[@flare376v]

This direct was amazing I was dying when they rescheduled it The card game will be more competitive than x rank

[@michaeli4117]

The Keyboard slam with the music at 0:25 killed me more than any other part of this video, and honestly this whole video killed me even if the slam didnt happen

[@unawarefruit3401]

The song that starts at 1:38 is Oshama Scramble by t+pazolite incase anyone else went crazy wondering what it was.

[@eveningstarlopez149]

When I saw the idols I immediately realized that people are going to love big man a 100%. Octoboy came back alive and does his nutshell from some splatoon news again. This direct made octoboy made his videos come back alive once again, octoboy is excited and everyone is.

[@lewis9s]

1:35 This is every single cell in my brain seeing Big Man.

[@boombuffoon4514]

This made my day coming back from school even more than watching the actual direct during study hall. How do you make these so fast bro

[@zaybeol]

shiver has a really nice design, they just didn’t grow on me yet. frye has a personality quite similar to callie’s, and i love callie. also she has an amazing design, i honestly don’t care about the forehead. but big man… he’s the cutest thing i’ve ever witnessed in my life

[@BlueBerry20071]

Big shot is automatically my least favorite boss because the shockwaves seem super annoying.

[@goforgreengaming]

Nintendo worked so hard for this. After so many mid Brands, we got the things we wanted, and things we didn’t want, but needed.

This direct for Splatoon 3 was very veemo. I can’t believe there’s gonna be a card game which may or may not get played more than turf war (at least for me) lol I’m so conflicted on who my favourite from deepcut is.

This game is going to be legendary. This direct killed any other direct in my opinion. Yes even the smash ultimate direct

[@radladstudios]

The game looks quality for sure, but it just doesn't look different enough from Splatoon 2, there's not really much in terms of new modes, just a lot of minor changes. There's not much to get hyped for, it's essentially Splatoon 2.5 from the looks of it

[@hue_tjark]

@@radladstudios I'm sure they'll release a new mode in future updates. If I remember correctly, Clam Blitz was only added in an update too

Now you have to decided between 3 things instead of 2 Splatoon will always find a way to make a bigger forehead then before. The end.

As long as they don't put micro transactions in this the fanbase will love it.

[@aceofmeya]

@@tanimation7289 Tell me when there was microtransactions in Splatoon series? Nintendo obviously will make Is enjoy this

[@tanimation7289]

​@@aceofmeya It's more about how every (and I do mean every) online game has some kind of micro transaction system. So I thought if Splatoon gets big enough there will be micro transactions. If not then name me one big Online Game without micro transaction.
