Decided to come back and watch this after the third game's trailer came out today. It's so fun to see how much this franchise has grown over the years.
I remember watching this back when the trailer first came out, I begged my dad to get me the game when it released and he decided to because Id been doing well in school. I remember playing for the first time, my first ever match was on camp triggerfish and I had so much fun just painting random things aimlessly. I love splatoon with all my heart
I got a Wii U for Christmas in 2014 because I wanted the newer console to play new games on, I mainly got it for Skylanders Trap Team and Disney Infinity 2.0 releasing that year. About 1 to 2 weeks before Splatoon came out, I saw the commercials/advertisements on TV, and I thought the game looked interesting. My mom even saw one of the commercials and said "you and your brother might like that game." So I went on RUclips and saw some of the trailers for the game, including this one, and I typically don't buy into hype for new IPs, but I was able to see that Splatoon had the potential to be something really special. There was a testfire before launch so that gave me the opportunity to try out the game, and I was having a great time and I was officially on the Splatoon hype train. My mom bought the game for me from Walmart during launch week, I started to main the Krak-On Splat Roller, and the rest is history as they say. I got a Switch in October 2017, making it the fastest I ever bought a new console, and it's also the first console I spent my own money on, and I bought Splatoon 2 as part of my first lineup of games for the console. Then, on to Splatoon 3, I was skeptical about it at first tbh. I felt like they should've waited until the next console to come out before they make Splatoon 3, but as time progressed, I warmed up to the idea of Splatoon 3 happening sooner than later. Once they showed the Salmon Run footage, I was officially on the hype train, and Splatoon 3 is one of the only games I ever pre-ordered. The game came out at a perfect time, where I could use a new game to play, and it also came out right before my 20th birthday, so it's like Splatoon 3 was the finale of my transition from teenage-hood to adult-hood. I'm here right now because I'm making a playlist of nostalgic stuff from my childhood. I'll probably be back to watch this again whenever the Final Splatfest for Splatoon 3 happens, to relive the journey of what I am now considering to be the greatest game trilogy of all time.
I don’t remember much from when I started the second game. But I do clearly remember playing with a Japanese dude named snowman on the conveyer belt whatever map. That dude is still on my friends list for whatever reason. Haven’t been able to sneak into their games because of time zones but it’s nice seeing a little Afro man hologram.
As you lay on your death bed, i remember the day you were born This single moment would splash my life with joy in many ways I wish you an eternal legacy and the biggest thank you for existing, Splatoon I will always remember you
Coming back here after Splatoon 3's final splatfest, this trailer is still such a masterpiece! Launching a brand new series that has endured for a decade with no signs of slowing down, all thanks to these funny little kids that are squids, WE SALUTE YOU SPLATOON!
Im here to pay respects to the game that started it all, in a months time its server will go away forever, thanks so much for all the memories splatoon 1 ill miss you
Now that Splatoon 3 is coming, this makes me even more nostalgic. We even have the Inkzooka back now! I remember the days when Miiverse was still a thing and I can even faintly remember years ago of when I was just getting into my first Splatoon match. I can't even believe that 2015 was 6 years ago.
Before The Expansion Before The Sequal Before The Last Splatfest Before The Salt Before The First Splatfest Before Launch Before The Testfire This, Was It.
I remember before I got the Wii U how fascinated I was with this game. This (and Wind Waker HD) were the main reasons of why I wanted a Wii U so badly. And now that it's come this far, it's amazing to see what Splatoon was like back in the day and to see the hype that was built around it.
Y'know I wasn't feeling it back when this was first announced, but 7 years later and we're all losing our minds at the announcement of the third one. Holy Jesus, how has it been that long?
A game nobody saw coming. A game nobody asked for. The kind of game that you never thought NIntendo would be capable of making. But in 2018 it still thrives, and proved itself a worthy adition to Nintendo's ever expanding roster of IPs.
@@leogames6880 bro nothing was aimed at you, you could have never typed this Down and we could both live our peaceful lives, but no, you come here and type something down that has nothing related to what we are talking about, go and actually get a life
I must admit, when they showed this game at E3 2014, I wasn't really interested. I was more hyped for Mario Kart 8. And then I got the game in July 2015. I have played it a lot ever since.
This honestly looks like one of the best games coming out of E3 so far. Colorful, frantic, multiplayer action... to me, this is all the things that make gaming fun, wrapped up into one package that also has squids. This is a day 1 buy for me.
Well we dunno yet. People are saying nintendo has sent pics as teasers. Like an Omen to splatoon3. If splatoon3 is a game, hopefully the squid sisters come back and do the best thing ever
