he says while have 2.8k in both MH3U and 4U...better times.
>>737476536I actually might actually do another master mode playthrough now that the game has two save files since my original master mode file is 100% complete and I didn't want to overwrite it>Still more reasonable than this guy on my friends list who somehow has over 5k hours in Endless Ocean.lmao wtf that's funny but I completely understand>>737476697>Why the fuck are you using a rusty spear mate?I use weak weapons to kill weak enemies like keese, chuchu, and stals but I kept getting rushed by yiggers so I just gave up threw the rusty halberd and took out one of my stronger weapons>Akkala being as prone to lightning if not more than Faron is just an interesting thingone of the many reasons why I love eternal autumn
Not a huge fan of this hairstyle, but it's compelling artists to draw more cute octolings and that's always a plus. Maybe it'll grow on me.>>737476697>everyone needs a hobby.Yeah, but like, Endless Ocean? Really? I have my theories as to why but regardless, feels nuts.>he says while have 2.8k in both MH3U and 4UDamn, and I thought 800 in 3U was a lot. Really need to start Rise already is what I want to say but somehow I lost it.
>>737476858>hey let me put trash in your hairFrye has no styleFrye has no grace
>>737476907But she does have a fuckable face.
>>737476849>all those hits>virtually no damageLINK THE TANK>masster modemega cringe. I just refuse due to the regen. It's so horseshit, plus makes the sword challenges basically impossible. Everything else is cool about it though.>>737476858How did you lose your game cart? How bloody disorganized are you?
>>737477020I didn't take damage because that's how they designed it so the game won't do bullshit deaths If it did I wouldn't've survived that and it's happened to me multiple times and I'm fine with it because it means that enemies can attack you all at once and not one enemy attack while others wait for their turn in the back>I just refuse due to the regen. It's so horseshityou're right about this it's makes master mode horribly unbalanced especially when you start because you don't have strong weapons or enough weapons to kill one enemy>plus makes the sword challenges basically impossibleI've done it so it's not impossible but the only time it's almost impossible is I think the third or fourth water room where there are two white lizalfos
>>737476849Good luck with all that.>lmao wtf that's funny but I completely understandI had to double check just to make sure I wasn't going crazy. Dude is almost at 6k hours now.>>737477020>How bloody disorganized are you?Not very, considering i have shitloads of games and can easily locate almost all of them without issue. But somehow this one has disappeared and I'm not sure where it could've gone. But it'll turn up.
>>737477351>Dude is almost at 6k hours nowbless him
>>737477421Everyone's got a favorite thing they put an unreasonable amount of time into, that's just being human. This, however, borders on making me worried for a completely random human being. Not that I can do anything, but still.
>>737477750nah that person will be fineoh you know how I said pragmata reminded me of dead space well I found this gem earlier today
>>737477750I've got more than 5 thousand hours in Bloodborne. Just one of my favorites to keep on playing.
>>737471676I think the spoiler is a stupid joke because it's funny to make fun of console wars faggots lol, especially with how they acted in the last threads but yeah love the fat fuck, he reminds me of the fat one from Side Order that played woth the 8 balls, I wonder if the side orders ennemies are canonically based on some of these salmon, since the fountain one is also a salmon
>>737477878I sure hope so. I'm actually lurking in those threads because I'm loving all the adorable and amusing art in them. Not reading anything because spoilers, but there's so much to enjoy.>>737477890Yeah but I can see a person putting that much time into it. I assume this game is just, like, roaming a virtual ocean and crap. Just how much content can there be?
They should do a check on everyone when they boot up raiders to see if they obtained the gold grizzco badge in S3 first before being allowed to play
>>737478113>I'm actually lurking in those threads because I'm loving all the adorable and amusing art in themI sometimes lurk as well and was quite amused when I saw the webm with the two of them dancing the robot>>737478201I better get a reward for all of my gold salmon badges in raiders
>>737478113Probably just really loves underwater exploration.
>>737478085The big dumb goofball is great, he also reminds of of Dodogoma from MH World. Just a big, lovable doofus. Someone saw all the stupid edits people were making and drew this, it's great. Didn't realize that the sprinkler guys were given a salmonid variation until people were pointing it out. That is going to be annoying as fuck. They also got other nice new variations of fish so it's not going to be entirely reskins, either. That fucker with the tongs is intriguing.>>737478201They probably wanna sell more than 10 copies, anon.>>737478298Saw that one like 10 minutes ago, it's beautiful.
