I’m not sure any story mode could top off what this DLC achieved. I think the reason why it was peak was because the lore of it continued in real time after you beat the expansion. Every player using the octoling online fits into the narrative of them coming to the surface which is just perfect. I have high hopes for Splatoon 3’s dlc but I’m also 100% content with ranking Octo Expansion as my #1 story experience forever lol EDIT: SIDE ORDER HYPE!!! FROM THE TRAILER ITS ALREADY LOOKING TO LIVE UP TO OCTO EXPANSION. IDK I JUST FEEL IT
Ik there was something so cool about seeing other octolings in splatoon 2 it felt like my character knew what they went through if you know what I’m trying to say 😂
Seeing everything that we have about Octo Expansion so far, coming back to this trailer makes a lot of sense. Just knowing that playable octolings had been in development has me shook.
Is no one gonna talk about how many 80's/90's references there were I mean, 'cmon! The technology the passengers have, the neon lights, the colors of the ink, the music, the text style, the way Pearl and Marina are dressed, and the station names, I loved it so much!!
Tips for this expansion -Stay Alert -Don’t break the Switch from frustration -Shake your fist in rage cause of CQ Cumber -Careful when you fight yourself -Don’t trust the Phone.....
I remember the day this trailer came out, and chills ran over my body in excitement. Now watching the Splatoon 3 trailer for the 20th time today, I'm just so joyous for Nintendo making this game. Thank you
I looked into all the game's composers and I think Shiho Fujii & Ryo Nagamatsu are the big guns on the team. Nagamatsu composed the entire soundtracks for wii sports resort and mariokart wii, and i beleive Fujii's background in many genres of music helped give this game the huge diversity of styles.
*That moment when A Nintendo game about kids fighting over witch color to paint the floor has a better explanation then anything Destiny 2 could come out with*
@@falcoflare8206 LOL it took me *never* cause my sister bought it and it wouldn’t even work on her switch for some reason disappointing reality but yep
Tips for the expansion: In the very beginning of the game, when you first meet the phone, break it off the ground and destroy it. Then you should get on the train and kill C.Q. Cumber. Then, go to the first level, throw C.Q.'s body as a distraction to the octolings, and run. Then break the wall and go through the next level, throwing something else and continuing. At the end, when you see the blender, immediately grab the hardest and most durable thing you can find around you and throw it at the blender. If that doesn't work, shoot it or throw a weapon until it breaks, then climb to the top of it and break through the ceiling, where you will see Agent 3 hiding in the roof. Grab them and have them help you dig yourselves out, saving both of you and getting to the surface.
Mario Zelda Pokemon Splatoon yep, these 4. Maybe a 5th franchise, an old one, will get revitalised to the point of big sales, one of these days. That would be nice. By which I mean Metroid Prime 4 is still in development for Nintendo Switch as we speak and I hope it sells billions and millions.
Mario is seriously overrated i can see how it was a great game at the time and it's still an all around good game now but its seriously overrated its not actually special in anyway splatoon has incredibly unique mechanics & zelda's masive open word was well executed but mario is just jump on enemies heads, a mechanic that i personally find somewhat frustrating and a bit finicky yes ik odyssey has the whole inhibiting enemies body thing but kirby south already does that
"The first paid DLC is coming to Splatoon 2 this summer" Wait, hold on... The *first?* There could be *MORE?* Honestly... I'd love that to be a thing... It would keep the game alive for so long... I'M WAY TOO HYPED RN
Anything added to to Salmon Run is very welcome. Right now it's still a LITTLE bit bare bones with only 4 stages. There's so much they could add to it. Not just more stages, but also new music, new Salmonids, new modes etc.
I was in eighth grade when this game came out. Now I’m about to enter college. This game changed who i am and I would not be me without it. Thanks Nintendo < 3
If you are upset about paying for this, than think about this: after all the free maps and weapons that Nintendo gave us, would you really be upset about Nintendo?
