Escape to the Surface, Octolings for Smash + splatoon 3 discussion

[Mushroomguy12]

Hey guys I came across a video that talks about a potential FP3 or something similar after FP2 I thought I would share it with you and see your opinions. The video provides more explanation than I can myself so I don't write an essay for a reply. This video is for if Octoling isn't going to be in FP2.

With the fiscal year ending soon and hopefully the pandemic starting to be controlled again, Nintendo will have to announce new plans

and they can’t rely on ports forever but at the very least, give me Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition so they’d need to show off new stuff

I feel very confident something Splatoon related (although not Splatoon 3 as of yet) is one of those things

I dunno I only really know what’s happening in the uk

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Oh ALSO have you seen this

[Switch Online]

Nintendo is replacing its multiplayer server system, NEX (used in most, if not all of their online games since 3DS/Wii U), with a new system called NPLN.

The Monster Hunter Rise demo was the very first game to use this in public.

Think this could improve Splatoon2 matchmaking and not make Splatfests... LAGfests?

 

[MiniGeek2000]

Yep I've seen it. An 18 year old system being changed into a new one. Also Smash Bros needs it.

Hi there I found these today. I thought it would be cool to share this to you.
Smash Bros Main Test (Something for fun)
Love Test (With Smash Bros characters) (I thought I would share this one since Valentine's day is this Sunday).
Would like to see what you got.
Can't put the images up but for Smash Main Test I first got Lucas then tried again because of uncertain answers and I got Ness so yeah pretty much the same thing. For Love Test I got Palutena.

Not that I’m counting on Octoling unless they announce pass 3 by a miracle but. Here’s hoping

 

[fogbadge]

i think our best bet for spaltoon is a tie to one of the anniversaries

myabe a spin off

 

[Rie Sonomura]

At the very least I do hope for a tease of a Splatoon related project this direct

 

[Michael the Spikester]

At the chance we do potentially get an Echo Pack announced tonight, I can see Octoling as an example of being the first announced as Inkling was in the beginning of all of this. Especially given Splatoon's increasing popularity and Nintendo's "newest" IPs which will go down as iconic and recognizable to modern gamers and new generation.

 

[zumaddy]

I'd flip out if a Splatoon spin-off was announced tomorrow, especially if it featured Octarians/Octolings and Salmonids.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

THERE IS A SPLATOON SPINOFF!!!

wait no

SPLATOON 3!!!!!!

 

[Paraster]

AND THERE'S A BOW

 

[Mushroomguy12]

Splatoon 3!

 

[TheTuninator]

Heyo, Splatoon 3! Whaddya know. I was already very confident about more Splatoon reps, but now I'm even more so. It's underrepresented as heck!

 

[Rie Sonomura]

OH THEY HAVE TO INCLUDE OCTOLING IN SMASH NOW

with two of my MWs, KOS-MOS and Elma, possibly out of the running I need this at least

 

[Staarih]

Wow, wasn't expecting a full-on sequel this soon. Or "soon", when it's coming in 2022. But amazing, Splatoon keeps on delivering.

 

[Clumsyzephyr]

I was literally just playing Splatoon 2 right before this direct too

 

[TheTuninator]

It makes a lot of sense! Splatoon is playing with the big boys now in terms of Nintendo IPs. Which is why I'm always surprised at how many folks totally underweigh Splatoon in roster speculation! One rep isn't nearly enough for a first-party series this big.

 

[fogbadge]

i cant wait to jump back into the world of splatoon and become completely furious when i lose badly

something ominous about the eifile tower like that

 

[Mushroomguy12]

Waiting for 2022 right now.

 

[Staarih]

The environment looks pretty destroyed, I wonder if TeamChaos winning in Splatoon 2's Final Fest had an impact after all...

 

[ZealousGamer]

Splatoon 3! I was very surprised by that!

The Post-Apocalyptic theme was also a bit surprising! Now I want to see what the World would have looked like if Team Order (My team) had won!

Better than Order... everyone woulda been mindless slaves

 

[Mushroomguy12]

Chad Splatoon flexing over Mario Kart by getting 2 main series titles on a single system in only 6 years of the series existence versus almost 30 years.

"in the wake of chaos", I see:

#Splatoon3 arrives on #NintendoSwitch in 2022! In the wake of chaos, enter the sun scorched Splatlands and the new city, Splatsville, inhabited by battle-hardened Inklings & Octolings. New weapons, moves, and more await, so be sure to keep an eye out for updates in the future. pic.twitter.com/Q0g6qbZBs5

[zumaddy]

Woohoo I got my wish for Salmonids appearing, but it's no spin-off it's the real deal! Heck yeah! Did anyone spot any Octarians in the trailer? ( I only got the one glance)

 

[Megadoomer]

Splatoon 3! I was very surprised by that!

The Post-Apocalyptic theme was also a bit surprising! Now I want to see what the World would have looked like if Team Order (My team) had won!

I'm guessing it would be a Terminator apocalypse (or at least some kind of shiny robot-based apocalypse) as opposed to a Mad Max apocalypse.

There had better be a guitar that doubles as a flamethrower. (Inkthrower?)

Me and the squad heading to the Splatlands Splatfest zone like

 

[DelphoxFan97]

I still think the recent Splatfest was stolen, and Team Star deserved the win, but it's great to see Splatoon 3 is finally on the horizon. Hopefully, Splatfests will get a serious overhaul to make them more interesting. The Squid Jump game and the others must return. Some people, including myself, want the enemy Octoling to be playable, while some begged to disagree. Could we finally get male enemy Octolings as well? All Ranked Battle types should be available 24/7. There's a lot of potential for this game.