>>737478317If this person didn't have almost 400 hours in Miku games, I'd assume it's like a grizzled old vet or couch dad indulging in something that soothes his soul.
i'm not religious but i'd let her circumcise me
>>737478348is that salmonid supposed to be like a dog or something?
>>737478569He's certainly got that look to him, but he's even bigger than a cohock. Might just be a big, dumb bastard since all the salmonids have thus far been fully sentient.
>>737478787So far my favorite one is the bat like salmonid
It's funny how the dev team kind of realized how difficult they made things when they made Octolings playable, because it means that they'd have to come up with increasingly contrived reasons to keep the Octarians around as enemies. In the Deepsea Metro they're undead, in Alterna they're brainwashed and mutated by Mr. Grizz. The Salmonids are the perfect eternal villain, their entire culture entails a holy war against all other lifeforms on Earth.
>>737479008Isn't their entire culture about how much they want to get eaten by others
>>737479037Or eat others. Eat or be eaten, it doesn't matter. The circle of life itself is what's sacred to them.But if they had a choice, they'd still choose to eat.
>>737478847Skesis looking motherfucker. Either that, or the giant claw. But he's not nearly as big as a battleship...>>737479008>because it means that they'd have to come up with increasingly contrived reasons to keep the Octarians around as enemiesThey should have been coming up with new things as soon as 2 began development, but better late than never. I love them as an enemy faction, just waiting for them to acquire more dakka.
>>737479112looks rad as fuck
>>737479181There's also this fucking thing at the end of the trailer. Presumably a big boss salmonid guarding specific treasures or perhaps what they'll need to fix up a way home. All the salmonids looks absolutely rancid and it's a treat.
>>737479398it's definitely a boss
>>737474226cute space buns :)
>>737479008They're just kind of lazy and reuse the Octarians in different settings where they're following different leaders while DJ Octavio is imprisoned. Seems like though a lot of Octolings have escaped the militaristic conditioning a lot of them still remain underground and may or may not still follow DJ Octavio.
>>737479665kek
>>737479746It's kinda like Kirby always fighting Waddle Dees even when King Dedede is upstaged by a twist villain, gets brainwashed from the beginning or he's an ally and his minions get brainwashed.
I actually like the octarians and hope they continue to be the baddies
>amiibo are still sold outI'm gonna have to be watching multiple websites like a hawk once more. It's like the Side Order shit all over again.>>737479603You don't say.>>737479665Funny in concept, but knowing western splatoon twitterfags? They'd probably do it all over again, the disgusting bastards.
>>737479746Well yeah, that's the whole basis of Side Order. Order is a consciousness born from the hesitation, regret, and resentment the Octoling engineers that worked with Marina had about everything that happened, because while Marina thought Inkopolis and Inkling culture was fantastic and everyone should appreciate it, she couldn't even believe that there might be Octolings who liked their old, regimented, structured culture under Octavio more.
>>737479915Here in Yurop the game and amiibo aren't even on Amazon yet but they're readily available on My Nintendo Store. 60€ for the three-pack. How much is it in the US?
>>737479991they got the tariffs so it's $25 for each
Hey, if any of you perverts want the Off the Hook 2-pack, it's at regular price on Nintendo's website.>Shiver Raiders amiibo on Amazon pre-orderFUCK, GO GO GO GET IT NOW>>737479991US doesn't even have the fucking 3-pack for whatever reason. It's just all 3 separate for $25 each. We didn't get the regular Deep Cut pack, either.
>>737480086Pardon me I think you meant the Frye amiibo.
>>737480086have they said what you'll get for the amiibo?
>>737480402Nah. Given the type of game it is, I'd assume you get exclusive upgrades or craftable shit, along with cosmetics. It'd be cool if they gave you new gear in 3, too. But mostly importantly, Shiver.
>>737480584They'll probably also unlock Deep Cut's gear for Splatoon 3, plus Deep Cut in their Raiders outfits for photoshoots.
>>737478491>Frye will never be insistent on giving you the nicest haircut of your life>You will never feel her chest pressing against you as she gets too into itLife sucks
Frye game. Frye life.
>>737420032Why have the graphics not improved one iota? and why is this the best approach because it means I'm getting a new game now instead of as the Switch 2's swansong.
