Splatoon 2's Next Patch Will Stop Players Reaching An Area That Should Be Off Limits

I don't own this or Smash Bros and have owned a Switch since launch, do I win a prize?

Squid Research Lab: 5.0.0 will be the last update for Splatoon 2.

Why you always lyin'...

@BarefootBowser Honestly, the single player mode in Splatoon 2 bored me to tears, despite how much I loved the multiplayer. But the Octo Expansion was a pretty meaty expansion and a blast to play through. It's pretty challenging, and there's still several stages I skipped that I need to go back and beat.

@SusieHaltmann They didn't lie. They said 5.0.0 would be the last major content update. Everything after will just be small patches and adjustments.

I still play Splatoon 2. I prefer their online multiplayer compared to any other shooter on the Switch. I guess I just don't care about most shooters not named Star Wars, Metroid, or Splatoon.

Still a Splatoon Squidkid since the beginning of the Switch's life cycle (you know, that time when everyone was ragging on it for being weak and without games). I still very much get enjoyment out of the game as a whole (mostly through multiplayer), though it can get EXTREMELY stressful when competing at a high level.

Well, since I like finding new areas in video games that are not possible to reach, I better start playing Splatoon 2.

@BarefootBowser Splatoon 1 was way more fun. The specials were way over the top. You had to change weapons and gear for every stage. Every stage required a different strategy. In Splatoon 2 all levels play the same. Too easy to get to S+. Splatoon 1 was unbalanced, but fun. Splatoon 2 balances everything, but lost it's unique charm in the progress. It's a more watered down generic experience.

@BarefootBowser Double agree with the other poster's comment. In single player the hub worlds where realllly pretty and the boss fights were fun, but the level design and stuff bored me to blood tears out of my face. It's like the most uninspired way to interpret the online stuff as single player. But whatever, the online is sooooooooooo much fun. Octoexpansion is fun if you don't try to plow thru all of them. If you treat as this resource of cool and hard little Splatoon puzzles to beat it's great. The length of the levels is varied but doesnt overstay itself.

@HumanDog Do you mean overall? Or are you mostly talking about the single player in Splatoon versus Splatoon 2? I never played 1 but loved the heck out of 2. Always wondered if I shouldn't pick up a WiiU and play with that community.

@Dang69 I'm talking about multiplayer. The maps in Splat 1 were more fun. Some had a ton of verticality, others were bigger. In splatoon 2 they all feel the same with the action mostly centered in the middle of the map. Singleplayer Splatoon is really boring. The Expansion was pretty fun though, although it was a bit short and the final boss is reaaaaally cheap.

@BarefootBowser Yeah same. I never really got into it, I guess the competitive multiplayer was never really my thing. It's why I always had interest in just getting into the expansion, but I liked the coop mode.

I stopped playing it, it got boring.

Great game all around. Glad they are keeping an eye on it and fixing issues still.

Though I still say Nintendo is insane for not continuing to support the titles with more maps and Splatfests. Splatoon 2 was growing into a real esport contender, but will start to fade back out now that there is no more content coming.

I hope they don't wait too long before releasing a Splatoon Spinoff title or even Splatoon 3.

Does anybody have video of this glitch? Don't want to try it myself but I'm curious what this off-limit area looks like.
