the end. 

Fun fact I was one of the last 3 streamers ever, I played 5 hours and 30 min past shut down, surviving the purge of map rotation that dc'd almost everyone who was still online at that point. I unfortunately got dc'd by my Wii U crashing. The remaining 2 streamers were booted out on the next rotation as well as everyone else. We tried to keep the fire lit as long as possible but all good things must come to an end. It was an honor to have been apart of the final 3 to stream this banger of a game and participate in the last Splatoon squid party ever.

Rest in peace Splatoon 1, the foundation of what we have today as Splatoon 3 🫡

Splatoon 1 is why I was able to pick up my graduation robes last night, and what got me to realize I loved making digital drawings to share with the world. Squidspeed, Splatoon. Also the Halo 2-style necromancy was hilarious

Goodbye Splatoon 1 we will miss it

We grew up with this one 🗣🗣😔😔😔

It's the end of an era. 8 years, and on the 8th of April.

This is sad not because i played the game, but because one day, this will happen to Splatoon 3

Awe man, may splatoon 1 rest in peace. It was nice knowing you

the compilation of all the different splatubers early videos hit hard, youtube was the only social media i could use when i was young around the time splatoon 1 came out and so many memories have come from all those classic videos and youtubers, long live splatoon 1.

I never got to even play Splatoon 1, but this genuinely made me really sad.

Thank you for changing our lives Splatoon 1, Rest In Peace.

May Splatoon 1 🌹Rest in Peace🌹

RIP SPLATOON 1 This game literally changed me it made me think more with my mind and come up with creative music Rip original agent 3 i love youu Splatoon is the best

* obligatory “you can hack your wii u/change wifi settings on your wii u to use this thing called pretendo to play on fanmade servers, tho splatoon servers aren’t done yet so u have to wait a bit before playing that” comment *

We’ll miss you, Splatoon 1. Thank you Octa for having us along for the end. -Bubbles906 / samus (ingame)

I've never played splatoon 1 but I'm so sad that it's dead, I will miss it so much

Oh my god love wrote out in ink BROKE me, thank you so much for this video. I never got to play the first game, but the fact that it meant this much to this many people to where there could be this many people paying tribute is beautiful.

All hail Splatoon 1, glorious founder of this franchise we love, may it's heritage reach new heights. Also goodbye to Blue and Orange, both of them were cool, although we can see them in SMBU and MK8 i will somewhat miss them.

I know we have Splatoon 2 & 3 but Mann..... seeing this just brought tears I'd never thought I'd shed. Back in the first game, I never played competitively, Heck I don't play that competitively even now, I just had fun with all the new gear & weapons to try out. I wasn't here to witness the shutdown....but this game will always hold a spot in my heart. Thank you for all the good times & Memories Splatoon, R.I.P

We will miss u splatoon 1 😭👋

Ill miss this game🐛

GGS.

R.I.P. Splatoon 1!! You were and are still loved. 😢❤

Thank you splatoon 1 R.I.P

Splatoon literally grew me up, it was a big part of my life. It’s very sad to see splatoon 1 go, kind of surprising how it went by so fast. I’m really sad I couldn’t get to play splatoon 1 while it lasted because my Wii U didn’t have its online thing anymore. Goodbye, splatoon 1! :D

Rest in peace Splatoon 1 o7 (god, this video actually made me cry, wtf)

RIP splatoon

So many years have gone by. Oh man

You'll always be remembered S1. You have a place in my heart. Watching videos of people playing inspired me to get the second and 3rd install for both games. I basically see people wearing the inkling girl's clothing in my plaza. Time flies fast. I wish it was slow this time. (There is a edit that relates to this. The edit is by Splatarashi. It basically talks about the memories it had which where amazing and it's splatfest and all which was beautiful. House of memories.)

Goodbye splatoon... We aren't enemies, just squidkids with memories...

It really was quite a “finale of a splatastic saga.” The eclipse behind the logo was perfect, as the eclipse can also be seen as Splatoon being “eclipsed” in darkness, but like an eclipse, light returns as time goes on, as we have Splatoon 2 and 3 to still enjoy in the present (There’s also the people that love to shove the “aChkShuAlLy PrEtEndO” thing down throats, but shhhh let people process their grief first).

all good things must come to an end. the memories and the nostalgia… never to be forgotten. thank you Splatoon for this opportunity and for everything as a whole. stay strong people. 💜❤️

the music makes this even more sadder

I'll always be the level 50 rank A+ in that game, I miss it too much.

Very happy i got to spend the last few hours watching this stream. Thank you for starting an amazing series Splatoon 1

Splatoon 1 rest in peace old friend 🙏🥹🫡

I never get to play splatoon 1 because I don't have a wii u

Farewell to the game that started it all. o7

omg this edit feels so personal

Never got to play 1, but it always looked so fun I'm so happy it got to stay around so long

The first video game i've ever played, i recalled receiving the Wii U back then under the christmas tree as a gift for me and my twin when i was 7, it cames with splatoon and mario kart. I will never forget the good moments i've passed on this game playing with my brother and friends, that story mode that took my 7 years old self a tone of effort to beat and all those chineses/japaneses players ruining my ranked games.

