How Side Order Can SAVE Splatoon 3
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- Recently it feels like Splatoon 3 is in a weird spot. While a good chunk of the player base is chugging on with business as usual, there are some people who end up falling out of the game and not having new people trickling in to take their place. But Side Order is in the position to reverse that flow and possibly put many more eyes on Splatoon 3 like the Octo Expansion did with Splatoon 2 back in 2018. So I wanted to talk about some ways that could guarantee that the campaign does well and Splatoon 3 gets a boost in activity. What are you most looking forward to seeing in Side Order?

Getting mem cakes THEN maybe we can use those mem cakes in our lockers as items or stickers? OR getting each mem cake as a badge? Idk just want something good, as long as it could entertain me.
The LORE.
for real though... idk
I want it to have the binding of Isaac levels of lore I have over 1000 hours on it and I haven’t even completed it 100%. I’m just missing 23 achievements out of the 656(I think)
The challenge
I’m excited to have a reason to play the game again
I hope 8 ball doesn’t make an evil return. Dude got us through so much anger and rage 😭😭
OMG LITERALLY I HATE THE 8 BALL LEVELS 😭
Some leaks from ages ago said they'd be returning... really hope they weren't true 😭
Imagine the 8 ball falls and you have to start the campaign all over again LOL
@@Alphastar716 You let the 8 ball fall.. Test failed.
@@Alphastar716 DEAR GOD NO
i remember accidentaly beating girl power station on the third try and then never being able to do it agian lol
Well at least you could move past it whenever you wanted too haha
same tbh like why cant i do it again?

Holy carp omori reference!?!?

@ok-tr1nw I had to….

i want agent 4 back so bad even if they get 10 minutes of screen time
Same! 😭💖
If they are that silouhette then I'd love to see how they'd end up being involved with the story!
No one cares about him/her
@@FaisalBashir1 i and many others do
I hope Side Order willl be a huge success like Octo Expansion so we can get third year of updates
If Splatoon THREE where THREE is a recurring thing, I'd be surprised if there weren't around THREE years of updates.
I want all the updates we can get!
I'm hoping Agent 4 comes back, they are criminally underrated. Hopefully Side Order gives them more personality so more Splatoon fans can like them.
Yeah, as someone who hasn't looked much into the agents' characters myself, I'm eager to see what people like so much about them.
Now he/she is criminally OVERRATED
I have no idea what to expect when Side Order releases, and that's what's keeping my interest in it so high. It's been nearly a year since Side Order was first announced, and now we have an official release date for it. Hype!
Amazing video as always Alpha! 🐯
Damn, I can't believe Omori was just mad that he lost to Inner Agent 3...
I REALLY hope Side Order is really difficult, or better yet has difficulty options outside of the levels having pre-set difficulty. I firmly believe if levels and rewards aren't randomized and its always just "Fish horde survival - Easy, Splat Zones minigame - Medium, ect." per floor then Side Order won't be at all replayable. Hopefully Nintendo just goes off the deep end and commits to making it a Roguelite and doesn't half-bake the mechanics and difficulty like they usually do for their modern games...
OMORI REFERENCE
I was looking for this comment. I was thinking about was Mari... This is the real reason why Sunny was angry.
I really wanna hope that the fish levels they showed are just one type of mode that the campaign has. Like the 8-ball being one of numerous modes in Octo Expansion.
@@Alphastar716 Yeah, it'd suck if it was just "Survive the fish!"
"Survive the fish but you have to hold a splatzone!"
"Survive the fish but they throw bombs!"
I really do expect higher quality than what these devs have shown before, though, just because of how long the DLC has been in development and how unique it looks, I just hope they lean into that uniqueness as much as OE did!
Dude as long as I know that Iso Padre is alive and well I'll be happy, where is my man Nintendo don't give him the Kass treatment _PLEASE_
I think what's helped me being able to play Splatoon 3 almost everyday has been the simple fact that I have people to play and talk about it with. I'm part of a team that I absolutely love and it makes playing Splatoon for me a heck of a lot more fun! We're all very excited for Side Order too
New customization the hands and hair tips i want those to come in multiplayer i think it would give more players a unique look to their characters. While also showing individuality
That'd actually be cool. Your hair tips could be one of the pastel colors you see in the campaign. 👀
Cephalorock’s little cameo XD
I always pick on Ceph whenever possible x)
I can’t wait to see how this ages
Either incredibly well (which I hope it will) or incredibly poorly lol
nahhhhh side order will be equivalent to a clutch mercy in overwatch

