Splatoon - Splatfest Splashback 

Splatoon: Which idol do you prefer ? Splatoon 2: CHAOS VS ORDER, DECIDE THE FATE OF THE WORLD !

Today is the last day before Wii U servers shut down and we say goodbye to Splatoon for the last time. I watched the news broadcast one last time, I played one last time online, then fought Octavio, and teared up watching the credits. It was like spending time with a friend before saying goodbye for the last time. I wanted to watch this to look back on all the fun. This game was a core part of my childhood, playing it after school each day, and getting so excited for each splatfest. Now that I’m an adult I miss it so much. Thank you to the developers and to all of the community for countless hours of fun and memory making.

Gosh, this hits even harder now that Splatoon 3 has been announced. Boy- time sure flys by

The people who got their art featured must feel like the kings of the world

Splatoon 1: who's best girl? Splatoon 2: *your in endgame now*

This reminded me of the slideshow you get at the end of the school year. Both punch you right in the feels.

Seven years later, the tears come rushing back again

Coming back to this knowing the Wii U online servers are going down. 😭 Rest in peace Splatoon 1.

It was a fun adventure, Im going to say this one last time, for the good times! *a communication error has occurred*

why am i crying

I can't believe how long it's been since the first game came out. I've been a fan since 2015 and no words can possibly describe how much Splatoon means to me and how happy it makes me. I don't think I'm ever gonna let go of this franchise.

Splatoon 1 servers are now shutting down, we'll miss you.

I got something in my eye... OH WHO AM I KIDDING I'M CRYING

That moment when you realize you lost almost every single one.

Watching this as the servers go down makes me tear up. The memories come flooding back of this beautiful game. Memories of joy and distress, of frustration and gratitude, of admiration and sorrow. An amazing game that evokes so much from me and others around me. Truly, one that I will remember fondly for the rest of my life.

As of 4/8/24 5pm PDT, the online servers for Wii U and 3DS have shut down. Saying this game defined the Wii U would be an understatement. There's no denying how phenomenal Splatoon was, it remained active from day one, all the way to the final moments. I hope that everyone never forgets Splatoon and how amazing it was! Farewell to an era!!

Ah, brings back memories, Of me losing 11 Splatfests in a row.

Little did we know that we would decide Callie's fate. EDIT: So with the release of Splatoon 2, it turns out we kinda didnt...? I still go by the theory that whoever lost the last Splatfest would go missing in Splatoon 2, but that could just be me.

You gonna miss us, that was more than a simple game for childs, it’s a childhood. Thank you for all, Rest in peace and Stay fresh. F for Splatoon

Who would have thought that this moment would come, saying goodbye to online Splatoon...of course it would come at some point, but I didn't think it would be so soon...9 years later. This splashback is my favorite, what always touches me is the phrase at the end, "thank you". Instead of "thank you for playing" like in S2. I feel "included" because I didn't played it during 2015-2016 (and I even feel a little regret about that)...I didn't saw much about Splatoon at that time, and I only became interested in the game a little later. This was one of the IPs that most changed my life, and not just mine, but that of many other people around here. Years ago, they were the ones who gave us a "thank you", and now, it's our time to say it. Thank you, Splatoon! For such great memories, great characters, music and awesome lore! Splatoon is definitely more than an online game, and it will live on!

The music in the background dude

Anyone here after the final splatfest announcement for Splatoon 2?

Goodbye Splatoon 1, we will all miss you so much, you have changed mine and so many other people's life's in amazing ways and birthed the started of an amazing Nintendo franchise

7years later, Splatoon, you will be missed for all eternity 😭

Splatoon: Goodbye Splatfests... Splatoon 2: *Billy Mays voice* But wait, there's more!

It's been exactly two years since the final Splatfest of the original Splatoon, and I'm feeling incredibly nostalgic for it. I miss the Squid Sisters and the excitement I felt for all of these cool Splatfest themes. Thanks for the memories, Nintendo! May we always have the next Splatfest to look forward to.

One day, there will be a Splatoon 3 splashback. Let that sink in.

Fly high splatoon 1, you'll be missed 💔

Me: Hey look at this let's watch it Nintendo: Hey did you know we now produce and cut onions?

Soon, Splatoon 2 will join the ranks of the Splashbacks.

this hits WAYYY harder now that the servers just got shut down :(

goodbye splatoon 1 o7

The good old days...ah, the memories of being a kid in 2015 are flooding back.