>>737480584>I'd assume you get exclusive upgrades I hope not because while I have a few amiibos to me it feels like I have too many and have no interest in buying any more though I'm really tempted to get a Dr. Mario amiibo
>>737465868That looked more like a cutscene to me personally
>>737480584I think it's just gonna be cosmetic costumes
>>737465894I will now buy into your theory
>>737480697>you will never be held effortlessly by Fryewhy do we live in such a gay world seriously
>>737480678I wouldn't be surprised at that.>>737480834Don't consider myself a collector by any means, but I would have significantly less amiibo if I wasn't so obsessed with Splatoon. And I do kind of want them all, though right now only Shiver's a must-have.>though I'm really tempted to get a Dr. Mario amiiboYou would.>>737480989I certainly wouldn't put it past them to make new kinds of exclusive things for this spin-off. Splatoon's been hiding things behind amiibo since the very beginning.
Beating Raiders should unlock sanitized octolings in 3.
>>737480807You're really not going to get "improved graphics" much out of the Switch 2 when the same games on the Switch 1 were making concessions just to run on that hardware. Some parts of BOTW lag like hell and background elements in Splatoon 3 were super choppy. With Splatoon Raiders and eventually Splatoon 4, you're going to see less slow down and more stuff happening on screen with higher fps than "improved graphics". Nintendo seems pretty content with the art direction of their games for a long time and just want them to run at higher frame rates before really pushing things further.
>>737481164This is the best way to make sure games aren't overbudgeted to hell and also take a reasonable time to come out.It's also why Nintendo is releasing games monthly.
>>737481082>You wouldthe only thing stopping me from getting it is that I don't like having a lot of figurines and merch taking up space I gifted about 10 amiibos to family members throughout the years
>>737481287Yeah no, I totally get that. I won't pretend I don't have a good amount of vidya-related crap I've bought over the years, but it could easily be like five times that amount and it always leads back to me asking myself, "do you really need this?" Like, I don't need a whole ass room for the stuff I have. And most of it easily fits into, like, two boxes. But I also can't deny that I also love having my little veemo here next to me as I type. It's less about having stuff, and more about getting stuff that I will actually use or put a smile on my face.I got my brother the Terry and Kazuya amiibo last christmas, he was over the moon about it.
>>737481491I have a box where I keep all of my vidya books, game magazines (I have some old smash brawl game informer magazines)>I got my brother the Terry and Kazuya amiibo last christmas, he was over the moon about it.that's nice except for the kazuya part fuck kazuya because he got in smash bros. instead of nightmare
>>737481082>I certainly wouldn't put it past them to make new kinds of exclusive things for this spin-off. Splatoon's been hiding things behind amiibo since the very beginning.it's just been gear that has no gameplay from any other 2 star gear since the second game so I don't expect them to start locking anything that actually affects the game behind them, they'll probably just give you shiver and frye's outfits, and some original outfit for big man, the trailer already hints towards it just being cosmetic with the amiibo icon attached to style
>>737476572They dont want the paint colors clashing with the environment.
>>737480997>why do we live in such a gay world seriouslyTo yearn over Frey and play Splatim
>>737420032I'm looking forward to this. Surprised it's coming out so soon, the fact that they couldn't even commit to 2026 before now made me think it was going to slip to next year. Single player splatoon content hasn't been very good up to this point but this is their big opportunity to turn it around.
>>737422330because it's a really good idea to make your characters really sexy. Splatoon isn't weird, it's every other game that's weird for passing up so much positive attention by having boring uggos star in their games
Check it out, JP twitter updated with info on the gadgets. This is called the zubat slasher in japanese for some reason.>>737481890I don't expect anything truly exclusive, but the amiibo will likely give you an edge up in getting certain endgame gear. That's what they mostly do in games like these.>>737481759>kazuya part fuck kazuya because he got in smash bros. instead of nightmareYou have my condolences. I didn't really have any most wanted for the DLC since K. Rool was already part of the base roster and I'd written him off years back. But there's always next game. Personally, I'd just love to be able to main octoling. Been up too damn long, but I just can't resist splatoon talk. Going to bed now, gnight.
>>737482181later
>>737482181>This is called the zubat slasher in japanese for some reason.I think it's just grok being retardedlooks like a grizzco splatana as a sidearm though so that's pretty cool
>>737481349Beautiful.
