New Splatoon Secret Project Is Set To "Shock The World" Just Days Before E3

"Shock the world"...Y'all know what this means, right?

A new cosmetic store in Splatoon 2 for sunglasses

F2P mode

My thoughts are that this will be some kind of Splatoon styled laser tag. It would be even better if they managed to sneak it over to E3 and have it available for the press and public to play (or demo if it isn't that far along)

It would go perfectly in Universal Studios Theme Parks.

Doubt it's a sequel. Maybe some sort of changes/additions for the competitive scene or the announcement of a new Expansion Pack.

Very exciting news. It's too soon for a sequel though, especially with the octo expansion.

Probably an anime or something like that.

Its probably a new mode! Whatever it is, as long as its for Splatoon 2, I'm game.

Maybe real life Inklings have been discovered!

Turns out DJ Octavio was the good guy all along?

It's probably just the Octo Expansion release date, with the "shock" factor coming from a same day release.

Splatoon cardboard

Splatoon RPG that covers the years the squiddies wiped out humanity. Rise of the Squiddies

Honestly? As mush as I'd love to see a new game mode added, I would really like to see the Splatoon IP grow a little.
I'm down for a 3DS sidescroller/platformer. Maybe a rhythm game staring Pearl & Marina for mobile? The series is far more fresh than anything else Nintendo has at the moment, and there's so many directions you can take.

We don't need sensible ideas like a Splatoon Battle Royale. We need crazy ideas with just enough logic to work.
We need an Animal Crossing Battle Royale where Tom Nook is draining all your bells from your account so you need to rush around and find things to sell to to shops, all while Tom Nook is using the money he gains to buy out the shops and close them down.

Whatever this announcement is, I'm sure it'll be good.

Hmmmmm the wording of that is really trying to hype whatever it is up. Can’t see it being that shocking. Mobile version?

Several people have suggested a Battle Royale mode... how would that even work in a turf control game like Splatoon?

@Mathias_Wolfbrok

I bet you're right. As much as I'd love to guess at what it could be, dropping the Octo Expansion is far more likely than anything else.

@Desrever I dunno, I think it's good for a game to know what its core is and not dilute too much. Especially with just two entries in the franchise so far.
We don't need Super Splatoon Bake-Off! just yet.

@BonafideInfidel First team to 50 splats wins?

@ThatNyteDaez Thats team deathmatch. Fundamentally - turf control does not work if there are too many teams - what you get is complete chaos.

Maybe the Off the Hook amiibo are related to this announcement?

@Maxz That would indeed shock the world!

"Shock the world" seems a bit dramatic. I doubt it will be a huge announcement if they're doing this before E3.

Splatoon 2 going multi-platform would really shock everyone. Not that I'm bothered.

Splatoon Legends for 3DS!

I know this is a long shot... but this may be that they are crossing over splatoon to splatoon 2

I have an inkrection just thinking about this.

Too much?

I don't really know anything they could reveal for Splatoon that would shock the world. Fun as Splatoon is, I don't think it's quite big enough to get any world-shocking reveals. We'll see though, I guess!

@Shiryu - Cue Stevie Ray laughter, JJ Dillon desperately trying to corral the situation and keep everyone in character, and Sid Vicious screaming, “I don’t care what you are, new Splatoon secret project!!!”

Being able to play online without a subscription!

That much hyperbole is going to take some living up to.

cough zapfish cough shocking cough

i hope it's not salmon run hero mode, becuse i've been working on a concept for the past 3 months

That hyperbole, you sure you have the goods to back it up, Ninny?

Cya
Raziel-chan

Splatoon anime simulcast on Netflix, coincides with Netflix coming to Switch.

They've patched out the Flyfish.

@Grumblevolcano "Splatoon Legends"

Is that a 2D platformer like ChibiRobo, Hey! Pikmin or that Sayonara series w/ the girl? I could actually see that working. Actually I could even see a 3D platfromer like Ratchet & Clank w/ all the weapons they have at their disposal. Though not on 3DS, on Switch. "God of Splatoon".

@Octane I was thinking "Saturday morning cartoon" while reading the article but since those don't exist anymore anime is probably a better guess.