So thats why Callie went sicko mode

Watching this right before the server shutdown hits different.. Thank you for everything, splatoon 1

We all know why we're here. This game have been and is still a big part of my life. 2016 was a hard year for me,, but Splatoon got my back and made it a wholesome year. I'll never forgot all the peole i've met here, the miiverse squid parties we made and all the beautiful characters (callie i love u eternally) and ost this game have. It have a special place in my heart, the biggest place. My younger self would be proud to see how i still love the serie and care about Wii U.. Let it never die please, never.

Honestly miss this games to bits it was one of my favorite experiences the people I met helped shape me to be better and practice at this game it's been 5 years since it came out nearly 6 and Im thankful it still has a community after this long

Imagine you could go out of bounds and explore around the outside of Inkopolis Square and then you walk towards Inkopolis Plaza and you find Inkopolis Plaza so old, almost broken down yet you find the tower still up. Dat would be cool, but at the same time sad :c

Coming back to this after the shutdown is such an experience, I never owned a Wii U, but splatoon has been a big part of my life since it was first announced, despite never properly playing it, I'll still miss splatoon 1

April 8th, and the severs are now going down... This just hits different, it's almost as if it was made as a goodbye. Thanks for everything, the memories, the fun... Splatoon will forever live in our hearts as lively as the first day Thank You! Stay Fresh

3:20 finally Nintendo actually approves squid party

Take a look at that marshmallow

I’m crying rn this brings back so many good Splatoon memories.

Sad to see the servers are shutting down... but I can't help but be eternally grateful for the great memories this game has brought myself and others! So long Splatoon...

This makes me sad :(

I'm not crying. Some blue inkling shot me under my eyes.

R.I.P Splatoon 1 2015-2024 The game that started all. 😢

The memories... Can’t wait to see the new ones we’ll all make together in Splatoon 3. Thank you everyone for existing and making this community so great, Splatoon will probably hold a special place in my heart for years to come.

Farewell Splatfests. They were fun while they lasted...

soon we gonna see a Splatoon 2 Splatfest Splashback with the song Into the Light...;-;

Thank you Splatoon 1 2015-2024 Stay Fresh

Its been a long ride for splatoon. Splatoon 1: The start! Splatoon 2: New things,New life! Splatoon 3: The Splatlands! I'm kinda crying now,but its been fun playing splatoon for the past few years!

Who came back after the Splatoon 2 splashback video?

everyone: who's here after chaos and order me: i was always there... since the beginning...

The end. or more appropriately... Fin. Splatoon... thanks for everything. 😌

Probably the most meaningfull day to watch this... you will be missed Splatoon 1

Thanks nintendo for teaching me to not be salty in an online shooter. Also holy crap my art made it into this video!

Tbh who else stayed up late waiting for the splatfest a to start, so you could be one of the first to experience it.

This makes me tear up out of nostalgia and whatnot, and I never even played Splatoon 1 or even knew Splatoon existed until Splatoon 2 was revealed and Inklings were added into Mario Kart, and I didn't even start looking into Splatoon until like spring of 2018. Why this has this effect on me I have no idea, but it does.

I never started on this one but in glad i was able to see this series grow and see how much it’s changed

Splatoon 1: * done * Splatoon 2: *"WHERE IN THE ENDGAME NOW"*

I remember this It was a rainy day. I was home alone. I remember just sitting there on the couch, balling my eyes out. Though I didn’t participate in many splatfests, the bittersweet ending to them is something to remember...

Don’t cry because it’s over; smile because it happened.

That spongebob one... Aww man i wish i was there for that one

Oh how I miss splatoon one...

came back to this... servers shut down in 40 minutes

rip to splat 1, i've been playing since the very first time it was available to the public, so seeing it finally go is truly heart-breaking. thankfully pretendo exists!

Oh man how this makes me cry and feel nostalgic. I first Got Splatoon for the Wii U on July 3rd 2015, 2 days before my birthday. Never had I noticed that the first Splatfest EVER that changed history for shooters forever began on my Birthday, July 5th. Oh how I feel special. This was what everyone needs to feel. Happy and Cry from how special splatoon was to all of us.

At first, I didn't want to buy Splatoon. now I regret that so much. Getting Splatoon 2 for the Switch

8 days remain… soon the memories will be all gone. This game will be nothing more than a fleeting memory outside of fan-made servers…

Rip splatoon 1 🥲🥲 thank you for the memories ❤️

Unicorns VS Narwals, Ketchup Vs Mayo, Vampires VS werewolves, but, the most IMPORTANT one is TOLIET PAPER ROLL BACKWARDS VS FORWARDS!!!!!!!