Return of the Mammalians was great, but Octo Expansion was what proved that Splatoon’s single player-campaigns can actually be engaging and more than just a casual little something that’s tacked on. - Eight is the most fleshed out protagonist we’ve ever gotten in the series to date. Not only are they the first playable character to have a first person camera view, but there’s a whole lot of insight from all the poems they write for the Mem cakes. It feels like they’re speaking real dialogue through subtle means. - Marina’s Chat Room gave us more moments in between with Pearl and Marina that expand on their characters and reveal things that we haven’t actually heard before. There’s a real, actual form of authentic engagement between characters instead of just the occasional snarky commentary and the bits of text we get from pressing the A button near a character. - The story is just so much more engaging overall. Rather than just a simple affair of falling into a grate and being told to save the world, we get a tale of an Octopus girl who’s lost all of their memories, longs to reach the surface and uncovers a closeted conspiracy about a genocidal telephone running an operation where living creatures have their bodies blended into green sludge, which is then pumped and injected into other living creatures to “sanitize” them of their free will, and used to power a weapon of mass destruction, all in the name of humanity. Eight nearly ended up being blended into that very same sludge, and Three even experienced the process of sanitization with their mind hijacked by a translucent, green tentacle. When all is said and done, we get to look at the sunset as the credits roll, and celebrate the victory of finally reaching the surface. If Nintendo can only provide us with an engaging form of storytelling in Splatoon through DLC, then I’m willing to jump on that train.
I just thought of something. You know how Marie said that Agent 3 was off with Captain Cuttlefish in the beginning of story mode? This is that, because Agent 3 and Captain Cuttlefish are there.
I just don't get smash. It's decent and I like it, but I can't understand why people jump and rave upon hearing its name. At best it's just a 12+ version of Team Kirby Clash DX but with characters from multiple franchises and companies. Maybe it's the same as how smash players don't get a game where we run around shooting ink at the ground to win.
It's a fun brawler with all your favorite characters, and it's suprisingly complex if you want to get actually into it. Like, competitive Street Fighter kind of complex. If you want. If not it's just a game where Link beats up Mario and Pikachu. And getting the INklings in there looks like it will be even better.
We've finally crossed the Paid DLC threshold, and it actually seems to be well worthwhile in this case. While I would have been irked if they were just introducing Octolings and themed gear, the inclusion of a new story mode completely justifies $20 to me.
Harry Beaven for 20 dollars. To be honest I don't even want playable Octonlings. They are supposed to be villains. Plus agent 8 doesn't even look like an Octonling like in splatoon 1. It just looks like a new hairstyle.
Thisisthecat 377 I do gotta agree, there is a new campaign. It used to just be hero mode... It got boring.. But this new campaign is actually a pretty good idea.
So... anybody else notice how Pearl resembles The Notorious B.I.G and Marina resembles Tupac Shakur in terms of fashion sense, right? Next thing you know people are gonna start cracking jokes about how this is "Straight Outta Octon".
Given how hard the stages look and the fact that this is a $20 DLC you'll definitely know that if you see an Octoling on the other team they mean business and are probably about to wipe the floor with you if you aren't ready.
i cried here. Everything looks so cool. The fact we can play as an Octoling. the singers returning. teaser at a good story. omg. Its really glorious and i cant. new bosses. im really tearing up here
All i hope is that octolings we play as get bigger hair styles. No really its way too small. Also bigger eye shadows like how marina has, other than that im fine
DoLan I was also debating this, but i think they did it to have an easier way to let the octolings fit all the clothing thats already sized to inklings. maybe they might add free updates to the dlc, like more hairstyles, bc i only saw 1 for each (boy and girl)
AMIIBOS I WANT FROM THIS!: 1.The octoling girl and boy 2.Cap'n cuttlefish 3.the (what I believe to be) inverse colored true octolings. Nintendo you have my idea now,make it happen Like if you at least want the playable octoling AMIIBOS.
nm just looping the trailer cuz this song is lit. also what does a boy octoling sound like i wonder. im going to play as one sometimes once i beat this dlc(hopefully i suck at single players)
Narson03 When I said that all of my free time is gone, I meant that I need to catch up on all of the content I missed over the pass few months so I can be ready to grind on this expansion when it drops this summer.
Herminia's world Enid Fowler they confirmed it in the direct, not directly but look at the multiplayer footage and you'll see a male octoling with a mohawk
80 stages and more for 20 us dollars, honestly if you are complaining i think you are a lost cause. They been hard at work releasing free content and honestly if they half assed this, i would have said ok too. But god damn this is really good deal. Oh and i have to pay more, since am outside us, so you really shouldnt be complaining.
Max I was initially put off by the price tag too, but when I saw there were going to be 80 stages I was sold. I mean the main Splatoon 2 campaign had 27 + 5 bosses and that was all a lot of fun, especially if you 100%'d it to collect all the Scrolls and sardine collectibles. Assuming the levels are the same length as the main campaign, and there are collectibles in each, it'll easily be worth $20
-Step genre music -Dilapidated settings -A minority species -Literally an underground railroad Nintendo does their research! Really looking forward to this story line!