@Preposterous That's actually pretty good. I would change "simulcast" to "exclusively" but I like it. Feels like Netflix isn't coming to Switch though, which is kind of a bummer. But if it does come, hopefully they don't pull an Xbox360 and put it behind the online paywall. Hopefully that's not why they are waiting for streaming on Switch, they are going to lock it all behind Nintendo Online.

oh wait, octo-amiibo

Splatoon the dating game: guest staring Troy Maclure.

SHOCK the world...maybe it's a new competitive mode to do with the Zapfish?

I don’t know why, I’m thinking Splatoon VR but have no idea how that would work 😅

Calling it now. Spin off skateboarding game! (Yeah, no... that isn't happening).

I'd love to see their spin on a battle royale.

(My true hope is for an official apparel/clothing/shoe line. I need me so more real gold hi-horses!)

For some strange reason I feel like it’s going to be a singleplayer/co-op focused role playing shooter. (Borderlands, fallout)
Can’t explain why.

Maybe the wording "shock the world" is very specific. Perhaps it has something to do with the Great Zapfish?

It could be a world tour of the Squid Sisters/Off the Hook concerts. That would explain why they said 'shock the world'.

I can't see them announcing Splatoon 3 before the Splatoon 2 expansion is even out. So a new mode seems like a good possibility.

A spin off title might be interesting too. Splatoon platformer? Splatoon RPG? Splatoon dating sim? XD

Maybe A Splatoon Game For Mobile Phones Or 3ds!

@StuTwo If anyone doesn't pick Marie I'm going to go all Reggie on those fools.

Hey Splatoon for 3DS.

The rage will be glorious but I actually liked Hey Pikmin....

Splatoon Headset with mic which can be synced with your Switch without the need for the Splatoon app on your phone.

inb4 Splatoon Legends actually happens
Seems like a Nintendo thing to do these days

Shock the World you say?

Electric ink

@rjejr If it's big news and directly related to the game, they want to show it off at E3, that's why I think it's something different altogether.

They are going to lock you out of online battles unless you purchase the DLC.
They said they were going to shock us not that it was going to be good. 😉

@Desrever

Fully agree but think a rhythm game like say hatsune miku would be the more interesting in my opinion

I think it's far, far too early for a sequel. The game isn't even a year old, not to mention that it's a rock star seller. In Japan, it's rarely dipped out of the top 5. I think it's new modes/stages/gear etc.

If it was in Jump it's probably a Splatoon manga or anime. If it was game related they could've done it at E3.

If it's going to "shock the world" it probably isn't any game add on.

Maybe that virtual singing thing is going to tour around the world.

I would be happy with anything except Splatoon 3. That would be a terrible announcement.

Shocking? Probably something to do with the Great Zapfish.

more expansion to the single-player?
(other then octo expansion.)

Would like to see battle royal mode. Would be nice.

Anything Splatoon 2 related is ok with me, even though the game already has more than enough content I will take as much as they can give. This game is really turning into one of the best shooters ever made and whatever this is plus the Octo Expansion only solidifies that!

@Octane Maybe a chain of "Splatoon Sushi" restaurants? If that isnt' already a thing in Japan. Probably is.

And yes, whatever it is, it isn't game related or it would be at E3 during the tournament.

New Co-OP modes would be great!

Shock za warudo

If it is Splatoon 3, I don't think it would necessarily be a bad thing. Unless we're talking about Splatoon 3 coming this fall or holiday season. If it's remarkably different than 2 and its quite a ways off, there's nothing necessarily wrong in teasing it.

But knowing Nintendo's history in trying to get the most out of its current release, I suspect it might be some kind of new mode or even a 3DS version

I'd like a rhythm game since Splatoon has great music. Won't happen, though.

A battle royal mode would be interesting! Maybe have where it is free for all and only a few number of players, like Darwin's Project.... That would work more with Splatoon.
Or even a Splatoon with a franchise cross over.

@extrantaves you need some covonia

I would love to see a single player mode against the Salmonid Scourge. The Salmonids are invading and all Octarians and Squids unite to stop it!

@Shiryu Shockmaster for life!

This just in: They're Adding Pikachu as a Playable Character. More at 11.

I could see a side scroller or rhythm game spin-off happening. A racing game based around ink/colors could be interesting. Excited to see what it turns out to be (but it’ll probably be an anime or manga).

I really need to stop playing Splatoon, adding even more stuff doesn't really help!

I dunno, would it really be that big of a hing before the Octo Expansion came out?

