Update news coming tomorrow, November 21!!!!

[Mr. Squiggly Squid]

I hate hate hate the new hairstyles they gave the bois. The Mohawk makes no sense in how it's supposed to work with everything we know about inkling hairstyle physiology (lol), and the other haircut is just plain terrible.

I like them both, thanks for raising my spirits.

Hey, that's purely subjective. If you like them, good on ya. I'm pretty aware I must be in the minority since they did in fact release this in favor of what I would've preferred. ;)

I come home from work and the fist thing I see is this.... wow... this is a lot to take in.... I'm pretty hyped on the new updates and all of this fancy new stuff. :D

I've wanted a squid Mohawk for guys since the announcement of new hairstyles and the other one looks really similar to my hairstyle in real life, that's why I like em.

I wants my Hydra back sooo bad.....Gonna be a long couple days...

New band:

Can't want to charge into a turf war with this playing yelling "SCOTLAND FOREVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!"

At this point I'd rather play Splatoon 1 with updated visuals and damage up and defense up removed.

I'd keep damage up, but just make it applicable to chargers only. :p Yeah though, I don't think there's any amount of extra content that will truly revive my interest in this game. Splatoon 1 is just a much better game in my opinion.

Other things I'm particularly psyched about: New music.

I'd be a lot more excited if the old music were returning as well...

Inkling hair physiology hasn't been a thing since the second game, where in the first, the boy's just being the girl's except shorter and tied back. However, at least up until this point, the hairstyles have at least all had six tentacles (actually, the buzz cut doesn't, but whatever). Inkling are just colorful T-1000s at this point.

Also, pants are still gender-exclusive. Am I the only one who is bothered by this?

 

[Reila]

I am also slightly bothered by the hairstyles. The only conclusion is the tentacles grow up again after being cut. They also somehow reappear when the kid is in squid form? Meh. Nintendo giving no ****s about lore of their games, as usual.

I think the update is dropping on Friday? I have that day off...but that's the day I'm cooking all the food for Thanksgiving! oh well, I can wait. lol

Also, is that map a mall or a grocery store? Ether way it lets me live out my greatest dream of destroying people in a retail setting... hahahaha! >: )

I'm pretty sure it's a grocery store (might I add the most boring looking grocery store I've ever seen. I mean c'mon, it's Splatoon! The most colorful game in existence!)

Boring grocery store? The hell grocery store do you go to?

Could you even tell that Inklings are supposed to be squid people at this point, had you not seen them transform? It's gotten that bad, imo.

Yeah. They are pretty much little LGBT humans now. Because you know, colorful... I will excuse myself.

 

[Mr. Squiggly Squid]

I don't get why everyone seems so obsessed with the "science" of the hairstyles. For me, as long as they look cool, I'm happy, and the new ones are pretty fresh IMO!

 

[Silxer]

Speaking of hair styles, are any of these not already shown in the trailer included or are the just concept artwork?

Spoiler

I'm guessing we'll probably get some of those down the line, since both of the boys new hairstyles are shown.

Where is a link to the video? Or where can I find the video?

Someone posted the video a little earlier in this thread, it should be on the first page.

Ah ok

I am happy the new mode is something I vaguely thought of a while back. I thought of a mode where you have to go collect things on the battlefield, and bring them back to your base. Once you collected enough then you could do something that would win the game or add points. What we have now is similar, but you have to take the clams to the enemy base, making it more of an offensive type mode. My idea was more about completing the goal quicker to the point where getting too many kills would be counterproductive, but I think this will still be a blast to play.

And of course everything else is super exciting from this trailer. Happy to see Walleye coming back, an ACTUAL fan favorite, and the ability to swap weapons and gear in the lobby is much appreciated. Funny how some of Splatoon's biggest criticisms become invalid with this one addition.

HYDRAAAAAAAAA!!!! GIMMEGIMMEGIMEEGIMEEEEEEEEeeeeee...

*ahem*

Does anyone think this the same way as I do?
