[wars]

YES!

 

[Luigi87]

I am so, so excited for this =D

 

[Rosur]

Was hoping it was a fun spinoff thing

Maybe its for the SP campaign?

 

[ILikeFeet]

#TEAMCHAOS!

I hope the single player will be an extensive upgrade

 

[Laserbeam]

That was a cool ass trailer. Thought for sure it was some single player spinoff at first.

But I'll take this as well. Fuck yeah.

 

[theultimatesandwich]

Oh my gosh YEEEEES!!!!

 

[7thFloor]

I don't play Splatoon but I can't tell that this isn't Splatoon 2, I was actually hoping it was some kind of spin-off in a different genre

 

[Executive Taxi]

I love Splatoon, but why would I buy this when I already own Splatoon 2? It really just looked like more of the same.

You could apply this logic to every numbered sequel for any game??

 

[dipship31]

PLEASE just don't fuck up the online this time

NO FORCED PHONE APP
NO FORCED INTRO
ACTUAL STAT TRACKING

 

[ngower]

I am devastated at that release date but glad it's coming.

 

[Kivvi]

I KNEW IT. LET'S GOOO!

 

[Tom Nook]

YES!!!!!!

 

[Neiteio]

WOW WOW WOW

 

[Geg]

Little buddy!

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

People are excited about this huh? I felt it was pretty weak to close a direct on, especially with that 2022 release date.

 

[Xavi]

This def. looks like a post-apocalyptic world. I wonder if Team Chaos winning had something to do with it.

 

[Noppie]

I don't play Splatoon

Click to shrink...

Maybe this is why. Also the fact that it was literally 20 seconds of a teaser lol.

 

[808s & Villainy]

I don't play Splatoon but I can't tell that this isn't Splatoon 2, I was actually hoping it was some kind of spin-off in a different genre

Click to shrink...

I wonder why

 

[Deleted member 16908]

Hell yeah!

 

[MrWonderworld]

That was amazing. Can't wait.

 

[Magnet_Man]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Must save the world from Pearl's hellscape

 

[Yuntu]

This seems way too soon for some reason.

Show Mario Kart some love, Nintendo, PLEASE.

IT'S BEEN SEVEN YEARS.

Tell people to stop buying MK8D and maybe they will :p

Assume MK9 is for their next console launch.

 

[lovecatt]

wow I truly thought splatoon would be a once per console franchise.

very exciting though

 

[BackwardCap]

Looks like there will be an even greater emphasis on singles player and im all for it.

 

[sfortunato]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
isn't it too early?
also AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA YES

Click to shrink...

Splatoon 2 released in 2017.

5 years for a sequel seems a good timespan. 2 was released only 2 years after the first entry.

 

[Dyle]

Excellent trailer, I love how they took the Chaos theme and ran with it

 

[PrisonerOfDoom]

Best gaming news in a while!

 

[Rosebud]

They must be adding big things, otherwise I don't get why make a sequel now.

 

[mjw]

"No BotW2 news"
Noooo
"Splatoon 3"
YEEEEEEESSSSSS

 

[Tuck]

Yep, thats Splatoon.

 

[Faiyaz]

I love Splatoon, but why would I buy this when I already own Splatoon 2? It really just looked like more of the same.

Click to shrink...

What is this logic? Splatoon 3 will be released 5 years after 2.

 

[Vic20]

Was hoping it was a fun spinoff thing

Click to shrink...

Was legit disappointed the moment they showed a combat arena.

 

[Uncle at Nintendo]

5 years after the last game

"way too soon" - resetera

 

[Lastbroadcast]

Damn, that's far out. Kinda surprised they didn't hold onto Splatoon 3 for the next Nintendo system.

Click to shrink...

This probably means the Switch lifespan will stretch into 2023/2024.

 

[gardfish]

Hell yeah, bummed that it's 2022 but excited anyway. Interested in seeing what your little Salmonid buddy can do.

 

[timshundo]

All of my nerd friends texted me at once "ARE YOU HAPPY"

more like 1 person but ok

 

[Keyouta]

Eh. Was more interested in that first half of the trailer.

Same :/

Splatoon 2 sold 12 million copies to date, one would think the game has a fanbase that gets excited about a sequel, yes.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

I wonder if that opening implied a more robust single player component.

 

[reelbigeddy]

Guess I'm buying a Switch again next year then.

 

[Mass Effect]

love me some splatoon. buying this one day one.

 

[Poldino]

Looks like a more of the same to me

 

[Durden]

FUCK YEAAAAAAHHHH I think 2022 is perfect timing

 

[APOEERA]

Was hoping it was a fun spinoff thing

Click to shrink...

Same here. An Action RPG set in the Splatoon world where you customize your Splatoon character and your partner character would have tapped that Horizon: ZD/God of War (2018) vein for me.

 

[DrStrange87]

Where's my octoling option?!

Man, going a whole console generation without a new Mario Kart is rough.

 

[ffdgh]

Wait what? That feels super weird.

 

[Camjo-Z]

no order

only CHAOS
