*raids your wallet"thanks, ngmi
someone help me buy a switch2 i’m desperate
Sweaty shiver facesitting
raiders had better have public matchmaking
Finished. I'm tired now. Goodnight, /ink/.
>>564352645rad
>>564352645Very nice enemy
Amiibo's acquired, I can now woom as intended
>>564352268this is probably some of the worst key art nintendo’s ever done
>only showed off eight of the twelve hairstyles in the gameirritating, hopefully we don't have to wait too long to see those
>>564353786it really isn't
I look forward to using Master Mega on the fish. But I do wonder how much a Deep Cut special will cost. Instead of the usual 190-220 will it be 300?, 500?
>>564353786mechanic looks like a cute lil possum or something :3
So considering a child ceph probably couldn't legally operate a helicopter, I assume the ceph you play as in Raiders is an adult.
>>564355465You can tell whoever drew this has pronouns in their bio.
>>564356152ok joey
>>564356152and how does this affect you personally?
>564357641
>>564347342>blobbing yeb loves big manI'm shocked.
joey are you the lucky joey?
who else is trying to climb s+1 while listening to kpop
No fatties allowed beyond this point
>>564361284Veemo is just going to have a little bit more ice cream...
anyone wanna solm tonight? Can stay up until I drop
>>564361375oh no, now veemo is 600lbs
>>564361375>>564363345leave and never return you degenerate scumbags, your kind deserves to be extracted from the genepoolsplatoon is /fit/ and always will be
>>564365161fat veemo is now 700lbs!
hmm
>>564365676This is a bit of a stretch
>>564365795No it isn't. It literally ties it all together. The story takes place in the past.
>>564365676>If Food won we would've gotten a Cooking Veemama game>If Fun won we would've gotten Woomyware gameThis theory makes no sense if you think for at least one second.
>>564367316No anon this is just a wild guess from your part.
Raiders is just Side Order but with salms
>>564368167mmmmmmmmmmm, veemama...
>>564369485raiders is going to be side order but not absolutely horrifically bad
Gonna be Veemo Mechanic.
>>564373737anything but the canon crispy floppersI hate crispy floppers
helloomy
>>564352606Raiders better have pubic matchmaking
>>564368167it's not that deepthe setting would've been the same, but the choices are team's mechanic, team's cook and team's joker
>>564376560none of those would've fit.
>>564371592side order is a 7/10 at worst
Raiders better have public masturbating
>The Salmonids found in Splatoon Raiders look a little redder...and a little more dangerous. There are even a few unique evolutions like this one: Salty Tongue.
>>564362835post utc time, can play before or after my scrim tonight
>>564379617>>564379719It's like a land based maws.
>>564379617I love this stupid fat chud I wanna kick him and watch him roll away.
Where did Side Order go wrong?
>>564379617>a little redderso raiders salmon are all in heat and extra horny
This was unironically the best hairstyle
>>564380524shitty central characters/story, gameplay too short with not enough variety, metagameplay (upgrades/floor choices) were too few and not impactful enough
>>564379617can't wait to see this thing fucking woomies
>>564380524extremely easylike, easier than s2 base campaign
>>564381482hackless side order is the second hardest thing in splatoon, don't lie
>>564381116ooooooooooooooooooh mechanic-chan
>>564382897*erases the best haircut option from your choices*
my woomy is a machine that turns fwar into loss streaks
my woomy is a machine that pumps cum in her bum
Say "thank you, Frye" now
>>564381579The problem is people don't seek that out, they play side order, find the starting difficulty frustrating (as the main thing you need to beat it is knowledge you don't have), get hacks until it's easy, then either stop playing or just brain off the rest until it's too easy and don't really learn how things interact You have to go out of your way to make SO actually click for you which while a flaw in the mode does explain why it's controversial, I really like SO but I also happened to have it "click" and now have all the chips at 3 lights etc Whereas IA3 is just right there, oooo you want to open the locker ooooo
>>564385191thank you frye for making shiver look even more attractive
>>564385191thank you frye for being attractive
>>564386245coprophiliac?
>>564386659>racism outside of /b/
>>564386734>he does it for free
>>564371441Ara ara
>>564380524Lack of playable Acht and additional outfits for her.And the game was bare bones they failed to add the most basic of stuff those types of games have. it really is a Side Order in every sense of the word.
