What a fun selection of hairstyles.And male characters didn't get totally shafted this time.
>>737768441>And male characters didn't get totally shafted this time.everyone say thank you to that one guy who complained at the investors meeting lol
>Their accessories aren't edible couldn't be veemo.
>>737767391which hairstyle are you /v/ros using for your mechanic?i'm torn between the decora twintails and kelp braid.
Do you think we'll get weekly updates?
>>737767391i hope the dating sim dev adds some of those characters in future updates
>>737770984Headband, I want to soak it in salmon blood and piss.
Out of curiosity, do we think Splatoon 3 sold in the west vs in Japan? I feel like the franchise gets overlooked by western media, but maybe it really does have that little presence here
>>737775610*how much do we think it sold in the west
>>737770984it's between the trash bag bandana, grapple hook hair tie, and the AV cables for me
>>737775610>I feel like the franchise gets overlooked by western mediaBecause Nintendo doesn't pay the media.
>>737767391I plan on buying Splatoon Raiders but I haven't played any of the other Splatoon games. What Splatoon lore things should I know before July?
>>737776249do not trust Lil' Judd
>>737776249We're fighting Salmonids, a warrior race of mutant fish. They build their own kitchen and cooking themed weapons, with some help from the Octolings, but that partnership is probably over now.We originally were paid by a company called GrizzCo to steal Golden Eggs from them as a part time job, but they've recently started invading Inkopolis and Splatsville as revenge.They used to be a near biblical plague on Inkling kind in the far past, but that stopped after Ranged Weapons were invented.Mr. Grizz was the original CEO, but now Lil' Judd leads GrizzCo in secret.
>>737770984Not gonna lie, most of them look too quirky chungus to me. If I could stick with the default hairstyle, I would. I'll take one of the boring ones that won't get twitter users to yell cultural appropriation at me.
>>737776848I'd also prefer Default Messy Hair.
>>737776848>most of them look too quirky chungus to me.Frye isn't giving you a choice. You will submit.

>>737767391Cute space buns :)
>>737767391>Chain braids>Frye sidekickSquiggas we are so up
>>737776129I guess, but they give more attention to something like Fire Emblem, which never sold even close to as much, and doesn’t have the gaming royalty status to explain it like Metroid. Just seems like gaming journo biases at play, but I was willing to consider that maybe it really does sell poorer in the states than I thought and coverage doesn’t get good metrics

>>737780418As if there's a healthy amount of time to spend in this cesspool. Casual racism aside, I just think those hairstyles look like shit except for the 'fro. Calling shit nigger hairstyles is just an easy shorthand.

>>737785237>still no squid milfs in SplatoonHow can Nintendo keep making this mistake?
>>737783447Why is Octavio so huge? From what I know he's just an Octoling stuck in swim form
>>737785626he's a fatass I guess
>>737785626He's full of salt and vinegar, because Captain Cuttlefish wouldn't hang out with him.
>>737783447>eight is an adult in side orderDa fawk?? I though 8 in game was stated to be 2-3 years younger then first agent 3? Who starts Splatoon 1 as a 12 year old, Spat 3 side order was bout 9 years in game so their about 21 which would put 8 at round 18-19, young adult?
>>737788456>I though 8 in game was stated to be 2-3 years younger then first agent 3?I don't remember that but keep in mind that it takes place 2-3 years after the first game>Who starts Splatoon 1 as a 12 year oldinklings in 1 are stated to be around 14
>>737789098>it takes place 2-3 years after the first gameYa and in side order it looks to be implied that 8 was a junior recruit (underage with Marina as her senior officer and group mentor) during Spat 1 and is is presumed to be 14 at Splat 2.>inklings in 1 are stated to be around 14derp so our captain was around 23 during side order with 8 being bout 20 - 21... eh young adult still. Also Splat 4 better have them with body sizes like the idols then if they are still aging them with the passing years.

Do squid kids have squid titties?
>>737792136the adults do, except for my beautiful flat wife shiver
As usual, octolings just can't stop winning with their hairstyles. I'm especially fond of this one, the sidebraid is very sweet and cute. I was trying to maybe not make a veemo this time, and yet...>In #SplatoonRaiders you’ll play as the Mechanic. You’re adept at building gadgets, ship facilities, and all sorts of other things. Customize your weapons and appearance as you set out on the search for salvage!
>>737792136Yes but no squiddie milk, just ink in them sacs
>>737767391black inklings just dont look right. they should make them all white and keep octolings black instead.
>>737792681I want to chew on those red tips.