I still get chills every time I watch this. The music is a bop, and nothing will quite compare to the hype I felt the day this came out and realized this meant playable octolings.
I know this might've been a LITTLE overshadowed by smash but this is one of the best DLC trailers I've ever witnessed and one of the best trailers Nintendo put out. The atmoshere and music is badass and i cannot wait to pick this up.
Remember when I first saw this back in 7th grade I was freaking tf out I must’ve watched this trailer over 100 times. The splatoons franchise has been a major part of my life since the first game
When the “squid research lab” guy starts explaining after the trailer, you see the name of the blob, apparently his name is C.Q Cumber I think he’s a sea cucumber
I remember when I first watched this. I would listen to this on a loop for hours during school. The experience of the actual dlc was fun, difficult and anger enduring all at once. I loved it.
even more cheaper when I used my gold coins on it. Got about $5 off total. Though for some reason I got no gold coins for my zelda game. Saying it expired even though I bought the explorer edition and this is after buying half of my games which I could still get coins with.
Gamemaster64 the game is now 1 year old and if you have the physical version they do not let you have the gold points if the game is 1 year old for some reason
Remember when everyone was losing their minds over this? I feel old.
DigglesGiggles me too 🥺
Kinda. It’s been only 2 years but it feels like forever
I'm losing my mind right now
Me too once I beat I was shock thinking I couldn’t do it and then my tv killed my switch 🥺
kitty well my tv fell on my switch and crush it
I’m not sure any story mode could top off what this DLC achieved. I think the reason why it was peak was because the lore of it continued in real time after you beat the expansion.

Splatoon is actually amazing. Aside from Mario, Zelda etc. I think it's really become a face of modern Nintendo
I agree. I think it's safe to say that the Splatoon series will become one of Nintendo's biggest franchises (like Mario and Zelda games).
Mario
Zelda
Pokemon
Splatoon
yep, these 4. Maybe a 5th franchise, an old one, will get revitalised to the point of big sales, one of these days. That would be nice.

Return of the Mammalians was great, but Octo Expansion was what proved that Splatoon’s single player-campaigns can actually be engaging and more than just a casual little something that’s tacked on.
- Eight is the most fleshed out protagonist we’ve ever gotten in the series to date. Not only are they the first playable character to have a first person camera view, but there’s a whole lot of insight from all the poems they write for the Mem cakes. It feels like they’re speaking real dialogue through subtle means.
- Marina’s Chat Room gave us more moments in between with Pearl and Marina that expand on their characters and reveal things that we haven’t actually heard before. There’s a real, actual form of authentic engagement between characters instead of just the occasional snarky commentary and the bits of text we get from pressing the A button near a character.
- The story is just so much more engaging overall. Rather than just a simple affair of falling into a grate and being told to save the world, we get a tale of an Octopus girl who’s lost all of their memories, longs to reach the surface and uncovers a closeted conspiracy about a genocidal telephone running an operation where living creatures have their bodies blended into green sludge, which is then pumped and injected into other living creatures to “sanitize” them of their free will, and used to power a weapon of mass destruction, all in the name of humanity. Eight nearly ended up being blended into that very same sludge, and Three even experienced the process of sanitization with their mind hijacked by a translucent, green tentacle. When all is said and done, we get to look at the sunset as the credits roll, and celebrate the victory of finally reaching the surface.

Me: You bought that too?(struggles to insert $20 into an Octo Expansion vending machine)
*Yeah well what else are you gonna do with them? Pay for rent? Psh!*
Heh lol
So your life’s savings is 20 bucks?
I love how the octo expansion takes like a sort of 80s turn on music and design and stuff instead of the modern take with the rest of the game.
We've finally crossed the Paid DLC threshold, and it actually seems to be well worthwhile in this case. While I would have been irked if they were just introducing Octolings and themed gear, the inclusion of a new story mode completely justifies $20 to me.
SonofMrPeanut well at this point it's like Splatoon 2 1/2
Also the Direct said that completing it would unlock playable Octolings for multiplayer.
There's also 80 new stages in the new story mode. It's intense. Definitely worth $20
80 missions, not 80 stages
Are you talking about splatoon in particular? Because paid dlc isnt new for Nintendo.
I don't speak squid but you don't have to know to tell they're spitting straight fire
Okay Alright 0:57 listen with headphones and you'll hear Pearl spit
We did it guys. After two and a half years, we finally did it.
[1:09] *AGENT 3.*
I beat the most powerful inkling on earth for a toothpick.