Somehow he looks less dumb than the normal chum
Who wins the twerk off
>>564388691Forgot pic
>>564380524no playable woomy, no changeable clothes, barely any weapons, level design sucked ass, way too easy even with all the bullshit tuned up, bosses are laughably bad, no infinite mode, extremely basic upgrades, meaningless filler story, brought Acht back just for her to sit in the cuck corner
>>564389017Asynchronous Rondo and Smollusk are fun fights though
>>564389439chasing around a ball that has poses zero threat to me is mind numbing, smollusk is reskin of the marina fight
3 and side order were (still are) minimum viable products, and not in a cute and excusable way like S1 was.
>>564389991rondo is the tower boss dumdum
>>564390063christ, I genuinely forgot that boss even existed
>>564390060If they released a Splat 1 port with nothing changed but extra ceph customization I'd play it more than 3.
>>5643900603's base campaign is good though
>>564356152mechanic is so they/thembie coded <3
>new trailer for Raiders to discuss>let's talk about how "bad" 3 is for the nine billionth time againI hate this general.
>>564388691isn't twerking more of a thing for fat people? it relies on your ass having enough fat that it moves separately from your body
>>564388956frye already won the twerk tournament two years ago
anyone wanna play some open?
>>564386659seething lmaoyou always show up during news or fests, but never anytime elsem
>>564379828Probably more like a battering lento
>>564390893Good veemo.
what's all this crust about anyway
>>564390647tbf PvP players kinda got shafted
>>564390895i'm so mad shiver is so much more attractive than frye broi am so mad
>>564389017>no playable woomyBiggest sin teebeeaych, Agent 4 should have shown up after the first 30 Floor run clear.
>>564391803your parallel canon, bwo?
>>564391739>i'm not mad so i'll bring up how not mad i am every time i get the chance even when i'm not part of the conversation
I really hope the salmonids aren't the main enemy. I won't be terribly disapointed if they are. But i like it when there are huge suprises in games like this. Salmon being one group on the coast, and something else being further inland would be really cool. It always seemed like they should have added jelletons to salmon run as an occasional gimmick wave. I also dont want to let go of the idea that nautilus would live on the spiral islands. It makes sense right? Anyway i think the trailer finally kills any concerns that the game will be survival crafting. Which is a slight shame because building cusom grind rail and ink jet layouts sounds fun.
>>564391084I think it's sand but these salmonids are in their spawning phase so it might be some kind of disease like fin rot.
>>564391971if salmonids are the main threat i hope the entire campaign is all about their culture and lore and not just "we couldn't get away with using octotroopers for the fourth time"
buckets have many uses
rumor: woomy will be in raiders
>>564391084salt
>>564393051true if big
>>564393130https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSinQs_ExlQ
>>564393051two woomy in fact
>>564392971gigapudi
>>564391971considering the last two campaigns both did "fakeouts" i wouldn't be surprised if raiders also did it
Lil Judd will be the main villain and it will somehow relate to Grizzco... again.
Now that raiders is done we're finally going to get wave 3 and 4 DLC, 3rd kits and all the content they held back on for 3. And maybe even a real balance patch.
>>564393998>Now that raiders is done
>>564393998Yeah err no.
>>564393998splatoon 4 when
>>564394301announced at the next direct in june, watch.
spleak if it were ploon
>>564393998I hope some raiders stuff works its way into 3. Amiibo outfits, hair styles, there will almost certainly be a cross game save gimmick right?
Shitposters need not reply.Is there anyone who actually believed the wave 3/4 shit?
>>564392971Yes
Will we get another pair of idols in 4 or is 3 idol groups already enough and the grand festival was about which idols would show up in 4.
>>564394469i wasn't there for it at the time, but i can imagine nintendo set themselves up for it by calling them "waves" when every direct we'd hear about wave 8449 of the dlc for mario kart 8 deluxe booster course pass
>>564394469Wave 3 100%. Every thing comes in 3s.
>>564394561I do wonder if there's a point where adding more idols, more concepts doesn't make sense, and a "Splatoon Ultimate" becomes the logical directionI don't quite feel like we're there yet though, I can see one more traditional game
>>564394351please god i need splatoon 4 in order to live
>>564394604but all of mario kart's dlc waves were disclosed from the beginningother than some extra surprises like new characters, we knew there would be six waves from the starti really don't understand where the baseless speculation came from with splat3's expansion pass
>>564394771Deep Cut and Frye should be in every Splatoon game to piss off the butthurt people
the new veemo hairstyles are insanely cute, but I don't think I can break woomy tradition
>>564394604I think nintendo just came to the conclusion expansion passes were less marketable then just selling the dlc directly and wanted to kill that entire scheme as gracefully as possible.
Marie will show up in a stroller.
