HIME CUTS

ああああああああああああああああああ

(*´Д`)ﾊｧﾊｧ

Players who want to change gear between battles in Regular Battle, Ranked Battle and Splatfest Battle (Solo) won’t have to exit to the lobby anymore! After downloading the update, gear can be swapped out without leaving the match room, making it quicker to get back to splatting. For Regular Battle, this also means you can play the next battle with the same players.

Is this Splatoon 3? Also, where did this news come from? Did it just suddenly drop overnight?

I'm guessing Pearl or Marina makes a bad "cleanup on Aisle 3" joke when introducing the stage.

There's a new trailer.

>Arowana Mall are popular stages returning from the original Splatoon game.

Hopefully it's all rank 3.
Jackets look cool tho, hopefully they bring back some Splatoon 1 fashion on the cheap.
I want my trenchcoat and shades, don't show up to Inkopolis tomorrow

That short haired nerd boy haircut just might be the first good haircut for male inklings.

AMERICAN
FOOTBALL
Is that what's fashionable in Japan now/?

Hoepfully that's a local mode

Why do people play this? This game looks retarded.

NEW WAIFU

Its fun, the mechanics actually have a ton of depth
The weapon types are pretty laterally different, even in the same sub-category

JOOSTMY!

why would they release this a few days before xenoblade 2?

I want to fuck that green fish

YES
FUCK WEAPONS I JUST WANT NEW COSMETIC SHIT
SPLATLING GUN WILL NEVER BE SURPASSED ANYWAY

Finally a cute hairstyle for boys

>the grocery store sells the fruit that's grown in Kelp Dome

Wow that is simply awful. Male inklings always look pretty shit unless you go with shaved head and the blackest skin color.

Did you post in the wrong thread?

SKELETONS CONFIRMED

Reminds me of that Korean art style that K-Pop stars love so much

>more old stages
christ

Want some good connection?, fuck you! have an used modem that sucks dick all day and goes down because it felt so like every 30 minutes...or you can go movistar and be fucked in thousands of different ways with its "muh optics fiber"

Trying to figure what species she is.

The fins looks very Koi-ish (almost transparent with 3 tips coming off)

d e e p e s t

When's the octoling update? When's the Callie and Marie comeback update?

fuck off, sonygglet.

...

Begone so(n)yboy

Sorry it doesn't have microtransactions and a season pass like you're used to soyboy.

*Korean Hair Style

>the update will let players take and share in-game photos in preset locations in Battle Stages, in addition to being able to take photos in Inkopolis Square. Players can also add fun filters to their images.
>Players can also add fun filters to their images.
Thank you Odyssey!

> work in a mall full of rich chinese fuckbois

This is incredibly accurate.

>That fucking straight up J11s on the left.

They're getting lazier with the whole altering thing.

It's 140, but yes it is a huge fucking content blast.

All literally free too. I honestly wonder how Nintendo makes money off of Splatoon 2 outside the initial asking price and whatever amiibo figures it has.

>all these squids mutilating their tentacles just to be fashionable

I hope she gets some fanart like that anemone girl in abxy did

This update adds bareback.

woomy

These are already in the game in white though.

FULL PATCH NOTE (1/2)

'''Four New Battle Stages'''
While four new battle stages are coming to Splatoon 2, they won't all be available immediately after downloading the update. The first new battle stage, MakoMart, will be available to play on Nov. 24. The new MakoMart stage is a giant superstore-style stage, so what better place to play on Black Friday! Shellendorf Institute, Walleye Warehouse and Arowana Mall roll out over the subsequent weeks. Shellendorf Institute is new to the series, while Walleye Warehouse and Arowana Mall are popular stages returning from the original Splatoon game.

'''Salmonid Smokeyard'''
New Salmon Run Stage: Fan-favorite multiplayer mode Salmon Run is getting a new stage. After downloading the update, Salmonid Smokeyard will be added to the rotation. In Salmonid Smokeyard, a wide gap on the beach divides two upper platforms, with fan lifts being the quickest way to traverse the two platforms. Teamwork is required to use the fan lifts effectively.