A Piece of cake I want to buy splatoon 2 as a birthday present to my brother. Is that now a stupid idea or will splatoon 3 take a while anyway (if it is even confirmed)
@@kaktuskatze8212 idk dude, people were saying splatoon 3 would be released in about a year. So maybe get splatoon 2, sounds like a not so stupid idea.
I'm genuinely wonder how many people are going to come back after seeing the Splatoon 3 trailer watch this get put in everyone's recommended I'm just coming back for a nostalgic Trip Man
Haven’t played Splatoon 1, but I remember my first match, I was up until dawn, because I loved how the game was so simple yet so complex. Splatoon is probably the best game I’ve played before.
i literally still cannot believe i fell for this damn squid game that i blew off 2 years ago. i still regret not being around when it first started, especially because i was listening when it was first announced.
I might be wrong here, but I remember the best reactions for this announcement at the time being among the lines of "OK, that's interesting." A lot of people didn't think much of this, I even remember some thinking it looked like an eShop game. I got pretty excited after they showed more of it, but even then, I didn't think it would go far. It was a Wii U game with a pretty out there concept, odds were stacked against it being successful. And here we are now, it's one of Nintendo's biggest franchises. You love to see it.
Same actually, I remember watching this E3 with some friends and we all were ''Hey, it looks fun and the concept is a pretty original spin on a third person shooter'', but nothing more than that. We were not super hyped or anything else. Cue a year later and I bought a Wii U just for Splatoon after trying their copy out.
I'm probably one of the few people who, from the first trailer, felt this was going to be big. Same thing when the first trailer for Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse came out - most people liked it but didn't think much of it, and there I was losing my mind having this gut feeling that it would change the industry (and it did). I don't like being the one annoying "I told you so" person... but I'd be lying if I didn't say my intuition about these things is rarely wrong.
@@doomrider7 It didn't, though ? The first Splatoon is so campy has so much charm, most people look back at it fondly. It heavily reminds me of the Gamecube era.
Oh, how far it’s come. From a wild, unconventional new idea to ushering in an installment of one of Nintendo’s most acclaimed franchises. I love this game, and I hope it always stays fresh.
Damn I want this game... I haven't seen a fun shooter like this since TF2. I don't know why people are complaining about Nintendo lacking fresh IP's after this showed up!
matt4045 Yeah I know, but when almost all of the biggest games on the console meet the standard, no one should complain about the graphics since they are literally just incorrect in what they say. Those PC fanboys ranting on about how "ugh, consoles suck! They can't even run 1080p, 60 fps! PC MASTER RACE PEASANTS!" It is quite annoying considering they are completely false.
You’re a kid, you’re a squid, You’re a kid, you’re a squid, You’re a kid, you’re a squid, You’re a kid, you’re a squid, You’re a kid, you’re a squid, You’re a kid, you’re a squid, You’re a kid, you’re a squid, You’re a kid, you’re a squid, You’re a kid, you’re a squid,
One more to note, Walleye Warehouse had climbable crates, it would had been really easy to ambush chargers then. It was good thing it WAS 10% complete and Nintendo didn't pull a Ubisoft.
As of me writing this comment, Splatoon 1’s servers will be shutting down in just a few days. I cannot begin to describe how much this game series has impacted my life. I love this game with all my heart and it’s sad to see it go. I’ve met countless of people and made many friends throughout this series. From the moment I saw this trailer when I was 10 years old I knew it was something special. Although my time with the first game was short, it has cemented my love for the series as a whole. I got a Switch primarily for Splatoon 2. I bought Smash Ultimate just because Inkling was going to be a character. I even played the whole 12 hours of the Splatoon 3 Splatfest premiere and got Splatoon 3 the second it was released in my state. I’m trying really hard not to cry while typing this and it may be strange to some but this game is a big part of my life. Goodbye Splatoon 1, you’ll be gone but never forgotten ❤.
DittoMaster6 I will say, it would be nice to chat with friends on my friend list like in Smash and Mario Kart, but for online, I don't think it's necessary at all.
To reflect on how far we've come. What once was "lol funny squidkid game go paint stuff" is now "France is dead, chaos is officially law, salmons are in need of salvation"
looking back to people predicting it would do badly before launch and now seeing the series with two multi million selling games . Well done Splatoon .
It's been 8, almost 9 years since splatoon 1 came out. Hearing its servers shutting down tonight is nothing short of depressing. I remember getting this game during 2015 and my wii u and other games with it. And i sadly can't play one last turf war. But if there's one thing i can do, it's sharing these memories with many splatoon 1 fans like me and come together one last time. To fans, it's going to be a long and hard goodbye. But we are greatful for everything we've gotten. So let us cherish these final hours together shall we? And most importantly, thank you Shintaro Sato for blessing us with one of the greatest video games of all time. You truly are the freshest man ever