>>564380524they didnt get an amiibo
>>564394561We already have too many.They needed a DLC to flesh out OTH and get people to tolerate them. Then ruined all of that goodwill in the following DLC. Deep Cut are tacked on Jabronis and need a whole seperate game to give them characterization.Squid Sisters have 3 modes but 2's is just a replay of 1 and 3 is tacked on. Oh yes, my favorite, middle managers and the Inkantation again whoohoo.
>>564394351they're not gonna announce the next game before even releasing raidersat the earliest id expect something near end of the year but that's assuming the team was able to split very effectively which, who knows
>>564395283I feel like OTH didn't do anything in Side Order. The story just abruptly ends before it begins. It's like Octo Expansion where nothing happens.
>>564395283the inkantation is peak thoughbut only because of how octo expansion posited it, with eight having it stuck in her head longing for the surface yearning to fondle some floppers
>>564395283>they ruined all that good will!/ink/ers really just fucking say shit sometimes
>>564395264Wait, who's the second person in the picture?
Marie being a lazy asshole who insult you all the time will never get old.
>announce new amiibo>dont say what they unlock>dont say if they are compatible with 3>still sell out everywhere
>>564395645me shrunk down to the size of a grain of rice nestled in acht's ass cheeks
>>5643945614 idols who pair off in different combinations every splatfest for a traditional 2-way Splatfest and the different pairings express their character development
>>564395558Not a contradiction. Most people didn't buy Side Order.
>there are people who dislike Marie
>>564395704god i want to be frye
>>564395264>using the localized translation
>>564395864Nobody can dislike Marie. But Marie can dislike them (she dislikes most people)
>>564395704It may come as a shock to but people also like to have them as figures to display not just unlock some gear. That and scalper bots bought up a bunch to resell at stupid markups.
>>564395864We need someone to translate more doujins of splatoon
>>564395915kimono gaijin.png
Don't talk to me or my son ever again.
>>564395864yeah i dislike a lot of people here who like marie so i dislike marie too.
i just hope that raiders will have frye flop her ears around
but what about playing some open at rotation?
Do not be mad at Marie she smokes a pack of seaweed cigs a day.
>>564395264>>564396139
>>564396323in the initial reveal you can see her ears flop slightly
OtH still doesn't have any Hero Mode type game to their name.
>>564396394style > gender
>>564395864I don't dislike her but she's pretty boring compared to Callie.
>>564396615splat 3's hero mode is a 1:1 copy of octo expansion so what does that even mean
>>564391861>playableRead nigga R E A D
>>564396773not quite, the progression is a good bit different with having an overworld again and unlocking things through getting the eggs needed to burst the fuzzy oozethat and making many levels free to enter let them get rid of the skip mechanic in turnso it feels more like combining the two for the things that work in them
>>564396629Her boredom is part of the appeal.
>>564396627People forget Acht was introduced as a female in the beginning. Sad.
>>564396773Pearl and Marina don't show up physically at all until the very end.
>>564396341nevermind, if anyone was interested, busy now
https://vocaroo.com/1mTJGivT8tCkleaked raiders track
>>564381925>Hiiiiiii Anon! I want you to meet my new boyfriend, isn't he a cutie?
>>564398451so that's why they have bandages
So what is going to be deep cut's signature song?Or is off the hook going to show up and give us ebb and flow 3mix before they get to have an ending theme.
>>564398804probably Till Depth Do Us Partor maybe the tricolor shout

>>564398804big betrayal

>>564397480acht was also not green before
how is acht even alive she's a sanitised octoling>well actually she's a sepcial sanitised octoling because WHY DOES TARTAR NEED A SENTIENT DJ ANYWAY
>>564396025It's pretty expensive just as a display piece.
>>564398804The best songhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiEwunWKawoIt got you hyped up in the rocket stages it can do it again when fighting the kingWouldn't mind a brand new fast paced song to match up with the boss battle.
>>564397849Why does this sound so familiar
>>564399402Have you seen figure prices lately or for the last several years? Its not expensive at all
>>564399550why does frye rap here but not anywhere else
So long as Shiver barks, I'm happy.
>>564399717bro, your suffer no fools?
>>564399402??? like 25-30$ compared to the 80-120$ I spend on a standard anime figure

I will be honest, I'll miss the kettles with their weird TV-sky boxes.

>he's still replying
>>564402010In the Japanese version, Acht uses the first-person pronoun boku (ボク), typically masculine but often used in fiction by tomboys or gender-nonconforming characters.
