Topic: Splatoon 3

@Dev-N The one with Pearl was SOOOOO good too, she looks squishy in it, I actually still have it as my Switch pfp.

Ngl they should’ve made backgrounds for the set.

Or better yet, Nintendo should start letting us mix and match icon elements from different categories so we could also do our own combos.

Shameless promotion of this video I made lol:

@CaleBoi25 Need them to do a Hot Dog Contest

@CaleBoi25, I never knew you had a YouTube channel! I'll have to check it out a bit later. I thought the video was funny as well.

I also have a channel (called Nep-Nep-Freak 🤣), I just haven't uploaded any videos yet since my family has too many opportunities to get in the way of any potential recording while I'm still living at my family's house, I'm still quite busy with school, and I have no clue how to do video editing, like, at all 🤣.

@MrCarlos46 with Judd officiating, of course

@Nep-Nep-Freak yeah, I'm working on a few big projects right now, with these random shorts in between lol

I don't have the game. I'm too broke & I quit my NSO membership months ago:(

If you mean you don't have Splatoon 3, I'm assuming you've seen it will be 50% ($30) off for black friday.👌(As early as Nov 23) https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2025/11/nintendos-black-fri...

edit: Also, welcome to nintendolife!

This line hits harder once you realize Side Order is practically Off the Hook’s sendoff

@MrCarlos46 ...hopefully, that is. Not that I dislike them, but I'm hoping S4 moves away from everything we know currently and gives us a new location!

@CaleBoi25 Pretty sure they won’t be using the Squid Sisters and Off the Hook again now with their stories wrapped up after this trilogy.

Deep Cut, they’ll probably come back in Splatoon 4 after Raiders, maybe we’ll see them interact with the new idols…

@Dev-N I actually meant to write Splatoon 4 in the original comment, I edited it after finding out.

@Dev-N Thanks for the heads up for the gold rotation.

I can never get past VP 200 or low 300s playing solo. Although, if there's a time to try, it's in the first few hours when the rotation starts, when most tryhards are on.

@Dev-N I actually thought there would be another Big Run during December too, and it’s happening on the weekend it’s my birthday

Got a gold decoration this Big Run, can’t recall if I got other gold decorations from many previous Big Runs tho

Now to wait for FrostyFest in January, or a possible Animal Crossing fest (if that Splatfest terminal decoration is anything to go by)

@Dev-N I guess this means an Animal Crossing Splatfest is out of the picture

@Dev-N Cuz the way the items were there would’ve probably been something like

What is your favorite hobby?

Catch Bugs vs. Go Fish vs. Grow a Garden

Realistically they probably always wanted it to just be a decoration and needed some icons to add to it even though they never actually plan to have an Animal Crossing fest

Imma guess we’re not getting a Mario fest either this time around even though it’s the 40th anniversary

@Dev-N I very much don't see a Switch 2 edition happening, but I suppose it's possible. That said, I am as close to 100% sure as possible (for someone who literally cannot know this sort of thing) that it's not S3 DLC. Here's my reasoning:
1. There's a lot of debate about this, but most folks in the wider Splatoon community agree that Raider was probably set to be part of the Expansion Pass before delays to Side Order/the general size of it prevented that. Thus, it became its own thing.
2. It was already announced as a spinoff. Changing it into an S2E DLC (like "Splatoon 3: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Splatoon Raiders") would not only contradict that, but also cause general confusing/anger around the already-touchy topic of DLC and S2Es.

@Dev-N @CaleBoi25 PEGI listings in the way shown there have meant both update patches and Switch 2 Editions in the past (e.g. Mario Odyssey has a Switch 2 release date of June 5th but was a free update meanwhile Prime 4 has a Switch 2 release date of December 4th but was a Switch 2 Edition).

My guess is that they're doing another free content update for Splatoon 3 like the one in June. Another map, more kits, etc.

@Dev-N No but the other June free update games have a Switch 2 listing with the release date of the free update.

@Dev-N Unlikely, otherwise it would’ve gotten a separate listing.

This probably has to do with the free update the game got back in June but they never added the rating for
