Splatoon - Did You Know Gaming? Feat. Jimmy Whetzel 

Did you know? The plural for the word octopus is octopuses. The word octopus derives from Ancient Greek, not Latin. If it derived from Latin, 'octopi' would be the correct plural. But it isn't derived from Latin, so octopi is invalid, and octopuses is correct. 'Octopodes' is also valid.

So glad they decided against making this another Mario game. Splatoon has become Nintendo's best new IP in years. It's already a classic and has so much potential for future games in the franchise. Easily my favorite Wii U game.

Here's a scary fun fact about Splatoon barely anyone knows - this game in it's VERY early stages was going to be worked on by High Voltage Software. Nintendo closed the partnership with them after it had leaked out that the developer was working on a "liquid themed game for Nintendo that has Miyamoto involved". I know this because friends worked at the studio at the time.

Holy shit I was waiting for this. Thanks DyKG.

Man, Did You Know Gaming is sitting on a gold mine this month.

OK, don't lie. As soon as you heard the starting drum beat at the start of the video, you began headbanging or dancing in some way. Again, don't lie. You know you did it. Honestly, I can't blame you. The music for Splatoon is unreal.

Good video, but you should post your sources. As far as I can tell, most of the information came from the Iwata Asks interview and the Splatoon Wikia. Speaking of the Splatoon Wikia this the video... I have a major issue with the way the Inkbrush "Pablo" and Octobrush "Hokusai" was presented in the video. It's very obvious that Hokusai is a reference to the artist itself, (Just like Pablo is) instead of a specific painting. The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife is NOT Hokusai's most influential/ famous work as that honor very clearly goes to "The Wave". As I live in Japan myself, I can tell you that The Wave is always brought up when discussing Hokusai, and not the former. I don't mean to get SJW/ bringing up Orientalism in here...but the way the two references are discussed in this video are as follows: Picasso gets a brush name reference because he's an artist. Hokusai gets a brush name reference because he's an artist who drew octopuses and a woman going at it. I think you can see the issue with the way these two artists are referenced. Unless of course you have a source which specifically states that Hokusai was chosen as the name because of "The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife", I'm going to have to say this is misleading information. I've removed that information from the Splatoon Wikia as it doesn't belong there without a proper source.

3:00 Evidently also inspired by stock Microsoft Word fonts

No mention of the creepy clanging/screaming sounds that play in the background if you turn down the music at the beginning/end of a boss level?

Splatoon is the ultimate "one more game" this gen

4:36 don't say froyo man, don't be that guy

Having FLUUD as a little cameo weapon would actually be pretty cool. Am I alone on this?

5:45 and that my friends is how the Octolings were made. 😂

And in Splatoon 2, the Inklings are now 16 years old.

Splatoon has alot of skateboarding elements, does the idea of a Splatoon Skateboarding spin-off in the vain of Tony Hawk (back when they were good) intrigue anyone else?

Still waiting on that red,white,and black ink

I kid, I squid, I kid again. Splatter me!

I was an Octobrush main. Until that last factoid.

I saw a picture of the "Hokusai" Weapon in a Japanese screenshot.I searched up "Hokusai" and I said: "Clever girl"

"Put Mario in a game and everybody will want to try it". Miyamoto sure knows Nintendo fans and their lack of criteria.

Splatoon, aka Squids, Young Girls, lots of sticky liquids and skimpy dresses. And guns. What's more to wish for?

So they just forgot Sunshine existed??!? well there is our answer to if we`ll be getting Sunshine HD or Sunshine 2.

DYKG trivia: Are you kid or a squid?

'Splatoon was going to be another Mario game.' Because we totally needed more of those. Glad Nintendo got their finger out of Mario's asshole for once and made something original.

If Mario Was In Splatoon We Would Probably Have A Lot Of DLC Like Smash Bros. Making People Buy Way To Many E Shop Cards And Using Credit Cards A Whole Bunch!!! - UMG

Super Mario Sunshine 2 dreams...crushed.

Dang it, i was hoping shovel knight would win the voting poll

2:00 Miyamoto knows!

Sakeguchi just wasn't sugoi enough.

Wait- the Inklings are 14? I'm now the same age as an Inkling. Huh. This is interesting.

Splatbuns would have been much, MUCH better.

American promotion: meh Canadian promotion: Wtf? English Promotion: Fucking awesome unless you're not a skateboarder.

When Splatoon had bunnys OH BBY

actually the squids were made by one of the developers children. they were like father why don't you use squids and let them transform. this was discussed in one of the Nintendo Direct's. you just need to follow the directs and you would have known.

Will you guys do Splatoon 2?

You don't need to sensor classic art on RU-vid

if they add flood to splatoon.... i will die happy XD

maan, i dont have a wiiU, dont want a wiiU, but i have a 3ds, and i wanna play Splatoon

I did know gaming today

Why have I seen that picture before?