I'm guessing a cameo in that, or a crossover with another series....

@bimmy-lee @Shiryu

Don't forget Davey Boy Smith muttering to himself in disbelief, "He fell flat on his arse!"

Metroid Prime 4 : Inklings of destruction

My Guess : Super Splatoon Kart !

@SpeedRunRocks - Huge missed opportunity on my end. That’s the funniest part of the entire scene aside from Tugboat on his hands & knees trying to put his bedazzled Storm Trooper helmet back on as fast & clumsily as possible. Titus World Slide was amazing, but Fred Ottman is still the heavyweight champ of hilarious rasslin misfortune.

Please be a platformer!

PLEASE BE A SPLATFORMER

Other media. animation perhaps

My prediction . . . Movie

Live action (effects with a mix of real world and GCI).

Directed by Michel Gondry.

Scratch Gondry - Luc Besson!

I look forward to players disconnecting every match and being down 4 v 3/2

I'm calling it. Nintendo made real inklings and octolings. Available for purchase after E3. You raise them, nurture them, then release them...to fight for glory and honor in a real arena where there can only be one winner! Ha...hahahahahahahahahah!

New cross play with Xbox gamers? That would shock me.

Probably an anime project. They wouldn't want to distract from the new expansion before it even comes out so I'm sure this is not game-related.

A Battle Royale would work if they themed it after the Great Turf War between the Octarians and the Inklings hinted at in the lore, or maybe a 4-team match on a big stage with four opposing colors. I think I heard somewhere that they only do things in Splatoon to further the world's development, so the first option would be more likely Royale-wise.

With Crazy Justice already confirmed and the possibility of Splatoon 2 getting a Battle royal mode and Black Ops 4 Battle Royal (maybe) coming to Switch, I think Fortnight might just be dead in the water if/when it hits the Switch.

Splatoon 3: Electric Bogaloo

@TJM Nah it'll be Michael Bay

This has to be something playable at the World Championships, or something not videogame related. If this was another expansion pack, for example, it would be shown off at E3.

Im betting this isnt even gaming related. With Octo expansion out this summer a new mode or additinnal content beyond that seem redundant. Splatoon anime all the way!! The manga already exists...just a matter of time.

I could totally see an anime (there's already a manga) but my heart of hearts would be down for something new built off of Splatoon.

Given Splatoon style you wouldn't even need huge numbers: maybe 6 or so teams in a big round area. Instead of being fixed (read: containable) team bases would be hovering pads rotating over the field, but you have to jump down to ink anything. After x-minutes, either the least successful teams or players who were splatted too often are knocked out; survivors are given 30 seconds to change up their gear before being shipped to a smaller location; fewer teams reassigned; rinse-repeat until it's one turf war between two teams.

If it is a Battle Royal, maybe as the area of the map shrinks the teams with the least of amount of ink coverage get knocked off - maybe you maintain an area as it shrinks and team after team counts down to 2. That could actually be a lot of fun.

@P1X3L I very much doubt that Ninty would do that to Splatoon - introduce straight up deathmatch - just for the sake of turning it into a royale mode.

@SharkAttackU ive been working on what something like that would be

Could Nintendo even make a 100-P battle royale mode work? Splatoon maps are pretty small.

@Koudai1979 I'm definitely hoping for something a little weirder - in keeping with Splatoon - it's pretty nuts!

How about a dash of the rubber costumes from those mad as hell baddies in PowerRangers! A sort of clash between live action, messed up prosthetic madness and cutting edge digital effects - with real INK!

Have to say I think I'm onto something here!

Splatoon attraction @ Universal Studios?

Pearl and Marina are actually lesbians. That's the announcement, guys.

I admit that the Battle Royale mode idea was initially super appealing, but after giving it some thought, I just don't know how they could make it really work. The maps would have to be inkredibly huge, and with 100 players (or even 50 for that matter) players inking terrain all over the place, I just can't see how there wouldn't be some sort of lag or frame drops. Also, the kills happen so quickly in Splatoon (even more quick than PUBG and Fortnite) that a one-life system just doesn't seem practical or fun, either.

Real-life splatoon ink-game arenas, sort of like Lasertag battle parks. Partnered with large amusement parks, opening summer 2018, come and splat your family and friends in real life.

i figure we won't hear anything on Splatoon 3 until next year.