>retards ITT doesn't realize that nintendo has full control over localization teams and has had a stricter grip on them since reggie left
Be honest /ink/. Would you prefer Booyah to be changed back to Nice?
>>564402696absolutely fucking not, booyah is way too cool
>>564402696no"always Nice! back" doesn't have the same ring to it
>>564399968get fusky

>>564402827based booyah backer
>>564403006splatoon 3 noa localization being essentially the same as the japanese version with very few deviations is pretty telling, especially compared to splatoon 2 and 1.it also happened in other nintendo games btw
>>564402696Honestly booyah is probably the best localization of that. Just works too well with booyah bomb.
>>564403285>Great crackeryou can't say that woomy
>>564403285>great crackerlolwut
Booyah is true ceph culture. No alternatives are acceptable
>>564403006now reply to the other one >>564402224
"woohoo splatter" is a famous inkopolis sex position
>>564403360Like firecracker
>>564403285>Nice-izing balllmao>Nice Spirit Bombchinese is hilariously cumbersome
>>564400730Look around other lines of figures this size exist and they cost just as much or more even in Japan. Its not amiibo are overpriced. Its Japan makes the entire anime/game figure market way overpriced for what it is and they just keep raising prices.
>>564403727Holy shit wait it actually is spirit bomb you gather energy from your teammates. How did I never put those two together?/ink/ am I retarded?
>>564401918At least they don't have grillers or flyfish>>564403854YES
>>564403854very.
>>564403854Yeah, thats probably terminal.
>>564403854Yes. It's so over for you.
>>564403854based endearing retard
>>564403854i'll tell you moreon release it also took a while to charge, so you got the authentic experience of main character leaving the fight and watching the side characters duke it out for a few episodesbut ngmi is an utter retard and buffed b-bomb for it to no longer be the case, so it's both no longer thematically appropriate and stupidly imbalanced on top
>>564404227Imagine your Grizzco local branch manager finding your Squid Sister fanart porn in your work locker. Say goodbye to minimum wage.
>>564404394I dont see how that's any of her concern
what if this game establishes raiders as a subseries going forward and all raiders games will involve deep cut somehow
>hey splat zones is up in open>mincemeat and floundergood lord
>>564404534How will woomy eat. How will woomy sleep. How will woomy get tickets to Squid Sisters concerts to take pictures of boobs.
>>564399402they're a good bit nicer than your usual prize figures, so it makes sense for their price to be sorta in between prize figures and proper ones, and its more so in the prize figure direction really
>>564396269take your schizo meds kold nobody wants you here
>>564404308>teammates voluntarily give you their spirit through their own active effort in the middle of the fightif anything it's even more thematically appropriate
>>564403591>tomboy>a girl or young woman who exhibits traits, interests, or behaviors traditionally associated with boys or men
>>564401217holy shit
>>564405362It would not surprise me, although a veemo 4 would make no sense.
>>564405226i accept your concession that Mizuta Ahato canonically uses a masculine pronoun
>>564405607why has shiver broken her mask and used a piece of it as a flop pin
>>564402224There's a massive leap between "I'm boyish" and "I'm a they/thembie". Especially when the Dev diary shows she's a delinquent type, it seems like a pretty clear characterization to me. It really feels to me like someone on NOA simply got a headcanon. Which, I don't even dislike the concept of sanizitation being interpreted this way, but something this integral to a character has to be done with writer's intent, not as a localization team's fun interpretation through their cultural lens. Especially so when Splatoon's pull on many people is its culture and its worldbuilding, pulling in modern cultural fringe is a danger to that.
>uhm it's NoA because NCL can't do anything wrong
>>564405745>There's a massive leap between "I'm boyish" and "I'm a they/thembie"yeah i kinda feel like that leap is differentiated by whether you use gender-nonconforming pronounsif anything "they/them" is LESS explicit than boku
let me she/them tiddies
>arguements about gender>i just want to know if they do it in squid form.
why are we pretending bokukkos are trannies???
why are we pretending they/them isn't just ameribokkuko?
>>564405061I'm new here, can I get a qrd on this kold individual? I keep seeing this name pop up here.
>>564405607Never.
>>564394469>>564394604>>564394869>>564395009This was literally the only thing that had people convinced there would secretly be an additional two waves later down the line lmaoThough I can't really say for sure why they decided to use four colors in the Expansion Pass logo and have two of them line up with what was being announced at that moment, maybe they thought it'd be funny to mess with autistics.>>564406743It's not, you retard
>>564406613The same reason they pretend otokonoko are trannies
>>564408083if they did have 2 additional waves, what would they be? More neo 3 and a little bit of agent 4?