You know what's the best part of having a new Nintendo IP? , imagining all of the crazy combos that the characters in it could have in a future Smash Bros. Just imagine one of those Inklings using those paint powers and turning into a squid. So awesome.
Hmmm... -Singleplayer, Online/Offline Multiplayer -Cool concept -Nintendo -Exclusive -ORIGINAL (most important thing on this list, it's not a generic brown and grey FPS) This is better than people think.
MegaDrake47 You forgot the large amount of 10 year olds playing cod. You also forgot the 70% consumer base for pokemon that is High School or over, whic is a game constantly referred to as a kid game...
This is why I'm not worried about the final game. Anyone worrying about the visuals have to realize the game is not even coming out until Summer. Things are going to be polished.
***** But... but haven't you heard about the new Call of Duty 2,678: Bloody Toes? I hear they've added one new gun from 2,677 which is the standard assault rifle but with a shinier metal, and a new map! It's only $109.99, you'd better get it if you want to be a real gamer! ...yeah, Splatoon actually looks innovative. =D
***** The thing with this game, is that there is heavy focus on needing to use the gamepad for normal play. Maybe Nintendo is finally keeping to their promise of being able to use 2 gamepads per console, so to include local co-op for games such as this..? Also, I'm not saying that local co-op isn't likely, just keeping in mind what the developers have said about the game.
To think that back at one point, people were doubting this game and how successful it would be... Yet only a short while ago we saw the Smash teaser, with the inklings in a recreated version of this teaser's introduction and imminent joining of the Smash roster.
I never doubted this game. I actually have a debate with a person who thought bloodborne would out sell this. Needless to say I ended winning that debate.
I played this game when I was 8. Now I’m 16 turning 17 in this year and this breaks my heart that seeing this game already shutdown. This game was my childhood, I got this game when it was my birthday on 2015 and played it with my sister cuz she was obsessed with this game. I remember playing the Gobal Testfire when it was out. Now this game is already gone, R.I.P Splatoon1. Thank you for everything….!!!! :((((
reading this on the last day of splatoon 1 right now, literally brought tears to my eyes. thank you for everything splatoon you were great, we'll miss you.
(Longer comment ahead) Sadly I never owned a Wii U. And even when I got myself a Switch I also never played Splatoon 2. I did however get Splatoon 3 when that game released. And with the Grand Fest happening this weekend I keep thinking about this trailer. While I didn't play this game myself I did watch LPs of the story mode and general online matches. Same with Splatoon 2. And I really liked it. But what I remember the most was when I visited my older sister back in 2014. She was all happy and giddy and told me about this new Nintendo game and how cool it was. She then dragged me into her room to her computer and showed me this exact trailer. And It just stuck with me. Reminding me of simpler times back when I was a kid, waiting for this game to come out where you were a squid. It was sad to hear that the plug was being pulled on this game. And I'm sure many who had a copy went back to maybe play a match or two again. This franchise may not be an old one, but it has claimed a spot as one of Nintendo's iconic IPs and also in many of our hearts. And now I'm finally catching up with Splatoon 3. Not as a kid but as an adult. I joined Team Past in the Grand Fest. Because of reasons like these. Like this game. It reminds me of the better things. My childhood.
truth be told, i had absolutely NO idea this game existed until my mom bought it for me right after my fifth birthday. i know i was young but i was so hooked to this game, and to think that we're already on our third game is insane. i love splatoon so much :)
Man, I haven't played any Splatoon game in years. That being said, the memories of this game make the lag and glitches worth it. The splatfests, the memes like Splat Tim, 'i wish squids were real', etc. This game is one of, If not the best game for the Wii U. You made 9-10 year old me very happy. RIP 2015-2024.
writing this as my friends Egomouse, Kobalent, and Ryadge and i cling onto the final minutes of this game. i’m very thankful for this game and its impact it has had on my life. goodbye splatoon 1, you were one great game ✌🏽
Agent Sarah I literally have been binging on watching splatoon 2 trailers and Nintendo switch trailers basically 90 percent of my life.... 10 percent actually playing Splatoon lmao😂😂😂
This was legitimately one of the first games I was ever hyped about. I can't believe the third one is already coming out. It feels like yesterday I would rewatch these Splatoon trailers over and over again.
Yo same, I wanted splatoon 1 so bad before it came out, but I never ended up getting it. My first splatoon game was splatoon 2, and I only got splatoon 2 less than a year ago. To think that third game is coming out so soon...
Decided to come back and watch this after the third game's trailer came out today. It's so fun to see how much this franchise has grown over the years.