A Splatoon adventure game!

I think it’s more likely something to do with the game. Almost through year 1 of Splatoon 2’s, 2 year content support and I think a game as popular as Splatoon 2 on Switch has an important role to play to drive gamer support with Nintendo’s Switch Online Service.

Probably the anime people have been talking about, or maybe it's some sort of crossover.

I’ll call it - a Super Mario character/level pack.

No one would have guessed that Rabbids could mix with this franchise, so why not Splatoon?

F2P BR mode.

Please do not be a Battle Royale game mode Please do not be a Battle Royale game mode Please do not be a Battle Royale game mode Please do not be a Battle Royale game mode Please do not be a Battle Royale game mode Please do not be a Battle Royale game mode Please do not be a Battle Royale game mode Please do not be a Battle Royale game mode Please do not be a Battle Royale game mode Please do not be a Battle Royale game mode Please do not be a Battle Royale game mode Please do not be a Battle Royale game mode Please do not be a Battle Royale game mode.

Please... Anything but that.

Introducing ELECTRIC EELS obviously.

Releasing on XBox and PlayStation with Cross platform online compatibility 🤪

Who knows what it could be? "Shock the world" should indicate something. Splatoon 2 already has PVP and PVE modes so whatever this is, may be a new mode.

A fully fledged single player 3D-platformer campaign to even rival the mighty SMO.

A first person shooter Splatoon

It will be a 8 bit style Splatoon action platformer.

Come on people. If there is one thing we have learned from Nintendo over the years, then it's that they never jump on Hypes! Ever!

Battle Royal games is just the new hype today. Tomorrow there will be something new hyped up again.

Seeing the graphic fidelity we have with Splatoon 2 currently, I don't see how the Switch would be able to cope with more than 8 players on the screen.
So don't get your hopes up!

New offline co OP mode your welcome

I think most of us would see our patience tried with a sequel. Part of Splatoon is investing those hundreds of hours into getting gear, leveling up etc. Splatoon 2 is a blast but I wouldn't be able to get invested into any of the Splatoon games if I knew it would all be replaced just a year later.

"Shock the world"? I certainly hope it's not as shocking as that time Nintendo revealed at VGX that Cranky Kong would be playable in Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze. I'm still reeling from that announcement to this day.

battle royale now that would be a main event. The dlc and this will get me back on splatoon 2. Also if you check nintendo direct archive your notice there is something in may on every year. Apart from one year where there was something in April. Last year in April we had Splatoon and arms on a Direct, then May just Arms. So this could very well be that little thing before e3 but this time in June not May?.

Maybe stuff from the first game is headed over??? The game getting digital comix? New offline/online mode? More hair/bottoms/eyes?

@JoyconGang yah! ... Also like the avatar pic

Ehm guys Nintendo would never make a Fortnite/Pubg battle royal mode in Splatoon 2! Here my theories:
{ 1.} Splatoon 3 will be shown, but hold on I know Splatoon 2 is most new but Splatoon 3 can be come out in 2020 and their can show that it is in programming!

{ 2. } Their bring Splatoon 1 as remake back and when you have buy Splatoon 2 you can Switch between these two gamea! And their you have your Crosplay but with Nintendo Switch & Wiiu so that can be possible

{ 3. } Splatoon get an Movie!
I know thats an dump theorie but it can be possible because Mario will get an Movie too ! Now the theories that will 100% not happening ; Battle Royal but! Wtf Splatoon is a kids game not an DeathMatch where you have fun to kill all body ;/

Cross play between Xbox & Ps4 & Nintendo Switch!
No Splatoon is an Nintendo game and Splatoon 2 its Nintendo Switch only because in the TV trailer for the Switch their say ;" Splatoon 2 for Nintendo Switch only!" So please this theories are nonsense like mine

An Eshop 1 dollar discount

Zapfish turns evil?
Cuttlefish joins the fight??
Ink-Shock weapons coming???

Or just maybe ... F.L.U.D.D. makes a long awaited appearance #MarioXsplat2n

It'll be water guns themed after Splatoon weapons.

@SmaggTheSmug Super Splatoon Bakeoff you say?!?

MY BODY IS READY

No wait - maybe they found out a way so that you don't need 4 friends to play together online!
Maybe you could just be 2 or 3 people and then get matched up with randoms to create a full 4 player team!

