The important thing is that you can be an Octoling, as octopodes are superior to squids in every way.

And also the small fry little buddy was pretty cute.

Every special was new in 2 and I'd guess the same with 3

I hope they expand Salmon Run into a Tier 1 mode, it was pretty much all me and my buds played after we got bored of PvP.

omg the spawner drones are espresso machines, the ink tanks are hydration bladders, the 96 gal has a water filter attached to it, its these little details that add up

Those were actually in the data for S1, just unused. The way they functioned was like in the trailer, first spawn allowed you to select where in the base you wanted to spawn, but subsequent spawns had you respawn at the set respawn point. There's a visible respawn point in the screenshots and trailer, so they probably function the same way here. Will probably make rollouts smoother.

I hope they bring back Saltspray Rig and Urchin Underpass. Those are the only Splatoon 1 maps I missed in 2.

Most likely. Inkzooka looks to be back in name only. Seems to shoot explosive shots, not tornados. And we've already seen the wail/ray replacement.

This, and also I am super looking forward to this. I need to decide on new character's style though, since I ended up with an established Iook for my agents 3, 4, and 8 and there are a ton of options this time... Probably an octo and a squid but I dunno?

No one left uncured.
I got you.
The trailers were neat, but it's gonna take some doing for them to ever top the Octo Expansion trailer. The blinding, white-hot confidence that radiated from that thing was unbelievable. I've seen actual music videos with less aesthetic than that trailer.

More importantly, Octo Expansion showed that that team can make deep, chunky and occasionally merciless single-player content. I don't know what they're mulling over for the campaign part of Splathreen but I have complete confidence that it's gonna rule.

Yeah, but that Spirited Away train shot was up there too. You'll have a fifteen seconds long fixed shot of a serene train ride where nothing happens and it will seem the most interesting thing in the world.

Not holding my breath but I hope they do some cloud backups this time around. I don’t think it’s a big deal for most of us but I’ve read some stories of people losing their saves from a broken/stolen/lost switch and that sucks. Especially in this day and age.

I agree. Put it back to Splatoon 1's system of ensuring people never get what they want on gear. Chaos won, afterall.