@@doomrider7 It didn't, though ? The first Splatoon is so campy has so much charm, most people look back at it fondly. It heavily reminds me of the Gamecube era.
I remember when if you were level 20 you were a god.
I didn't know you played Splatoon, Ralsei!
Yeh
I've had splatoon 2 since it released and im level 17
I played splatoon since 2016 and I’m *level 30 now*
Omg I remember that too everyone thought that A rank was the REAL DEAL
Oh, how far it’s come. From a wild, unconventional new idea to ushering in an installment of one of Nintendo’s most acclaimed franchises. I love this game, and I hope it always stays fresh.

Damn I want this game... I haven't seen a fun shooter like this since TF2.
I don't know why people are complaining about Nintendo lacking fresh IP's after this showed up!
matt4045 Yeah I know, but when almost all of the biggest games on the console meet the standard, no one should complain about the graphics since they are literally just incorrect in what they say. Those PC fanboys ranting on about how "ugh, consoles suck! They can't even run 1080p, 60 fps! PC MASTER RACE PEASANTS!" It is quite annoying considering they are completely false.
Spin793 That isn't the only reason PCs are better.
Markurrito Performance is the biggest advantage it has.
Markurrito Did I say it was? And yeah, matt4045 statement is correct, that is what people seem to care about most.
_AND IT EVEN HAS _*_HATS!_*
Really sweet to see the game’s old players come together one last time and, for once, massively reduce matching times. We’re all going to miss it. ❤