Wow, what a revolutionary concept! #irony #splatoon2playerisimpossible #nintendocantdoonline

Might have something to do with the zapfish....

Crossover with Super Mario Sunshine: you'll be cleaning the arenas after each match.

@Squido While I don't think Splatoon will get a Battle Royale Mode, I don't believe any of your theories will come true either.
1. Yes, we've got confirmations of games with no real materials in the past (most recently Metroid Prime 4 and Pokémon at E3), but this only happens to games that are really anticipated or haven't got a new entry in the franchise for a long time. Announcement of Splatoon 3 wouldn't be that exciting for most of the people, since S2 came out just recently. Not to mention, the Splatoon team is still probably working on a new content for Splatoon 2, so it's very unlikely that preparations for a new title had already started.
2. Porting the first Splatoon would be unnecessary extra work for the devs. Most stuff from 1 was brought over to 2, so almost no one would buy the first game when the second one is much superior. The cross play thing wouldn't be impossible, but it is again pretty pointless since Nintendo will probably shut the Wii U servers down in a few years.
3. I could see a Splatoon movie being a reality someday, but certainly not now. The Mario movie is still in the works and they still don't know, whether it's even worth it to invest money into making these movies.

@Arcade91 but what could their bring that "Shocking the World" I mean their isn't that much and when their bring on that day the Octo Expansion DLC wouldn't it shock the world ! Or the leak is fake and we have it hyped up.....

They loan out an inkling to a 3rd party. Truly shocking, to sony.

A Split-screen local mutiplayer mode pls

TeamSpeak via Switch?

I would like to see some more co-op PvE modes come to Splatoon. Being able to tackle some story mode style levels as a team would be great fun.

In accordance with the 'games as a service' approach, I think it's fair to say that 'Splatoon' means everything related to the franchise, including 'Splatoon 2'.
They don't have to specifically say 'Splatoon 2' to mean this specific game, because Splatoon is more than just a game.
Besides, I always say 'Splatoon' when I mean 'Splatoon 2'.

That said, I really hope it's not a BR mode, that would lower my opinion of Nintendo (further).

Splatoon VR!

Splatoon spinoff game:
Vrrrr-Wooomy in the Night Sky

I just want a retail edition of the Octo expansion.

@Maxz wait, you think squids are real???

Just to point out; Nintendo has since come out and said this "big news" is a Baseless Rumour and that no official announcement has been made.
Obviously they could be trying to cover it up but just something to keep in mind.

It’s going to be a micro transaction stuffed mobile version, there will be exactly zero shock

@TJM lol that sounds pretty awesome

It's probably just a new league mode as depicted in the latest Corocoro magazine leak. A new emblem that looks like a squid arrow with a single eye pointing northwest has been revealed. The "shock the world" phrase was indeed on the cover of Corocoro itself, but should not be taken literally. It's just a hyped up claim/catchphrase the manga magazine often uses.

@ThatNyteDaez Aren't battle royales usually "every man for themselves" as opposed to teams though?

"shock the world"?
Really.

If they announce that Splatoon is becoming a multi-platform release for PS4 and XBONE as well as Switch, I might agree that would constitute "shocking the world". Anything else, not so much.

@Sakura What about Banjo and KazooieXSplatoon Crossover Nintendo Switch Exclusive Game Featuring Dante from Devil May Cry?

Its way to early for Splatoon 3 and i think that will be much different to 2. (unless they wait to switch 2 for Splatoon 3) lol. It won't be a remake of the 1st because when people thought smash was a remake of the 1st they said oh no. Like i said in another post a battle royale would be amazing!.

@patbacknitro18 On reflection, it's probably more likely to be an announcement about a mode/mechanic/character/stage involving electricity in some way. "Shock the world" is so over-the-top. I guess we'll see.

I would really love split screen local multiplayer. I have enough controllers to do it with four people, so that'd be awesome.

@Sakura The original word being translated at "shock" (衝撃) has more overtones of "impactful" than "electrifying" (see also the use of "爆心地" or "centre of explosion" when referring the website as the place that will break the news).

So it's likely that if it is foreshadowing anything it would be more explosive. But I'm trying not to read too far into it. And also trying to accept that some level of hyperbole has been employed. CoroCoro's main purpose is making overexcitable children even more excitable, after all.

