Splatoon

Another remission, eh?

"That's reMATCH, you dolt! [bonk]"

New remix :D

Agree on the Final Boss being cinematic as hell but with unnecessary frustrations.

The BONUS boss, on the other hand... Man, that kicks your ass all the way to Mars, but it's an awesome hard-as-nails fast-paced battle. I know it's a meme, but I genuinely think that battle is like a Dark Souls boss with the pace turned up to 11.

Oh, and it has no down time! Not even a continue screen to pad out a defeat. You get splatted, you respawn instantly and start again, sweet music remaining uninterrupted. I appreciate that so much, you have no idea.

Honestly, if it weren't for the no-downtime I think I would have quit the game without beating the bonus boss. I was reaching the point where I had made an ultimatum for myself, where if I put the game down without beating the boss I knew I wasn't going to pick it back up again, and I didn't want that to happen.

Yeah, I don't usually bother with bonus bosses, but the fact that it restarts so quickly made it way less of a hassle. Even if you die on the final round you're not going to lose more than like five minutes of progress.

I still love that the protagonist of the previous game has become a figure of awe and dread in certain circles

Meanwhile inklings just think “that individual sure is good at splatzones. And so fresh!”

Agent 3 is a dork, to be honest. A cool dork, but a dork nonetheless

Also, Agent 8 really admires 3.

I like the interpretation that Agent 3 kinda comes across as an edgelord and people in Inkopolis find it hard to take them seriously because of it.

None of Splatoon's player characters really have canon personalities. The closest is Agent 8's description of the mem cakes, but even that's more like private thoughts than a public persona, so we don't really know how they act around other people.

That said, I'm fond of the headcanon from this video, with Agent 3 as a responsible Ideal Hero type, Agent 4 as a grandstanding smartass, and Agent 8 as the sweet but naive newcomer.

Agent 3 spends their downtime standing on a fence letting the wind blow their cape dramatically

Isn't Agent 3 a DJ now? DJ SAN-GO or whatever?

Oh, yes. Apparently, Agent 3 is also known as DJ Sango and had an 8 hour rap battle with Marina.

Oh, and Dedf1sh's real name is Ahato Mizuta, after the Giant Pacific Octopus.

Dude didn't have a cape until that fucking telephone, though. A recovered Agent 3 couldn't have resisted the "I LOOK SO COOL!" factor.

Also, Agent 3 becoming a DJ? Noice.

A smol interview with the developers :D

full recording of the concert

And talking about the concert, the title screen for the concert has a tease for update 4.4.

Double post: 10 Sheldon's Picks kits from Splatoon 1 coming sometime soon.

Free demo for the week of March 26th through April 1st, with the ability to play Turf Wars, Ranked, and Salmon Run, matchmaking with friends, and data will be transferable to the main game.

Don't think I don't notice that Heavy Splatling Remix.

Give me my Wail Spam back, Nintendo. I want to be the laser queen.

It turns out a group of League players have been using DDoS attacks against their opponents to reach rank 1.