@@camoking3605 U rasist?
Still crazy that the game was only 10% done when this trailer was out.
Also wish they kept those some of those old stage versions.
rfh
Believe me, you wouldn't. Upon closer inspection, these maps were barely balanced. Just look how closed off beta Arowana Mall was.
+solitonmedic Yeah, you're right.
One more to note, Walleye Warehouse had climbable crates, it would had been really easy to ambush chargers then.
It was good thing it WAS 10% complete and Nintendo didn't pull a Ubisoft.
+solitonmedic i dont understand
If u listen clearly at 1:16 the inkling girl make a sound that was only used for the boy
ha yes
It's called being transgender...
Yeah that makes sense
It wasnt the voice of the boy I listened clearly and after she says woomy she says the same woomy but louder

This is completely different now. Can’t believe it’s gone
Who knew it would end up being the Wii U's best game.
ooq

*Cough* Xenoblade X
Hey its still a good game tho
phubans It was good, it not the best. I would say the best is either Zelda Breath of the Wild or Smash Bros.
Still better than COD
Just beta Walleye Warehouse.

Hi
I like your game👮🏿
As of me writing this comment, Splatoon 1’s servers will be shutting down in just a few days. I cannot begin to describe how much this game series has impacted my life. I love this game with all my heart and it’s sad to see it go. I’ve met countless of people and made many friends throughout this series. From the moment I saw this trailer when I was 10 years old I knew it was something special. Although my time with the first game was short, it has cemented my love for the series as a whole. I got a Switch primarily for Splatoon 2. I bought Smash Ultimate just because Inkling was going to be a character. I even played the whole 12 hours of the Splatoon 3 Splatfest premiere and got Splatoon 3 the second it was released in my state. I’m trying really hard not to cry while typing this and it may be strange to some but this game is a big part of my life. Goodbye Splatoon 1, you’ll be gone but never forgotten ❤.
Starting to feel like the only one OK with no voice chat.
I'm ok with it too
DittoMaster6 I know, why do i read youtube comments
DittoMaster6 I will say, it would be nice to chat with friends on my friend list like in Smash and Mario Kart, but for online, I don't think it's necessary at all.
I am fine with it too
I'm not effected ether
1:11
"Wait, that's illegal."
It’s because you couldn’t normally go up the container
I was thinking the same thing
@Lewis CAVOLO salim
They should allow us to play the original designs of the stages

10 years later i love this game just as much
Nintendo made a shooter that is original and not bland?
SOLD
Nintendo made a shooter......words no one would've ever thought would be arranged in that order in a single sentence.
***** Good point. I suppose that does count.
what happened to my comment?
***** I think it is classified FPA first person adventure. We could still call it a shooter...I guess.
***** I dunno, I consider Metroid Prime more of an adventure/puzzle game than a run and gun shooter...
Splatoon 3 is coming out in 3 days.
Coming back to this makes me feel all nostalgic.
It‘s truly wonderful to see how this franchise has grown!
Happy birthday splatoon!!! I hope this game will continue giving us memorable memories. Thanks you :'3
Up ppl lol
“memorable memories”
HOPPY BORTDAY
Splatoon 3: let me introduce myself
yeah, this game looks pretty cool, i hope we get a sequel, maybe even a trilogy
Dude, this is 2022. The II and III are already out.
@@kellydickinson2724 you missed the joke, genius.
i hope we also get dlc for future games, who knows
@@kellydickinson2724 I think he meant like a trilogy box
And solid example would be Crash Bandicoot N sane

An innovative and unique Multiplayer Shooter

That's RUclips for ya
To reflect on how far we've come. What once was "lol funny squidkid game go paint stuff" is now "France is dead, chaos is officially law, salmons are in need of salvation"
Whenever I watch a trailer for something I always see older trailers pop up on the side bar, I love going back and feeling the hype again
youtube be lookin like a gigachad again
looking back to people predicting it would do badly before launch and now seeing the series with two multi million selling games . Well done Splatoon .
bro im gonna cry splatoon is 10 now
To think most people predicted this game to be a failure, and now the second game is nearing it's end with the possibility of a third one
Its the 6th best selling game on the console. And its successor is the 8th best selling switch game. These people feel stupid now lol.
look no more
3rd game here we come
And now the third game has been announced people who thought this game was going to be a failure are dead wrong now

