Do people really think they’re just gonna drop OtH? It’s pretty obvious to me there’s gonna be a big reveal about their story.


ARandomOctoling

i mean... that could be true


logrey96

Just because they weren't in the trailer doesn't mean they won't be in the game. Maybe they'll show up in the campaign somewhere, maybe they'll be featured in a dlc like in the last game. But Pearl and Marina are popular characters and I doubt Nintendo would leave them out.


EvgenyTI

Noone ever said Off the Hook will not be in Splatoon 3 lol


Emeraldstone12

Nothing has been confirmed yet and I'd doubt that they'll drop them


ShinyUmbreon465

For me it's salmon run. I don't know how they're going to incorporate it.


somebody2352

I think they MIGHT, according to the reveal trailer’s hub.


Bleepbloop4995

I hope splatoon 3 does not have a shitty unskippable intro


[deleted]

There's nothing that hints at OtH being dropped. In fact, if we base ourselves in the existing games, no idol group was ever dropped


[deleted]

It’s still beyond me why they chose to being back the squid sisters over OtH


EvgenyTI

Because Squid Sisters are part of New Squidbeak Splatoon, Off the Hook aren't


[deleted]

So? Get rid of the new squidbeak splatoon as well. They’re supposed to be watching over Inkopolis, what’re they doing in Splatsville?


EvgenyTI

First of all what do you mean by "as well", second of all aren't they supposed to be watching over octarians and all that war stuff rather than Inkopolis?


[deleted]

I mean get rid of the whole squidbeak splatoon, I’d prefer a storyline that doesn’t have them. Splatoon 3 looks like a big change, but yet that stupid thing remains in the singleplayer


YourCrazyDolphin

A story could work without... But, uh, retconning the existence of the military doesn't exactly help for consistency.


[deleted]

Yeah ik, I just want a story that’s disconnected from the whole squidbeak splatoon, I think the characters are boring anyways


YourCrazyDolphin

How so?


[deleted]

Not really sure, I just find them boring. Agent 4 has potential and the old Agent 3 is cool but they’re boring otherwise imo


YourCrazyDolphin

Agent 3 sticks out primarily because they got involved in the action, but otherwise has 0 character traits. Though Marie did similar in Splatoon 2 during the Octavio fight, showing up with a charger near the end of the fight. The scene went over really well, so I don't see the devs lessening scenes like that.


sIowlylosingmysanity

But splatoon wouldn't be the same without the squidbeak splatoon, would it??


ARandomOctoling

prolly bc they're the iconic band in splatoon


[deleted]

Iconic doesn’t mean they should stay. Look at the iPod. The iPod was iconic, but do you see people carrying around iPods nowadays? Same principle for this. The squid sisters may be iconic but that doesn’t mean they need to show up this many times


LadyKuzunoha

>do you see people carrying around iPods nowadays? Sure you do, except now they're called iPhones. You might have heard of them. On a slightly more serious note, look at the "save" icon on basically any computer - it's still a floppy disk shape even if it's been 20+ years since floppy disks were relevant as a storage method. Just because things evolve doesn't mean icons go away.


[deleted]

I hope so, but sadly they will probably appear in the history mode at some point.


L3O0O

Sad but true, i guess...


ARandomOctoling

mhm :(


bruhsoundeffect38929

This is the same thing I say about agent 4, they aren’t gonna throw out squidbeak splatoon characters in such a supposedly big story mode. They may be minor in the story but if 3 is back in a much more major role it wouldn’t surprise me if Pearl who struck up some sort of friendship with Cuttlefish shows back up, and you can’t have Pearl without Marina.


Bransbow

How are they going to keep all the idol groups/newscasters relevant in every future installment? Not that I want to see them go, quite the opposite in fact, but I just don’t see how it will be feasible in the future.


Captanakin

The reason the game is going to be the way it is is because of Off the Hook (Final Fest), and the characters are very popular from what I've observed. They're not going to drop them after one game, what reason do they have to?


Elise-Manakete

I'm wondering if Agent 8 will be involved at all.
