Splatoon 2 support is ending this week.
Not sure if they'd add more weapons or modes since that ended in December.
Kind of hard for Splatfest to return after Final Fest
Hisashi Nogami confirms Splatoon 3 is not in development yet, no thoughts about what's next

I don't think B tier means once per generation. Otherwise Zelda is B tier, and that isn't true in any way.
Splatoon just isn't a B tier franchise.
Why? Doesn't seem to be a problem for any other shooter. And Splatoon 2 is about to wrap up its content updates and event schedule.
I tore through the Octo Expansion and I still haven't finished the core single player campaign.
That said I think it's pretty clear the next campaign will be more in line with the Octo Expansion. That format works really well for Splatoon.,
true. this time there won't be an excuse, it shouldn't just be a long tutorial, make it a proper adventure.
Yeah I figured as much. They probably want to make bigger changes.
They're not activision. They dont want to make incremental updates.
Luckily for me, I still havent played the campaign despite putting 400+ hours into multiplayer, so I have that still and the Octo Expansion to play.

Splatoon is probably the perfect launch title for a console.
Immense selling power in Japan, very good in the rest of the world. It's GaaS model also makes it adapt to stay relevant for a long period.
Launch title of Switch 2 it is for the sequel.

considering they're talking about sales, Nintendo's B tiers is most other companies A tier
Splatoon 3 launch for Switch makes so much sense. They would have enough time to do it. Like I said earlier they have plenty of time to flesh things out. Should have over 3 years.
Zelda and Mario probably won't be able to make launch for a Switch 2.

Good. Hopefully they find a way to add a legit local co-op element to the franchise. Only way I buy another one.
i agree. with botw 2 coming and odyssey 2 coming likely a year later, new entries will probably not make it for the launch year of switch 2. i think mario kart 9 and splatoon 3 and metroid prime 4 will be enough tho.
I was hoping the game in your spoiler tag was the game I was thinking about lol.
Nintendo should always strive to have a big game for launch. I wonder though if they should make sure they have a big single player game close to launch or a launch title. Splatoon 3 and Metroid Prime 4 could work.
Don't put that spoiler tagged evil on us. MP4 is coming 2021 for the Switch at the latest
I'd say chances are likely you won't buy another one then lol
Yeah, I do go back and forth and it mainly depends on when Switch 2 comes. I could see it as a cross gen title too.
i admire your optimism but just think how much better looking it would be as a switch 2 launch title. it could be the botw moment for metroid and elevate the series to the next level.
I agree completely. If Mario and Zelda sequels are out by 2021, then it makes a lot less sense for them as Switch 2 launch games around 2023-ish than stuff like Splatoon 3 and Mario Kart 9.
maybe switch 2 could have a new 2D mario as a launch window title too, but it needs to be a new style (not the "new" style) to be a big deal.
Both Zelda and 3D Mario have histories of multiple entries on the same console. I don't see any reason to expect them to be launch titles for the Switch 2, just because a few of them have been on past systems. I do see Mario Kart 9, Splatoon 3 and some big single player game being the foundation of the Switch 2's launch through 6 months/1 year
I think even Nintendo has realized that style is trash if Mario Maker 2 is any indication >_>
I'm pretty sure they're done with the New series. Mario Maker 2 was the end of it as I see. Now Nintendo can make a new 2D Mario Adventure game.
No reason to think that.
Those games sold way more than 3d mario ever did, are not expensive to make. They just said way back only 1 per platform. You got your one, now you gotta wait
You can still play Splatoon 2 after the Final Splatfest lol. The servers aren't being shut down and all copies of the game won't suddenly self-terminate.
i hope mario can have it's cuphead moment. not necessarily having the same style, just a truly 2D, hand-animated game.
even the servers for splatoon 1 are still up, and you can get a match going pretty quickly from what i hear.
There's also the option that Mario Maker is the new 2D Mario series going forward. So we get Mario Maker 3 as the main 2D Mario offering on Switch 2.
I have good reason to think it's done. Yeah they outsold 3D Mario on Nintendo's most casual systems ever, which was at a crazy rate. On Wii U and 3DS the 2D and 3D Mario game are right there with each other. That series is over.
It's a gut thing and I know Nintendo is moving on now from "New" Mario. The series is ready for a refresh.
I hope not. I see it as 2 separate series. Nintendo should still want to create their own 2D Mario adventure games.
Good.
Nintendo need to keep their "service" or hobby games once per gen, and Splatoon needs a bit of a rethink. I loved Splatoon 2 but it was basically Splatoon 1.5 with a worse hub.

Okay, if they announce a spinoff soon I'll believe you Nogami-san.
He says they haven't thought about the future of Splatoon 3 yet we have a 4 day Spletfast with a theme pretty much written for the next entry... I honestly don't believe Splatoon 3 will come with the Switch 2, that'd mean that Splatoon 2 on minimum would need to live on their own (without events and big updates that is) for 3 more years and simply would be the death of the franchise. Next year, or early 2020 at the latest.

I remember that, but I don't like Wario unless it involves his Wares :(
Are you serious right now? Is Mario Kart dead in that case??? Splatoon doesn't need constant updates to survive. Splatoon 1 is still thriving and Splatoon 2 has always just seen spikes around splatfests and returned to a normal baseline afterwards. It'll do just fine
People seem dead set on the same old 5 year life cycle but ya'll forgetting the 3DS is only just winding down. The Switch is a success so I don't see the Switch 2 coming out for a LONG time.
Stopping events for Splatoon 2 and Arms seems like a bad idea too..
really? i think it'll be fine. all they need is a spin-off in a year or two and then splatoon 3 for the launch of switch 2.
3DS was winding down in 2017. for the past few years it has gotten nothing from nintendo except pokemon and old ports.
I have no clue. All I know is Nogami is producing the next AC.
I'm curious how long Splatoon 2 is going to stay active.
I expect to at least see some kind of spin-off before the Switch is through though.
