I'd personally like a Splatoon spinoff game. A rhythm game to be specific. Splatoon 2 has its rhythm minigame but it's barebones and lacks style. I want something more akin to Hatsune Miku or Persona rhythm games. Would be a perfect fit in my opinion.
@Ralizah Exactly what I thought, Splatoon 3 reveal either after the Splatoon 2 tournament on Saturday or during the E3 Direct.
I don't think there'll be a Splatoon 3 until Nintendo's next console launches. Even if they're not actively supporting the game any more, Splatoon 2 is the kind of game that can be played pretty much indefinitely so it would seem a bit redundant having another instalment on the same console unless it was drastically different. There's never been more than one new Mario Kart or Smash Bros game on a single console before after all.
Thank you Nintendo for giving us Donkey Kong Jr Math on Nintendo Music
@Dogorilla I just don't see them dropping support so soon unless something is releasing soon. Why would they? Splatfests are probably barely any work for them and they increase engagement with the game.
I gotta say, I'm glad I got this physically. If Splatoon 3 is, indeed, a Switch title, there will be precious little reason to hold on to Splatoon 2, as the sequel will draw away the majority of the playerbase. I just wish the Octo Expansion was its own app/game, as I wouldn't mind replaying that on occasion.
@Ralizah Well, every Splatfest in Splatoon 2 has its own version of Shifty Station, so designing and programming a new one of those every month probably takes a not insignificant amount of work. I guess if they wanted to keep doing more Splatfests they could just reuse existing Shifty Stations, but then they'd still have to do the art and dialogue for each Splatfest, which obviously isn't as much effort but still takes time. And I think when the game was first released they said that Splatfests would only continue for a year, but then that was increased to two years.

There's some sense in that, but... arguably part of the strategy behind the MK8D and Splatoon 2 releases, plus the other Wii U ports, is that they didn't require an abundance of new ideas and creativity, leaving any innovative ideas on the back-burner for a sequel.
I don't want a MK or Splatoon sequel any time soon, but there's room for them.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
@Ralizah It's not in the list in Europe either but the game's actual eShop page says it's included.
Used one on Mario Maker already. Next one is probably going to be for wither Fire Emblem or Astral Chain. And I guess I need more since I want at least Pokémon and Animal Crossing too. Great deal for someone like me who likes to go digital.
Hmm, the Switch probably won't get a port of Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2, but another Masquerade game was announced yesterday, coming to Switch no less. It's being developed by iFun4all, a company recently rebranded as Draw Distance. https://ifun4all.com/