This edit is so coool! o7 Splatoon 1

I’m unfortunately 7 years too late to play it but I used to eat splatoon 1 videos up for every meal of the day. Enough for me to have some attachment to the game.

My feels 🥹 Splatoon’s one of very few gaming franchises where I can say I’ve been there since day 1 (even before that because of the testfire). Was there for your last stream, bittersweet to see the end

999 likes. And farewell splatoon 1.

I've never played Splatoon 1 but I feel the pain. I'm sad I never got to play it because it seemed really fun and had a nice vibe. When I started Splatoon 2 I could tell the devs liked making the game look and feel a certain way to feel nostalgic forever. It makes me sad to think the same thing may happen to Splatoon 2..

despite all of the amazing games i've played, splatoon will always be the most meaningful and impactful. i've never been more grateful for a game series, and i never will be. rip splat 1

RIP Splatoon 1,the beginning of one of the greatest game franchises, the foundation of what we have now, and what will come to be.

We’ll miss you, Splatoon! It truly earned a place as one of the best games of all time, even if it’s just in our hearts. Thanks for all the memories, and may Splatoon stay fresh forever with Pretendo!

Still, in my opinion, Splatoon 1 was the best game and will always be better than Splatoon 3. Rest in peace.

I knew what it meant right away when I saw a post for it and the inkling girl clothes on someone. It was over. I remember those days. JayMoji, Failboat and more. They seem to be moving on. I hope they don't forget about Splatoon 1 :( we've already past one year of S3 being part of the franchise. To me it felt like a couple weeks. No more but literally 365 days passed.

I’m not ready for it to end 😭😭😭

rest in peace splatoon 1

Great game I loved it so much. The servers lifespan might be finite but the love for this game is infinite.

What a journey for a decade year old game

And to think this same thing will happen to splatoon 2 and 3

I am so sad i missed this because i wasn't to play splatoon 1 that day since my wii U is packed somewhere. im truly gonna miss this game. also i posted a video of 3ds's online shutdown on my channel so i got to witness something. goodbye splatoon 1. I will miss you

Goodbye splatoon 1, thank you for everything

Octa, you're french? Let's gooo! Rip Splatoon, I will forever remember the times people were wondering if this new IP will take off, and I'll be honest, I did not expect things to reach such a point, nor to be part of it, even. Then, Splatoon more or less changed my life for the better...

Goodbye Splatoon 1. Thank you for everything.

We will miss you Splat 1

Yo this… this hits hard

Now the pretendo Legends begins 😊

Farewell, splatoon. You were a big part of my childhood, and a part of many others' youth too.

Godspeed splatoon 1

Well, this is a end of a fun era

And the start of pretendo!

Splatoon 1 raised me when my parents didn't want to

Goodbye splatoon1 even tho I never played the first Game splatoon 1 It was always on my list to play once I got a Ds or 3ds but now all I can do Is cry that a legend Game Is gone before I got a chance to play but I will say that splatoon Is always In my heart have a good last Woommy everyone goodbye splatoon 1

splatoon1 was my top favorite game i wish that it could still go longer

Fortunately there is Pretendo to always continue playing multiplayer without the official servers 🙏

i first played this game when i was 8 wasn't that much of a fan until 2022.... heh thanks

rip

Don’t worry pretendos is on the rescue

Rip splatoon

you’ll be missed splatoon 1 :,) .

First, minecraft nostalgia Then Ash Ketchum leaving the anime after his final victory Now Splatoon's shutting down. Its been an honor, gaming fans

I played 3 hours after shutdown. It was a lot of fun.

Good by Splatoon 1 rest on peace 🫡

Thank you Splatoon 1, you will be missed ❤

The first game I ever played

N9OOOOOOO, im still a kid and ive been wanting to play splatoon 1 for the first time😢

It’s Not Over

Im gonna cry 😭

Thank you for staying as long as you did. You all gave it a wonderful sendoff.

time to cry :,D

первая часть сплатуна подарила мне детство, но в 2018 году моя вию сломалась, и у меня не было возможности купить новую, и только в этом году и в этом месяце я смогла поиграть в сплатун 3, сплатун очень сильно поменялся за 6 лет, и только сейчас я узнала что игра моего детства больше никогда не будет работать 😢

Byeee splatoon 1 ❤❤❤😢😢

pretendo brought it back up already lmao

Pretendo will save us

Zack Scott!

Wait, octolings in Splatoon 1?

i survived the purge but got tired:

By bye :(

I have seen a lot of people crying those past days cuz of network shutting down But y’all thought it was really the end ? There is actually people that created a copy of the Nintendo network so we can continue playing online Splatoon super Mario maker Mario kart 7/8 etc It’s called pretendo Network and it’s compatible with Wii U 3DS and Cemu (Wii U emulator)

Okay, but how are you an octoling in spat 1?

Im still at battle

Of course we have pretendo but what’s the point everything has to end…

No Splantoon

😢
