Nintendo has revealed that Splatoon favourite Blackbelly Skatepark will be added to the stage roster in Splatoon 2 this weekend.
The stage will be added to the rotation on Saturday, which means you can get all nostalgic about one of the first game's most iconic levels.
Are you happy to see Blackbelly return to the game, or were you hoping for another level?

Woohoo! Can't wait for Tower Control, it's so fun here!
If it can't be accessed via a flying hat with a moustachioed plumber, I won't be visiting it this weekend.
Um ... they do realize a large number of the Switch‘s player base will play Odyssey this weekend, right? Certainly not all but still a large majority. Other than that, I will certainly check it out. Never‘ve been one of my faves but I have fond memories of this map.
I hasten to add that it's nice to see this level added back though. A favourite from the first game to be sure.
Yay! Now Flounder Heights and Camp Triggerfish, please.
Ehh... I can't help but feel that, given the selection we already have, Blackbelly isn't really adding much to the game. Like, there's nothing all that special about it.
Awesome! I loved all the original maps, I would tell you my favorites, but I forgot the names.
But but but, Mario Odyssey! And Fire Emblem Warriors! And Stardew Valley! And Golf Story! And Mario Kart, And Minecraft Story Mode, and Sonic Mania and... I should just take a week off of work to get caught up on this backlog...
Not the best timing but any new stage is welcome.
It was never my favorite stage. I'm pretty neutral about it. Wish they would add Flounder Heights and Camp Triggerfish. Those were my favorites.
One of my top5 favourites from the original. Gonna give it a try.
YES! This was one of my favorite stages in the first game. Can't wait!
@abbyhitter
Huh, interesting. Blackbelly was one of my favorites, and Camp Triggerfish/Flounder Heights were my least favorites. Different strokes for different folks.
I was going to write that it's my favorite stage but now I can't decide if it is or not (competing with Saltspray Rig) but I'm glad to see it in Splatoon 2 either way.
They ought to just bring over all Splatoon stages to Splatoon 2. Make a great game better with classic arenas to splat it out in
I personally can't stand the stages with sloped terrain. It makes covering ground difficult, and in Blackbelly Skatepark, some of the slopes become completely vertical, making traversing the stage a drag, especially for rollers. I would've preferred better stages from Splatoon 1.
I want Saltspray Rigs. It's my favorite stage.
Great. Even with Oddyssey and everything else out/coming out, Splatoon is ALWAYS a game that is welcome a play at any time, whether it's just a half hour or so, or whether the cartridge ends up staying in there for a fortnight.
Not expecting this but loved this level in the original. Hope that in the future the camp, resort and museum come back from the original
This was one of my favorites in the original, glad They're bringing it back.
Nice! but I'll be playing Mario Odyssey!
Love the skatepark. Once got 20+ kills there before they nerfed the kraken. Good times.
So if walls don't count as painted terrain, at what point does a skate slope go from being floor to being wall?
I love that level. I'll probably check it out at some point this weekend if my sons steel my copy of Mario.
The only thing I don't like about this stage is how easy it is to be spawn camped. Aside from that I love the layout of the stage.
Cool...like it matters...
I could see you passing on Odyssey if you don't have a Switch, but otherwise you should be playing that game! (Realistically, I know, kids have to wait for their parents to buy them the game so that also makes sense)
Now where's the Walleye Warehouse?
Was hoping for Arowana mall...
Awesome! The more stages, the better! Still hoping for Camp Triggerfish to make a return... it's my all-time favorite stage!
@Fake-E-Lee You and me both
@GoldenGamer88 I believe that's why this weekend is the perfect time to try the stage without receiving a ton of complaints about minor things to be fixed - if there is something to fix. Might be wrong tho.
Still waiting on Mahi Mahi Resort.
Rainmaker matches on this stage can finished in like half the time of the Switch's video capture haha
I'm happy that the map sel3ction is getting bigger and that they're continuing to reintroduce the old maps.
However, I'm not excited because Vlackbelly Skatepark isn't one of my favourites.
Still, I wasn't exactly hoping for a different map because the new Blackbelly Skatepark was already leaked recently.
One of my favorites from the 1st game (Saltspray Rig being my fav). Hope I find time in between Odyssey sessions xD
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!
@Pod , yeah I want to know too.
Favorite stage along with Walleye Warehouse.
Might actually take me away from Mario for a few minutes!
Hopefully they fixed the lag on this stage. I don't know why, but for some reason this stage was always laggy. (For me anyway, I guess, I don't see anyone else complaining)
Currently attempting to max out my money in splatoon 2. At $4000000 and change currently and ive been building up my grizzco bonus. My team Record for salmon run is 89 eggs. Has anyone hit 100??
Can't wait! I hope that they bring back more old stages.
Nice! Inking it old school Splatoon. Love this game.
Yay!