@BlueBlur101 they all have a squad mode too usually 4 player, and some of them have modes like 50v50

Either another major expansion or mode. Or an Anime of course.

@Sakura Not even if they added Thanos like Fortnite did?

I've decided not to believe anything anymore unless the high word comes straight from Nintendo themselves. I've had enough of these stupid rumors!

@Maxz Oh well, back to my first instincts that whatever it is will be far less seismic than the hype is indicating.

@NIN10DOXD Hmm... All I'm saying is hype usually ends in disappointment. I hope it does turn out to be good, though.

....it turns out that Retro has been working on Splatoon Grand Prix the entire time!!!!

"Splatnite", yes!! "Inklingmon" cards, no....

Foil corocoro roller confirmed!!!1!

Splitscreen local multiplayer!! ridiculous that this game doesn't have it...?!?!

@Sakura Thats what I was thinking as well. "Shock the World" Seems like a very careful choice of words for them to use.

@MH4 Yes PLEASE.

@Kirbster1992 IKR? Imagine a spiltscreen Salmon Run, or if Nintendo brought back that balloon minigame! The Shoal would make it all possible, and seeing as how the Switch is perfect for couch co-op, spiltscreen splattage is the only thing I want for the game.

@MH4 Yeah. Imagine a 1v1 or 2v2 single-console Turf War! That would be amazing!

One of my friends wouldn’t be able to do a full battle royal mode because he only had 30 minutes a day on his switch. 🤣

I would really want a Battle Royale mode considering I’m boycotting Fortnite and PubG but what if it was a secret part of the expansion pack where you could build your own maps and send them to Nintendo and every week Nintendo would look at them and see if there were any good enough to use

@Kirbster1992 A 2 v 2 Turf War would be fantastic, but even better would be a splitscreen 4v4 turf war with four people on one console and four on another, granted there's 2 TVs available (or maybe just over the internet).

@Outspoken That's what I'm sayin', dude! Even Splatoon 1 had some form of it (one person on the GamePad, another on the TV for that balloon minigame)!

@dkxcalibur Honestly a Splatoon racer would be interesting. Maybe use it to flesh out the world by allowing more than just inkling/octoling playable characters; it could show us a new side of Splatoon's increasingly interesting universe!

(...I do get the joke though. 😂)

Should I buy Splatoon 2? Never played before. I like shooters and FPS, specially if they are fun to replay.

@Francema Definitely! I was over the fence until one of my friends nudged me into buying it, and have never regretted since. I'm not too fresh about combative league modes, but the co-op mode Salmon Run is just so delish!

I think people are reading too much into this.
Too be honest, I don't see anything in that page that might tease a new game or something similarly big that Nintendo might announce.
I'd love to be proven wrong, but I think that this is just the magazine teasing a Japan only contest, or promotion, or god-knows-what, related to Splatoon 2 and not a Nintendo's announcement or anything. Don't get your hopes too high.
But like I said, I'd love to be proven wrong.

@maruse Well, we know it's Splatoon 2 related (i.e. not a new game), and we know that symbol is some sort of lead on it. The fact it's claiming to "reveal Splatoon 2's biggest secret" makes me think it's story related.

My guess is that it's simply going to give some info on the lore and context behind the Octo Expansion. Perhaps as to why our Octo protagonist is fighting her own species; perhaps related to that weird scene where she's floating in green liquid like something out of Evangelion; perhaps something completely unexpected. I know ARMS had some sort of plot line revolving around a sinister technological corporation, and it wouldn't surprise me if Splatoon had something equally sinister tucked up its tentacle.

But yeah, I think "don't get your hopes too high" is definitely the most important takeaway.

It would make a whole lot of sense for Splatoon 2 to go cross-platform. Not only would it shock the world to see Nintendo IPs on XBOX and PC (I'll go ahead and assume Playstation and PSN won't play fair) — but it would make a lot of sense.

Splatoon 2 is one of the best games of its type and the number one barrier to adoption in the marketplace is being limited to the Switch. This game and franchise are BIGGER than the Switch and BIGGER than Nintendo's platform. Unlike other games that Nintendo creates, this is the one game that deserves to go multi-platform. Add to this that it's developed by a new, younger team of developers — it's the perfect time and perfect game to do this.

Other games likes Zelda BOTW and Mario belong on Switch. Splatoon belongs where the gamers are.