What is with 14 being the designated age for most teenage protagonists

I'm so glad they didn't make it a Mario game, cos I won't lie, Mario bores me. Splatoon is one of the few Nintendo games that to me feels legitimately cool to play (for lack of a better word)

Why does everyone hate sunshine? It was my favourite mario game

5:26 GUNDAMUUUUUUU

THEY FORGOT SUNSHINE THAT"S SAD AND HILARIOUS I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FEEL

Man you're really killin' it with these uploads lately.

Hokusai: The worlds first hentai artist...

To me Splatoon looks like, in terms of its character designs, Kids Next Door mixed with Jet Set Radio.

who is she

"The painting shows a woman in an explicitly sexual situation with a pair of octopuses." You know, for kids!

"The inklings are approximately 14 years old" Well, looks like a LOT of DeviantART users are going to be in BIG trouble.

5:40 "The painting shows a woman laying down sexually with a pair of octopuses. Don't forget to subscribe to Did You Know Gaming." - Jimmy Whetzel 2015

I assume the homage to Hokusai was mostly due to the fact that he was one of the most important Japanese artists, being the guy that made the famous "The Great Wave of Kanagawa" painting and such. Not just because HERP DERP TENTACLE PORN.

Splatoooooooooon

"The Inklings are approximately 14 years old." That didn't stop us artists did it.

1:22 wow that guy got wrecked lol

We need a "Tomodachi Life - Did You Know Gaming? Featuring Vinny from Vinesauce"

This video was INKcerdible!

The real question is Are you a kid? or a Squid?

2:50 but the males have 11 appendages >:3

I don't know why? But the music in Splatoon reminds me of Jet grind radio.

Hokusai, hm? I think I need to make some research...

5:37 Well....I certainly never expected to see that in a video about a Nintendo game.

RIP sakaguchi. Wasn't a good enough dancer... Also the art at the end........😐

w..wait. they dont make any puns in the european edition? isnt that the entirety of the humor in europe?

I wanted a tofu block shooter...

Did you know? I really freakin' want a Wii U.

what's up with this big load of videos lately

Wait. So they took inspiration for a weapon from tentacle porn? Actually, I'm not surprised.

rip Sakaguchis' moves, they were not fresh enough.

the og tentacle hentai?

2:50 Male inklings have 11.

OMG that last fact threw me for a loop. Wasn't expectin somethin so....explicit for a Splatoon DYK video o.o

Its a good thing they avoided them being able to spray white ink. Right?

A woman getting it on with 2 Octopuss... That's a lot of Pu... LOL nevermind. I love the Japanese :D

There seems to be several newer Nintendo games which have variations between American and European localization text. American Nintendo games seem to have many puns revolving around contemporary internet meme humor, while the European Nintendo games has humor that is less referential and will probably end up being more timeless.

The Hokusai segment is kinda weird. First, because I hear Hakusai. Second, because you introduce Hokusai without mentioning The Wave.

Here comes 5 other parts to this series.

Really liked how Nintendo promoted this game, they went all out on this game, hope they do something similar in the future!

Apparently they have Inkling plush toys now. Someone walked into a Red Robin with an Inkling Girl plush toy

Is that the reason why hentai exists?

Splatoon's style makes it look like it's from the 90's

Which guitar cover of "Splattack" starts in the beginning?

You also forgot to mention that Splatoon was Nintendo's first new IP sense Pikmin. 14 Years ago. I really hope Nintendo starts making new IPs in the future along side Splatoon. I don't want to wait another decade for one.

Splatoon is my favorite Nintendo game this year!!!

Canada had Splatoon Yogurt?!

Really? You mention Hokusai and the best you come up with is a painting that reinforces a silly stereotype? He is famous for various other things, including the wave of Kanagawa.

Nice fact to end on.

"Tofu with nose." What, did Asgore name that???

1:53 Yeah that kind of is.

5:40 There had to be Atleast 1 reference to octopus hentai in this video.

kind of feel weird they felt the need to censor a piece of classical art. Hard to think society has actually gone backwards in that regard.

Did you know Undertale?

hey why don't you make a video "ARMS - did you know gaming?"

How old are they? 14 18? Good Enough.

This needs a part 2!!

To restate from another video. "Oh yeah, there was a water gun in Super Mario Sunshine", "Oh yeah, the GameCube was a console."

Wait...... THIS is Splatoon? I always assumed it's some sort of a platforming adventure game. Yes, my only knowledge of this game before this video comes from the Super Mario Maker costumes.

Uhh Hokusai is much, much more famous for his painting 'the wave' wich is basically universally known. I get that the temtation to make a joke about tantacle porn in a video about prebubescent anthropomorphic squid beings in a japanense video game is great, but you could at least have mentioned 'the wave' before jumping right to the tentacles.
