If we have to rescue the Elder Zapfish from Octavio one more time then I'm done. Shouldn't need paid DLC to give us an original story in the Splatoon universe.
@WoomyNNYes Yes. "Save the princess!" got boring very quick. I know story isn't a priority in most Nintendo games, but it wouldn't hurt to have some variety in storytelling to shake things up every now and then.
In the final Splatfest, Chaos vs Order, in which the winning team determined the direction of Splatoon 3, I really wanted Order to win. I loved the chrome robot theme gear that Order had, aka Eye of Justice(helmet).
@WoomyNNYes I really hope Pearl/Marina make a return in 3. The entire Final Fest was kind of themed around them and it would suck to not see them return in some form after it.

So, is Nintendo paying for the rights for Santa Cruz's Screaming Hand, by that artist?🤔😉 It was an iconic skate logo in the late 80s. This is more of a playful comment, but I know how hard core Nintendo is about protecting their IP, so here we are. It is a cool logo, though. It's inspired version in Splatoon 3 still looks cool. It can be seen on the Splatoon map, under the bridge at 3:09 in the video below, and at he end of the match in the victory banner at 3:29. It probably looks different enough in splatoon 3 to be ok. edit: Anyway, I love that Splatoon 3 has it.😁
The Japanese Splatoon 3 website seems to have been updated. It mostly has things that have already been in trailers, but there is some artwork I haven't seen elsewhere, as well as a section explaining the basic weapons that has a demonstration of the new Tri-Stringer! https://www.nintendo.co.jp/switch/av5ja/
NA region Switch eshop now has a Splatoon 3 place holder page. (maybe everyone's noticed by now) File size says 6.0 GB.
Splatoon 2 says 6.1 GB. Octo Expansion is 2.0 GB.
@GX_64 Oh, cool. Thanks for the heads up on the page that's gone live.
Here's a few clips embedded in the Nintend's Splatoon 3 page that GX_64 linked above, in case anyone wants to see some close up footage of the characters, weapons, new clothes. I don't know if these clips are new. Nothing crazy here, but it was new to me.
It's funny. After years of not playing Splatoon, the fun I had faded to distant memories. Rarely would I bring the game up, or mention it as one of my faves. But jumping back in, I was very quickly reminded just how inkredible this game is.
Easily one of my favorite games of all time. I lost my save data buying the OLED so I've been ranking up from scratch. Currently Level 6 and just obtained some 4 slot gear (hat, shirt and shoes) with mains I wanted. The hard part is lucking out on the subs.
It's a lot of work trying to get the perfect gear set. My amiibo has my old gear stored but won't load it unless I own those same gear pieces, irrespective of skills. Haven't run across any of them yet, though. Ah well.
Trying to play Salmon Run and Turf Wars now, saving the Octo Canyon and Octo Expansion for later, since, once Splatoon 3 releases, those modes will basically die in this game. Which means there's basically a 90 day window for Turf Wars and Salmon Run in Splatoon 2. The single player can be done anytime.
It gets me super excited for Splatoon 3 though. This game is going to be epic.

I don't think that's necessarily true; I booted up the original Splatoon at one point last year and I was still able to find a game easily. If people are still playing that I'm sure some people will keep playing Splatoon 2 once 3 comes out.
But yeah, this probably is a good time to play S2, it might feel a bit odd to go back to it after getting a feel for S3. I've been meaning to get back into it myself.

Keep in mind, the original is on a different system where some people may not have a Switch yet. And the remaining players had a high percentage of cheaters, so it's probably appealing for Wii U hackers. I used to get sooo frustrated with Splatoon 1 cheaters, oh my gosh. Invincible so all you could do was avoid them and try to paint around them.
But ya, there will be some players left, but i suspect it won't be enough to reliably get matches whenever you want. Certainly not like you can now.
Splatoon 2 is poppin though. I was surprised to see just how many ppl still play. Salmon Run is basically open 95% of the time now, with instant matches every time. Turf Wars usually matches within 60 seconds (there was one instance of timing out but that aside, every other time was a minute or less, often less).
But it's so good. Salmon Run is still as fun as ever. Turf Wars are a blast. It did match me against some people who were Level 60-90 who were Rank S or Rank X in the Ranked Mode, which as a Level 6 who never got past C Rank kind of felt unfair as they just dominated.
But its so fun. Just taking it easy, playing some Turf Wars and Salmon Run... ah. So fun.

A big hope of mine is that the idols of S3 are a 4-piece BTS-styled male quartet. Do I like BTS? No. Do I think the idea could work well in a Splatoon game whilst also being a shake-up from the traditionally female newscasters? ABSOLUTELY.
