splatoon 2 nostalgia thread

[Smash Arena]

I have a lot of nostalgia for the pre-Octo Expansion period of Splatoon 2, which I feel like a lot of players forget these days. It was much closer to Splatoon 1 back then, with only playable Inklings and less weapons that weren't in Splatoon 1. A lot of players called it Splatoon 1.5 at the time, which wasn't ideal but ended up making its evolution into Splatoon 2 over the first year that much more exciting.

Version 2.0 up until the launch of 3.0 was actually a pretty fun time for the game, as it had improved a lot from Version 1.0 but we all knew it was going to get so much better, especially once the Octo Expansion was announced. We had some pretty good Shifty Stations in that period too, like The Bunker Games with its Containment Zones.

I have massive regrets on not playing the game, which to be fair I didn't own a Switch until August 2017, and since I missed out on the demo I didn't know how it played, so like the first game, I passed on it. Now with these regrets, I'm making Miiverse-style drawings based on the Splatfests in that game.