'''New Gears'''
Approximately 140 pieces of gear are being added to Splatoon 2, including new shoes, headgear, and clothes. Items include a motocross mask, additional winter gear (just in time for the cold weather), and returning items from the original Splatoon game.

'''New Battle Musics'''
Two new bands have been gaining popularity in Inkopolis! The punk-flavored Bottom Feeders and classically-trained avante garde-style Ink Theory are contributing new songs to the already music-rich game.

Check what I got today fags.

And it's fucking BEEFY too. 322 pages and it's the fucking size of the Xenoblade Chronicles X special edition, not tiny like the special editions dinky softcover artbook.

Also there are splat marks of lamination on the cover of the book.

That's more than enough with 5 million+ sales. A game like Splatoon probably costs 10% of what a Battlefront or Anthem costs to develop.

>This week will see the addition of new maps, an increased level cap, more hairstyles and music tracks, and a whopping 140 pieces of gear, followed by a new competitive mode in December. It’s substantially larger than any previous update, and Nogami says that this deluge of content is designed in part to make Splatoon 2 more enticing ahead of the busy holiday shopping season. “We’re hoping that we’ll be able to invite in a group of new players who get the game,” he says, “or who are maybe picking up a Switch at the end of the year.”

>The first part of the update will start rolling out on November 23rd, and will include the majority of the new content. The fresh gear will include some fan-favorite clothing options from the original Splatoon, as well as a wealth of cold weather-themed items like ski masks, warm jackets, and thick, cozy sweaters. “We had something in mind like offering a fall collection, or a winter collection, similar to what you see in the fashion industry in the real world,” art director Seita Inoue says of the additions.

>There will also be four more hairstyle options to choose from, and a pair of new tracks to listen to during battles. The update also introduces some quality-of-life tweaks for veteran players: the level cap has been raised from 50 to 99, and you’ll now finally be able to switch up your gear without having to leave the multiplayer lobby.

FLAVOR TOWN

It's clearly WhaleMart

>all these humans mutilating their hair just to be fashionable

FULL PATCH NOTE (2/3)

'''New Hairstyles'''
When customizing an Inkling, four new hairstyles will be available to choose from—two each for female and male characters.

'''Higher Level Caps'''
Currently, players are maxed out at Level 50. After downloading the update, the new maximum level will be raised to 99. If you talk to Judd when you reach Level 99, you'll have the option to reset and have your level display as Level 1 so you can continue raising your level.

'''New amiibo Functionality'''
Tapping a compatible amiibo figure after the update will let players take and share in-game photos in preset locations in Battle Stages, in addition to being able to take photos in Inkopolis Square. Players can also add fun filters to their images.

'''Convenient Gear Swapping'''
Players that want to change gear between battles in Regular Battle, Ranked Battle and Splatfest Battle (Solo) won't have to exit to the lobby anymore! After downloading the update, gear can be swapped out without leaving the match room, making it quicker to get back to splatting. For Regular Battle, this also means you can play the next battle with the same players.

Actually 2 updates:

>Nov 23
Makomall for Black Friday, 3 other maps rolling out in subsequent weeks (Shellendorf Institute is new museum, Arowana and Walleye Warehouse back from Splatoon 1)
Salmonid Smokeyard added to Salmon Run rotation
140 Items across clothing, headgear and footwear
4 new hairstyles
Level cap upped to 99 from 50, can also prestige at 99 to *1 and go up to *99
Amiibo can e used to take photos in battle maps alongside the Inkopolis square

>Mid Dec
Adds Clam Blitz mode
First to 100 points, need to gather 10 to form the hand-egg to break barrier and start accumulating points

We know that support for the game will stop after 2 years, which I'm sure they could extend it if they added MTX and such.

I hope people datamine this update and find more evidence of playable octos.

It's a free update you dumb faggot

>handegg mode

gimme

FULL PATCH NOTE (3/3)

'''Clam Blitz'''
A second free update, arriving mid-December, includes a new game mode: Clam Blitz! In Clam Blitz, competing Inklings are tasked with collecting clams scattered around the stage. After one is picked up, the clam follows the player. The objective is to throw the clam into the basket near the opponent's base. The first team to score 100 points wins! But, of course, this being the fiercely competitive world of Splatoon 2, things are not as easy as they seem. The baskets are protected by a barrier, which much be destroyed first. After collecting 10 clams, the player will earn a Power Clam. These super-powered clams are the key to breaking the barrier, so strategy will definitely be involved in which clams are used to destroy the barrier and which are used to earn points. Not to mention the extra-satisfying opportunity to steal opponents' clams by splatting them.

i own it too. pretty big indeed. also have the jp version

and soon the splatoon 2 artbook will come out

Is that a JoJobin reference?

