Topic: Splatoon 4- Hopes, Theories and Predictions

@MrCarlos46 @Xenoblade-Fan @Dev1024 Honestly? I really do not want to see any old faces in the next game. S3 is "the end of the splatastic saga," and making reference to old characters outside of something like Sunken Scrolls is something I don't want. Because if we can get Deep Cut DLC and OtH DLC, then why not have the main story be about the Squid Sisters again? And why not bring back every villain? And why not do XYZ nostalgia-pandering thing? It simply opens the floodgates, and as sad as I am by the lack of Deep Cut anything in their own game (especially Frye 😉), I am worried that if the next game doesn't give us something totally new then this series may struggle.

@CaleBoi25 True

@CaleBoi25 team past won though…

@Xenoblade-Fan yes, but Chaos won, and did they make the game all about insanity? No, they based it on PEARL'S VERSION of chaos, which is simply change. So I think S4 will look at the SISTERS' IDEA of the past, which is not just history but the events in history that brought us where we are. Not trying to recreate the past, but rather be thankful for and learn from it.

@CaleBoi25 Like everything that got us to current day events?

@MrCarlos46 Pretty much, yeah. I believe CosmicCloud made a vid that sums up my thoughts pretty well, I can link that if you folks would like.

It's crack theory time!
Make the most ridiculous theory you can!!!

In Splatoon 4 Marina gets kidnapped by octavio who we learn is actually her grandpa making her and the squid sisters cousins and Big man was just a mass hallucination by all of us bc we're so desperate for more male characters

@Gamergirl4 Splatoon has actually been a reskin of Hollowknight Silksong this whole time.

@Gamergirl4
My crack theory
There are actually good kits for all weapons and the game is balanced on launch

@Xenoblade-Fan Nah, that will never happen 😂

@SlamDunk22 One can only hope

@Gamergirl4 Humans still exist and live in the sky

@Xenoblade-fan And hope I will 🙏

@Potato-man Splatoon and skyward sword crossover

What would you think about mouse controls for Splatoon 4

@Dev-N I hope it’s revealed on the 10th anniversary of S1

@Dev-N The Mario Splatfest might come in March this time, because back then they had to start the 35th anniversary celebration in September due to the pandemic.

Anyone wanna hear my theory about how I think Marina and Acht are related? Most likely sisters?

Sure, go for it

Coming back to this, I said March because that’s when Mario’s 40th anniversary is. The Mario Splatfest in 2021 happened on January during the Mario 35th campaign.

And then there are 2 anniversaries related to Splatoon this year: One for Splatoon 3 in September, and then one in May for the franchise as a whole. Not sure which one out of two they want to do, but if they want to make a while Splatoon 10th anniversary campaign, it would have to start sometime this year, especially if it includes a Splatfest to go with it.
