I don't know where i can find a normal one, but this one is from nintendo's official site.

These red/black weapon skins look splendid. My undying wish is to get these reskins for use in multiplayer after completing every level with that particular weapon. -probably as a functionally-identical copy of the alt sets.

Is this going to be the Splatoon 2 version of tide pods? Because those erasers look delicious.

The inkling universe forbidden snack...

Didn't see anybody post this image but.This set piece is just so cool.

So different than anything we've seen out of the Splatoon in general.

Wonder if this location has any significance. Is it just another biome? A hub between the different train lines?

Still not sure if I like the backpack/ink tank design, though I do kinda like how the bottom can hold her tablet or whatever on the bottom.

Splatoon's Twitter Has released footage for one of the challenges of the octo expansion. Some of you probably want to be surprised by the type of challenges you'll get, so i'll put the details in a spoiler tab.

Spoiler: Octo Expansion Footage #1

Title says #1 so they'll likely release more as time goes on. The challenge seems to be a simple "splat all the enemies" with the gimmick of them being on a merry-go-round that you can control. There's also a time limit, so you'll have to beat it as quickly and efficiently as possible.

But i don’t like time challanges. D:

Anyway, this is probably said lready but i really hope the DLC expands on splatoons lore.
Especially the lore on the salmonids and possible more information on grizz.

considering we're getting 80+ levels, i'm sure not all of them will be timed.

You mean her Sheikah Slate?

 

[ZeppyWolf]

Im super excited for this dlc! I hope (probably wont happen) once you complete the dlc and you get to play as the octoling, you can play the singleplayer levels as the octolings and you get messages from dj octavio instead of marie! Just a thought though.

Out with the "Ngyes" and "Woomy" and in with the "Meemo" and "Whoopie" now.

Both those clips sound like they belong to the girl, what with them being so high-pitched. I'd be surprised if one or the other turned out to belong to an Octoboy.

New footage of the infinite Inkjet challenge.

Looks like these level will really test our knowhow of these specials. This challenge pretty much being all about the boost jump from the Inkjet. Also it definitely looks like the level is a pretty good length given the means of mobility.

 

[Ansible]

Still no official date? :(

Not sure how I feel about the Inkjet challenge(s). When the buffed its mobility in the pre-3.0 patch it became harder to shoot down... with a Sting Ray (don't judge my hobbies!), now these challenges and the damage nerf will make it even harder.

There better be a Sting Ray shooting challenge to compensate! :p

Can't wait for the coming "meme cake" apocalypse. But that in-game text... not sure if that's early translation or bad poetry. woof¡ @_@

edit: and the beats of eight does not help. xD

 

[MindWanderer]

The thing I'm happiest about is the presence of a checkpoint in that Inkjet level demo. This suggests that the new levels are at least as long as a short Octo Canyon level.

The poetry isn't that bad
Is it our fate to spray this hate?
Rhyme and meter shant make you sad...

^Okay, now that's some bad poetry

Not sure how I feel about the stage music for Octo Expansion. Not that it is bad, it's just they feel a lot more standard.

They sound like music that could fit in other games, they lack that super distinctive feel.

I agree. You can hear a little bit of the Octo Canyon music in there, but barely, and the Drum & Bass styling feels quite generic. Wish it sounded more like the Off The Hook track in the trailer. I liked the sound of that.
