Can we just take a moment to appreciate the Smallfry redemption arc? They went from being maniacal bloodlust children that everyone hated with the burning passion of a thousand suns...to being your companion, your friend who's there for you in this now barren world. I'm happy for them.
But look at that “city” or something in the middle of the trailer. I think they just dropped the idea of a fallen society or a world of chaos halfway. A little repetitive, if you ask me.
The 2022 date on this one was brutal. Crazy to think the game was supposedly only 10% done at this point. They really made this as early as they possibly could.
Yeah I remember in like late 2020 Nogami said that this game wasn’t in development and then like 3-4 months later they made this trailer with a new city, new map, a dozen or so weapons/specials, and a new song… like damn chill out Nintendo
Nah not if you’ve been playing the game since 4.3 and if your trying to get X while the game literally rewards impatient players on some maps cause of how bad weapons are on those maps.
Yes and no, the original Splatoon game was taking place in Japan while this one from seeing the Eiffel tower should be taking place around Paris so this might be a standalone story maybe expanding the world on Splatoon
@@PinkPuff07 actually assuming that twitter translator didnt commit an oopsie and i got everything right, this town at the end of tha trailer is actually a whole seprate one, not a post apocaliptic inkopolis, its probably somewhere around france and somehow has been growing really big after the final fest, i dunno how tho
I don't think it has anything to do with the Splatpocalypse, at least in the first part. Because humanity is just abandoned but it looks like Grizco plays a huge part in this story.
I was 11 when Splatoon first came out and I absolutely feel in love with everything it had to do with this game. The vibe, music, colors, story, gameplay mechanics, events and so much more. I met wonderful people of this community because of this game and I learned how to enjoy the everything each game haves to offer. Unique experiences. Now I’m gonna be 18, graduating highschool. And my hype for this franchise hasn’t die yet, not even a little bit. Can’t wait to have the three hard copies of this amazing trilogy together on my hands already. Since they forever will be stuck in my heart and mind forever, thank you Nintendo.
Same!!! I got splatoon 2 but I watched gameplays of the first one, apart from that, we have pretty much the same experience lol. Can’t wait to finally graduate, I’ll be able to enjoy splatoon 3 after finishing senior year (thank goodness)
I got Splatoon 1 two months after it's release and since then, it's introduced me to so many cool things. I really like Splatoon 2, especially it's DLC, and based off of what I've seen so far, the next game is gonna be fire.
Ha, I was twelve! I remember watching the squid research lab over and over, becoming more captivated each time. Combine that with the wonderful American marketing campaigns and events like the mess fest with Kit and Krysta and I could hardly wait to play. After release, the mysterious and captivating world of the inklings and octarians as told through the sea scrolls became my first interest in videogame lore, and something my 12 yr old self didn't expect at all. This franchise has been fantastic!
@Diesel St Ivany no, I mean you are true, the beta era was rabbits. But before the rabbits they used grey and white tofu, that was REALLY early in development. So they changed to rabbits, and they felt like it didn't suit the theme of shooting paint so they choose squids, and here we are now
Does anyone else come back to this trailer to listen to what could have been? The new Splattack! sounds fine, but this one, THIS ONE, is what could have been a true master-piece.
I actually come back to listen to the train music, it’s extremely original from what I can tell and better than the anarchy rainbow remix that plays in the finished game
It probably isn't them, although that would be cool. This takes place in a different country to the first game so I doubt they'd make a physical appearance, but an appearance through a music track would be neat.
Me, I'm sad, this game just started, not even 2 years ago 😢, and I'm scared that this grand festival will end of a splatoon trilogy, and splatoon 4 will be completely different 😭
ahhh, the day where everyone doesn’t have perfectly aligned abilities on their gear... and the day where you don’t know how many hours some tryhard has poured into splatoon as a series...
Speaking of which, this makes me feel worried for Splatoon 1. Since Nintendo is soon stopping people from uploading levels to Super Mario Maker Wii U, it's clear we'll have to prepare for the worst. After the long awaited Splatoon 3 comes out, Splatoon 1 online just might be completely dead. Brace yourselves
Splatoon 1: You Can Be A Squid, OR Even A Kid! Splatoon 2: Make Inkopolis Great Again, Octoling Aliens Ruining City, Intense Political Dillemas Splatoon 3: Anarcho-Inklingism
I still can't believe that I'm playing the game right now. I remember being so hyped about Splatoon 3 last year while playing Splatoon 1 & 2! Now it's time to enjoy Splatoon 3 for another 5 to 6 years before Splatoon 4 comes out!

