Iwata Asks ("The Inklings in Splatoon was going to be Rabbits")

Really glad they went with squids and not rabbits

People keep saying they want rabbit DLC but that seems a little odd and it would stick out. Judd is the only non sea life that is characterized in the game and that would be a lot of work for a callback that few would understand. Not to mention mechanics like turning into a squid form would be a tad odd.

It's interesting to see how the game developed over time. The designs of the original squids kinda look like something from the 80's. It's just the style of the drawing. XD I think having rabbits would've been a tad odd. 0-0

Ewww, that design for the Rabbit was pretty atrocious in my opinion. I'm saying that now mainly after comparing it to the beautiful designs for the Inklings we all know and love today. :P

the rabbits look...uh..The tofu stuff was cool tho

 

[Tepig2000]

Glad they didn't go with rabbits. Even tofu would've been better.

 

[Blooper]

Now I want to play as tofu. Splatofu with a splat charger.

 

[MaxwellsTime]

I think the current design is really good!
I wish they'd made an easter egg for the Tofu.
Tofu Jump anyone?

 

[Lucky Fool]

I kind of want to see the rabbits as future DLC as sort of a nod to the prototype.

To bad Ubisoft went out like a itch after the first year of wii U came out so now we don't have a chance for a rabbid amiibo as a sort of stand in for them.

 

[IttyBit]

Well that's interesting! Rabbit seem sort of cute, but I'm happy that they ended up with Squids as the final decision. It's just the perfect match!
