Hey everyone! Just curious, how many of you have played Splatoon 1? *EDIT* Somebody had pointed out that the Wii U was actually released 2012, after I had said 2011. First off, thanks so much for catching that mistake. I got mixed up because a Wii successor was ANNOUNCED in early 2011. Which ended up being the Wii U, but it was not officially released until late 2012. My intentions weren’t to confuse anyone and it was genuine mistake. Again, thanks to @RyneMcKinney for watching the video and keeping me on point.
As a splatoon 1 veteran this vid hit me straight in the heart with joy and nostalgia and id probably never be able to recover from this but since splatoon 1 is ending (online wise) this vid does a great job reflecting on how we got the franchise we all love and know today Great job joyconic
I remember my dad would rent games on the Wii U, and if we really liked one of them, he would maybe get it, and I LOVED splatoon, so as a surprise my dad got me it, and that was one of the most played games on my Wii U, then I got a switch, then splatoon 2, then splatoon 3, and now, Wii U services are shutting down, and I’ll never be able to play splatoon 1 online again. Thank you splatoon
i never had a wiiu of my own but my aunts had and still have a wiiu and ive always loved playing it when i went to their house- never played splat 1 on it but i played a lot of those Disney infinity games
I put so many hours into Splatoon 1, so to see this video explaining the history of how it started brought back a lot of bittersweet memories. Splatoon 3 has been a blast and I’m happy that it tries to be a mix of the old and the new through returning stages and Inkopolis!
Such a cool origin story for such an incredible franchise! Great work presenting everything. By the way, idk how you're managing to upload so consistently without sacrificing the quality of your work but you're doing great man!
Yeah, it really is! Thank you! Lol.. I pretty much spend any and all free time I have working on these videos. In case you can't tell, I'm pretty committed to this 😂
@@Joyconic That's inspiring dude ngl. Really happy to see your hard work is paying off too. You'll have 1k subs by the end of the month! Would you be open to doing a collab sometime btw? I don't want to interfere with your work flow though if that would be an issue. Doesn't have to be soon either, just want to work with more Splatoon creators this year
@@DekuGamer Ty so much for the kind words! I'd be open to doing a collab sometime! More on this however, I don't exactly know how things would pan out time wise, since I *do* have school. BUT regardless thank you so much for the offer! I'd love to do something if it all works out!
@@Joyconic Yeah I hear you, and completely understand. Funny enough things started piling up for me too since I asked lol. Still, if you have the time lmk dude! Definitely in the future. And if I could help with anything rn lmk too!
Man, it's kinda wild seeing how different and unfinished splatoon's premise was just weeks before they showed off the game for the first time. Splatoon's mechanics feel so unified and cohesive (shoot to paint the ground and swim through it, swim up walls, hide in ink, etc.), but we were so close to getting something completely different. Kinda makes sense now why ARMS did so poorly. Obviously Nintendo was hoping to replicate the success of Splatoon, but a large part of that was the disparate mechanics coming together last-minute to create this lightning-in-a-bottle idea for a game. With ARMS I think they were banking on that again and it just didn't happen.
I remember seeing the trailers for this game and i told my sister if she could get it for me, and she did and i loved the hell out of it. if it wasnt for her i wouldnt be a splatoon fan rn. Ive put tons and tons of hours in the first game and Itll always have a special place in my heart. Its gonna hit hard after the online shuts down.
I Recently got a wii u for my birthday at the end of january, i was excited to play splatoon, 2 days later i found out that nintendo was closing their wii u servers, seriously i felt so horrible, they were pretty much selling a scam at this point with the miiverse getting removed too, just because they arent promoting it anymore doesnt mean that they can just sell a product that is only half true at such a high price.
Awesome video, man!🦑🎨🐙 I had so many good memories with Splatoon back in summer of 2015. Around the beginning of summer 2015, my grandfather and I went to Walmart (if I remember correctly) to purchase Splatoon for my Wii-U, and it was awesome! I had a great time with Splatoon on my Nintendo Wii-U back then. But sadly though, around October 2018, I sold my Wii-U (alongside with their games) for a Xbox One X. I hate how Nintendo treats fans or older Nintendo consoles like garbage.
To think that my purchase of a Wii U so i could play Wind Waker HD because i never had a Gamecube when that came out ended up making me love Splatoon a whole lot. I still remember when it was revealed and i was like "Looks neat, not my kind of game though" and then the testfire happened and the moment it ended? Went straight to the mall to preorder the game at my local EBGames (When it was still called EBGames in Canada) and even got the shirt before the game came out. I've got 920 hours of play time racked up on Splatoon 1. Splatoon 2 gets announced, i preordered the game and i didn't even have a Switch at all! I got the Switch literally a month before Splatoon 2 came out and the second game was meh? Always felt like it was rushed to market and that Splatoon 3 is the better game to play.
I only got into Splatoon through the third game, and now its my favorite game. Ever. I've played Splatoon 1 and 2, but both briefly because I convinced myself to hate the series simply because it was a shooter. RPGs and platformers used to be the only games I wanted to play until i finally picked up Splatoon 3 in December of 2022. I immediately fell in love, and I am hoping to purchase Splatoon 2 second hand to play it a bit before it completely dies off, but also to play the single player campaigns. As for Splatoon 1, I might try to get it to work on an emulator using Pretendo servers once it shuts down so I can have some semblance of an experience
Thank you! Yeah, it’s called Alterna challenge level or something (idk lol) but here’s the link ruclips.net/video/Np8PpQoEVQE/видео.htmlsi=pNq8lV0yzSwrihxt (the song is at 27:02) :)
What if Nintendo decides to make a remaster version of splatoon 1, and for that they can hopefully hype all the splatoon 1 players again. How amazing would that be hmm?
Mario was a backup proposed when the game was shone to the higher ups if they couldn’t figure out something better than rabbits. Edit: you didn’t mention the caped person or the cursed squids. Edit 2: never mind you did get the cursed squids. Edit 3: the rock came with the clothes.
How dare I get a video ping during a... Oh wait it's a Joyconic upload! Edit: Team Friends... maybe I should continue crushing my opponents in the fest...
Now you have a very though decision to make; CALM DOWN with the wobbly shaky effect, or make it a staple of your channel. But in all seriousness I enjoyed the video. I didn’t get a chance to play splatoon because; 1 I didn’t own a WiiU, and 2 by the time I found out it existed splatoon 2 was out. 😞 it’s all good though. (Team solo ftw)
I never played the other games as much as the first, Mostly due to the community being kinda weird (or me just not being a kid anymore) And the lore being dumb. But I love me some splatoon 😂