What a creative character creation menu, having it actually take place in-universe and using the removal of a cloak to move on to smaller details. Really clever, I hope it remains in the final game.
@@panwasacz2733 When you first boot up the game, I don’t think you should skip this. Although, if you’re yk changing your character a second or a third time there should be a menu for quicker access.
I mean, while you still can change your look in Octo Expansion the same way as it was the first time, on the plaza it's like the menu before so I'd say it's just for the first time, which makes it special if you ask me
Prolly more than that even, think about how many people watched through their console, or got the info through the 15 minute breakdowns. Like how did they stretch a 3 min trailer that far?
@@L4C3Z It looks like there is still gender, but hairstyles & shorts are no longer gender locked. At 0:17 there are two of inklings & two octolings. ♀ on left, ♂ on right. I assume that they'll be slightly different faces & bodies, but you are really choosing between Woomy, Ngyes, Veemo, or Oomy.
I also had a dream that I was playing Splatoon 3, I was playing turf war and the maps were like so huge and so cool and it was literally so awesome, but then I woke up 😭😭😭
Please Nintendo, do me just one favour: release an artbook when splatoon 3 released of how Splatoon 3 would have looked like if team order won, including lore. I really need it pleaseeee
I remember when I was a wee lad on Miiverse, I made a post talking about my weapon concepts for Splatoon. And some guy called me an idiot for considering the idea of an Ink Bow. Finally, after six years, he’s the idiot. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
@@theultimateinksack5825 I can't say for sure but I'd assume so, splat, burst and suction bombs all returned from the first game. None of them are severely unbalanced (although I am a beast with splat bombs)
Lore theory: the train is connected to the same train stations that agent 8 was on. A huge drought caused more land to be revealed/controllable by both inkling and octolings (this are just guesses idl what I'm saying)
actually that makes a ton of sense you see the Eiffle tower at the beggining UPSIDE DOWN and the entire game takes place in this scortched desert the Eiffle could have been rusted and fliped due to water rushing in and destroying the earth humans knew and loved
that would be sick :00 i was thinking maybe callie and marie would be forced to return tho because marina and pearl probably didnt do too well after the final fest but tbh without new characters it would be a little boring
I was & am pro Team Order, I hope that we will get a revenge so that o r d e r and peace shall finally succeed in being the main Focus of Inkling- and octokind. Sowwy for my sad english
Well now we have more info on where inkopolis is. Bc like wasn't there a huge flood so what if there was a huge drought? If that is correct then Inkpolis is in europe, not Japan or America.
Imagine a few years ago being told that Nintendo would announce a game in which is set after humans have gone extinct due to the effects of global warming and the world has been thrown into a state of dismay, as giant deserts and wastelands spread across the Earth and then being told it's fish paintball.
you know its an big annoucement YOU *KNOW* ITS A BIIGG ANNOUNCEMENT ITS AN INSTICNT YOU KNOW ITS AN BBBBBBIIIIIIIIIIG ANNOUNCEMENT (sorry for getting carried away uwu I'm just so excited)
@@stevetattersall5933 Its a surprise because the fandom have been asking for it for ages and have lost hope about now. Its also got a year of development ahead, are you really that surprised a teaser shows ported assets? Ofc they're gonna tweak things up and we can see they already have to quite a large extent. And just because the series mainstay turf wars are back doesnt mean the whole game is gonna be recycled modes. As long as there's still ranked modes the comp community will be happy and I'll be happy regardless.
@@cosmichild1 because some people, to troll, change their channel to Nintendo and put the exact same style of Nintendo's thumbnails to make a fake announcement
@@cosmichild1 some people are REALLLY good at animation. Sometimes they will actually go that far to troll. Even using logos and stuff. It makes sense people would be suspicious
I remember being absolutely obsessed with Splatoon (1) when it came out. And I was just a tiny kid :D and I am still obsessed. I can’t believe that Splatoon 3 is now coming out soon. Dreams really do come true 🥺
Just knowing that makes me wish they did a Pokémon and released one game fixated on exploring a dystopia and the other taking place within a cyber utopia
Now that I have everyone’s attention I can say that please go out and buy lumines remastered for the Nintendo switch. It’s a really cool game and I want it to get more attention so that maybe one day we can have a lumines 2 remastered. thank you.
2 years… It has been 2 years ever since the release of Splatoon 3 and what an insane 2 years it has been. All the seasons have finished, Grand Run has just ended and we are nearing the event that will determine the future of Splatoon 4, Grand Festival. The past few years have been some of the most fun I’ve had, I’ve made some great memories, made a lot of friends through this game and just had so much fun with everything this game has to offer. Alterna was such a fun story mode, Big Run was some and Eggstra Work breathed new life into Salmon Run, Side Order was so fun and I even beat every weapon without hacks. While I like to look back and reminisce about everything in the past and wonder what the future may hold ultimately I like to live in the now. We can’t change the past and ultimately what determines the future is what we do today. I am going Team Present for the Grand Festival, everything I have done, everything I have worked for has led up to this moment. Good luck to all the teams and regardless of who wins I look forward to what Nintendo does for Splatoon 4. Thank you Nintendo, this series is a big part of my life and I’m glad to be able to play it ❤🦑!
There’s something so hilarious about the random inklings and octolings standing around doing nothing in Splatsville while the main inkling girl is moving so smoothly
Who is here after the end of Splatoon 3's update cycle and the Grand Fest. Its been a long ride with this game, very enjoyable and fun. Congrats to Team Past winning the Grand Fest and I truly cant wait to see what you will do for this franchise now.

