DO NOT PLAY SPLATOON 1 IN 2022...

Splatoon turns 7 years old, and with Splatoon 3 releasing summer 2022, I wanted to take my annual trip back to the original game that started the series. Turns out the multiplayer ranked battles have gotten more chaotic than I remember...

The best part about Splatoon 1 was that you hugged your splattling when you won (they should bring that back to Splatoon 3, at least for the mini splattling. That’d just be so nice)

I got into Splatoon a year late and unfortunately had no internet at the time, so I spent so many hours in single player 100% it and even did all the amiibo level challenges. I eventually experienced online play with a hotspot but it was not that good and would get disconnected sometimes. Splatoon truly made summer special for me, just thinking about it is giving me nostalgia flashbacks. Sometimes I wish I could relive that experience for the first time again.

[@majesticaaa4131]

Literally same with me for Splatoon 2. I completed campaign and then I went into online matches

[@littlemisseevee2309]

I was introduced to 1 by a friend and even after 2 I still prefer 1 but my gamepad isnt working right, and its hard to get matches in 1, very excited for splat 3 though cuz it looks like a good mix of the 2 styles of splatoon gameplay

I agree! I struggled a lot because when I got Splatoon I was in an area with no wifi access so I was stuck in the single player for quite a while. Once I got online and Splatoon 2 recently I've gotten a lot more into the game, even getting S rank recently! This community is a lot of fun and I'm glad to be a part of it :)

This made me nostalgic for when I first bought the Wii U for Splatoon. It came packaged with it... The amount of time I spent grinding for upgrades and ranks in elementary and middle was way too much.

[@Slightly_Decent]

God damn I miss this game. 2 is great and I finally got to play online recently after never being able to touch it because my switch didn't agree with my old wifi, but 1 definitely felt more fun. The specials specifically just felt so much more impactful and seemed to have a lot more kill potential than in 2. That said I still love 2 and being able to finally play online gave me a blast of nostalgia that I felt for 1.

[@stevenseufert2520]

It's been some years since I've played the first game, but I always liked the first game more than 2. The verticality of the game is part of what made it unique compared to other games in the genre. In the first game, you could ink up most vertical surfaces, but in 2 they changed the level design so only a few walls could be inked. Also in 2, you charge up ultimates faster so you get them more often, but at the cost of them being weaker (obviously). I preferred the less frequent but bigger ults from the first game.

[@brandoncharles4415]

Yeah, now that you say that, I was surprised at how few walls you could ink in 2. It felt like you were more restricted in where you could move.

[@Kyogre23456]

Moray towers is one of the best maps for me and hope they continue to bring it into future games

[@radioactivecheesenowinnucl4746]

I actually just got back into playing Splatoon 1 about three weeks ago after not playing any Splatoon at all for over three years. And goddamn it’s still fun as hell. I'm trying to complete all the goals I've had for this game since I got Splatoon 1 back sometime in early 2016, which means I'll probably be playing this game daily for at least a year. I'm somewhat concerned about the potentially limited lifespan that 3DS/Wii U online has left, especially with the upcoming eShop closures next March, but I don't think Nintendo will pull the plug on it that soon. Realistically I'd say DS/Wii U online's probably got at least another year of life after March 2023.
