But on the other hand, Splatoon 2 will have been around for about 5 years which is plenty of time for a new entry to be in the pipeline.Īnyway, the trailer starts us out in a desert where we then see a hooded Inkling. I wasn’t entirely sure it would have also been on the Switch, usually if it’s not a Mario or Zelda game odds are it will be the only entry on the platform. So with two highly successful games so far, it was only a matter of time before a third one would be made. The recent announcement has undoubtedly resulted in some rebuys from old players who want to practice up, and new players who want to see what the fuss is about. Splatoon 2 came out two years later in 2017 sold millions upon millions more than the original and is still selling now. It didn’t turn the Wii U around, but it did far better than what anyone would have expected.

Moreover, it was a fantastic and yes, fresh, take on the team shooter that combined a new, and deep movement system not seen since the era of arena shooters like Unreal Tournament with the team emphasis of games like Battlefield and Team Fortress 2. on a failing console that still managed to sell an obscene number of copies. Many bought a Wii U just for those two games. were two franchises that kept it at retail for awhile. Splatoon was in many ways the best thing to happen to that console. I won’t go into that well travelled dead horse of a topic, but to suffice it to say it didn’t really sell very well. A console that while really cool, failed to catch on for a whole host of reasons. Splatoon launched on the Nintendo Wii U in 2015. So when I got home that night I watched the trailer for myself, and some thoughts have been percolating over the last few days about it, so I’ll go a little bit more in-depth here than I really could on Twitter.įirst off, I’m not all that surprised there will be a Splatoon 3. Almost immediately after that, my phone was blowing up with social media notifications, texts from people, and on. Now the surprise had been a little bit blown for me as I had to work during the initial broadcast and my coworkers told me they dropped a trailer as their phones buzzed them. But then at the very end, they said “Oh before we leave there’s one last thing for you to see” and then came a trailer for Splatoon 3. While I would have liked some other surprises, there was a lot for every kind of player there. A bunch of new RPGs, some Monster Hunter games we knew about were expanded on. They showed a lot of popular games were making their way over to Switch like Fall Guys, Apex Legends, Hades which was kind of neat. And while they didn’t have anything to show on The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2, they did let us know there was an HD remaster of Skyward Sword coming, which admittedly looks pretty neato.

This time out there was some disappointment that there was no mention of how the Metroid Prime 4 restart is going, and not much from lapsed series like F-Zero. Every one of these videos always excites some, disinterests others, and for some reason, others get so upset they act completely irrationally about it. For the five of you who just came out from under a rock, Nintendo recently released their first full-length Direct where they showed off games and products per usual.

By now there are countless others within the gaming community with their own thoughts about what’s going on in the limited footage we were shown. I know I’m really late to the party on this one, at least in article form.
