You know what I really want to see in this game?

I hope, whether it's a one time event thing, or an alternate game mode, a chance to actually challenge Callie, Marie, Pearl and Marina in turf war, rainmaker, splat zones or tower control. Hell even doing co-op with them in Salmon run would be a blast. Put them on a hard difficulty AI or actually controlled by employees of Nintendo.

Not a bad idea, maybe it could be used for potential Pearl & Marina amiibo.

I just want playable Octolings....



I DON'T ASK FOR MUCH.

I always thought there should be a leader based game mode in Splatoon where a random player each game is given the role as Callie/Marie, or Pearl/Marina. Playing as each one gives you special abilities, which you use to push an objective. Not sure what kind of objectives this would revolve around, but it would be pretty cool if done right.

That seems like it would be a raid of some sort. A huge Octarian base with countless enemies, a small team of Inklings lead by Callie or Marie as Agents 1 or 2, all storming the castle or something.

Oh, that would be an interesting idea. I've imagined a competitive horde mode myself, spitballing reasons why Splatoon 1 had improved Octoling models since I never believed they'd become playable, but a Warriors mode like the Tecmo Koei games would be fascinating. I don't think it would happen, though, since it wouldn't work well on the existing maps.

And just one AI "queen" to protect? No thank you. I hate escort missions. Rainmaker is just right, since one person isn't the bearer the whole time, but if it were a permanent assignment, especially if it were an AI, that would be frustrating as heck. Besides, it would be a severe programming challenge. The octolings in single-player aren't very bright; a robust AI would take a lot more doing.

Now, if you wanted the idols to show up in battle, how about this: If your team is the #1 team in League, you get to use a custom avatar for 24 hours in Ranked and Regular. You have a few presets to choose from, but if you own a matching amiibo (Callie, Marie, and whatever others they print), you can use that.