All i can say is enjoy these games while you can. You Don't stay a kid forever.

Today. Wii U and 3DS Online Servers have finally shut down. On April 9th in Australia. 2024. Rest in Peace Online for the Wii U and 3DS it bought us some excellent memories... Pretendo here we come!

Looking back now I’m really gonna miss playing Splatoon 1 so long you wonderful game❤️

the sad thing is that i only participated in 1 or 2 splatfests

I missed every splatfest... i wish they would do splatfest ‘’replicas’’ for the players who couldnt participate

It’s really by now. Gah this hurts. Cheers Splatoon, for the memories.

The nostalgia hits so much harder now 😭

I just cried. It wasn't specifically about the splatfests, but this game will forever have an imprint on my life. This game was my existence, somedays it's why I'm happy, somedays it's why I'm angry, one time I actually broke my gamepad in half (I swear team science was hacking!!!!!), but he community aspects, the amiibo hunts, the singleplayer, the updates, the slosher (has to be a point in it of itself), and of course the splatfests I stayed up WAY too late for every night to get to max rank for all of them, were so perfectly brought together in this experience. It was a concept so new, and fresh (pun intended) that I feel like I will never have the experience again. It was a once in a lifetime investment, ARMS couldn't capture me the way splatoon did, and especially with splatoon 2 lacking ACTUAL miiverse, just fake miiverse, it's really not the same. Even if it was, it was all experienced before, and wouldn't have the same impact. Then the youtubers playing alongside, it really gave it a community feel (at the end of zackscottgames splatoon episode 86, I was there, and he said my name and mentioned my slosher when he super jumped to me!!!). Just the mass realization that all of the incredible things this game did to me was special and will only happen once. It all just came together for the perfect storm nothing else will ever be able to top. But according to the play time I didn't play the original splatoon NEAR as much in the 2 years I played it as I have playing breath of the wild within MONTHS!!! WTF!!!! (300 hours in breath of the wild. Am I crazy? Yes.) Edit: I'm playing Splatoon 1 much more often now, people still play! Especially now that Nintendo switch online released, a lot of people moved to splat 1. It's a huge nostalgia blow Everytime I load it up, good memories flow back, but I realize the more time goes by that someday they're going to shut down the servers for Splatoon 1. The thought hurts me, that I won't be able to relive the great times anymore, the lackluster graphics and basic layouts, the old weapon comps and specials, all sanctioned off to the test chamber

Callie: 9 wins Marie: 7 wins

It really is the end of an era now, thanks Splat 1

Thanks Splatoon! Who’s here now that the servers are shut down… Thanks for the memories

Oh Nintendo, time to make the next splash back~

As of the time of this comment, Splatoon 2 has released on the Switch. Discovering this video again and with the Octo Expansion coming soon this summer and Inklings finally coming to Smash in 2018... just wow. Nintendo’s really struck something magical with this franchise. I’d put it right up there with Mario and Zelda. The way they’ve shaped the character of this world they’ve created, it’s wonderful. I wish Nintendo the best of luck with the switch and all of it’s games in the coming years.

Watched this on the day spaltoon servers are fully shutdown.. I'm not crying you are 😢

So sad that the servers are shutting down in a couple of weeks. This game will always hold a special place in my heart (even though I got it December 2023 lol).

Who's still watching this after splatoon 2 came out? I am. I cried.

I haven’t even played Splatoon 1, but I think I’m gonna cry

Damn time fly's by fast. I still can't believe how long it's been since the first game came out. This series means so much to me, and Makes me so happy.

Here before the server shut down, I didnt really play because little ol me was too dumb to figure out how the internet worked, but my cousin did, so I would always play with her at her house. This game has charm that I don't think the other two don't. Rip Splatoon 1, thanks for the fond memories! ❤

...memories

Is it just me or did the Splatoon 1 splatfests feel more special than the Splatoon 2 ones

goodbye splatoon 1, still the best in the series

who’s back here with only hours of splat1 left to go? 🥺

Memories 😢

R.l.P. splatfest in splatoon we will never forget the original splatfest

We’re coming up on around 3 weeks until Splatoon 3 is released. It’s been a fun ride. I remember playing this game back in 2016 with my brother, we were both really young. I remember hearing this song for the first time after i beat the game single player. I can’t help but tear up, my brother is going into grade 12 and me grade 10. I wish i could go back to playing these games with him. I miss those good old days, i miss them…

This hits even harder now that the servers have shut down

Oh, well, Of course naughty won. Freakin, edgy teenagers.