>>737767391I want to get into Splatoon. Where the fuck do I start and is it worth buying to play online instead of waiting for 4?Do these games have lore? Is it true that Octo Expansion is the only good single player mode? Is it true that despite having less players Splatoon 2 is better then Splatoon 3? The aesthetics are certainly nicer. Is there any cool stuff I'd miss not starting with the first one? Help.
>>737795510>where the fuck do i start3, online for 1 is officially dead and 2 is a ghost town>is it true that OE is the only good single player mode?yes and no, it's certainly the best, but 3's base campaign is also quite good. i'd recommend emulating 1 and 2's campaigns>is it true 2 is better than 3no, and anyone who says otherwise is either a shitposter or a contrarian>is there any cool stuff i'd miss not starting with 1refer to the answer of question 2
>>737795510Fine I'll spoonfeed.>is it worth buying to play onlineIt's pretty much the main thing you'll be doing unless Raiders is heavily replayable>instead of waiting for 43 still gets updates, there was one last month. You're gonna have to wait a long while/until next Nintendo console for the next mainline Splatoon title>Do the games have loreYeah, but you don't need to know any of it to follow the game, you can go through at your own pace>Octo ExpansionI personally think it's overrated but it's probably heavily praised for a reason>S2>S3In aesthetics, yeah; in gameplay, hell no
>>737795510>Where the fuck do I startsplat 3, anyone telling you differently is a Smash Melee tier autist desperately clinging on to a literally dead or figuratively dead game>and is it worth buying to play online instead of waiting for 4?i'd say yesi think you can get a 7 day free trial anyway>Do these games have lore?tons but you don't need to play the games for it to make sense>Is it true that Octo Expansion is the only good single player mode?kinda, although 3's campaign took a lot of design elements from Octo Expansion, it's alrightSide Order has neat ideas but personally i find it extremely mid, but if you're really into room-based roguelikes you might like it>Is it true that despite having less players Splatoon 2 is better then Splatoon 3?no3 isn't perfect, its maps are less "open" and more "competitive lanes style" than 2's and its meta is rather stale as the game is almost four years old, but it's far more balanced than 2 and more importantly is actually alivealso Salmon Run Next Wave mogs the shit out of 2's Salmon Run and i play it literally every single day, best PVE wave mode of all time>Is there any cool stuff I'd miss not starting with the first one?nothing you can't get from youtube lore videosalso when you do start, you're stuck with Turf War until unlocking Ranked at level 10 (i think), and Turf War is a garbage baby mode populated entirely by sweatlords now, so just grind it out until you can start playing Splat Zones and Tower Control
>>737796035>>737796056>>737796062Thanks guys, I think I'll buy 3 for the online and if I get invested in the series try emulating the single player stuff from Splatoon 1 and plsying those campaigns in order. I'll heed the advice about Turf War probably being trash. Might import a Japanese version of 2 as well since they have a version with Octo Expansion on the cart if I can find it for a good price.
>>737796645welcome aboard squiddo, hope you have a good time
>>737796645>Might import a Japanese version of 2 as well since they have a version with Octo Expansion on the cart if I can find it for a good priceIf you have or are going to get the nintendo online expansion octo expansion comes free
>>737796761Thank you>>737796898Oh shit, that's good to know. I like owning games if possible but that's probably a bettet deal since I need to extend my subscription and the game is pretty short anyways. I imagine normal used copies are also way cheaper
>>737796645>Might import a Japanese version of 2 as well since they have a version with Octo ExpansionHuh, all these years obsessed with octolings and I never knew. Guess it didn't apply to me since I bought it day one.
>>737795510>Where the fuck do I start3 if you're wanting to get in for the online, go in order for the story>is it worth buying to play online instead of waiting for 4?I don't know, it's for you to decide, 3's seemingly done with any real content additions and is just rerunning older splatfests for an unspecified amount of time, hopping in this late might also difficult in terms of matchmaking>Do these games have lore?yes>Is it true that Octo Expansion is the only good single player mode?no, I think all the single player modes are quite fun and 3's is done in a similar style to octo expansion and has the mechanical upgrades of 3, but in terms of storytelling/aesthetics octo expansion is the best>Is it true that despite having less players Splatoon 2 is better then Splatoon 3?no, it's obviously subjective but 3 has many upgrades/good changes>Is there any cool stuff I'd miss not starting with the first one?experiencing the story progression is the only thing now that 1's online is gone

