Even without botw 2 the year is packed for the switch. Bayonetta 3 probably an October game to promote it as a Halloween title. Pokemon and probably another exclusive for November/December. Zelda content has been yearly for a while so a remaster/port/remake is possible too.

I didnt think splatoon 1 would take off the way it did, crazy that we are already at number 3. Good for them!
We still don't have Switch ports of the WiiU Twilight Princess or Wind Waker.

I'm psychedddddddd (even though I was Team Order in the final splatfest).
Hopefully they put out a new pro controller color. Probably a couple new amiibos also since Splatoon always gets those. Also going to import the OST as I did on part 1 and 2, and the Octopath expansion.

I think anybody expecting Bayo 3 better temper their expectations.

That could work. Also Grezzo could be developing something too, their last Zelda game was in 2019.

If you never played the Octo Expansion, it's pretty awesome for single player content.I'm one of the weird ones who buys these games mainly for the campaign lol
I love the mix of platforming and 3rd person shooter with excellent gyro controls(although the gyro aiming in 2 was a bit laggy compared to 1)
The campaigns are always amazing, and have great boss fights.

You know what, Nintendo just regularly drops information and seems to always have a steady release of games every few months. its not something I expected from them after the Wii U and IMO its embarrassing that Sony and Microsoft are so far behind them when it comes to messaging and releases.
Good on you nintendo!

Yeah, but Kamiya's been a bit flaky of late, asking Microsoft for money and such. I'm hoping for the best, but bracing for the worst.Definitely coming this year. Would've been delayed by now.

It's legitimately fantastic, one of the best games I've played these past few years. Tons of creative ideas and gameplay scenarios, great atmosphere, fantastic OST and surprisingly challenging.
Going to play it today.

Yeah but remember Bayonetta 3 is being developed with Nintendo money. That's why they have been able to develop the game for 5 years, there's just a few companies that would allow that.
He just blocked you on Twitter for this.

I think he literally blocked me because I asked to during the Wonderful 101 kickstarter and I forgot to request to be unblocked.

Not sure if it's smart for Nintendo to release Splatoon 3 on the same day they stealth launch Dreamcast games for NSO
Actually I wouldn't be shocked if this is the same day as God of War.

Looks like the release date swap with Xenoblade 3, made more sense since Splatoon would probably sold more close to the holiday season!
Missing the barren Summer window which has infinite potential to start the game with a strong userbase is a really dumb move.
It's not to fix bugs, the game will still release with all the same classics like idlers ruining sessions by making it actually 3v4, if you only have ONE idler on your team.
Also despite everyone PAYING for online right now there's a 99% chance that we'll end up with P2P matchmaking AGAIN.
No real way to STOP GLITCHERS and CHEATERS.
Nintendo learns nothing.
This really so far looks like Splatoon 2 expansion pack.
I enjoyed Splatoon 2 but all the things listed ruined the experience for me.

I think it's traditionally come out in summer (May/July) for part 1 and 2. Maybe Splatoon 3 just needed a few more months this time? Interesting; I think you're right about the swap.

That looks VERY incremental. I hope that there are new fresh gameplay mechanics to justify the 5 years of dev.

Well we know of at least two new core mechanics, the new respawn system and the squid roll move that doubles as a parry of sort.

I just looked at this and it looks like Nintendo is releasing the same game a third time.
This sounds like a DLC or even a balance patch.

1, 2, and 3 are all very similar. They did 2 basically instead of porting 1 over like every other Wii U game. And this is a direct sequel to that. I think it's fair to call these very incremental sequels. Part 2 did add the whole co-op mode and stuff, multiple new weapons, new stages, new campaign. This will probably do that as well.
Hopefully they do a larger graphical leap on Splatoon 4 on the next console.

COD and other games do it, the fans have enough sense to scream bloody murder and not buy the games.
Nintendo does it and you get all these apologists coming out of the woodworks.
That's not inflammatory, this is pure objective observation.
I'm wondering how many maps they'll put in this one, and how many will actually be new. I have very little hopes.

I don't think two new core movement mechanics can be called a "balance patch".
COD is released every year.
The last Splatoon was released....checks notes....in 2017.
This makes is even WORSE that it's such subtle changes. Your "defense" doesn't even remotely justify the issue that these changes are incremental.
When looking at the trailers fans should have been like "DAMN, I recognize the core things, but the changes have blown me away". Instead it's "Oh look they added 1 or 2 new mechanics".
Just watch, Splatoon 3 will have awful P2P networking instead of dedicated servers in 2022, and people will come up with shitty reasons why it's BETTER.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Still looks brilliant & fresh even though it's the third in a series and it's just gameplay footage instead of a fancied up trailer. Nintendo really managed to make something special. Of the few mp games I wish were multiplatform but obviously that can't happen. Edit: lol @ the triggered concern troll.

Well at least you'll be mad at them before it even happens. You sure showed that loser.
Splatoon is a bit unusual for Nintendo. Most of their main series get one entry per console generation, like Smash or Mario Kart. Splatoon could do that as well if they wanted, but they feel like putting out new entries for this series for some reason. Maybe still trying to get a sense of how popular it is since it's new. Who knows?
I think it's fine to criticize incremental sequels, and I admitted that they are. But the series does enough to keep my good will, easily. No microtransactions, tons of support with additional content for 2 years, traditional large expansion priced fairly. Part 2 is by far my most played Switch game at several hundred hours. I'm ready for a new entry, even if it's a light sequel. Switch 2 is probably at least 2 years away. If they wanted to do a second Splatoon 2 expansion with new content, that would have been fine with me as well. At least this way we get a new hub world, new campaign, new stages, new weapons, new specials, new OST, new co-op updates.

I guess my joke fell flat? I never said you attacked me. I was trying to point out how odd it was that you're trashing an imaginary person that in the future is a p2p online apologist for a game that comes out in 5 months. I thought that was weird!
P.S. I'll be 10 in September. Going to ask for a Splatoon-themed birthday party. You're not invited.

As I've stated, I do enjoy SPLATOON, but it's what Nintendo doesn't do with it and now they're asking for $60($80 in CND) for a few tweaks and a map pack.
Being a fan of a Nintendo franchise and actually GIVING A FUCK about your money and what a game CONTAINS is harder than being a Battlefield fan.
Preview of the party:
Fuck I miss funny dtoid... and good dtoid in general.

I was kind of hoping this would have a bigger/longer single player campaign.
I hope they've at least improved the multiplayer to let you play with friends. I dont understand having a PVP focused game and making the online system so damn remedial

One would hope, as many companies understand accessibility needs that they'd allow you to change that color in options in 2022, but again this is Nintendo so probably not.

I'd expect Splatoon 3 and Xenoblade 3 to sell less than their predecessors. But you never know?