I hope to expect that Side Order can be really challenging like brain teasers. But not TOO challenging like Inner Agent 3. I also am hoping that the one year wait was worth it

I was today years old when I learned about needing to pray to get gold scales.
I wonder what we get for "completing" this DLC. I doubt we'll get another playable species, so I'm guessing we'll just get the ability to change our hair tips and fingertips colors
At the start you forgot about people that suck so badly that they primarily play the single player modes/salmon run
I'm looking forward to playing as 8 again! She is my fav character! also I'm hoping to see Marie and Callie again in outfits that are better than the single player. (yes, I'm a splatoon og lol)
Lol what if the bad guy is the dolphin from alterna, also the way that blob of goo floats and the pieces inside it move around are similar to the way the pen piecesa move at the end of alterna levels
Throwing your sister down the stairs…haven’t heard that anywhere…honestly I hate to say this but…OMORI REFERE-
Im weak, bro never fails to make me laugh. Thanks fam
18 days left HAAAUUUUGH
I know this is probably not gonna happen and yea I know I’m being annoyingly persistent BUT I hope that at the end of side order you get an apartment. It would make a cool reward similar to how we got to play as a octoling in splatoon 2. They can’t make it the same since they are already playable in splatoon 3. Plz like if you think they should add it. I don’t wanna be livin in sum musty locker room no more 😭😭🙏
I’ve been waiting for this video about side order! I’m super excited experience playing this dlc and I look forward to watching other’s gameplay experiences. 😄✨
Lately, I have been preparing for the challenges and difficulty that side order will bring lol! (I have my fingers crossed for Agent 4 to be in this dlc as well bc she deserves much more recognition imo 🤞💖)
Judging by the poster, you should get your wish with agent 4! Hopefully, they'll have an awesome boss fight to live up to the hype!
Im really looking forward to this dlc, and whatever twists and turns they may have for us :D
My theory is that agent 4 is going to be some kind of fake out villain or right hand man for the real bad guy, but then team up with 8 at the very end. And if the player has played splatoon 2 + Octo expansion, both Agent 8 and 4 will look like the agent you played as in that game :D (or even just as the default option).
4:58 i have been waiting forever to get the the title
Hopefully you can get it at some point!
The only roguelike I've played before is Hades which was a ton of fun so I'm really looking forward to side order (assuming it'll be difficult that is)
Also I can confirm you unintentionally referenced Omori lmao
Only reason I’m actually going to start playing the game again lol
And jumping back into the 4v4 like the vast majority was already doing
That goes for a lot of ppl haha
1:45 does your sister also play piano
Omori lol
Istg if agent four doesn’t come back I am gonna start A RIOT, I mean wouldn’t be my first time 🤭
7:06 DID YOU CALL ME OUT UNINTENTIONALLY 😭
The Pearlina fans go hard x)
I pray that side order give me back the spark that splatoon used to give me
I'm just super excited for the story and mechanics. I've been waiting for the devs to drop this juicy content for so long now and now it's almost here! >:D
Need to prepare for when I rage though. I have a feeling it won't just be my sister I throw down a flight of stairs.
Wow you really put Ceph on loud speaker
I always like to bully Ceph whenever possible
1:44 That certainly sounds familiar. 🤔
Sunny... Cough cough... Stairs.... Cough cough... Mari... Cough cough... 😇
1:45 nahhh, bro pulled a Sunny move
3:34 You have no idea how long it took me to complete this level I spent so many cq points 😭
it took you that long to do it?/gen
honestly as a fan of the rougelike genre side order being a rougelite mode is getting me hyped for it
Look, if Side Order doesn't have at least 50 poles then I'm uninstalling and throwing my switch off a cliff.
Something tells me the octo alpha was talking to is named Sunny
Yeah. Sunny who's sister is uhm...
@@athenaplayz3211Mari
@@allenparker2113 at least she didn't MLG water bucket.
I don’t want to be that guy, but I’m a little concerned for Side Order. I don’t think Nintendo has much experience with rougelikes, which can be notoriously hard to balance in terms of single player content. I’ve also heard some rumors of supposed review copies, and while I’m cautious to believe things with little to no evidence, the supposed leaks of the reactions aren’t promising.
I want to reiterate - take all this with a grain of salt. I’m really hoping these overly paranoid thoughts are just that. I’ve put just short of 1,000 hours into Splatoon 3 alone, and Side Order has probably been my most anticipated release since the base game’s launch. But I can’t get rid of those feelings, especially remembering how even Splatoon 3’s lackluster launch was planned for a _year and a half earlier_ than what actually happened.
The lack of knowledge we have about the DLC probably doesn't help with the anxiety but I have hope. Splatoon was a completely new take on shooters that worked so maybe Nintendo's spin on roguelikes will too. 🤞
