I prefered the maps of the first game, still has the best music, and gameplay. The people who never played with the Wii U pad don't know what elevated gameplay they are missing. Also the single player levels we're and still are my absolute fav. I really wish Nintendo would bring back the weirdness, funky songs and fun little details. Hopefully in Splatoon 4, with also hopefully a streaming pad for the full experience.
I like how I was confused as to how did someone survive the baller explosion with a squid roll despite getting hit, I just totally forgot that armor was in the game
The only things really holding 3 back now is map design and update schedules. The maps are awful, which we already know. The updates dont come nearly as often enough to actually fix things, and it also means we get less kits and maps. Its almost a year into the game and there are still way too many weapons with no second kit yet (Still hoping for my beloved E-Liter Beacon/Inkstorm)
Why won't the devs just copy the shifty stations to splat 3? That is one of the biggest reasons people come back to splat 2 and I would too but they are in private battles only 💀
Ok I might sound a little crazy here but hear me out. Even though Splatoon 2 has it's really annoying flaws, I still find myself missing the game. It just has a different kind of charm that Splatoon 3 is really lacking despite having amzing QoL features and stuff. Maybe it's nostalgia or whatever, but something just seems... off. Also, I have to say that Shifty Stations were a way better splatfest gimick than tri-color, imo.
One thing I noticed is that the Splatoon Inkling/Octoling always has a blank expression on their face. Meanwhile in splatoon 3, the character is always smiling.
@@toxictoast9947Splatoon 2 does NOT have more kit diversity you *have* to be ignorant if you really think that… Splatoon 2 has worse kit diversity than even the first game… Splatoon 3 has way more unique weapons with really synergetic kits.
You know what's crazy? I literally just went back to playing some Splatoon 2 yesterday for the first time in like 2 years. Edit: I was not aware of Splatoon 2's anniversary, I just felt like I wanted to play it.
It makes me sad to see how much hate s2 gets. It’s literally not that bad. I still like splatoon 2 better than 3 (probably a hottake) because it just has so much more charm
I agree tbh splat 2 has alot more charm to it. I like the music in 2 more than 3 aswell and a real hot take but i like the specials in 2 more than 3. Only ray and missiles i had issues with. Not even armor and i played blasters every now and then
Same S2 may have worse quality with visuals but the older a game is the more personality it has S3 low key looks like a massive hunk of plastic And S2’s slower pacing made it more enjoyable to play long term
Ah, Splatoon 2! I never played it, but the singular thing I'm jealous of are the maps. Not having Splatanas, Stringers, rolls and surges, and ESPECIALLY not having good special design are all huge downsides. Also Brellas function in that game too more than 10% of the time and bomb physics don't feel like they weigh 200 tons so that's cool I guess
Oh lord they went back to Splatoon 2 again, time to see how this goes. But fr Splatoon 2 is how I got into Splatoon in the first place and got lots of good memories from playing
directly port all of s2's maps into s3's engine with s3's specials and no other original content and you've got an all-time top 1 game it's actually so sad how close we were
the reason i wanted to get a switch and get splatoon 2 for so long was how big and whacky the maps where, and the updates ( even if they didnt happen much ) looked so cool and so well thought of, with brand themed gear, and ALOT of it and i genuenly thought splatoon 3 would be more of that but i guess not, i guess its just gonna be 1 or 2 splatoon 2 maps every 3 months and barely any new gear ( weapons are not my priority by the way lol but if were talking about that, WE NEED MORE STRINGERS AND BRELLAS OH MY GOD )
Ironically I did the same thing today and the fast pace nature along with the infinitely better aim improvement along with the special spread balance(how well they get divided up on weapons) make 3 so much better than 2. Amongst many another small quality of life improvements.
Splatoon 2 is my first video game ever and even if I got in Christmas 2018, my love for it is unmeasurable ❤❤, Even though it’s not perfect generally, is the best example of perfection for me❤, Splatoon 2 is my fav video game ever
I’d love to see more Splatoon creators make more videos and streams on 2 to the point of making 2 stand beside 3 as an alternative experience with its own dedicated fan base
I still remember when Splatoon 2 was new and I tried to say that Starfish mainstage zones was a great map to use V Jet Squelcher on and not being believed. But also, Bunker Games is a very nostalgic map to me as I really liked it back during the 1st egg fest also that color combo that you guys had on it looked really nice.
I feel like there's an unlisted change with blasters in S3 where they follow enemies in the reticle a lot more often. Jumping and shooting feels like way less of a crapshoot in S3 even without a lot of intensify action equipped
I hope you go back to splatoon 1 eventually too. Even though official servers are down, you can use pretendo on a softmodded wii u with aroma (not that difficult and doesn't even take that long), which is a fan server that works great
Played this for the anniversary and had lots of fun with it. I really like 2. Its where I reallly started to play Splatoon more. Game is a bit wack but I like it cause of that
Splatoon 2 being a turn based shooter was really innovative. Props to Nintendo
This made me laugh way harder than it should’ve
@@sonicrunn3r895Same idk why but it’s hilarious
I think this is how they came up with tabbleturf

Right stick really was
Mom said its my turn to win
Bubble Blower combo still works in 2023
At least we can all agree Splatoon 2 really did changed our lives forever, Happy 6th Anniversary Splatoon 2!

Giving wahoo world cannons and rails would actually make it a lot more fun to play on IMO. It would be more like baby park, just sheer chaos

I'm amazed by the difference in map design by looking at this again...
Back when Brella had (surprisingly) less issues and was somewhat usable

This video is dangerous because it increases my urge to play Splatoon 2 again.

Oh my god this video is making me realize how much i miss some maps i want them back so badddd
Anytime I go back to Splatoon 2 my first reaction is “dear god the graphics” for some reason 😂
It's likely the UI and lighting
They're wonderful 😊
Yeah theyre so much better
It’s so much prettier 😢
The frame rate was so much higher too
The only things that Splatoon 2 does better than Splatoon 3:
1. Online
2. Matchmaking sometimes
3. The stages.

I ALSO WENT BACK TO SPLATOON 2 TO SEE AND THEN I STARTED CRYING BECAUSE I WENT TO OCTO EXPANSION
You know this is Splatoon 2 because Brella shields you from damage.
Can't wait for them to do this again lol
Twas a fun watch.
Also, Baller can climb on the cannons like that?! 🤯
good maps + a bunch of great old songs vs decent balance and a smaller amount of cool new songs. the dilemma

If you return to the the splat 3 story mode inkjets boost is also tiny.

Thats fair. Personally i like splat 2 way more than i do 3 but to each their own
I honestly like how booyah bombs explosion looks in his game better than 3.
Splatoon 2 is still really fun.
am i the only one who thinks that the sound that inklings and octos do when turning in and out of squid form is lower in splat 3?