>>737420032Is splat 2/3 worth playing for the single player only? Doubt any of my friends would be interested in the multiplayer, but idk if it's worth it just for soloI have 2 but not the dlc, enjoyed it back when nso was free, just don't know if it's worth buying the dlc/3 or just going straight into this when it launches?
>>737482476I would say no, but if you're flush with cash and just wanna try it out then 3 at least has something resembling single player that you can wet your feet with
>>737482254ズバットスラッシャーChecked for you, it really is Zubat Slasher.
>>737482476Base campaign of 2 is alright but almost identical to 1's campaign. The DLC of 2 is great and if you get the NSO Expansion Pass for any other reason, it is included with it. The base campaign of 3 is a mix of previous base campaigns and the DLC of 2 while the DLC of 3 is a roguelite. I really enjoy them but I wouldn't say any is worth full price if you're not planning to play multiplayer at all.
>>737482624The Octo Expansion would totally be worth its asking price if only it was a standalone game. But buying Splat2 only for the Octo Expansion feels kind of expensive. Especially when Splat3 is the superior multiplayer experience.
>>737482569wow so it is literally the same as the pokemon, that's pretty odd
>>737482569>>737482761That's fine, Off the Hook are called Tentacool in most EU languages.
It might be a bit odd I suppose. But then I remember that Pokemon canonically exists in Splatoon as a relic of the human times.
>>737482547>>737482624That's fair, had a feeling that might be the case, I'll probably just play 2's campaign and wait for this to launch then, cheers
honestly i am surprised and disappointed, i never expected nintendo to release a single player spinoff, maybe it's just me but i never touched the story, playing splatoon in single is extremely boring, at least for me, all i wanted was a new main game that would run natively on switch 2 and instead i got this
>>737483132>all i wanted was a new main gameI mean. If it's any consolation they are 100% without a doubt working on Splatoon 4.
>>737420032>for only $50?There's a part of me that believes this was gonna be S3 DLC.
I bought the switch 2 on day 1 just for splatoon 4. Instead of 4 we get raiders, so I really hope it's good
>>737482731Sometimes I forget that I own Splat2 and yet have never gotten around to the Octo Expansion. I really need to now that Splatoon fever is coursing through my veins once again.
>>737483586Do it, not only because it's a great game but also because it makes you want to fuck octolings and Marina.
just pirate octo expansion?
>>737483586Octo Expansion is really fun.
>>737483660Oh yeah, maybe I should just do this. I bought the game already so I don't think there's any ethical issue. Does Splat 2 emulate well?
>>737483534Lol no
>>737483534I can see it starting out as an expansion for a Splatoon 3 Switch 2 Edition but I doubt it was ever in the cards as regular DLC to also be available on Switch 1.
>>737483534It's $50 because Nintendo is lowering the price of all their digital games. The physical is still $60.
>>737483534because there's no online matchmaking the game is an easier salmon run
>>737483636I've had a carnal lust for Marina and the Octolings since day 1, but I will gladly welcome more reasons to want to fuck them.
>>737483780If you payed for the online expansion you can get octo expansion for free
>https://x.com/i/status/2047239559189352629>It's just a copypasted Side order areaTh..thanks
>>737484143>>737483586>>737480697welp guess I'll shoot out my ink
>>737420032>goblina spammed everywhere I play video games to escape reality
>>737479112>>737479398The annoyance that they stopped adding new things to salmon run is offset by how it wasn't entirely scrapped and we get an entire game dedicated to it instead.
>>737484334I would unironically really love it if Raiders had a roguelite dungeon as a side thing. I really liked Side Order.
>>737483939It's still "budget price" even if 60/70 becomes the new norm like with Yoshi.
>>737483780Yeah, I'm currently emulating octo expansion and it's fun
>>737484334so I guess dungeons are gonna be like side order floors then
https://x.com/SplatoonJP/status/2047239559189352629>lava>single page up without recent zelda scrolling>mix and match upgradesIf the upgrades let you reorder them for different effects then are we actually getting Splatoon X Noita
>>737484143Made for sex and cuddles.
>>737484702>If the upgrades let you reorder them for different effects then are we actually getting Splatoon X NoitaHoly shit. Imagine. I love stuff like this.