It's been 8, almost 9 years since splatoon 1 came out. Hearing its servers shutting down tonight is nothing short of depressing. I remember getting this game during 2015 and my wii u and other games with it. And i sadly can't play one last turf war. But if there's one thing i can do, it's sharing these memories with many splatoon 1 fans like me and come together one last time. To fans, it's going to be a long and hard goodbye. But we are greatful for everything we've gotten. So let us cherish these final hours together shall we? And most importantly, thank you Shintaro Sato for blessing us with one of the greatest video games of all time. You truly are the freshest man ever
You know what's the best part of having a new Nintendo IP? , imagining all of the crazy combos that the characters in it could have in a future Smash Bros. Just imagine one of those Inklings using those paint powers and turning into a squid. So awesome.
You were right 😂
Hmmm...
-Singleplayer, Online/Offline Multiplayer
-Cool concept
-Nintendo
-Exclusive
-ORIGINAL (most important thing on this list, it's not a generic brown and grey FPS)
This is better than people think.
You forgot kiddy.
MegaDrake47
So...?
Does bloody make a game better, and kiddy make a game worse? Nope.
MegaDrake47 You forgot the large amount of 10 year olds playing cod. You also forgot the 70% consumer base for pokemon that is High School or over, whic is a game constantly referred to as a kid game...
@@MegaDrake47👴
Wow, you were very right.
I wonder if Nintendo had any idea how huge this franchise would become only a couple years later.
I will forever be thankful for Splatoon! It's so sweet seeing how far it has come after all these years. I can't wait for Splatoon 3 🥺
Who came back after the Nintendo Switch
Edit: Damn thanks for 1k likes!

absulutly not the same splatoon that we have today xD
Let's hope something similar happens with Splatoon 2. I'm not saying it's bad, just that they'll improve on what they've shown.
Theoravioli le ravioli Seriously. I never thought that I would end up playing it, and now it's one of my favorite games ever
This is why I'm not worried about the final game. Anyone worrying about the visuals have to realize the game is not even coming out until Summer. Things are going to be polished.
Geckos and Games yes it's sooo good and I can't wait for splatoon 2!
Do you mean splatoon 2 or just splatooon till day
Nintendo just released the Grand Fest music, I just had to rewatch this
Damn, this looks cool! Finally a fresh game IP that innovates and isn't another military shooter. I hope this game supports multiplayer!
It's 4 vs 4 online multiplayer. Not sure if you can have more than one person playing at a single console though.
*****
But... but haven't you heard about the new Call of Duty 2,678: Bloody Toes? I hear they've added one new gun from 2,677 which is the standard assault rifle but with a shinier metal, and a new map! It's only $109.99, you'd better get it if you want to be a real gamer!
...yeah, Splatoon actually looks innovative. =D
Paint nuke though ;)
*****
The thing with this game, is that there is heavy focus on needing to use the gamepad for normal play. Maybe Nintendo is finally keeping to their promise of being able to use 2 gamepads per console, so to include local co-op for games such as this..?
Also, I'm not saying that local co-op isn't likely, just keeping in mind what the developers have said about the game.
I don't even play shooter games, but this one looks really cool and fun. Really creative mechanics.
Sad knowing that I won't be able to play this anymore come 2024. Rip spaltoon , one of my favorite games of all time
This trailer: Fun game where you ink turf
Reality: 'GET ON THE DAMN TOWER', 'ACTUALLY PICK UP THE RAINMAKER', 'WHY DOES MY TEAM SUCK?!'
Haha I feel ya
I feel ya
yes i understand you i understand
Rip man, im boutta cry, watching my childhood fall before me
To think that back at one point, people were doubting this game and how successful it would be...
Yet only a short while ago we saw the Smash teaser, with the inklings in a recreated version of this teaser's introduction and imminent joining of the Smash roster.
blessed volty n
I never doubted this game. I actually have a debate with a person who thought bloodborne would out sell this. Needless to say I ended winning that debate.
I never doubted it
Well here is your new IP guys!! everyone wanted one and you got it!! this looks very unique!!
And it was.
I played this game when I was 8. Now I’m 16 turning 17 in this year and this breaks my heart that seeing this game already shutdown. This game was my childhood, I got this game when it was my birthday on 2015 and played it with my sister cuz she was obsessed with this game. I remember playing the Gobal Testfire when it was out. Now this game is already gone, R.I.P Splatoon1. Thank you for everything….!!!! :((((
Have you heard of Pretendo? It's a fan server replacement. You can mod that to your Wii U so you can still play the original
@@Itz_skyskipper9000 yep I do! I’m doing that tomorrow.
reading this on the last day of splatoon 1 right now, literally brought tears to my eyes. thank you for everything splatoon you were great, we'll miss you.
Rest in peace splatoon 😔
It's amazing how a game that game out with very little content grow to become one of the most successful shooters ever!

