In addition to this weekend’s Splatoon 3 Splatoon 3 ‘Summer Nights’ Splatfest, Nintendo has released a special new interview featuring all the past and present groups and idols appearing in the series. These include ‘Deep Cut’, the ‘Off the Hook’ crew from Splatoon 2 and the ‘Squid Sisters’ from the first Splatoon game.
Oh, and if you’re wondering about a collaboration anytime soon – it looks like it could be on the horizon. Here’s a small part of Nintendo’s interview:
Interviewer: We’ve seen a lot of fans hoping for a collaboration between all three of your groups.
A great man: Yes! yes (That sounds great! I’d be up for that anytime.)
Shiver: Should I reserve time for a special Anarchy Splatcast? Heh heh, imagine what that would do for our viewership…
Callie: Ooh! I just had a brilliant idea!
Marie: Just a minute, Callie. Drums please…
Callie: We will make a song where we will all be in!
Marina: What?!
A great man: Aaah?!
Frye: Hey, let’s talk now!
Callie: What do you think? Exciting, right?
Marina: That is SUCH a great idea! Excellent. It’s just…
Marie: What is it?
Marina: I have no idea how that would sound.
Marie: Ahh, because our styles are so different.
Shiver: Fortunately, we have an expert on such things. Right, Big Man?
A great man: Yes! yes (I knew I’d stress about it! It’s hard enough keeping the three of us together, let alone all seven of us.)
Pearl: Ah, it will be fine. Marina helps you, and she is a genius!
Marina: I am trying. Let’s work together and do our best!
A great man: Yes? yes (You mean it? One of you is worth 300 ghostwriters.)
Frye: Well, if we’re doing this, we have to come up with a group name for the seven of us. How about Seafood Squad?
Callie: I have one! Tricolor All-Stars!
Marina: Star angle is good, but how about Sparkling ☆ Seven Sea Stars?
Pearl: I don’t feel any of this.
Marie: Well, we all sing Now or Never!, right? What about The Now or Nevers?
Shiver: It works. Nice, Marie.
A great man: Yes. yes (I think it’s fresh. It conveys the urge to lay down lots of turf and not let the moment pass you by.)
Marina: I still feel something is missing.
Frye: Then let’s go all out and be the Extra-Large Seafood Squadron Now or Never Seven!
Callie: Cooooool! I love how it sounds like a superhero team!
Marie: Hits on white clothes.
Shiver: Too long! We don’t need the “Extremely Large Seafood Squadron” part!
Pearl: So, only now or never seven? That’s great with everyone? Then let’s go!
You can read the entire interview at Nintendo’s website. Splatfest is also taking place this weekend with teams divided into ‘Team Palace’, ‘Team Theme Park’ and ‘Team Beach’. Nintendo also recently announced that they will be releasing a physical version of Splatoon 3 with the Expansion Pass DLC.