Never completed any singleplayer experience of Splatoon, including Octo Expansion.
Shame on me but I always felt like the multiplayer is where its at.
Still, I'd be happy about a game with a manageable difficulty that also works in handheld mode for when I'm on the train or bus.
im mostly looking forward newer octoling hairstyle's or the duelies that appear from thin air
0:58 Splatoon 3 Moray Towers😂 Maybe one day
I have one hope for Side Order, let me play as an inkling! Please Nintendo!
Uh.. if this isn't satire you just go to options and go down and there's some button that lets ya change into an inkling. If this is satire damn.
Does he know? (I'm gonna hope this is a joke HAHA!)
No, I mean in the single player of Side Order, they’ve only shown octo Stuff, I hope we aren’t restricted to only playing as octoling in Side Order
I’m already a squid in the game
@@FierceBoi325the most recent teaser literally shows an inkling on the train glitching...
And as anyone else has said, in the second trailer it shown options so you can swap to either inkling or octoling
1:45 is the real reason Sunny was mad. Wow. Duet is just a lie.
The omori reference was so random it was hilarious. But im prayinnngg the villain is just something stupid not anything old but stupid that would be funny
I started looking in the comments after he said the reference lol
I think side order should release different story modes of every character. Like 1 month we get a story of agent 8 and another month pearl or smth. It'll give what most of the community wants and make more gameplay time because honestly do you expect them to release 12 different story modes in one dlc if it took 4 years for one?
Nope and the base game is growing at a positive rate
I just hope it competes with octo expansion in terms of how fun it is. I don’t wanna play the same level with different enemies 70 times. I wanna see unique game mechanics and good bosses and story
I think side order will end with pearlina wedding
My autism bouta go nuts on the 22nd
I’m just happy agent 8 is here lol
I hope to get the music is good for this. I'm still waiting on a dubstep remix of salty from Octo expansion and I hope it will happen soon
I wonder if levels will be random but some levels are guaranteed to always be the same which will probably be the boss levels if there are any
1:43 This is the plot of omori
your comment made me realize that the stairs line is said on 1:43
143. fucking
*143*
1:44 OMORI REFERENCE!?!??!
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING TOOOO
It’s true that it has been getting boring. I haven’t been playing it as much as I use to. I’m definitely gonna love Side Order. Just remember that it’s Splatoon 3’s final year
It's not getting boring
That's still crazy how it's been out for over a year already. I'm still taking the copium that updates may be extended after Side Order.
This would be so much fun since in Salmon Run, splatting huge crowds of salmonids is really satisfying.
Splatoon 3 is pretty weird for me. I like watching others play it, for hours and hours on end even. It's just that when I play it, it feels really eh. I was on the floor screaming and crying when it got announced but I really only see myself playing every splatfest, big run, or new patch. I played Splatoon 2 for 2,300-2,500 hours in only 2 years, so maybe that's why? I also do KINDA prefer Splatoon 2 rather than 3 KINDA but maybe that's because it was my first Splatoon game. I HOPE that since I like Splatoon 2 more than 3, I'll get back into it with side order.
You know the thing that I'm assuming is the final boss for the side order DLC shown in the trailer looks like GLaDOS from the portal series don't believe me just take a look at the two and comparisons sure they wouldn't look exactly like each other but they look very similar
It’s gonna be like Luigis mansion you’re gonna have to do levels from an elevator
1:40 trust me, i have seen worse. (rainbow expansion)
Oh yeah Rainbow Expansion is the devil too haha
@@Alphastar716 to think i actually decided to mentally break myself by 100%ing that mod
I'm eagerly waiting for Side Order. I've been drifting away because of the cursed splatfests and also because the game's been a bit boring lately. It's gotten to the point where I'm close to becoming more interested in the splatoon clone releasing soon than actual splatoon itself... I hope Side Order is worth the year that they made us wait! As someone who was on team Order, it's gonna be interesting to see what wouldve happened if we'd won!
I honestly started loosing a bit of interest in Splatoon 3. Not because of the lousy splatfests and ranked maps, also I’m R A N K E D A P H O B I C! Also I do agree on your points in Side order and how It can account for the downsides of the game currently
P.S “I threw my sister down the stairs” made my laugh so much as I feel like doing that on a daily basis!
There's still plenty of amazing 3-way collab splatfests they can do too. 😔
@ankkitha the game is doing amazing in it's current state
@@maplemiles3381 i can’t tell if that’s sarcasm or if you’re being serious…
