    dropping probably the biggest splatoon news in the past like 2 years on a random tuesday is the most nintendo thing ive ever seen

    • @lulucianovo
      @lulucianovo 5 months ago

      And it was via the Nintendo Today app at first too, to top it off.

    • @piercemat331
      @piercemat331 5 months ago +176

      Also, return Saltspray Rig and include bans for cheaters and Big Man after cheating too many seasonal splatfests

    Crazy that they've been doing the "Report from the Squid Research Lab" gimmick consistently for the past 10 years.

    “Hey uh…we have this little thing for you, I guess”
    *proceeds to reveal the deep cut dlc as a full spin off and splatoon 3 2*
    Imagine if this is only part 1 to the update and we see the reef + more third kits next month

    • @RisingJay
      @RisingJay 5 months ago +126

      Insane behavior 😂

    • @Joshua05005
      @Joshua05005 5 months ago +337

      I don’t think it’s a dlc. They said it’s a spin off, meaning we’ll probably get a full game out of that

    @FL0ra_favvn 5 months ago +2541

    You're telling me that dream I had a week ago about a Splatoon spinoff with deep cut on an island archipelago covered in perminate clouds was actually just foreshadowing?

  • @manueljaramillo2520
    @manueljaramillo2520 5 months ago +3342

    Glad we don't have to wait till Splatoon 4 for Deep Cut to get their story development.

    • @piercemat331
      @piercemat331 5 months ago +95

      Or Splatoon Origins to get the story of how sea creatures originate and how turf war and salmon run began

    • @TheDuzx
      @TheDuzx 5 months ago +136

      Splatoon 3 has been referred to as the end of the trilogy. IDK what the next game has in store, but Deep Cut might not be included.

    • @RaineRico
      @RaineRico 5 months ago +10

      Thought they weren't making anymore mainline Splatoon games anymore

    • @dyssil249
      @dyssil249 5 months ago +116

      ​@TheDuzx The end of the squidbeak platoon story line. They will hopefully come up with some fresh locations and characters for 4 that will have some new villain to fight against

    • @azubilp
      @azubilp 5 months ago +4

      In Splatoon 4 no known character is to return

  • @MightyWolfTV
    @MightyWolfTV 5 months ago +4040

    Spin off game! 3rd kits! Switch 2 free upgrade! Urchin Underpass! They DID celebrate the 10th anniversary after all!

    • @seid3366

      Given our loss at the Grand Fest, Deep Cut could use a W and I’m deeply content with the results.

    • @Tim-Witted
      @Tim-Witted 5 months ago +6

      I don't think it's its own game; more of a Mario Party Jamboree NS2 edition kind of situation. Pay some extra eggs and get a big new mode. I'd love be wrong though.

    • @KorfiatisP
      @KorfiatisP 5 months ago +62

      ​@ColinMcGinn973The game has two kits for each weapon right now. A kit is a set of sub and special weapons, So for each weapon you'll have two choices for which set of sub and special you want to use.
      Splatoon 1 and 2 both had three kits per weapon by the time the game wrapped up with updates, but people were considering that sense of splatoon. 3. Has the most weapon classes of any splatoon game, and they added a new weapon to each existing class, there would only be two kits by the time the game reaches its end of life.

    • @unknownbowser1439
      @unknownbowser1439 5 months ago

      ​@ColinMcGinn973 in Splatoon there are weapon kits you can choose from, which are made of a main weapon and sub weapon and special attack. As there are many weapons in the game but each has only two different kits, fans wanted a 3rd one for the weapons

    • @Noobish_
      @Noobish_ 5 months ago +1

      @ColinMcGinn973each weapon has a ‘kit’ of a set sub and special. Every weapon got a second kit in splatoon 3 but no third. (until now)
      It was pretty sought after cause 3’s kits have had many duds AND splatoon 2 got third kits way earlier.

    Something tells me the spin-off will be focused around crafting and resource gathering. The robot assistant feels like it’ll be used to store materials in. Though I think it’ll be more similar to something like Subnautica rather than Minecraft (though on land rather than in the ocean, for obvious reasons lol).
    The title “Raiders” also suggests you’ll be hunting for treasures, which would fit well with the resource gathering theme. So you’ll gather resources, to craft stuff that allow you to explore further and deeper, finding treasure which unlocks further big upgrades, and there’s your gameplay loop. How they’ll marry that with Splatoon mechanics is gonna be the interesting part

    WHY WASN'T THIS IN THE SWITCH 2 DIRECT OR IN A JUNE DIRECT????
    seriously that spin-off game would've been a perfect direct ending announcement considering how hyped up Splatoon is especially in Japan
    Edit: People are theorising in the replies, so here's my theory:
    They're holding the new game off for the September Direct (possible development problems and/or the Direct was getting too loaded, the latter one i doubt is true but it is a possibility) and that's why they're announcing it now without a release date

    • @mr.smart75
      @mr.smart75 5 months ago +30

      @Worm_Void They probably didn't announced it during the Switch 2 direct because they already had enough to show during that presentation.

    4:00 So they finally recognized their matchmaking problems... and only took 3 years... It looks like players like ProChara needed to show this aspect by starting fresh and cause a system error because his skill is so good to make the system crash and kick him off of the battles... so that means that those flags on the weapon (only visible on Turf War) were only for decoration

    • @Knash
      @Knash 5 months ago

      ​​@lightdarksoul2097Not at all, considering that finding the response for Chara's video reference I noticed that this matchmaking problems was caused because they removed a important thing Splatoon 2 has, and was to making these catalog system which means "a season you don't play, your tier will be reset to 0" unlike to downgrade your rank because your lack of skill.m, and considering that the game has a competitive base, this aspect is a big problem, and could be a serious downgrade, even if they improve other aspects of the game.

    Nintendo: we won't be added any more free DLC to splatoon 3
    Also Nintendo: 2:17

      Keyword, no more ‘free’ dlc. This is probably a paid dlc.

      ​@spiralbuddyThen why do I have a sticker splatana stamper without paying any real money?

    The September Direct did not say anything about Splatoon. That means that Splatoon Raiders won't be released until mid-late 2026 I guess. 😭

      Yeah, this seems like a summer game at the earliest.
      What I hope happens:
      -During the next Direct, Raiders gets a global test fire to be released in April along with a new set of upgrades/retro stage.
      -Upon completion of the test fire, they announce the game's release date for August along with some in game swag.
      -Upon completing the campaign in the game, a trailer for Splatoon 4 is shown to the player, set to release next year.

      I SWEAR IF THEY END UP RELEASING IT IN 2027 INSTEAD OF 2026 😭
      Fingers crossed it's 2026