>>737801426seems it is so nevermind had no idea
>>737773340"he" doesn't add anything. It's all being made and designed by chatgpt now, he just glances over the result before pushing it out.
>>737770984Not sure. Usually go for the “default male inkling” look, but not really sure what that’s going to be for this game.
When will we finally get playable sanitized?
I still want some crossover content with other Nintendo octopus and squid characters like Bubbler, Octoman, and Squiddicus.
>>737802013>Usually go for the “default male inkling” lookWhat are you, the target audience?
Giving octarians inkling rights was the worst mistake we ever made.
so did they add switch 2 mouse support or not? it'd be retarded if they didn't but this IS nintendo
>>737802523Likely not till Splatoon 4. But I am still grateful for the switch 2 patch that makes it so the game runs way better now. I couldn't believe my eyes when I first started it up and saw how smooth the newscast and hub areas are.
>>737802523Of course not.It'd be completely unfair to Switch1 players f Splatoon3.Unless you mean Raiders, then to my knowledge we don't know yet
>>737802663It looks so nice. The hub has so much detail, like the fake miiverse led signs, that look vastly better with the improved resolution. Splatoon’s benefits more from the hardware improvements than most other Nintendo games
>>737803475>. Splatoon’s benefits more from the hardware improvements than most other Nintendo gamesxenoblade. Astral Chain. BayonettaBotW/TotK Korok forest
>>737803475I'd have to check the other ones, I don't know them all off the top of my head. I know Odyssey and Kirby got upgrades. I'm just happy that salmon run EVP doesn't have slowdown anymore.
>>737803564You realize those represent a small percentage of the whole? I don’t get why you’re trying to be a pedant. Something like BotW/TotK improves a ton with the performance, but the aesthetic scales to lower resolutions better, and that’s true for a ton of their games that are more performant on Switch. I think a ton of the finer details in Splatoon are lost without higher res, like all of the little decals on weapons and such
I'm enjoying the positive reaction this specific style is getting. It caught my eye when the trailer first dropped, but most people were too distracted by the other one.
>>737804093>finer details in Splatoon are lost without higher res, like all of the little decals on weapons and suchapplies to xenoblade and astral chain equally. Or signage/decals/markers in Kirby Forgotten Land.Not saying Splatoon doesn't benefit but plenty others do get just as much as a buff.Mario is the one that really isn't effected as much frankly.
flyfish boss soon
>>737807208>heading to the boatThose poor jellies
>>737794698those numbers are all very recent so it does seem to be the case, although it's also including other non-jap regions besides "the west", however relevant they may be
>Dungeons are actual side order-like missions>The tweet wonders if Salmonifs truly built those dungeons
>>737809036>dungeonsRaiders is pikmin 2 confirmed
>>737809036I wonder who built this? Definetely not humans it seems well too in shape compared to something like the octarian domes (that wer ehuman made too), guess the same guys that made that mech.Maybe that civilized was raped by the salmonids who took it as their home?
The level design seems pretty open and linear at the same time I don't get it
>>737809802I hope they're Zelda like dungeons
>>737809802you'll probably super jump from one segment to the next
>>737809802It seems like the Stages will be fairly open for exploration, but they'll also contain Dungeons, which play out like Side Order Floors.
>>737809036>>737809570Maybe it was Mr. Grizz?
>>737809036Its gonna be like Pikmin where it's like, heres all these big areas to run around, and also heres these holes to jump into for a linear gauntlet
>>737812218Suits me.
>>737809036pic looks more like the classic splatoon stages, so I think dungeons will be both side-order like combat challenge rooms and classic linear action-platforming
>>737810734Don't even joke.
>>737815225Who's joking? There are some pretty disconnected areas in that screenshot that would either be a case of>game letting you see other stages from the one you're at even if you need to enter through another entrance to access themor the more likely>dungeons consist of a chain of small trials, each time you finish one segment a super jump pad appears that lets you progress to the next portion
>>737805046There’s far fewer fine details in Kirby designs, contrarian idiot
>>737809036Nothing about that looks like Side Order. And >>737809802 shows that the dungeons are actually large and interconnected, just that there are little arenas within them. Quit trying to confirm your preconceived notions
>>737816704>And >>737809802 shows that the dungeons are actually largeis that a dungeon? kinda looks like an above ground area to me
>>737809036>>737809802>>737812372>dungeons aren’t just exclusively the combat islands we’d seen>there may be some amount of navigation/exploration to themNeat, they’re more interesting than I’d thought. The ring obstacle course in particular is great to see, as some pace breakers from the combat and differentiation between the surface and dungeon is reassuring about the longevity of the experience. Won’t get too samey>>737815964There seems to be a launch pad in >>737809036 , but It being at the start of a seemingly linear platforming section is confusing
>>737817225I think you’re right, good callout. I tunnelvisioned on the lava, cause the splatchet clip was underground. But this looks like above ground Zapiz Island. So maybe dungeons are linear sequences, but with more than combat. Maybe closer to OE or campaign levels. The non-combat stuff is still cool, but maybe not really sprawling dungeons. Hard to say
>>737817601>There seems to be a launch pad but It being at the start of a seemingly linear platforming section is confusingit's possibly how you exit the dungeon, if you so choose to not take on the challenge at the time
>>737818030Maybe. Also looks like there may be a gap that requires it to launch us to that ring section. The bot seemed to be planted in some device, so this does seem like an isolated little thing. Wonder how this would work in co-op