I have mostly given up on splatoon sadly despite it still being one of my favourite video games but side order yeah i can smell obsession coming especially as hades has given me a like for rougelike despite how annoying it can be
Side Order would not really save the game, it will just awake interest again, but once they played it through, they will stop playing again until the next huge thing happens like the last splatfest or something.
There's definitely gonna be some people who won't stay long after Side Order releases but I still believe a good chunk will. Time will tell.
Vast majority are still playing the game and the recent updates have seen positive feedback and hints why it's growing if you think I'm spreading misinformation I'm not I'm spreading facts the game is growing not dying
@@maplemiles3381 Dude chill out. I never said the game was dying or that it sucks.
Its just weird to say the DLC will save the game, when the game was not only very well received, but this is supposed to be the game‘s last significant year before they move on to other projects.
The title was just a bit clickbaity.
@@sourcefreak7997okay and the game from the devs with the recent updates were more good then bad
IM SCREAMING RN BECAUSE SIDE ORDER IS COMING OUT IN FEW DAYS NOW
how the hell did 3 people comment in 50 seconds
“The video launch chaos”
The notification squad is crazy x)
Pearlina is so cute tho 😭
I ain't disagreeing. But that is what y'all act like lol.
8 ball is the final boss (/j)
I am honestly confused why splatoon 3 didn't click as much as the other franchises did
splatoon 1 I played till death
splatoon 2 I played like a crazed gunman
but splatoon 3... the hype lasted a month at most and then it died out
Splatoon 3 clicks with the vast majority of others and a reason why it keeps on growing and the recent balance and map changes have seen positive feedback and I'm not being sarcastic about the balance and map changes those were positive its just toxic reddit and twitter going to chara to gloat for zero reasons to feel justified because it's their own pointless destiny
honestly i dont even play splatfests anymore. i played 500 hours within the course of like 3 months, and burned myself out (like 5 hrs a day)
hopefully side order will get me back into it
Well this was a little disappointing
Please put deep cut in side order even if its for a second
3:57 WOW REALLY?? and you know that without having played it?
DANG HUH( looks at him)
Side order is obviously going to be harder than octo expansion because you’ll have to start form the VERY BEGINNING. So if you’re close to the top and you die then you’re done for
God I can’t wait for side order UGH
i need this to be harder the after alterna.
Man, I'm in the group of mfs who played Splatoon through they teenage years and now only rlly play once a week/during a splatfest due to college work taking up my entire week. If I could play it more I would, but it's just feasibly impossible for me to play it as much.
Threw your sister down the stairs?? LIKE OMORI??????
I dont think the title of this video is very accurate, while yes dont get me wrong Side order WILL bring hype/ people back it does nothing for the actual base game. Multiplayer will still be a jumbled mess of bad maps and matchmaking, casuals will still have nothing to do in the game asides from turf and salmon run (no one cares about table turf we aint counting that) and updates are still probably going to be mid. Unless Nintendo plans on bringing side order content over to multiplayer somehow (and no im not just talking about weapon skins) it'll bring people back, sure, but its only temporary. If anything If this works the way its being described i could see it hurting multiplayer since people would just be playing side order instead, it'd be how like multiplayer and salmon run are two separate fan bases... sure the majority would play both but there are a good amount of people who refuse to touch the other and just stick to their side.
@BUFFPHROG Guh
The balance patches and updates aren't mid and the recent balance patch has had a lot of positive feedback and the game keeps getting better and growing at a positive rate
Beating a platformer 100%: 🙂
Beating a jrpg 100%: ☹️
Beating Splatoon 3 100%: 💀
You mean story mode or the whole game? If the whole game I can agree its literally impossible
Yeah, literally a death sentence LOL
I wanna see whoever the heck agents 5 6 and 7 are
Honestly, I don't think there are agents 5 6 or 7. When Splatoon 4 rolls around, assuming you aren't called new agent 4, you'll probably just be agent 5.
Oh yeah, that makes sense@@Alphastar716
LETS GO 3 minutes
I would just like to say to this day I still haven’t beat girl power station 😊
It's not too late 👀
Please I’m hoping for this to be good cuz ngl splatoon 3 needs something to make it feel different

Im unfortunately a in-between group,where as id like to play splat 3 more to get my former pride back from splatoon 2 but unfortunately due to my job,family and etc. I unfortunately can't commit to gaming as much anymore and it's not just with splatoon but it's with other games like pokemon,gta online and call of duty 2 or 3
