Ancho-V Games Is Coming To Splatoon 2 Alongside Two New Weapons

I liked this stage in the first game, not sure why one of those weapons in the image is a bathtub though...

@Kimyonaakuma From the size, it looks like a urinal with handles =0p

Super excited for Ancho V. Haven't been there as I stopped playing Splatoon 1 before it came out.

Is that a frikkin frying pan-blender!? xDDDDD

I remember liking Ancho-V games, but the one I'm really waiting for is Flounder Heights. That was my favorite from the first game.

Nice seeing more returning stages, the best outcome would be everything returning but I doubt that's happening.

Anyone wishing to see these weapons in action should check the Japanese Twitter account. They're quite interesting. The Nautilus is the first Splatling capable of storing charge while swimming, and the Bloblobber launches a string of bubbles which bounce across the floor and explode on impact. Could be chaotic in confined spaces.

Anyway, take a look.

More slosher love! This one fires bubbles like the Drop Shot from Metal Slug in 4-shot bursts!

Is it just me or does the Bloblobber remind anyone else of a bidet?

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a jacuzzi, since it has holes for the jets.

Finally. I love Ancho-V games!

@LtAldoRaine Mine too. I always called Flounder Heights the "apartments"

@thesilverbrick A bidet or a urinal... Definitely a bathroom utensil.

@Kimyonaakuma I totally saw a bathtub too but I genuinely thought it was a bathtub and expected that Splatoon fans understood the reason why this looks like a bathtub. Now, it is a mystery...

Not gonna lie, thought that was a toilet at first. Watched both of them in action and I gotta say, Bloblobber is my kind of weapon. Very niche on how it works. Throwing bubbles around are going to make me feel like Bub and Bob.

All I want is a new charger weapon. Is that too much to ask Nintendo?! And by a new charger I don't mean more iterations on the bamboozler, that doesn't count.

Although tbh I have no idea what they could add to a charger to define it as a new weapon in and of itself, but at the same time I'm assuming the Splatoon devs are smarter than me here so I'm sure they can come up with something

@sikthvash Yes! You don't want to be hit by that. Swim away as fast as you can.

@SmaggTheSmug I hope it never throws yellow ink...

I'll see myself out

Bloblobber? Clever name. Just don't try to say it 3x fast

@Zup That's a good topic for discussion, how could we make an alternate charger? I do like when they introduce new weapons (like that new slosher) or alter them to change the style of play. They're fun to experiment with, loved it when I 'got' Blasters.

I like chargers as well, and switching from that to a Squiffer or Bamboozler actually changes up the playstyle quite a bit (the latter 2 are both close range, so you have to be more on the frontlines with it). I do like that bamboozlers shoot as fast and straight as they do (near instantaneous, which is handy for foes with low health), with the downside being it paints very thin lines

For a charger it's almost all about precision, straight line aiming though. The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is using it to point at specific areas on the map, from which it could be like Ink Missiles. You target a point, and it sends a delayed signal to fire a small missile or three perhaps, if it's charged fully.

Or, wait, maybe a multidimensional portal gun, where after you target a spot, it sends a tiny Maws (maybe variable in size based on charge time) to come up from that spot and bites anyone in that spot similar to Salmon Run.

It'd be a gimmicky/assist weapon more so. I'm not sure how useful it could be in actual play though, as it'd probably be quite difficult to survive 1 on 1 encounters with it.

@Alex18 Agreed, that's a good stage. Splatoon1 had superior stage design, but glad a lot of them are returning. Hope the art museum and Salt Spray Rig also make a comeback, though at this point, maybe all the stages would have returned by that point, lol

I will say I like that they are experimenting with stages in Splatfests, it's fun to try the unique stage. It'd be cool if a few of those became official (I like the ones with the clear glass that had brushes removing the ink on occasion, the 2 stage lockdown one, and in general I like they experiement with the single player stage gimmicks)

From the name, I'm guessing the Bloblobber is like those Octarian guns that shoot bouncing blobs of ink. From the picture it appears to function somewhat like a Slosher. The Nautilus would appear to be some kind of Splatling, though the charge time and range is unknown yet.

...Well.

I was wildly wrong in my secret Discord server prediction. They're bringing back Ancho-V Games?

...Eh. The map had a crap design that I never liked to play on...

I’m looking forward to my Pearl and Marina Amiibo arriving from Germany. Stupid Atlantic Ocean.

Oh so that's where the robots work on games...get it?

Ancho-V games was the stage I wanted to return the most so this is awesome!
