Splatoon indoctrination video just dropped. Raiders advertising is about to start in earnesthttps://youtu.be/7sVB_DDHCTg
splatoon 3's sales fell off a cliff a few months after launch, i'm not sure if it ever outsold 2 in the end. they're probably making moves to reinvigorate the franchise
>>740320214Need Splatoon 1 on Switch 2 with gamepad features enabled via gameshare
Lmao Jesus Christ they’re really not gonna have a direct are they?
>>740320540They are. They're not going to waste time with a Splatoon retrospective in it.
>>740320420Selling nearly as much as the first game on the console is a huge success, are you retarded?
>>740320540Nintendo News will just receive a new video with details about Raiders.
>>740320585I look forward to you defending Nintendo if/when they don’t.
>>740320420Splatoon 2>13.6MSplatoon 3>11.96MI'm sure Nintendo's fine.
>>740320631It sold 10m in the first 3 months and that was it. 2 years of pumping out updates and nothing to show for it.
>>740320764What they have to show for it is keeping the audience pleased and willing to come back again. People bought in with the expectation of content updates. If they hadn’t gotten them, the franchise’s reputation would have tanked. You think these sales numbers are anything less than a massive success for their investment and a incredible retention?
Where's the rundown on a squid's digestive system?
>>740321043Splatoon 3 took more time and money to develop than Splatoon 2, and it sold less. Therefore the franchise is trending downwards. What else is there to say? You think Nintendo are happy with that result?
>>740320540The Direct is in 4 days anon
>>740321384>Splatoon 3 took more time and money to develop than Splatoon 2How do you know that?>You think Nintendo are happy with that result?Yes.
I've never played a Splatoon game. Is 2 still worth getting, or is it dead?
>>740321384do you think they expected higher sales for a sequel on the same console when that never happens for them? are you that retarded or is this motivated reasoning?
>>7403215802 is worth getting for she
>>7403215802 died after 3 released in 2022 and it's only worth playing for single player modes. Wait for Raiders.
>>740321580Why get 2? Just get 3 or Raiders? You can always rent 2 and buy the dlc or something, it’s the only worthwhile part after 3’s release
>>740320214>Not one second of Splatoon 1 gameplay>Talk abour splatfests when nect summerfest is most likely thr last one????
>>7403215802's multiplayer is completely dead. Only get it if you really want to play though the single player modes.
>>740320420god you are fucking retarded. Are you French? That's the only places were I meet people telling me that splatoon is a massive flop with a straight face.
>>740321685Why would you even bother bringing up raiders? Shit looks like DLC instead of a full fledged game. The price alone should indicate it's not a real splatoon game and instead some mini-side game.The real answer is to play 3. If you really like the single player part, consider getting raiders. Otherwise stick to 3.
>>740322098Because it’s a cheaper entry point that they may have interest in. And no shit, they’ve referred to it as a spinoff. Are you braindead?
>>740321740Probably because 1's online is dead and you can't buy it from them anymore.
Not a bad video, good to see Nintendo put in effort to market Splatoon more.
>>740323490It was solid, but it should have mentioned the ranked modes. I feel like they’re something the uninitiated often don’t know about
>>740321740>Talk abour splatfests when nect summerfest is most likely thr last oneGoing off of Nintendo's previous history they dont drop splatfests until the sequel is in dev and set to release within a year.With Raider being side order electric boogaloo I doubt they would drop splatfests until 4 is a good chunk of the way through dev
I love splatoon its my favorite series right now, I am still trying to beat the splatoon 2 dlc the last boss is very hard. I can't wait to play raiders
>>740324607Inner Agent 3 is 10/10 superboss. I hope they have something on its level in Raiders
>>740323904Yeah that's true. Still, it's better than nothing. I think they showed off more than they have in a long time. Marketing for Pokopia and Yoshi wasn't great in my opinion. MP4 same thing, had like one good trailer or something
>>740320214Does this mean they will announce sploon 4?
>>740324807You can’t blame the marketing for MP4, the game was simply ass. And they were never going to win over retarded “core” gamers to Yoshi, so they were right to advertise to the younger demographic and let good WoM trickle in for the rest. Pokopia I do feel like had a more muted campaign, but TPC expects their games to sell themselves, and they were right once again
>>740320214>This is the whole Nintendo Direct for JuneAbsolute kek. They really have nothing to show.
>>740325061Wouldn't expect anything related to 4 until next year at least.This year's Raiders plus whatever post-launch stuff they have for it.
>>740320420Why did Splatoon 3 even happen? There's no reason to give more than one entry per generation to a series of that tier especially if it's an online multiplayer focused game
>>740320214Gearing up to reveal Smash 6 with Octoling
>>740320214Frye supremacy soon
>>740325193This has nothing to do with a Direct.Hell, if that video had shown up in a Direct people would be seething as it's just a general series introduction.
>>740325189With Pokopia they could have shown off sick builds and shown more what's possible. Felt so muted compared to what the game truly is.
>>740325219I wonder if they will have post launch support. I could see them adding new islands or something every now and then. A big one with some tie in to 4 would be great promotion
>We finally get a single-player focused game>It's about (bleh) DEEP CUTMaybe this game can turn me around on them but they're just so bad. They feel generic, look ugly, and have uninteresting personalities that don't blend well together. Shiver's a little arrogant but Frye is such an actual retard and Big Man's so nice there's no one to bounce off of. Even if Shiver's the only salvageable one, she's still leagues below the idols from the previous games
>>740326462Marina and Pearl were dogshit.
>>740326462Shit taste. The idols being violent little freaks that abuse big man is a fun dynamic, and they’re far from generic in any way
>>740326462Fyre is hot, so there's that. Forehead GOD
>>740327083
>>740327083>wereThey still are
>>740327083Worst idols.