I have but only the story mode. I don’t have a wii u so I used cemu
Also sadly played in the battledojo with two controllers by myself
I have! Very first one!
Me
The only splatoon 1 that I played was the expansion pass for splatoon 3 lol btw your videos are supper creative and you deserve more subs

Thank you splatoon
That's awesome :) Honestly, Splatoon was so much more than just a game to me
Dude, you’re criminally underrated, your editing is so good!
Appreciate it! Thank you so much! :D
I'm one of the few that love the Wii U. I think everyone owes it a debt of gratitude for giving us Splatoon.
Same here :( It’s unfortunate that the Wii U didn’t sell very well
i never had a wiiu of my own but my aunts had and still have a wiiu and ive always loved playing it when i went to their house- never played splat 1 on it but i played a lot of those Disney infinity games

Now we just need to make a splatoon 1 deluxe for the switch so it doesn’t fade into the void 😀 (it would make more money for Nintendo aswell)
Yeah that's a great point actually. I don't know how hard it'd be for Nintendo to just port Splatoon over to the switch and keep the servers up there.
imagine if instead of splatoon we got tofutoon or rabbitoon 💀
Imagine playing an intense round of Tofutoon with those duplo blocks 💀

That is pretty wild, considering the idea for splatoon began with tofu lol. That case for ARMS is probably true as well. Thanks for the comment!
@@Joyconic No problem! Thanks for the video, you did a great job on it
Splatoon will always be loved. You never really love something until its gone
Hope they make a 4th one for there next console
I remember seeing the trailers for this game and i told my sister if she could get it for me, and she did and i loved the hell out of it. if it wasnt for her i wouldnt be a splatoon fan rn.

You are really good for only having 685 subs!
Thank you!
The Wii U released in late 2012
Oh wow... You're right! That's embarrassing 😭 Thanks for pointing that out!
Love this video 💚
Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it! :D
Half of your life? this was 78% of my life
first the wii servers shutdown… NOW THE WII U?
😭😭😭
splatoon 1 was so amazimg,im so sad that we wpmt be able to play it in april :(
Yeah, it was great. I’m gonna be sad to see it go too :(

YOUR VOICE IS SO NICE
YOU ARE SO NICE TYYY
"We made a really fun game, didn't we?"
These are the words every game development studio should strive to say truthfully.
Now I wonder how the single player mode were created, how they came up with those ideas of octos and all that stuff
To think that my purchase of a Wii U so i could play Wind Waker HD because i never had a Gamecube when that came out ended up making me love Splatoon a whole lot.

I love the editing of this video! What editing software do you use?
Thank you Fryethusiast! (Awesome name btw, Frye is the BEST) I did all this in Adobe Premiere Pro :)

I had such good memories of splatoon... i miss my octobrush 😥. And splatoon being gone s a real wakeup call that im getting older. o7
Tysm appreciate it
7:39 why do people always insist that weekly updates are better than huge content drops every 3 months??
At least we still have 2 and 3 😅
I kind of enjoy the season based updates instead of weekly ones
I wish that we kept the design from 4:58
Amazing. Could please give the song u used for each in between part, I mean when the screen show #1 or #2 for example, I’m just wondering.

we have pretendo network
grinding the catalog rn so i can play splatoon 1 before the servers shut down😭🙌
lol me too 😭😭
banger 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you sir! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Beta64 has a video just like this but you did a great job summing it up 👍👍
Thanks! Yeah, his video was great!
What if Nintendo decides to make a remaster version of splatoon 1, and for that they can hopefully hype all the splatoon 1 players again. How amazing would that be hmm?
Yes! that would be amazing lol
Or better yet all three splatoon games in one for the next generation Nintendo console game?
i hope splatoon 4 comes out when im 18+ so i can do an allnighter at nintendo store waiting for the game's release
I just got the wii u but sadly mine is not connecting to the TV screen and for my bad luck this happens 😢
OH NOOOO 😭 Sorry about that! Hope you can get it fixed!

Im sad that no wi fi for splatoon 1 😢
Yeah, me too :(
This is gonna make Pokémon 3ds online players RIOT (including me ;-;)
Thomasgamedocs be like 💀 Still good vid nevertheless
Why do you do those rapid-fire single-worded captions for like 15 seconds and at random parts of the video? Why do people do that?
you edit like a person with 100k subs omg… how do you only have 700 subs
Hey I'm working on getting there! Thanks so much!
i mean it outsold the virtual boy :D

But I love me some splatoon 😂
Can’t NOT love splatoon lol

Thank you for your service

This is just rip off tomas game docs