>>737484391>SKF even for the scarsHoly fuck
Fuck this. I`m gonna buy and support the other Splatoon Gamehttps://downloads.fanbox.cc/files/post/11471204/9otKRCLCFHgjOP4I7FbVnQxb.mp4
>>737485645Is this by the same dev as the flash game?
poor guy
>>737484334The dimensions are different, but this makes it nearly certain that dungeons are successive combat arenas
>>737484391Huh, do those graffitis appears like on some stages or stuff? I assume salmonids drew them but who knows
>>737486885Artbook and the locker stickers you can get in exchange for scales.
>>737482181>at least 8 gadget and confirmation of movement based onesInk skates, here I come
>>737486956Oh yeah, I meant like their origins gamewise, the whirlpool one appears on spawning ground so I'll assume the salmonids made them?
>>737482219I’m really curious what the tanks do, other than determine which upgrades you can equip
>>737487363>I'll assume the salmonids made them?yes, it's pretty obviously meant to be salmonid tribal art, I'm not sure about the exact pieces but you can at least see similar style stuff on the SR stages
>>737487492That's what I thought but i was asking just in case I missed something thanks, that's interesting then
Erotic....
>>737420032I saw somebody say this is a singleplayer only game. No multiplayer. Is that true?
>>737489270Wrong.Although as far as we know, it seems to be only co-op rather than PVP.
>>737489270there's co-op
>>737488703I don't get bottom right
>>737489863It's a Fizzy Bomb, and is being combined with a conch shell to make a gadget
>>737489979Maybe being combined with the conch, it'll continuously spray instead of explode after being thrown
>>737482761>the pokemonSeriously though I'm pretty sure it's just a common onomatopoeia thing in Japanese
>>737490635I imagine a translation cock-up given the UK account fittingly called it the Splatchet.
>>737483428Unless they're working on Animal Crossing instead.
>>737482256what a nice pup :)
>>737483093you're missing out if you're not playing salmon run, it's great even if you queue with randoms
>>737482256The large pants + small waist combo is hot on her
>>737490987That reminds me. I wonder if the other outfits are similar to more game heroines.
>>737484729>Nintendo still wants you to think that this is a creature that reproduces asexually
>>737490831the english version always fanfics their own names
>>737491253I mean if you want an octoling, you use sexual reproduction. If you want a octarian, you cut off a tentacle. With that being said, it's gotta be fucked up to be an octarian, knowing you're a second class being, a cutting that grew into someone with thoughts and feelings, and no amount of war-time propaganda is going to convince you that you're "equal" to an octoling because you're just so radically different. You LITERALLY don't have a soul, and you know it.
>>737491253Humanoids do it sexually, Agent 3 had a charms made to attract males
>>737491374as with Xenoblade, the EN localisation for Splatoon is superior canon
>>737491468Okay? Still fanfiction
>>737492036>>>/jp/
>>737491092>>737490987Reminds me of 2000s fashion
>>737491468nah
>>737491092I hope we can use amiibos to get other heroes gears likeCallie = Agent 3Marie = Agent 4Pearl = Side order Marina = Agent 8Shiver = Neo agent 3 Frye = Neo agent 3 (broken)Big man = Neo agent 3 (Space)
>>737490985I'm too much of a cheapskate to pay for online desu, but does look like fun, I don't remember that I ever played it way back when nso was free. If I could do just a month of the expansion online I probably would.
>>737490831It's funny that Leon in Resident Evil 9 got an Axe and now the Mechanic also gets an Axe.
>>737494157The online initially seems annoying but it works out when looking at the other stuff too.If you play something like 4 of the older games at some point in the year that you pay for, then it's worked out at a better price than if you'd got those games on the wii's virtual console.Then there's the music app and exclusive games too.
>>737484729>>737491253Everyone knows DJ Octavio made Octolings sexy on purpose to distract Inkling Boys.
>>737495395>inklings having to constantly up their game just to get around what the enemy did naturally
>>737493913Booyah is objectively superior to Nice>>737494157if you're a fan of wave defense modes i really cannot recommend it enough, it's the best wave defense mode in the history of gamingi implore you
Some sort of trash bag gadget that creates a spinning ink whirlwind effect can be seen at 2:30ish in the trailer
The salmon equivalent to the drizzling capriccioso can be seen at 2:38
>>737496769Actually, not a gadget, you can see the splatchet and the orbiters gadgets equipped to their tank. Probably a bot ability
>>737433904YES! I want to get killing octos!