*"how to give a heart attack to approximately 1 million people"*
Yeah, seems accurate.
Prolly more than that even, think about how many people watched through their console, or got the info through the 15 minute breakdowns.
Like how did they stretch a 3 min trailer that far?

@@Ryujinnokenwokurae2099 exactly my face went from😆 to 😕 But I’m glad we got a splatoon 3
just realized you get to choose to be an inkling or an octling from the start. it’s gonna take me till 2022 to even make my decision
If we only had time machines
I'm probably gonna play inkling because those hairstyles are pretty great-
I already played as an octoling for majority of Splatoon 2 so eh..
Not only that. There’s no gender. Nintendo is awesome.
@@L4C3Z It looks like there is still gender, but hairstyles & shorts are no longer gender locked. At 0:17 there are two of inklings & two octolings. ♀ on left, ♂ on right. I assume that they'll be slightly different faces & bodies, but you are really choosing between Woomy, Ngyes, Veemo, or Oomy.
@@Daehpo yeah. I assume the voices are still gender...ed

Please Nintendo, do me just one favour: release an artbook when splatoon 3 released of how Splatoon 3 would have looked like if team order won, including lore. I really need it pleaseeee
I’ll buy some for both of us
I'm gonna imagine it looking like the octarians base or whatever in the octo expansion. That looked pretty dystopian to me

Hmm, Nintendo Direct seems like it has lot of lot let’s drop there!
I kinda thought that but it didn't look like it was the exact same thing. Even if it was that would actually be cool
Lore theory: the train is connected to the same train stations that agent 8 was on. A huge drought caused more land to be revealed/controllable by both inkling and octolings (this are just guesses idl what I'm saying)
actually that makes a ton of sense
you see the Eiffle tower at the beggining UPSIDE DOWN and the entire game takes place in this scortched desert
the Eiffle could have been rusted and fliped due to water rushing in and destroying the earth humans knew and loved
New protagonist being the missing Agent 7?
That is a possibility. I wonder if the idols are also agents. I also wonder if dj Octavio (don't know if I spelled that right) is still a threat
@@ronyanko3530 that is the best idea i have ever heard ever in my life ever
I hope all our Safe data from Splatoon 2 is still there and that you could update splatoon 2 in someway because i have the DLC and the Normal game