*yet I feel so special.*
I was kinda disappointed when I got the toothpick after the super hard battle with inner agent 3, you can barely see it in battle sometimes
Honestly I would have been way happier if we got agent 3’s cape or something after fighting inner agent 3
I came here to listen to the music again. It's bangin'.
Listen to that passion
That black soul comin through
PLAYABLE OCTOLINGS IT HAPPENED
Harry Beaven for 20 dollars. To be honest I don't even want playable Octonlings. They are supposed to be villains. Plus agent 8 doesn't even look like an Octonling like in splatoon 1. It just looks like a new hairstyle.
Shenanigans true but the suction thingy is on the outside and I also agree I don’t realy like the “octoling”design eather but whatever new campaing
Shenanigans hey, uh can you shush? People have WANTED this since the first game. Your tiny opinion can't change anything they are going to do
Thisisthecat 377 I do gotta agree, there is a new campaign. It used to just be hero mode... It got boring.. But this new campaign is actually a pretty good idea.
I knowww! First it was hair styles and shorts! Now it's OCTOLINGS!! NINTENDO listens my dudss
I love how Pearl is trying to looks as edgy as possible while Marina’s kinda just indifferent
0:58 *blobfish*
INSTANT BUY
So... anybody else notice how Pearl resembles The Notorious B.I.G and Marina resembles Tupac Shakur in terms of fashion sense, right?
Next thing you know people are gonna start cracking jokes about how this is "Straight Outta Octon".
Brandon Cash I actually saw a joke about that in a discord server not to long ago,
Brandon Cash thank you im not the only one
Brandon Cash JESUS CHRIST
oh my god yes i just realized that xD
Brandon Cash yes I did
Yeah this is definitely worth real money, your content is amazing nintendo!
Edit: lol no I was being serious
Rigby understandable
Rigby I cannot tell if this is sarcasm
Rigby i swear if youre being sarcastic
This isn't sarcasm. I agree with Rigby.
YESSSSS
This is still by far the best splatoon story to date, really hope the dlc for 3 can top it!
yessss
Exactly
Given how hard the stages look and the fact that this is a $20 DLC you'll definitely know that if you see an Octoling on the other team they mean business and are probably about to wipe the floor with you if you aren't ready.
@Furzoa Gamez octos don't mean your a pro
Yeah, having an Octoling shows patience more than skill, considering you can skip every level with enough deaths. :p
@@wishfulwoomy9159 On the other hand... an Octoling, with a golden toothpick.
@@Soandnb THAT'S when you know you're probably gonna get your team slaughtered.
Davalious If i have kensa dualies i will wipe your entire team. Seriously, i got 18 kills in one game with them
OH MY GOD, THEY LISTENED TO US
Music Man it was planned from splatoon 1, there were octoling player models in the files
ninty *usually* always listens :^)
I think they just weren't sure how to make their implementation make sense, then they did this.... AND I WANT IT!!!
OUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED
No it wasn't. They never teased it or planned for Octolings to be added in Splat1.
Do I sense a Splatfest between Octos Vs Inks?
Ren -Dogg yep, me too and everyone is going to pick octo XD
Wait didn't that happen with pearl and Marina already
Winged Pikmin inklings r betr
After pearl vs marina
Ren -Dogg let the race war commence
Splatoon 1: Inklings
Splatoon 2: Octolings
And now...
Splatoon 3: *SALMONLINGS*
lol
salmlings sound better
ha.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Why didn’t I think of that 😭😭😭
Studio Wildcard: Nobody can beat aberration of scorched earth.
Nintendo: Hold my beer.
I am so curious to see how they port ark to the Switch lol
Sad Kitter I am curious to see how it will be playable
i cried here. Everything looks so cool. The fact we can play as an Octoling. the singers returning. teaser at a good story. omg. Its really glorious and i cant. new bosses. im really tearing up here
Plus Callie's baccc
All i hope is that octolings we play as get bigger hair styles. No really its way too small. Also bigger eye shadows like how marina has, other than that im fine
Crystalitar I understand your joy friend. I also cried
Wanna know whats glorious???
THE F*CKING ISOPOD AT 0:47
DoLan I was also debating this, but i think they did it to have an easier way to let the octolings fit all the clothing thats already sized to inklings.
maybe they might add free updates to the dlc, like more hairstyles, bc i only saw 1 for each (boy and girl)
AMIIBOS I WANT FROM THIS!:
1.The octoling girl and boy
2.Cap'n cuttlefish
3.the (what I believe to be) inverse colored true octolings.