>>737495395>Never ask an Inkling nationalist what species his girlfriend is.
>>737484702If dungeons are just successive rooms of salmonid fights, I wonder how they’ll make them feel distinct from the fights around the points of interest on the islands themselves. Maybe just the increased challenge of successive fights you can’t run from?
>>737497841my hope is that dungeons are the Raiders version of Salmon Run Next Wave, nice little self-contained multi-round wave defense arenas with public matchmaking and a centralised objectivei have no friends and i'm worrying that the "play with friends" tweet is literal
I'm so glad raiders is turning out to be a PvE focused spin off, I wanted more salmonoid content especially with 4 player co op.
>>737484702>Splatoon X NoitaYes! Please!
>>737498306Yeah, I think that’s probably the best way to conceptualize what they’ll likely be. Successive individually designed waves of SR with their own unique arenas
>>737498376
>>737499213Watch out!
>>737498376A co-op campaign is a perfect gameplay format for them to explore. And it’s really cool that they’re doing a unique take on an extraction shooter as they do it. Feels like taking out the pvp element of that genre and giving it a campaign structure fixes everything that turns most people off from it (repetitive and sisyphean nature with gear wipes, pvp sweatiness)
>"Ayy" (Suffer not the Mutant Fish to live.)
>>737498376>>737499378Never managed to get any of my friends into Splatoon so hopefully this'll be a good starting point for them. They all seem pretty hyped for this one since it's co-op.
>>737500138The Mechanic is not getting paid enough for this job.
>>737500138Same. My friends and I played a bit together in 3, but they’re not super into pvp, and even Salmon Run was a bit too score chasey and sweaty for them. They all seem excited for this though
>>737500792I'd do it for free if it meant I could be that close to Frye
>>737487424If I had to guess, I assume it's similar to the Crest system from Silksong, probably tweaking how many gadgets you can use, how much ink you carry, and probably what your special is.
>>737501356we also know from the salmonid statue in the trailer that some relics will only be compatible with certain types of ink tanks
>>737499378I really enjoy Salmon run, and have played it quite an autistic amount of hours for golden badges over the PvP focus that the game has. I'm definitely happy to see PvE focus with team mates being on the table and can see me and my friends playing it for a while.
>>737485645>squids >in waterThis shouldn't tick me off but it does.
>three "bandit" idols go to the Spiral Islands>they all get outperformed by their mechanic, the only one who gets anything done>not even a member of the squidbeak SplatoonEmbarassing.
>>737501679deep cut canonically has never lost a single match in turf war btw
>>737501679You gotta remember the Mechanic is an Inkling that actually focused enough to learn how to repair and operate a Helicopter.They PAID ATTENTION in school.
>>737501679>>they all get outperformed by their mechanic, the only one who gets anything doneokay but that's the case for every splatoon protagonist, of course (You)'re the special secret strongest one who gets to do everything, at least this time they actually have a gameplay function (which is actually an idea I've had for a while) rather than just sitting on the side and saying random bullshit until the obligatory final boss moment
>>737502539At least pearl got some admin abuse powers to help in Side Order.
>>737501567shiver is so lucky
>>737420032>Splatoon 3 dlc campaigb sold to you for full price -$10>what a steal!Tendies are pathetic. 2 did it for $20
>>737503324This will be much bigger and more substantial, it will be worth the money.
>>737503324lol retard
>>737503324>Every spinoff or sequel is actually a dlc You're so starved of games that you don't even know what a series is.
>>737503540It’s pretty funny the double standards people have with game pricing. RE9 is 11 hours long and $70, and there’s not a peep about it being overpriced
>>737503324It's getting harder and harder to discern what is bait and what is genuine mental retardation.
>>737503602Youre right that im starved for games, my switch 2 has been collecting dust since the novelty of mario kart world wore off!
>>737482181Yebweyy-only gadget? Which one is for woomveems tho?
>>737503540Nintendo puts infinitely small budgets into their games. Splatoon 3 itself couldve been argued to have been dlc for 2 with no new game modes. You can bootlick for the faustian company all you want, anytime i spend money on a tendie game after smash ultinate, i feel cheated. Save for maybe kirby air riders.>>737503803This is cope
>>737504027Why do you like using "Faustian" so much?