Are you talking about COD?
+Reggie Fils-Aimé I read it with your voice, I will buy it !
*came
Where's your body!
Hard to imagine this being only 10% done when this trailer was made.
Only 20% was done when the game came out.
Meditation
Looking back at splatoon 1, this game was honestly a massive gamble, and the fact that we got 2 more games (so far) is insane.
One year later...
2 years*
one year...
It's 2016, trailer is 2014
These are just trailers the game came out 2015
No, Your wrong i'ts very fun :3
(Longer comment ahead)
Sadly I never owned a Wii U. And even when I got myself a Switch I also never played Splatoon 2.
I did however get Splatoon 3 when that game released. And with the Grand Fest happening this weekend I keep thinking about this trailer.
While I didn't play this game myself I did watch LPs of the story mode and general online matches. Same with Splatoon 2. And I really liked it.
But what I remember the most was when I visited my older sister back in 2014. She was all happy and giddy and told me about this new Nintendo game and how cool it was. She then dragged me into her room to her computer and showed me this exact trailer.
And It just stuck with me. Reminding me of simpler times back when I was a kid, waiting for this game to come out where you were a squid.
It was sad to hear that the plug was being pulled on this game. And I'm sure many who had a copy went back to maybe play a match or two again.
This franchise may not be an old one, but it has claimed a spot as one of Nintendo's iconic IPs and also in many of our hearts.
And now I'm finally catching up with Splatoon 3.
Not as a kid but as an adult.
I joined Team Past in the Grand Fest. Because of reasons like these. Like this game. It reminds me of the better things.
My childhood.
Happy to hear that. Games will always be great, and congrats as Team Past won!
truth be told, i had absolutely NO idea this game existed until my mom bought it for me right after my fifth birthday. i know i was young but i was so hooked to this game, and to think that we're already on our third game is insane. i love splatoon so much :)
Man, I haven't played any Splatoon game in years.
That being said, the memories of this game make the lag and glitches worth it. The splatfests, the memes like Splat Tim, 'i wish squids were real', etc. This game is one of, If not the best game for the Wii U.
You made 9-10 year old me very happy.
RIP 2015-2024.
Man this brings back memories...
thanks
Really bring back memories
You jerks! Mario has to clean all that up!

Came back after watching their Smash reveal trailer... *My little squiddos have come a long way... ;)*
This was legitimately one of the first games I was ever hyped about. I can't believe the third one is already coming out. It feels like yesterday I would rewatch these Splatoon trailers over and over again.
Yo same, I wanted splatoon 1 so bad before it came out, but I never ended up getting it. My first splatoon game was splatoon 2, and I only got splatoon 2 less than a year ago. To think that third game is coming out so soon...
It really does feel like this trailer came out yesterday when in reality it was like seven years ago I feel old now
Goodbye Splatoon. Thank you for 9 years of inktastic memories. Stay fresh