I'm too scared to play Splatoon 2 any more because I'm afraid I'll lose my S rank.

>Players that want to change gear between battles in Regular Battle, Ranked Battle and Splatfest Battle (Solo) won't have to exit to the lobby anymore!

They took two fucking games for this but they finally did it.

how much?
I love concept art

It's a first party game, so they don't have to pay a cut to a platform manufacturer like third-party publishers have to do. It's also a relatively cheap game to make, especially when it's mostly based on the first Splatoon. And with it selling millions of copies they're making insane profits.

>Then on the 24th, Nintendo will start rolling out four new maps for the game. The first, called “MakoMart,” takes place in a giant big-box retail store, which Nogami says the team specifically made sure to get ready for Black Friday in the US. Over the following weeks, three more maps will debut, set in a museum, shopping mall, and warehouse, respectively. Nintendo will then follow that up in mid-December with the release of Splatoon 2’s fourth ranked battle mode, called “clam blitz.”

>Here’s how the company describes it:

In “clam blitz,’ competing inklings are tasked with collecting clams scattered around the stage. After one is picked up, the clam follows the player. The objective is to throw the clam into the basket near the opponent’s base. The first team to score 100 points wins. But, of course, this being the fiercely competitive world of Splatoon 2, things are not as easy as they seem. The baskets are protected by a barrier, which must be destroyed first. After collecting 10 clams, the player will earn a power clam. These super-powered clams are the key to breaking the barrier, so strategy will definitely be involved in which clams are used to destroy the barrier and which are used to earn points.

>Though it’s much bigger than previous updates, the new slate of content goes along with Nintendo’s goal of continually updating Splatoon 2 in order to keep players returning, a concept that dates back to the original game on the Wii U. It’s a philosophy that the company has embraced of late, with post-release updates helping extend the life of games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8, and Arms, among others.

It was only like 30 bucks on Amazon, total fucking steal in my opinion.

>Ink Theory
is there a music sample for them too yet?

Tons of manchildren itt :^)

>“All three of the existing ranked battle modes involve teams competing for control of something, whether it’s an area or an object,” says Shintaro Sato, programming director on the game. “And we thought with “clam blitz” we would add plurality to that gameplay. So now the stage is littered with clams, and there are multiple items for players to possess and compete for. The idea being that players will gather clams as a team and need to carry them forward to push the frontlines of the battle forward.

>“With the existing three modes, we drew inspiration from a variety of sources, whether that was different genres of games or from sports like rugby. This time around, rather than following that pattern, we thought ‘How could we create a new mode that would be different?’ That was the base that we started from.”

>This series of updates is expected to keep things going until around February of next year, and Nintendo has said that it plans to keep supporting the game for a year after launch. Nogami notes that the updates could potentially extend further than that, saying that the team is currently in the “planning stages” for what that future support could look like. Whatever it ends up being, though, these kinds of updates aren’t just a way to keep Splatoon in the spotlight. They’re intrinsic to the game itself.

>“An idea that’s sort of baked into Splatoon at the most fundamental level is that we’re not exactly releasing a game when you buy that package,” says Nogami. “But it’s more that we’re releasing an experience that evolves over time.” And at a time when that model often proves controversial, Nintendo seems to be doing it the right way with Splatoon.

Someone wake me up when they make Octolings playable

They need to do this after they obviously lost playerbase thanks to Mario Odyssey

They are going to lose even more of their playerbase permanently in January when you need to pay to play online.

was from a new interview with Producer Hisashi Nogami about the importance of a constantly evolving game

also.

nice to hear they might extend the update period

OH THE ALBUM CAN MAKE AN ENGLISH PUN, BUT NOT THE TITLE OF THE GAME!?

A better analogy would've been circumcision.
