I would care, but after the shitfest that was Splatoon 2 online, I'll wait for netcode analysis before I'll buy it
The game has a singleplayer mode, you know. I highly doubt they'd tease this postapocalyptic world where you edit your Inkling and then go: 'nope, was all for multiplayer trolololol'.
Ok on the one hand, this is Splatoon and I LOVE IT, and they took a very different turn for 3 as opposed to 2 which is good.
On the other hand I'm not a fan of sequels to multiplayer games on the same console, and this potentially means Mario Kart could be a thing too which is ugh.
Still hyped about the game itself but not the implications

Okay so the desert is obviously the setup for the single player campaign in the style of Octo Expansion (you even have a train instead of a subway), except it's integrated into the game from the start and you travel to Inkopolis as the multiplayer hub as usual.
Opposite for me. No interest in playing a Splatoon platformer or VN or anything other than glorious true-blue Solstoon
I don't understand this logic, if Splatoon 3 releases in ~mid 2022, it'll be about 5 years since Splatoon 2, which is not as long as 7 years, but still pretty long.
why do people come into threads about games they don't care about and tell the people in the thread that they don't care about the game?
I'm 100% in for Splatoon 3. Was really surprised this wasn't Splatoon: SOS as a spin-off. I wonder how far this may have been pushed back due to COVID.

Between 2014 and 2022, three Splatoon games will have been released.
Only a single Mario Kart game will (likely) have been released in that time.
Sorry I'm just salty about the whole thing, but this is way off topic so I'll drop it.
Playing with a mate has got to be better this time around or can't bother. Always my biggest pet peeve. Excited otherwise
I'm kinda exited for this, loves the second one.... But..... This is a weird one, that makes me literally think, why not support the second one more? It's the same platform and it's not like the other consoles like PS4 and One where games at the end of a gen look ridiculously better than at the start. You don't really have that with the Switch, they all look more or less the same over the years, it's more like that the Switch is more steaming than ever with all kind of new releases, to a point that I would even think the new one could basically look the same, but could run on less res than the last one... I'm scared of that.
Also, a sequel here doesn't look like it brings anything mind-blowing new to the table, so why does it exist?
Still a bit hyped, I really like this franchise, but it's a bit puzzling to me.

I'm not gonna lie, with how the trailer started I was half expecting it to be a spin-off or something, and I was fully onboard.
But then the 3 appeared and it looked like regular Splatoon which disappointed me slightly. I am down for more Splatoon though, but the sudden thought of something different got me excited. Still though, there could easily be some unique story mode in it similar to the Octo expansion. I'm very intrigued by the desert vibe.

Yeah, most team shooters release yearly or close to it. The idea that this would have the same kind of cycle as a more casual local MP game like Mario Kart never made any sense to me, you want to keep the community momentum going, not let it dry up.
Understandable, but considering how well MK8D has been selling compared to Splatoon 2, i doubt Nintendo is in a rush for a MK9 release. They know the selling power it has, and no doubt are saving it for their next console iteration.
lmao people doing the same spiel of the new splatoon looking like the old one just like they did with 2 and 1 when it was a clear upgrade.
The singleplayer will likely be legendary in this game just like it was in 2, definitely looking forward to it.

Yeah, Splatoon as universe has a lot of potential. So sad to have just Splatoon 3. I'm expecting same online limitations, 2 maps and competitive modes rotations, 2 min matches... Meh
The only reason I can see for a sequel is for major mechanical or mode changes that couldn't just be DLC, which makes me pretty excited considering the previous games were able to add fairly major features through DLC
Also the bolded...come on. Do you guys really think before typing this stuff? Like they're going to release something that could be DLC as a sequel
You mean intentional decisions that are in no way HW limitations??
Makes me even more sad Chaos won the Fest, cuz I would kill to see super techno maps. But maybe there's going to be like a "civil war" motif with Chaos and Order teams still raging so there'll be maps with both themes
But I for one, welcome the return of our Inkzooka overlords
