Did anyone else notice that the permanent upgrades seem to be done by Marina? It mentioned hacking, and had her symbol when 8 chose the upgrade.

[@Vaynores]

the special cans also have her eyes painted on them!

[@Coalgate_frsh]

I think it might have ties with deadfish, who may or may not be another high ranking octoling official. I feel like Marina has some larger role in the plot of the DLC, but I have no idea what could come from this. Marina is probably just going to, in typical splatoon fashion, be controlled by whatever force is at play (never heard that one before)

[@EmberTheLich]

You can also hear a voice in the background at 3:43 , I had thought it was Acht, but we hear her voice at 1:27 . Acht's voice is higher and more nasally than the voice on the permanant upgrade screen, so it could very well be Marina or a pre-recording/AI of her!

Gonna warn you incase you pickup splatoon 4 at launch- Servers always get massacred the first few months this game is out- The best experience is always about this far into the games life, but a big part about these games are how much content they give us over time, the game started with 6 stages and now we have 22. We have more weapons, new subs, and specials simce the launch. Seeing the game evolve is pretty neat too. I had to take a break after launch because of connection issues but the last few weeks have been the best splatoon experience Ive had across all 3 of it's installments. 🙃 Glad to see new players still! :D

[@maxpowers6738]

@@TheMegaMarshtompI think it's foreshadowing that Nintendo doesn't have that many games left for the Switch as they are working on its successor.

end game gear is super cute just kinda wish we got skin customization afterwards cause i love how the ink glows/looks on agent 8

Imagine getting all the way to the top, lose and have to go through All the floors again and possibly still fail when you get to the top again. *it's the pantheon of hallownest all over again!*

[@markgonzales7648]

Yay they brought 8 ball back and the fact you have to start all over from the beginning is amazing

[@cylop224]

The pearls currency shows Nintendo knows how to do a good roguelike and that they've been paying attention to what games like Dead Cells and Hades did right. I.e. you might have lost all your progress, but every run has new possibilities because you don't start completely empty handed.

[@normanred9212]

It's called padded out gameplay due to lack of story, material, and ideas. Idk wtf these devs are thinking, Splatoon 3 has been nothing but bad choices and decisions nonstop besides the main story mode. This will NOT save the game, now if the roguelite feature was an unlockable mode that would be fine but for the main mode it is BAD

[@cylop224]

@@normanred9212 If you're not a fan of roguelikes, fair enough. Personally, though, I'm here for it.

[@emostarmoon_0045]

@@normanred9212 hope i dont come off as aggressive here (i struggle with tone alot) but have you done anything but complain about rougelites in this comment section? most of the time i click on view replies for random comments on this video and its you again i get that you dont like them and thats very fair, me neither really, but i dont think its going to kill the game (yeah i agree that alot of choices have sucked), plus nobodys forcing you to buy the DLC. chill out and get something nice for yourself, theres better things in life than complaining about a silly cephalopod game DLC not being in the game type you want. this is going to sound weird from a random internet stranger but remember to take care of yourself i guess, hope you have a nice day!

[@cubechan1938]

But what if, you made it a challenge to complete the game in a single run? No upgrades? Then, you *couldn't* save the game with New Game +.

[@NickthePhilliesStan]

Has anyone noticed that this is heavily inspired by hades? If you dont understand, stuff like extra lives being interestingly similar to death defiances in hades and PRLZ are basically darkness if you have ever played hades. The weapon unlock system is the exact same, unlocking weapons (color pallets or whatever) with keys or other things you get by beating bosses with different weapons. The chips are boons, and the idea of picking your room also seems inspired. And also, just like hades, when you beat the game, you keep trying over and over, still progressing with the story. Just saying!
