Nintendo would lose money on a Pearl Amiibo.

Force them into a double-pack.

Also, what's stopping us from doing the Japanese & the American Splatfests? Aren't they at different times?

 

[victreeb3l]

The two Off the Hook songs are alright. Theyre good but not Squid Sisters level great.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Bye Marie

Hello Marina

 

[Antiwhippy]

Nintendo's Japanese twitter just posted another Off The Hook song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6kmP9zNflE

This is pretty damn good.

Language barrier? According to eshop listing Japanese ver is not multi language.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Hmm yeah, seems like Pearl looks good in art but not in 3D

 

[Ivan 3414]

Peep that Marina doesn't have the eyemask Inklings usually have

 

[Briarios]

... no one should ever be team Pearl.

 

[OricWindstar]

Pearl reminds me of that chick from Die Antwood.

Haha, I was about post literally this. Definitely has a Yolandi vibe. I think she'll grow on people, but I'm still Team Marina.

Only NA countries have forced doyble/triple packs though.

Pearl might sell well in Japan though.

 

[IronicSonic]

Poor Pearl. Marina's design is so superior is not even funny.

It begins

 

[phanphare]

having a Splatfest pre release instead of another round of testfires was genius

genius I say!

Peep that Marina doesn't have the eyemask Inklings usually have

she's an octo

 

[gcncontroller]

Wha man I thought this game came out on the 11th... cool that they're doing a trial splatfest though, it'll be my first

Also echoing #TeamMarina

 

[Zalman]

Peep that Marina doesn't have the eyemask Inklings usually have

She's an Octoling.

 

[LordKano]

I just noticed, she has heart eyes.

We're going places.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

That's perfect for me. Will be busy all day, but can get myself a drink and settle in for a late night.
EDIT: Dammit, Linkstrikesback, you can't timezone worth a damn. It's 1700-2100 in the UK. Will be lucky if I get an hour in.


#TeamCakeNotTeamPearl

Hey, I can time zone, it's just at a different time for UK/EU switches, and I'm not psychic.

 

[ZeroX03]

Look, ice cream and cake together is ideal, but ice cream is far better solo.

 

[Ouroboros]

Marina takes my heart.

 

[L95]

I like them both, though I like Marina more.

 

[Synth]

Pearl reminds me of that chick from Die Antwood.

Pearl kinda reminds me of Ludwig Von Koopa.

"Splatoon seems to be developing quite the fan art following already...."

Thanks Marina.

 

[LFMartins86]

So the US world premiere is second? Or possibly even third of Japan's is earlier

Japan first, EU second, US last.

 

[ahoyhoy]

Pearl looking straight up Ratata in this pic.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Also Marina has bellybutton piercing?

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Marina is better than both of them anyhow.

And the Japanese splatfest theme is so much better it's not even funny.

Pop v Rock has been done before.

 

[BiggNife]

I'm glad everyone on Twitter agrees that Marina is great and Pearl belongs in a trash can

 

[molnizzle]

Pearl looks like a an injured chipmunk, Marina looks like a top tier waifu.

y u do this ninty

 

[LinkSlayer64]

Splatoon 2 was on sale for like 46 bucks on amazon, right? Does the prime discount then apply to that to get 20% off of 46 to get the game for around 37?
Edit, NVM it doesn't stack.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Marina is even hotter than Twintelle.
Come at me, bros.

 

[RecRoulette]

I'm glad everyone on Twitter agrees that Marina is great and Pearl belongs in a trash can

Pearl has a crown. Im on team Pearl (out of pity)

 

[Hippopuncher12]

That Pearl thing is one of the most atrocious looking character designs I have ever seen.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Poor Pearl, Marina already won the popularity test.

Pearl design is just bad. Also Marina being Octoling is awesome.

 

[Totakeke]

Is there another link to the other song other than the one posted? The one posted is really good. They're definitely aging up the music a bit compared to the first game.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Honestly I think they both look really cool, but I am much more happy to see Marina's design due to Nintendo's somewhat light portfolio of characters of colour. I really hope we see even more going forward.

 

[plagiarize]

Very glad Marina is Ice Cream. Will be upset whenever she isn't the obviously superior choice during Splatfest.

 

[NoKisum]

Pearl reminds me of that girl from Die Antwoord.

 

[Jim_Cacher]

I do think Pearl looks ok...

 

[tkscz]

JAPAN'S THEME IS SO MUCH BETTER.

MARINA'S POP WOULD SLAY 😥😥😥

We usually get them second, but Rock is definitely the better of the two.

As for this round, I like Marina better, but Cake is better than Ice Cream.

 

[Synth]

Marina is even hotter than Twintelle.
Come at me, bros.

Let's not get stupid here.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Pearl looking straight up Ratata in this pic.

Marina looks way too innocent.

 

[KingSnake]

Pop v Rock has been done before.

So what? It's still so much better than Ice Cream vs. Cake.

 

[Little Mons†er]

The way Marina already ended Pearl!

Slay

 

[Neoxon]

Sweet Christmas, MARINA'S AN OCTOLING!?!?!? I didn't even notice the suction cups on her hair!

 

[Tempy]

Why are they called Off The Hook in the USA while they're Tentacool elsewhere?

 

[Martylepiaf]

Marina's eyes fell weird to me I don't know why

 

[RecRoulette]

Sweet Christmas, MARINA'S AN OCTOLING!?!?!? I didn't even notice the suction cups on her hair!

You're not the only one but I'm blown away that people missed that.

 

[AquaWateria]

Sweet Christmas, MARINA'S AN OCTOLING!?!?!? I didn't even notice the suction cups on her hair!

Watch her be a enemy.

I had a feeling people would turn her pupils into heart pupils.
