I think the best idea for a Splatoon spinoff game would be a rhythm game. We already have Squid Beatz and Squid Beatz 2 as minigames in Splatoon 1 and 2 respectively, so it getting expanded and fleshed out into an entire rhythm game, especially with all the band lore available, would be amazing.

[@drywhall]

I hope the reason squidbeatz isn't in splat 3 is because they're doing this and not just because they're lazy.

[@plasmabasher]

Splatoon 3’s campaign took inspiration from Octo Expansion, but when you actually play the DLC levels you’ll be constantly thinking to yourself ‘Wow, I sure am glad they don’t have more of *those* levels in S3.’ The actual story itself is a breath of fresh air, the Nintendo Splatoon team is showing that they’re actually striving to make each game more unique and amazing than the last, rather than pumping out the same subpar clone of their previous game (Cough cough Call of Duty, Fifa, literally any other popular game series made by a AAA studio) The charm of Splatoon 3 may be offset by its community, seeing as the servers are so packed that you’d be lucky to get 2 games in a row without a Connection Error, or that there are some really sweaty players who rush your side of the base and prevent you from walking 3 steps without being decimated, but in all honesty, the beat part is you can avoid that with all the other options you have. Heck, you only play Turf War and Ranked to get better items for those modes, all other gamemodes rely on the teamwork and skill balancing that makes the first 2 Splatoon games so fun as well. Salmon Run was the best addition to Splatoon, since it provides a way to get money and gear without dealing with godawful Chargers and spawncampers in TW+R. I’m not even mentioning friends-only lobbies because let’s be real, nobody has 7+ friends simultaneously online and available. In a world of lazy repeats and lies, Splatoon 3 becomes our salvation. All praise Big Man.

[@theglasshalffull6958]

Splatoon is a special experience honestly. I love how closely connected the game and the fanbase are through splatfests and community posts. And every time I boot up the game I feel like I'm not playing a game if you know what I mean. It has it's shortcomings like any online shooter will but I'm so glad it exists.

This is amazing content, there is a point I want to add though: Splatoon is already one of Nintendo's "Big 4", so it's already up there with the likes of Mario, Pokemon and Zelda. Regardless, amazing video with a lot of solid points, and you deserve way more attention.

[@theglasshalffull6958]

First off, thank you! I work so hard on all these videos and I'm glad they're finally being recognized!! And yea I can see how Splatoon would be apart of this so called "big 4" but I included animal crossing due to the huge explosion of sales back in 2020. Regardless Splatoon is coming up and STRONG

[@TheRavaszEmber]

​@@theglasshalffull6958 In some promotional renders though nintendo actually doesnt include pokemon in their big 4, just Mario, LoZ, Splatoon, and Animal crossing! This is probably because Nintendo only has partial ownership of the Pokemon company, as the other 2/3rds of the Pokemon IP are split between Gamefreak and Creatures inc.

[@BlueLemonade144]

Sorry to burst your bubble but Splatoon isn’t no where near the top 3. And Franchises like Animal Crossing, Donkey Kong, and Kirby are higher than Splatoon.

[@TheRavaszEmber]

@@BlueLemonade144 maybe not in the west, but you're underestimating how massive Splatoon is in Japan. just from a quick google search, Donkey kongs top selling game of all time is Country with 9 million units across its total lifetime. But in just 3 days, Splatoon 3 has sold 1/3 of that in just ONE country alone. this isnt downplaying the history and significance of Nintendos other big IPs, but Splatoon succeeding is great because it shows that Nintendo has flexibility, tons of new talent and in house creativity. This leads to big stock investments and profits that'll keep Nintendo and ALL of its IPs going strong for years to come. Also when it comes to that render I mentioned regarding the big 4, Animal crossing was included. I imagine Donkey Kong wasnt because often times DK is lumped in with Mario rather than seen as its own IP, and Kirby is in the same boat as Pokemon where Nintendo doesnt own the full rights

[@TheRavaszEmber]

@Marav Reviews I read somewhere that Nintendo also owns 1/3 stake in TPC, and this is why Pokemon cant just cut off Nintendo as a distributor and sell their games on other platforms. Either way, we're both still right in the fact that Pokemon isnt part of Nintendos big 4 because it isnt fully owned or created by Nintendo, and that all the original credit goes to Gamefreak

My favorite part is that, in Mario Kart 8 DELUXE, Splatoon gets representation alongside LoZ and Animal Crossing even BEFORE 3 was announced. I think you are NOT far off with these predictions. Like, the most surprising part to me would be if Splatoon DOESN'T pick up as a franchise larger than its mainline games. Then again, the mainline games ARE big, but that doesn't stop Pokemon, the literal RPG franchise. Another thing, Splatoon 3 got it's own direct. Nintendo DEFINITELY has plans.

