Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion Trailer - Nintendo Switch

[@digglesgiggless]

[@williamfigueroa71]

kitty well my tv fell on my switch and crush it

[@Moskaato]

I’m not sure any story mode could top off what this DLC achieved. I think the reason why it was peak was because the lore of it continued in real time after you beat the expansion. Every player using the octoling online fits into the narrative of them coming to the surface which is just perfect. I have high hopes for Splatoon 3’s dlc but I’m also 100% content with ranking Octo Expansion as my #1 story experience forever lol EDIT: SIDE ORDER HYPE!!! FROM THE TRAILER ITS ALREADY LOOKING TO LIVE UP TO OCTO EXPANSION. IDK I JUST FEEL IT

Nagamatsu composed the entire soundtracks for wii sports resort and mariokart wii, and i beleive Fujii's background in many genres of music helped give this game the huge diversity of styles.

[@tartpop3873]

Tips for the expansion: In the very beginning of the game, when you first meet the phone, break it off the ground and destroy it. Then you should get on the train and kill C.Q. Cumber. Then, go to the first level, throw C.Q.'s body as a distraction to the octolings, and run. Then break the wall and go through the next level, throwing something else and continuing. At the end, when you see the blender, immediately grab the hardest and most durable thing you can find around you and throw it at the blender. If that doesn't work, shoot it or throw a weapon until it breaks, then climb to the top of it and break through the ceiling, where you will see Agent 3 hiding in the roof. Grab them and have them help you dig yourselves out, saving both of you and getting to the surface.

[@kristingarner7402]

[@leafgarrison]

Return of the Mammalians was great, but Octo Expansion was what proved that Splatoon’s single player-campaigns can actually be engaging and more than just a casual little something that’s tacked on. - Eight is the most fleshed out protagonist we’ve ever gotten in the series to date. Not only are they the first playable character to have a first person camera view, but there’s a whole lot of insight from all the poems they write for the Mem cakes. It feels like they’re speaking real dialogue through subtle means. - Marina’s Chat Room gave us more moments in between with Pearl and Marina that expand on their characters and reveal things that we haven’t actually heard before. There’s a real, actual form of authentic engagement between characters instead of just the occasional snarky commentary and the bits of text we get from pressing the A button near a character. - The story is just so much more engaging overall. Rather than just a simple affair of falling into a grate and being told to save the world, we get a tale of an Octopus girl who’s lost all of their memories, longs to reach the surface and uncovers a closeted conspiracy about a genocidal telephone running an operation where living creatures have their bodies blended into green sludge, which is then pumped and injected into other living creatures to “sanitize” them of their free will, and used to power a weapon of mass destruction, all in the name of humanity. Eight nearly ended up being blended into that very same sludge, and Three even experienced the process of sanitization with their mind hijacked by a translucent, green tentacle. When all is said and done, we get to look at the sunset as the credits roll, and celebrate the victory of finally reaching the surface. If Nintendo can only provide us with an engaging form of storytelling in Splatoon through DLC, then I’m willing to jump on that train.

I just don't get smash. It's decent and I like it, but I can't understand why people jump and rave upon hearing its name.

Maybe it's the same as how smash players don't get a game where we run around shooting ink at the ground to win.

[@EskChan19]

It's a fun brawler with all your favorite characters, and it's suprisingly complex if you want to get actually into it. Like, competitive Street Fighter kind of complex. If you want. If not it's just a game where Link beats up Mario and Pikachu. And getting the INklings in there looks like it will be even better.

Yes. Yes indeed.

me

[@SonofMrPeanut]

We've finally crossed the Paid DLC threshold, and it actually seems to be well worthwhile in this case. While I would have been irked if they were just introducing Octolings and themed gear, the inclusion of a new story mode completely justifies $20 to me.

[@periclod1877]

SonofMrPeanut well at this point it's like Splatoon 2 1/2

[@seant1326]

Also the Direct said that completing it would unlock playable Octolings for multiplayer.

[@Jaekization]

There's also 80 new stages in the new story mode. It's intense. Definitely worth $20

[@c4nnske]

80 missions, not 80 stages

[@DajuOnYoutube]

Are you talking about splatoon in particular? Because paid dlc isnt new for Nintendo.

[@davalious5107]

Given how hard the stages look and the fact that this is a $20 DLC you'll definitely know that if you see an Octoling on the other team they mean business and are probably about to wipe the floor with you if you aren't ready.

[@joshruedas5057]

[@moonbug7252]

WE'RE NOT WORTHY WE'RE NOT WORTHY

[@ChibiManny]

1:12 this looks like is implying that human form Octolings are actually genetically engineered Octolings and that would explain their behavior and their new more creepy looking forms, as they were never ment to have that form without scientifically tampering their DNA which may also explain Marina being in Inktopolis and her relation with the old man. Also that was a boy Octoling next to her in that tank so octoboys are confirmed.

[@Rayendac]

Chibi Manny I don't think it applies to all Octolings, considering that the Great Turf War was long ago and a photo of DJ Octavio in his humanoid form predates it. I doubt the technology was available at that time.

[@kero02ya]

i thought octolings just cut off one of their limbs and that's a baby or something

[@bananaman5419]

It’s just these specific two that are clones I believe. We already know that the octarians can clone people (sunken scroll 24, splat 2) My theory is that agent 8 is a clone of Octavio, since she seems to have a similar hairstyle to him, and their octopus forms look pretty similar. They’ve already made clones of him before (aka the things that control the octoweapons) but those were just tentacle creatures. It’d make sense if they finally made an octoling clone of him.

[@kero02ya]

hm, where does it show her octopus form in the trailer?

[@bananaman5419]

twoade Nowhere, there’s an official render of her octopus form going around on Twitter. I think it’s on the official JP splatoon Twitter But idk. But if you saw it you’d know what I’m talking about
