Oh yeah, I miss Main Power Up too! While I don't miss Bamboozlers doing 99.9 damage, I think the idea of the ability was good, it just shouldn't have affected damage points. Effects like the Aerosprays painting even better or Splatlings being able to shoot longer on a single charge were good...

I agree with what both of you have said so far, Splatoon 2 and 3 both have many individual strengths that made both worth playing. A major under-the-hood difference between Splatoon 1/2 and 3 is that the first two games use Nintendo's internal LunchPack engine, whereas Splatoon 3 uses the newer...

Splatoon 1 is my favorite, it is just unfiltered "Splatoon music" before Splatoon 2 and 3 got more experimental. Every multi-player track is excellent, there are no misses. Splatfest battle music is incredibly energetic, with the plaza music (City of Color) nailing the feeling of going to a...

Went with Team Morning! Always excited for a new beginning, and the morning is just that.

I've always been a morning person. Whether or not I have work (or school back in the day), I always get up in the 6:00 hour, the latest being 6:53 AM. That's the best time to go to the gym for me and lift, because I can have a plate of eggs for protein afterwards for my protein requirement...

An odd question, but do you prefer to play Splatoon when the weather is a certain way outside? For me, I associate Splatoon with spring and summer, so I always prefer playing Splatoon on sunny, warm days. Conversely, I dislike playing Splatoon on overcast, rainy days as it just doesn't fit the...

That Direct was pretty decent. Makes it clear that Nintendo isn't totally abandoning the NS1 with NS2 coming out. Nintendo has a tendency to support their successful consoles with post-generational support, with the NES/SNES/3DS being good examples. Not Wii though as sales for that console fell...

Definitely the Yellow Pill. While my reaction time is already quite good, making it even better could result in even cooler plays being made, which is my favorite part about playing Splatoon. I also tend to play short-range weapons which are in firefights a lot, so being able to react to...

I enjoy playing the L3, but I do think the H3 has suffered more since Splatoon 1.

Dapple Dualies for sure, I remember loving them in 2 and then feeling that they weren't as effective when I started playing 3. Over the years Nintendo has strengthened them to be a mainstay weapon for me again. I also see them all the time in both casual and high-rank games. In fact, I would...

I am most excited for Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025. The new Mario Kart is something I will certainly play a lot, both with friends at my house and online with players around the world. Hoping to also see a new 3D Mario game, which I bet will come out around the holiday season, maybe October. Aside...

A lot of the weapons I play got buffs in this patch, in particular the Aerospray RG and Dapple Dualies. Plus the Enperry Splat Dualies got two buffs, which is going to be really fun. What I am interested in is going to be the datamines of this patch. Will we see further work being done in the...

Wasabi Splattershot with Burst Bomb and Tenta Missles.

I do have a theory that there are differences in how it handles matchmaking and team comps compared to Splatoon 2's Ranked Battle. I do remember hearing that Splatoon 2's system put a lot more priority on putting you in functional comps compared to Splatoon 3. Considering how many more games I...

Museum d'Alfonsino and Bluefin Depot tend to be better maps for me due to Splatoon 1 experience as well as those maps having multiple approach options to objectives. As for my worst map, while I love the look and theme of Mincemeat Metalworks, it's a nightmare for me to play on as I mostly...