[@theglasshalffull6958]

The fact that Splatoon was included in MK8 and not something like Pokemon or Kirby is REALLY telling of how much faith Nintendo has on this series

[@lordkhar7159]

My feelings on it: The playerbase of the original game has aged and is now capable of buying the game on their own. Lots of new players from kids asking their parents and the aging playerbase getting their friends to get the game. A lot of people got the switch a few years in and were likely holding off until the third game launched like myself.

[@theglasshalffull6958]

[@pretendthisisabettername4572]

Personally I would love a splatoon spinoff that was single player and extremely lore/story based, with levels being directly connected instead of random challenges (so kind of like the final phases of OE/S3 story). Splatoon has one of my favorite fictional universes ever and I’d love to see it get expanded upon through something like that, though I’m not sure if there’d be much of a market for such a thing. I definitely think we could get a rhythm or music-based spinoff game though. The music is such an iconic part of the series and they’ve got a lot to pull from Great video btw! Pleasantly surprised to have this recommended to me ^^

[@theglasshalffull6958]

How do y’all feel about spin-off games? I honestly think this is a great new IP to do that with, especially considering how much more world building can be done with that. The only thing that makes me uncomfortable about that prospect is the IP being rapidly exhausted and the quality of the games suffering.

[@theglasshalffull6958]

I think it goes both ways. Splatoon has become such a big series that's it's kinda stupid not to expand the universe and create spin-offs revolving around the series to make it an absolute UNIT as an IP.

Squid racing would be a cool side game, introduce some kind of neutral ink that changes color as you swim through it, leaving colorful trails as you go round, powerups give you access to weapons and specials from the main game, where you jump into the air and rain paint on a foe

[@opossumking4452]

Or a co-op story driven game about an inkling and octoling getting mixed up with some third party away from the city completely

[@theglasshalffull6958]

[@cullenlatham2366]

I cant think of many ways to spin off splatoon beyond what has already been said, but it might not even need them as much as you'd think just because of how evergreen the games are. The audience does fall off as each entry gets older, but even then, you can always go back and play any entry you want up until they sever the online service. Then on a different front, it is maintaining its relevancy just by nature of cross overs. The inklings/octolings are so unique and expressive that they would fit into almost any roster. As you pointed out yourself, it is a VERY new IP for nintendo standards, yet it was instantly put into smash and mario kart, fitting both very well. If they wanted to, the inklings could easily fit into ANY mario spinoff game, with the only risk being diluting the mario IP. (Sunshine could be called beta splatoon, mario characters were one of the considerations for character models in early development, splatoon referenced sunshine very heavily as a tribute, and both have a heavy focus on mobility and platforming. After Alterna is splatoon's "champion's road". The fundamentals are the same, the difference is the ink gun.) If it did need spin offs, the obvious choices are a rhythm game as seen with squidbeats, but beyond the music, it might be a bit hard to bring in a splatoon aesthetic to go with it in a natural way. even within both 1 and 2, they were mostly just distractions; if it wasnt for the rest of the splatoon package, there wouldnt be much to identify it with. Or they could bring table turf battle to life, though that might not be as immediately feasible as it would appear (likely requiring a physical board as well as a significant amount of plastic game pieces to slot into the board). Said limitations also likely making it more difficult to play on a whim. Someone needs to bring the board and pieces, so it is not a simple "let me pull my deck out of my pocket so we can play" scenario (best case, someone has to pull out pen and paper to keep track of the board state).

[@theglasshalffull6958]

There is a lot of ways Splatoon can be brought into many games and try out different genre's as well, I've been seeing a lot of comments about a Splatoon rhythm game of sorts which I think would totally fit in line since Splatoon is so music based as well. Besides that I trust Nintendo will bring side projects of Splatoon in a good way as it just feels like Splatoon can be so much more than it is currently

[@bread-k5g]

If it is better than mario expect Major Splatoon events bigger than mario yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I actually have a great idea for a Splatoon spin-off: We simply need an adventure game that can immerse us in that game's world. Not necessarily Breath of the Wild proportions, I'm thinking more along the lines of Doom 2016, in terms of level progression

I’d love if some point in the future Splatoon had its first movie, like it could reimagine the first game, mashing together the online and story mode, like showing Agent 3 deciding on what out of the two original hairs to style. Or maybe introduce a new agent and have some returning characters. (Personally i just want to her Calimari Inkantation in the theatre)

The Octo Expansion made me cry. The music omg is so good

[@theglasshalffull6958]

All Splatoon music goes crazy but I haven't heard much from Octo 2 yet

[@obobob1867]

I think a solid factor of why it sold so well is that the multiplayer is time driven. There is a schedule in signing up for a team (and this time around, there is even three-way battles) and actually doing your best for the sake of the team only for you to do it again next splatfest. Also the final one of Splatoon 1 did affect the story for Splatoon 2. Splatoon 2's final splatfest didn't have that affect in the story but there is a spiritual meaning to it in design.

[@theglasshalffull6958]

Yea I agree! The game feels so closely connected to the community that it encourages people to buy every sequel so they don’t miss out on the community experience