Nintendo you have my idea now,make it happen
Like if you at least want the playable octoling AMIIBOS.
YES
On the 3rd one you meant Sanitized Octolings
low level otaku
so basically dlc for a dlc
They are making them
Tf you talkin bout isopod amiibo all the way
It'd be a cool way to promote this if they added the Octolings as Inkling echoes in _Super Smash Bros. Ultimate,_ but that's just my two cents...
Now it's everyone's two cents theu should be echo fighters!
That’s my two braincells!
is nobody going to talk about the 2 octolings the cloning pods?
oh hi i found u XD
yea i just realized they censored them with goo. kinda awkward. lol
TentaTay aaayyyeee, sup
nm just looping the trailer cuz this song is lit. also what does a boy octoling sound like i wonder. im going to play as one sometimes once i beat this dlc(hopefully i suck at single players)
TentaTay Good luck too- it looks like they made this a more challenging single player mode as well.
Octoboy is happy right now xD
Uganda Knuckles IS HE
Very
True XD
a lot
Those hips do not lie. My salt doesn’t either.
DJrhino450 right as I read this I saw someone named i love the salt
5 years later, whos ready for Side Order!
Oh yeah!
LET'S GOOO
And here we are!
This song is un-remixeble without making it bad, I feel.
Sup Yoda.
Alpha Dynamite incorrect. Triple Q has already proven you wrong.
Zepdos oof
I think we all need to recognise just how great the music in this trailer is.
Oddly enough, I'm fascinated by the exotic deep-sea life on the subway, like a giant isopod and a blobfish dude. But yeah this looks awesome
It makes a weird kind of sense that deep sea life lives in the subway in the splatoon world
Don't forget there was a dolphin
It's isopod hour every hour.
YM 9001 WHERE!?
CrazyDolphin it's behind one of the fish on the right
I only have 6 words:
*THIS*
*GIVES*
*ME*
*CHILLS*
*EVERY*
*TIME*
This gives me chilis every time
The storm before the storm
Cortez Pierson the tsunamicane before the octnado
The ink before the Smah. :)
great analogy
Cortez Pierson More like the Sun exploding before Jupiter being knocked off axis
80 MISSIONS?!
Well, I just lost all of my free time now.
Samuel Lehnertz And my money
I don't even have swich BUT I WANT IT
Samuel Lehnertz same
Well, you have the rest of Spring to use that free time for your other games!
Narson03 When I said that all of my free time is gone, I meant that I need to catch up on all of the content I missed over the pass few months so I can be ready to grind on this expansion when it drops this summer.
They better add up the octoling hairstyles
Hi
Yes.
Too early for that. More might come some time after this.
Herminia's world Enid Fowler they confirmed it in the direct, not directly but look at the multiplayer footage and you'll see a male octoling with a mohawk
Abe Ztalls what?
Thank you, twitter guy. You just made this song better~...
80 stages and more for 20 us dollars, honestly if you are complaining i think you are a lost cause. They been hard at work releasing free content and honestly if they half assed this, i would have said ok too. But god damn this is really good deal.
Oh and i have to pay more, since am outside us, so you really shouldnt be complaining.
Max I was initially put off by the price tag too, but when I saw there were going to be 80 stages I was sold. I mean the main Splatoon 2 campaign had 27 + 5 bosses and that was all a lot of fun, especially if you 100%'d it to collect all the Scrolls and sardine collectibles. Assuming the levels are the same length as the main campaign, and there are collectibles in each, it'll easily be worth $20
Right?! I totally agree.
I’m so sorry you have to pay extra!
And that's why I've stuck with Nintendo for my entire life, they bring both quantity, and quality.
Max Once they fix online for some of us who keep disconnecting and maybe allow us to do co-op mode all the time, this game will be near perfect!
1:09 So that's where Agent 3 has been...
*Agent 8.
No look behind agent 8...agent 3 is right behind her
The game says she went fishing with the Cap'n... Must've been one heck of a trip by the looks of it
Kyle M Fishing for Octolings, by the looks of it.
HyperFlare957 yeah... Just hanging there..
-Step genre music
-Dilapidated settings
-A minority species
-Literally an underground railroad
Nintendo does their research! Really looking forward to this story line!
Jason Baterna just waiting to be STOLEN.
Grub Buster Not political, but historically and culturally influenced.
Not to mention a Biggie and Tupac reference.
the layout of the subway kinda reminds me of the metroid map
Splatoon has always been about urban culture don't misinterpret.
