Topic: Splatoon 3

@Budda THEY'RE JUST GOING TO CASUALLY ANNOUNCE OFF THE HOOK LIKE THAT HCSYIBHJKCHKJSVFJDHBSD

I wonder who's going to be the new hosts. Marina & Pearl are too busy with their band to do it now.

@MsJubilee I think it is likely to be new characters, but they might surprise us and it is an existing band/ members from an existing band that got more successful.

Mincemeat Metalworks
The level designs look really great so far!

@Budda It looks great. It is cool that half of the stage is under the building and the other half isn't. I don't think Splatoon 2 had any stages like that. I like that the stage has a bit of story about the sea evaporating (that is probably why there are the ships there).

The new stage being a metalworks made from scrap metal is also somewhat interesting since the player character "earns a living salvaging scrap"

@Budda That's so over-the-top edgy..... I love it.

@Budda Yet another awesome stage design!

I'm into it! Looks awesome. ....now we're starting to see some more impressive stuff.

Wondering when & if there's going to be a global testfire soon (july perhaps).

@WoomyNNYes
I expect a Splatoon Direct early to mid August followed by a testfire late August, or even September. The testfire will probably be about a week before the full game releases. Like with Splatoon 2' Splatfest testfire or Mario Strikers First Kick.

Dutch action...

Well he certainly took his time to show up.

Also, I'm not sure whether this was previously confirmed or not, but this confirms that the .96 Gal is back as well! It was most likely confirmed due to them saying every basic main weapon was returning but it's still cool to see (even if I can't stand the weapon myself).

@Fizza did you know that in splatoon (a nintendo game) a shirt says f___ in the squid language.

I hope that shirt returns so I can pair it with my 69 shoes, lol. (in all honesty it's kinda funny a E10 rated game has more hidden curse words then a T game)

I can't wait to play Splatoon 3, I skipped 2. So this will be fresh for me.

It really is amazing how much Nintendo's resources are poured into their huge, detail-laden official Splatoon 3 webpage.... for japanese language only. I mean, there's so much creative artwork and formatting effects poured into it. It's an amazing page. Is the english Splatoon market dwarfed that much by the japanese market to justify this? (I'm guessing they did the same thing with Splatoon 2)(The intent here, is not to troll. I'm just amazed.)

Splatoon 3 offical japanese webpage:

And this quiz page. These are serious webpages.(that's how it looks to me, but I don't make webpages.)

@WoomyNNYes
Don't know if this is true because I used google translation, but is there a Splatoon 3 tournament???
The part below the OLED Switch.

@Budda Those Splatoon 3 tournaments are dated for October 8 and 9.

They display the date as 10.8 and 10.9.

@Budda or anyone else, the real question is, how can I lift that animated Splatoon 3 tv screen background behind the OLED, Nintendo Live section? 🤔😁 (I want that gif for my NL page XD )

NM it's an mp4. but my tablet can make a gif of it.😁

EDIT: Ehh, maybe it's not as cool as my existing MK8 screenshot.

@WoomyNNYes
I noticed that right after I pushed the post button. Would have been weird deleting the post again. 😅

@WoomyNNYes The Japanese Splatoon 3 site is awesome! Have you seen Splatoon Base? https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/splatoon/en/ It is a website summarising the story of the first 2 games. It has been translated into English, although it has a few errors. There are some interesting things in the character section

I think I’m going to pre order it off of Walmart, the bonus is actually good.