I mean, if the idols were interesting, then you wouldn’t even want to skip it
100% agree

Plot Twist: The new idols aren’t inklings or octolings but instead, are salmonids
@Joel the Fanboy interesting
SalmoKIDS
that would be sick :00 i was thinking maybe callie and marie would be forced to return tho because marina and pearl probably didnt do too well after the final fest but tbh without new characters it would be a little boring
XD
*no.*
I can't believe that it's been ~19 months since this direct and most of them survived until the release.
this is the best day for us
Kinda cool to know that the Octoling from Octo Expansion canonically destroyed racism worldwide and now inklings and octolings coexist peacefully
Yay
I would have just blames the Marina simps for that, of which I am one.
Yeah except both of them are still racist against Salmonids (which is probs want Splatoon 3 and our little buddy is about)

Could also be the small one from Vegas. It is in a desert, and, I dont really know how tall the inklings and octolings are compared to humans.
@@TreeckoJedi9 according to lore they’re way taller than we see them as. They can also jump 5 feet tall and can spot prey from 100 yards away
Well now we have more info on where inkopolis is. Bc like wasn't there a huge flood so what if there was a huge drought? If that is correct then Inkpolis is in europe, not Japan or America.

so cool to see how much this game has developed
From a simple ink shooting game, to a game where your playing in literal Desert and Tokyo.
Yep!
True, but tbh I don't know if I really like the way Splatoon 3 looks yet
@Mohad Gamer 2022 actually
Yeah 😃
Imagine a few years ago being told that Nintendo would announce a game in which is set after humans have gone extinct due to the effects of global warming and the world has been thrown into a state of dismay, as giant deserts and wastelands spread across the Earth and then being told it's fish paintball.
That’s both the most and the least Nintendo thing ever
I mean like half of that describes pikmin, which also is set on earth in the far future
@@JohnSmith-wv5km but this time it’s squids, not little man
Thats Pikmin, except the last stuff about paint
It's actually a war that killed the humans

Bro the fact that they added the small details like a slit eyebrow and blendid colored eyes is so cool!!!!!
And the squid punching the spawner with the bucket xD

It's the third Splatoon in 5 years. It's hardly a surprise. Looks exactly like the other two.
Meanwhile other franchises are entirely neglected.
@@stevetattersall5933 Its a surprise because the fandom have been asking for it for ages and have lost hope about now.
Its also got a year of development ahead, are you really that surprised a teaser shows ported assets?
Ofc they're gonna tweak things up and we can see they already have to quite a large extent.
And just because the series mainstay turf wars are back doesnt mean the whole game is gonna be recycled modes.
As long as there's still ranked modes the comp community will be happy and I'll be happy regardless.
Frr I thought we would be stuck with 2 games until a new console

2 years… It has been 2 years ever since the release of Splatoon 3 and what an insane 2 years it has been. All the seasons have finished, Grand Run has just ended and we are nearing the event that will determine the future of Splatoon 4, Grand Festival. The past few years have been some of the most fun I’ve had, I’ve made some great memories, made a lot of friends through this game and just had so much fun with everything this game has to offer. Alterna was such a fun story mode, Big Run was some and Eggstra Work breathed new life into Salmon Run, Side Order was so fun and I even beat every weapon without hacks. While I like to look back and reminisce about everything in the past and wonder what the future may hold ultimately I like to live in the now. We can’t change the past and ultimately what determines the future is what we do today. I am going Team Present for the Grand Festival, everything I have done, everything I have worked for has led up to this moment. Good luck to all the teams and regardless of who wins I look forward to what Nintendo does for Splatoon 4. Thank you Nintendo, this series is a big part of my life and I’m glad to be able to play it ❤🦑!