And as far as "minority species" go, Idk what you mean by that :^)
Friendly reminder: Be warned, If ya fail to do something, the character in 1:01 will blow you up.
And if you're wondering if this is a metaphor, yes and no. You will blow up in anger. But Agent 8 will also physically blow up.
CQ Cumber is so dang Angering! but you at least get to play as an Octoling once you beat the expansion.
*_FIRST_* _PAID_ _DLC_
Calvin Richard " *PLAYABLE SALMONS COMING SOON* "
muftiwasim playable *S H A R K S* coming soon!
I would pay to play as a salmonid
And a good one, too!
Playable urchins, anyone??
IM GOING TO CRY I CANT BREATHE
1:10 AGENT 3 IS WEARING A CLOAK NOBODY NOTICE HOW WHY??????????
Lumine EX i noticed as well when it came out
It’s not really a big deal..
Bc shES EDGY
Petition to add this in v5...?
Oh, no joke she is actually wearing it, that is cool 😎
I still get chills every time I watch this. The music is a bop, and nothing will quite compare to the hype I felt the day this came out and realized this meant playable octolings.
Even moreso now after the Splatoon 3 direct for some reason.
So this is what captain cuttlefish and agent 3 were doing when they went on that research trip from the sunken scroll in the story mode
omg yes
nope
When I saw captain cuttlefish I already knew
-genocide- research trip
Just one word can describe what I'm feeling right now...
PERFECTION
I would have said "Woomy," but that works, too.
Yeah, you're right :)
R A A G H F
octoling meme 2018
Bumbleblast 50 So you’re feeling perfect?
I was seriously expecting a woomy
I know this might've been a LITTLE overshadowed by smash but this is one of the best DLC trailers I've ever witnessed and one of the best trailers Nintendo put out. The atmoshere and music is badass and i cannot wait to pick this up.
Remember when I first saw this back in 7th grade I was freaking tf out I must’ve watched this trailer over 100 times. The splatoons franchise has been a major part of my life since the first game
An Anthropomorphic Blobfish?! Yesssssssss! Also this expansion looks and sounds great.
When the “squid research lab” guy starts explaining after the trailer, you see the name of the blob, apparently his name is C.Q Cumber
I think he’s a sea cucumber
GamerJosh2611 Ultimate Gamer No, the Blob Fish appears in 0:59
Hieronymus di Colonna BLOOOOOOB FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISH YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I thought I was the only person who saw it the first time through at 0:59
@GamerJosh2611 no the blue blob is C.Q Cumber
I don’t get why people call Marina a “thot” cause her clothing. I think octolings always have revealing clothing, even the boys
Rigby true
It’s a joke tho
Octolings got a very Hiphop/ghetto-fab centric style. which is totally different form the inklings hipster style
Rigby facts
I just realized its a reference to Biggie and Tupac
I mean the Octoling is cool, but can we talk about how hard the levels look like they may be?
Edit: Not saying it would be bad if they were hard.
I was missing the difficulty that was in the first game #tooGood
-αѕтяα- And the enemies can use specials
It's too unfair Plz Nerf
-αѕтяα- i hope it is extremely hard, getting through such a challenge would make the octolings real special
-αѕтяα- I want it on Dark souls level THEN my wish would truly come true ;•;
Wait let me try that -this is too good-
I remember when I first watched this. I would listen to this on a loop for hours during school. The experience of the actual dlc was fun, difficult and anger enduring all at once. I loved it.
Why did they make Pearl and Marina biggie and Tupac
StinkyLizard5 ...
Why not
what about them makes 'em look like big and pac?
@@10gaws71 The outfits are intentional references (sorry I know this is an old comment, you might know this by now)
The awkward moment when you keep looking at an octopus kid hips.
lol ikr. Just wait till rule 34 hits her.
Cosnzaid36 It already did bro. It already did.
0 snap. Splatoon has gone too far
Dang I missed out. I gotta find it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Dougy just be careful so the FBI don't knock on your door ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
DLC IS CHEAP FOR HOW LIT IT IS
Keshanth 0w0 ikr
even more cheaper when I used my gold coins on it. Got about $5 off total. Though for some reason I got no gold coins for my zelda game. Saying it expired even though I bought the explorer edition and this is after buying half of my games which I could still get coins with.
*FACTS*
please never say lit again
Gamemaster64 the game is now 1 year old and if you have the physical version they do not let you have the gold points if the game is 1 year old for some reason
Still really cool seeing this 2 years later for some reason.