>yeah bro nintendo would just give you 2 more dlcs for free including a full on campaignlol
>>564408508Theory autists must be stopped at any cost
>>564408402It could've been gear, adding the old campaigns to replay or even reintroducing the amiibo mini-games.>>564408508The dlc cost money.
>>564408083it is
>>564408147don't even get me started, currently playing a trapge where they explicitly point out the fact that they're boys and the translator still felt the need to add "she/hers" where they don't belong
>>564408402>>564408508Wave 1 was literally just Inkopolis Plaza with some new shopkeepers, new Tableturf opponents and a graphical facelift so I can see why people might have expected surprise announcements of smaller waves later down the line. The radio silence about Side Order was pretty telling tho
>>564409167>femboyslopyou deserve it
>>564409178To this day I blame animal crossing for the scuffed releases
Splatoon 3 has passed. Move on. The age of raiders begins.
>>564408402More alterna stuff post campaign. They made a point of putting a second rocket in an unexplorable part of the map. As soon as that ruin get's exposed to the wider squid population its going to get turned into a giant turf war arena.
>>564409136>adding the old campaigns to replayBig missed opportunity desu, S1's campaign and challenges with the updated visuals of S3 would've been neat
>>564409136yes, the dlc cost money for the hubs and side order.
But will raiders feel bigger than, say, Splatoon 3s hero mode? Because that was definitely more effort than Splatoon 2s but it was only about as long as Octo Expansion. It should be meatier. I should be able to do all sorts of shit.
>>564409334Allegedly Tears of the Kingdom was what hogged up additional development support from various other games for 4 years just to more or less end up being a $70 BotW DLC
>>564409167You don't hate localizers enough, anon.
>>564409502it's definitely longer, the game filesize is bigger than both splatoon 3 and it's dlc combined by almost double
>hello we at nintendo will sell you two waves for 25 bucks, first wave will be minor and have a hub reskin and second wave will be a new campaign mode>wtf where's the third and fourth dlcs that you promised us through ink colors?
>>564409502It should be since its 20gb.>>564409561I wished they just had a separate team to handle animal crossing. Also more concerts, but we're never getting those back after the bomb scare.
>>564409662>>564409868Then it can't JUST be expanded Salmon Run, surely? Honestly that trailer didn't show a whole lot for a game thats supposed to be bigger than any other single player experience.
>>564409868they literally do have a seperate team to handle animal crossing, nintendo is a lot more flexible than you think.
>>564410031it's still 3 months out so they might be holding back at least a little
I will only buy your game if squid beatz 3 is in it
>>564409674people are stupid, more at 11
>>564410031I expect the structure is a large free form overworld with encampments of salmonoids placed around collectibles coupled with pocket dimension dungeons for more structured challenges.
I will only buy your game if I can fuck Shiver
>>564410031the map ui shows several islands obscured by clouds, and there's also a "dungeons menu" we know nothing aboutit's definitely more
>>564409868>file sizeIf it were 900p like 2 and 3 maybe that's a reasonable metric to compare, but it could just be 4k textures giving the bloat.
>>564410031well i think they'll release more as time goes on.
>>564410869Eh but that just looks like the Splatoon 2 and 3 zones you can squid jump to.
>>564410873>>564409868For some context that doesnt help at all. Mario kart world is 22 gb.Bananza is 8.
>>564409662Then why is it cheaper??????
>>564411186game length and price don't correlate
It is time, hero mode gremlins, to reveal ourselves and post our favourite trackshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7PlfZxQErE
>>564411186because it's just a single player campaign and not a live service online multiplayer game with a consistent update schedule?
>>564410873You're right. That is possible concern. Do you think it'll be at a higher res than ToK?

>>564409662A lot of that will just be higher quality assets, surely?

>>564411536>semanticsI suppose there is a non zero chance that you can trade weapons and treasures with other players. Would be kinda funny if it ends up being closer to diablo.
>>564411715I feel like these things were born if they cut their hair too short
>>564411536the most i could see raiders getting is additional story dlc, the online co-op aspect was so unimportant it wasn't even mentioned in the main trailer
>>564410798based?
>>564411635This, Tentakeel Outpost and Octo Valley make me feel.
if raiders doesn't have matchmaking i might not even buy it
No Sheldon no buy.
>>564411887>cut their hair at allI just noticed this myself but none of the octoling hairstyles have cuts. Lore wise most octarians are cut off tentacles.
>single player splatoon game where the enemies aren't octo troopers that fire one splat every 5 secondsthis is too difficult for me
