playable octolings

[Scarlient]

I think Nintendo should put octolings in the game. They could be a separate mode maybe like octolings vs inkling or a separate option were your in the octolings territory and your a octoling or maybe a new story line as a octoling. Nintendo can totally do this i would love to see it happen even if it is dlc i have to buy.

Maybe some asymmetric multiplayer where one side plays as all the different kinds of octo-enemies and the other are normal inklings. Like Left 4 Dead or Spies vs. Mercs or something.

That may be cool.

yeah that would be cool but i think playing as them as in like the inkling is more appealing

But just throwing octolings in there and calling it a day seems like a waste. I think there should at least be minor differences like the humans and chimera in Resistance: Fall of Man.

It'd be cool, but as stated before it'd have to be different. I don't want a reskin of the current modes with Octolings just thrown in. There would have to be a different game mode entirely. An idea I had randomly would be: The Octolings have a base and have a few added benefits to their weapons (less ink consumption, more damage/firepower/etc.). The other team has to get into the base and defeat a mini-boss to win within a time limit. It'd switch off teams (like how it does currently) every game so no one is stuck as one or the other (unless someone is really lucky/unlucky).

It would add more mission-based combat to teamwork!

well there's a hack that replaces the girl inkling...

I don't see what's wrong with using Octolings as a reskin for Inklings. It is possible for it to work because their dimensions aren't too different, and on the case of colored ink, it hasn't been confirmed that they can't change color like Inklings can. What has been confirmed is that Octolings have the same powers as Inklings (not a direct quote, but the old man from the story mode mentions it). That's a general area. There's also the case of the Octoling/Inkling relationship that is seen in the credits, which could lead to the Octolings becoming partners with Inklings, and so on.

I say go for it. I'd like to play as an Octoling in normal gameplay, stomping Inklings with my sexy boots.

awsome

Yes, this thread has been made 1,000,000 times I believe, or the idea has just floated around a lot with no thread. Either way I definitely agree and hope it happens eventually.

I want to play as cap'n cuttlefish senpai

 

[Litagano Motscoud]

In Halo 2's campaign, you switched between playing as Master Chief and the Covenant Arbiter. That would be hella sick if Nintendo did something similar.

I don't know if there's validity to this, but a reddit post translated a Japanese twitter post (comedically, with a real translation in the comments), hinting at octoling skins. It could be a very real possibility!

"We’ve received a sketch from one of our researchers. Looks like an Octoling… Hey! We’ve seen this before. Looks like a false alarm. Wait a minute. Something’s different here… Whoa! WHOOOOA!"

Any guesses what they're on about? I might need to ask some treehouse guys to see what's up...

The Octolings are calling the Dragonzord.

If the Octolings do become a playable breed, Ill stay as an Inkling, only because "Youre a kid now, youre a squid now" sounds catchier than whatever the Octolings would have :p

Sure playable octolings would be cool... but playing as those little jellyfish people is clearly the best option.