>the game that's on a new engine complete with completely new models for player characters, new animations and pretty much everything changed is just a simple dlc bro
>>737503943>only yebs are allowed to tie a sea shell to a pop can
>>737504027>Splatoon 3 itself couldve been argued to have been dlc for 2 with no new game modes.genuine mental retardation, gotcha. thanks for clearing that up anon
>>737504118It matches pozzed era nintendo perfectly.
>>737504169Name 1(one) thing 3 had that octo expansion didnt already do. No seriously. A few more maps? It was such a nothing burger it's hard to remember
>>737503175They're both pretty lucky from either perspective
it doesnt look very interesting
>>737504169This dumb sperg was spamming an earlier thread with the same talking point but never responded when I pointed out how retarded it would be to completely rebalance a game and remove specials (which was needed) from a game people already owned
>>737504196pearl and marina are canonically lesbian lovers and acht is nonbinary
>>737504272Squid Roll and Squid Surge
>>737504540>pearl and marina are canonically lesbian loversI can fix them
I want to lick the armpit of that stinky sweaty mechanic inkling.
>>737504580No seriously, name something else. Im sure there has 2 be. 2 universal mechanics warrants the $60 price tag? Other games do shit like that as a free update to incintevize you to buy a season pass.
>>737504927how about the metric fuckton of qol additions you fucking tard
>>737505079why are you even bothering, man
>>737505079>engaging with the guy advocating for pay-gated multiplayer content and mtx modelyou’re a complete moron
>>737505173i'm very bored.
>>737505275Go scan the trailer for more details or engage with the people (me) who have done so and are posting about it. There’s good discussion to be had
>>737504272squidrollsbowssplatanasegg launcher in salmon runnew bosses in salmon run
>>737505481All of that just sounds like dlc.>>737505195Online service gameNot an argument.
>>737505769>DLC that splits the playerbase due to fundamental mechanical differences and different core contentsounds like a sequel actually
>>737505173Its a good pointThat was a very limp-dicked attempt.
it's cute that you can see shiver's pet shark swimming around the hideout
>>737505842>still replying after his incredibly obvious refusal to engage with the monetization of the forever game model he’s suggestingSplat yourself, idiot
>>737506052but it's fun to make him explain how retarded he is
>>737506002based, I love that they have familiars. Glad they’re being used even more
>>737505842>tendies are such beaten wives that theyre happy for paid weapon dlc.>even worse they use this to justify a full price game for it.Pathetic.
>>737506101No it isn’t, it’s the same shit that’s been polluting this thread for years. His bait isn’t even Raiders related now. There’s a new game to discuss, and you’re rehashing old 3 arguments
>>737506221so true! everything should be like destiny 2, just add everything to one game forever until it gets so bloated they start removing things you paid for
I'm just sad there probably won't be any platforming. Of course who knows maybe there will be some platforming sections or challenges
>>737506171Yeah it's real cute.
>>737506408Destiny 2 was never good.
>>737506493Hopefully some of the terrain in the later areas encourages platforming/movement through the environment during combat. I like Splatoon platforming, but Nintendo isn’t at a loss for platformers, so I’m cool with a bigger combat focus
>>737506493frankly the platforming was never it's strong suit, the only time it was really stand out was the secret kettle in 3
>>737506304>people have been saying this for years>still defending itThank God im not the only one calling you retarded faggots for defendinf this shit lmfao! What a pathetic fanbase!>>737505854>larping like its miiverse to circlejerk against the big meanie who actually cares about the content nintendo puts outYou got a stream i could watch? You sound luke a very funny sperg.
>>737507026Pretty funny image to post when it’s obvious you will lol
>>737506872Yeah hopefully there's at least some tricky stuff here or there. I know it'll still be good regardless but after 3 showed off how fun the platforming can be I just can't help but want more of it.>>737507023Yeah that's exactly how I feel. I feel like that really showed off how fun platforming can be in splatoon. So I just hope there's at least some in Raiders
>>737507337Watch them stutter>no u!But theyll never say im wrong.
>>737467903Wow this thread is still up but it's from the guy's perspective. She is obviously saying platoon but he can't not think of Splatoon. It would be like if she was reading a book about instruments and said ocarina and it would just be a fatass OoT logo instead. granted it wouldn't be as funny because that can't be used in the context of a bunch of soldiers getting brained
>>737507023I just hope it doesn't have any more rail grind target missions.
>>737507659Opinions can't be wrong, but they can be stupid.
