What are your thoughts on the "Little buddy"?

ill be making a salmonid support thread after we get the ocotlings in

 

[Rie Sonomura]

yup, im feeling it

octoling will be in this pass and include octo expansion music and, if there's a splatoon 3 demo before e3, early splat 3 music

 

[fogbadge]

well at least we'll have plenty to talk about

 

[Mushroomguy12]

Nintendo of America Twitter Page has an official Splatoon 3 themed icon and header!

YO THIS IS HYPE

More news!

There was a problem fetching the tweet

We’ve learned that Splatsville is located in a broader region called the Splatlands. It seems the intense sun and harsh environment have had a profound effect on its inhabitants. In recent years, trendsetting Inklings have been drawn to this culture like moths to a Bunsen burner! pic.twitter.com/NgChjFFMhl

In the Splatlands, Inklings seem to favor entering the battlefield by launching themselves out of some sort of midair spawner drone. It appears they can even choose their landing spot before flying into action! pic.twitter.com/ISsBcDl5nH

We’ve also discovered a new weapon with a shape like a bow. It looks a bit primitive at first glance, but on closer inspection, it’s packed with technology, including a mechanism capable of launching three strings of ink simultaneously! pic.twitter.com/u2pOjLwqgt

Classic main weapons appear viable in the Splatlands, although their appearance seems evolved to suit this unique culture. The .96 Gal and Range Blaster look markedly different than we’re used to, which will seemingly make them stand out more from other weapons of the same type. pic.twitter.com/bdDGpdNp2C

ok but the real question

whos the idol duo?

the post apocalyptic world would be PERFECT for a pair of male Octoling rockers just saying

 

[GolisoPower]

Say, I can't help but wonder if Splatoon 3's gonna have its own BR mode or something. I mean, the way they drop into the arena in that Turf War looks an awful lot like how you'd do it in a battle royale...or maybe it's just to keep up with the post-apocalyptic aesthetic of it all.

Oh geez....

"HEY, MARIE, WANNA SEE ME SUPLEX THIS BIG TOWER?!"

 

[Rie Sonomura]

but i also think yall know what else is an inevitability

Evil Marina. y'all ain't ready

 

[zumaddy]

Its been obvious for a while now, but I love when Splatoon is treated like one of Nintendo's biggest draws. I remember being hooked on the original Wii U testfire (splatatatata-splatoon!) and to see it become one of the big boys warms my heart.

 

[ZealousGamer]

I want to see male Idols this time. Rockers would fit nicely.

I just had a thought; what Agent number do you think this Inkling will have?

 

[Paraster]

I could see them not being an Agent at all. We're outside of Inkopolis, the world is different, it might be time for something new.

Pleeeasse let one of the idols/presenters be a male octoling with the big new swirly hairdo in a rocker outfit. That would be amazing.

 

[ZealousGamer]

Do you think that Mr. Grizz will get more involved in the Story or do you think he'll be just there for more Salmon Runs?

Do you think it will be possible that we could get Salmonlings?

Riding on the bus.

Fan art already? That was fast. (Also it was a train not a bus.)

Since Inkling Girl's hair here is Yellow; I'd say Inkling Boy's hair will be Purple.

Don't underestimate us.

the whole series is post apocalyptic

 

[MiniGeek2000]

One thing I hope doesn't happen is for Octoling to be a Mii Costume because of Pyra and Mythra releasing this March.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

the whole series is post apocalyptic

Well technically yes, but given this one’s Mad Max aesthetic....

 

[fogbadge]

never seen mad max but i assume we're mostly missing the cars

based off the references to mad max in moana and gravity falls

1st. Does it play in a diffrent time or in a diffrent Place i mean Japan becomming a Dessert seems Unlikely

I did thought of it aswell yeah seems most likely

 

[LAA9000]

As expected, this thread is basically a Splatoon 3 hype thread right now. I'm as hyped as you all are.

Just be ready to accept that the next year will probably be spent analysing this one trailer as we might not get more news for a long time.

Additionally, I now believe the infamous 'SAVE OUR SALMONS' New Year's 2020 official artwork was, in fact, teasing a Splatoon 3 reveal later that year, but it got delayed due to COVID-19.

Calling it now, the storyline will be Marina working with Mr. Grizz to harvest the Salmonids, maybe Marina’s being brainwashed by Mr. Grizz and we gotta save her and the Salmonids

I hate for them just to rehash stuff from last time

 

[LAA9000]

Remembered to check SquidBoards after the announcement and... not even a new mainline game can get that site active again. It's kinda sad when you look at it.

 

[fogbadge]

Anyone else getting more hyped the more they think about it?

 

[Mushroomguy12]

It was inevitable.

Society if order won:

Probably something cyberpunk-esque, with a bunch of metal and neon lights everywhere. If the Splatoon 3 we got is putting its stages in "nature," I think an Order version would emphasize cities, high-tech facilities, and industrial areas.
...more than Splatoon 1 and 2 already did, that is.

That actually sounds pretty cool

On the one hand, I would love to see how they'd so Cyberpunk Splatoon...
...but on the other hand, I think Chaos winning was for the best since it seems like it'll be more distinct and different from classic Splatoon than Order would have been.

 

[Staarih]

Anyone else getting more hyped the more they think about it?

Yeah. The reveal of Splatoon 3 took me totally off guard last night, but now that I've digested it, I really can't wait.

Also, I'm already digging the new look of the "default/postergirl" Inkling:
