Wii U - Splatoon Single Player Trailer 

When 3 was just an agent. Now they're the leader of the Squidbeak Splatoon 🥺

I am watching this after splatoon 3 has been announced, this gives such a nostalgia, look how it was... Now look at how it has become...

0:26 most depressing face I’ve ever seen

I can't believe it's been 7 years since this was released and 6 years of the game. It's been so long and this game brought many of us great memories

The return of the mammalians have a similar trailer, a faster pace and more obscure one. Still cool comparing these two though

Why is this in my recommended 6 years later, when splatoon 3 was announced?

I really wanted the 8-Bit part to be in Splatoon that would have been so fun 1:04

Rest easy splatoon 1,you will be missed 💔

The old snipers look more like executioners.

We need a co-op version of single player.

0:27 Me and the bois raiding Area 51

Cuttlefish turning his head on sync with the music is so satisfying at 0:51

1:06 I want that as a music visualiser.

god, so many memories. the single player for this game was absolutely marvelous, and I believe the single player is what really makes splatoon splatoon. aesthetic backgrounds, really good music, and all in all, a story that doesn't go very deep but still is enjoyable. the sunken scrolls really add to the lore too. i hope, if we ever get a splatoon 3, it adds more story, though.

0:36 i don’t need sleep I need a n s w e r s

That moment you realize just now, 5 years later after splatoon came out, that the octarians have small baby legs and are just on robots, that you thought was apart of there body

this is probably my favorite splatoon commercial.. it makes the game look fun, the timing with the music is great.. it almost seems like a movie trailer.

Didn't think this game would get it's own single player campain, but it did. And it looks awesome. This might be the first shooting game that I'll actually enjoy. Especially the colorful and vivid artstyle of it.

0:58 BRO HE'S CHOKING SOMEONE HELP HIM!!

Trailer: *exists* Me: I really want that Also trailer: *Only On Wii U* Me, not owning a Wii U: _DANG IT_

Splatoon for Smash DLC.

A shooter game with colors other than dirty brown and gunmetal grey? Instant thumbs up!

0:47 why this remind me of sanitized agent 3?

splatoon 1 single player Difficult Splatoon 2 single player Easy Octo expansion Intimidating Inner agent 3 You entered the arena-Test failed.

"Too much ink" -IGN

What's that? A shooter game with creativity? You see those less than a lunar eclipse.

9 years ago when this trailer was released, I remember hearing miyamoto talk about his new game in the works where you're a "squid kid superhero" and thinking to myself "that's the dumbest thing ever" now nearly 10 years later I've played all 3 games on their release date and have expierenced such beautiful story telling and lore of such a wonderful cephalopod filled game. splatoon changed me as a person and I'm ever so grateful to of had the privilege to play. thankyou nintendo

1:28 Damn it sounded cool after that

Out of everything in this Direct, I was actually most impressed by this Splatoon trailer. The platforming segments look TIGHT. It definitely looks like it's shaping up to be one of Nintendo's best original titles in a long time.

I think the cut octarians (00:35) are just an early version of the Octosnipers. Their mouths are like squirt guns, probably used to project thin shots of ink. They sit in a pool, so they can't move. They remain stationary why they presumably shoot projectiles at you from a distance. They were obviously intended to be a challenge to approach and take out. The reason there are three of them is to cover all angles and make it all the more difficult to get near. This (possible) early version of the Octosniper was not designed to move or rotate. Today's version is designed to rotate on its own, hence why you only face 1 at a time as opposed to 3. But that's just a theory. A GAME THEORY.

Just here comparing this to the splatoon 3 one. Man we have come such a long way. Can't wait!

Who is back after the splatoon 3 part of the direct?

Nintendo. Giving you games you never knew you needed to play.

i bought a wiiU only for splatoon.... totaly worth it :3

watching this while splatoon 3 is out and the way the ink looked back then look soulless

The return of the mamilians trailer mimics this formula

Who comes back to this trailer just to listen to the music?

I wish they showed off more of the octolings, they're so cool!

1:07 I REALLY need that as a music visualiser, Omg, it's. . . BEATIFUL.

0:36 sad that we never got to see these in the finale ver ): (or did I miss it?)

I don't know why, but I really, REALLY like this trailer. The music, how the footage matches up to it, random intervals of non-gameplay, and the end where the splatoon logo octo-fies.

I can already see the sequels... SplaTWOn : Octarian Uprising Splatoon 3: Jellypocalypse Splatoon 4: Escape the sharks! Splatoon Worlds Splatoon 5: Forged in ink Splatoon 6: Final shot 6 years later Splatoon re imagining

Just realized that the Splatoon 3 Hero Mode trailer is supposed to homage this.

0:36 the good old scrapped CBT-Enemies

All the troubles in my life have just gone away. I NEED THIS GAME.

Who's here watching after Splatoon 2's single player trailer?

This is when you realize that we are close to splatoon 3 and its almost 7 years old, i feel old, splatoon is my favorite game from 2015 and i loved it and splatoon is my favorite game so far, can’t wait to play Splatoon 3, you will probably see this when splatoon 3 is already in your nintendo switch, best thing from splatoon 2 so far is octo expansion, best way to spent 20 dollars, i even bought 3 month premium just for the final event of splatoon 2, it was sooo fun, the gamemodes are fun as well and they are short so you can play a lot of times at the day and not getting bored at all, i mean that splatoon is the best game of nintendo in my point of view and i hope nintendo keeps making another splatoons or DLC’s, good game (not pay to win) thx nintendo for another good game for our heart :).

8 years have passed since this masterpiece announced, oohh god i have so many memories of this times, but this game was perfect, i don't know how to explain the feeling, but it feels so much nostalgic, i was kid when i was playing this, now look how splatoon have become, love this game❤️

You have NO idea how badly I want a 30 minute loop of the song in this trailer.

I just noticed something extremely interesting: At the start of the trailer it showcases some more of the 4v4 mode. If you watch you can see that the teams spawn which different weapons including a sniper! This suggests you may now be able to select your weapon at the start of the match, which was not possible in the e3 build of the game. This is really cool because when I tried it that is the one place I thought it lacked in because there was only one weapon available. (Aside from the special weapons but they were merely a power up and only lasted ten seconds).

Is anyone here to remeber the sweet memories they had? TwT

The fact that this game's old concept was a bunch of rabbits shooting each other with ink. Glad for the Splatoon we have now.

"Nintendo can not innovate more." Haha they was wrong, maybe this game is the most epic shooter I've ever seen in my life! something different from the typical weapons to kill and kill to advance.

And now we got Splatoon 2. I had good memories with Splatoon but now we're going into Splatoon 2!!!

I’m crying how was this 8 years ago?!?

The return of the mammalians trailer has an awesome remix of cephaloparade and tentacular circus, and this one has the original versions

They should probably make a comic book of this game.

0:36, what even are those, they weren't in the game edit : GAHHH, HOW ARE PEOPLE STILL REPLYING

From octopus dude shooting ink at u to a fighting a furry in space

i love this trailer, especially how everything is on beat

1:32 Octotoon!!

You know why you're here

And that was 6years ago boys.

These are the commercials the should have used instead of YOUR KID NOW YOUR SQUID NOW or the other song related commercials

Why am I watching this AFTER the Octo Expansion came out like a week ago for Splatoon 2 on the Switch???

Splatoon 3 BABY

It's been 7 years already...damn... Now there's a Splatoon 3

Splatoon HYPE. Definitely going to be the most innovative shooter in the generation so far.

Trailer: 5 lives Game: 3 lives HAXX!

The way this trailer has everything on beat is so cool I always come back to it

I wanna go back...

I love absolutely everything about this game so far! The music, the aesthetic, the graphics, the gameplay, the fact that it is a multiplayer shooter but made by Nintendo. And I get a small Super Mario Sunshine vibe off it because of the ink. I keep waiting for Mario to swoop in and clean it all up with FLUDD.

1:03 WHERE'S THIS 8-Bit PART OF THE GAME?

coming back to this after the reveal of splatoon 3, god how the years fly by

My god, I cant believe its almost 7 years since Splatoon 1 came out.

I think I'm the only person in the world who is currently more excited for this awesome game (which I have already tried out at an event and it is awesomely fun), more than any other Nintendo game next year, yes even more than Zelda Wii U! Sue me. Although having said that, VERY little was shown of Zelda Wii U so thats mainly why. Still this single player mode looks really awesome and also quite innovative. And people say Nintendo can't innovate anymore...

Did a great job in making me want this game even more. I love the style to this game.

This trailer... STILL GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS FROM HOW GOOD IT IS

0:36 I don't remember seeing that enemy in the solo campaign. Mabye they removed it...

Introducing the Squid Gel; from Aperture Science!

always thought this was one of the best gameplay trailers in a long time. this song is SO good but the way they timed it to the chaos of the gameplay itself through its cuts and transitions is awesome. it's stuck with me even over 6 years later.

why's nobody talking about how the new splatoon 3 trailer is essentially a shot by shot remake of this? I wonder if it means anything....:

fav spoon trailer

There’s something so uncanny about splatoon

1:27 I'm seriously interested to find out what's going on in that comic

Who would’ve thought that they’d become furries

Its been 8 years since splatoons first release and the most recent is just as popular I haven't played the newest game but looking back at this gives me fond memories of the past a much simpler time

i love it when trailers sync the music with the sound effects

I love how the music syncs perfectly to the gameplay on screen.

I have and am playing Splatoon 3 and this is just hitting me with nostalgia. I remember when Splatoon was first announced and I was super excited to play it. The day came and I liked it. This just brings back good memories.

The audio quality was and still is my favorite part from the beginning

0:36 I don't remember those enemies being in the game

honestly the best trailer nintendo has ever made

tentacular circus is the one of the best splatoon songs

And now Splatoon 3. How proud to see how far this great franchise has come.

Love what this game is showing to pieces. The soundtrack is very unique, and I see some very cool platforming, customization on weapons and looks, and vibrant fun where you can actually identify people from there backgrounds.

What's been shown of the game so far reminds me a lot of Jet Set Radio. Music, visuals, gameplay, story, pretty much everything that made JSR great...maybe Splatoon will be the game to continue its legacy as a spiritual successor of sorts. :)

Little did they know they were starting a huge saga

Prepare for everyone coming back here after the sploon 3 single player trailer I got MAD nostalgia watching that

This looks awesome. And wow, that soundtrack is great, too, haha
