Callie is named Stella in Italian. Together they are Stella Marina which means starfish in Italian

I can't find anything.
More Splatoon music: https://youtu.be/3pRMi9b9Sdk
Probably because it's a Pokémon
Or they don't want you associating tentacles with them
One of those

Are the Splatoon games worth it for someone who only cares about single player?

The thing about Pearl's design is that compared to the other idols, she's a little too close to what's already available to the player characters. (Perhaps as a "canonical" Agent 3...)
I prefer Callie and Marie over the new designs, including the musical identity of the first game, from what we've heard so far. But Marina is incredibly distinctive relative to anybody else in the game, which was how Callie and Marie felt in the first game's release.
Visual design aside, there is a lot of latitude for the characters to amass a following based on how their personalities are defined in the writing and localization. I hope we're in for a dynamic that is a little more unique than a straight lift of Callie/Marie's contrasting personalities. If done well, Pearl could emerge as surprisingly appealing.
(If I want one Amiibo out of all this, however, it's unquestionably Splatoon 2 Marie.)

No. But try the demo on the 15th. I used to think I didn't like mp before Splatoon.
Oh, it will happen.
No it's not, you got your conversion wrong. It's 8am-12pm AEST, 7:30am-11:30am ACST or 6am-10am AWST
Pearl has a solid design — lots of personality, great color scheme, stands out — but she's not a waifu, you see. More like a bratty lil' cousin. You can't make-believe marry that! But Marina is like an Octoling Rihanna. Would date and take to a seafood restaura— actually, that might be a bad idea.

So it's Marie > Marina > Callie > Pearl.
Seriously, who thought a bratty rat child was a good idea?

Is it? I would assume octopuses would eat seafood exclusively, I'm sure she'd be thrilled. Just don't order any takoyaki.
Probably because she's terrified for her life, Pearl looks like she might scamper across the stage and chew her face off at any moment, like some sort of rabid squirrel

What a tune
At least he won't have to worry about her being unfaithful
EDIT: Also, I'd like to retract my previous dismissal of them both looking shite. Marina has JSR-esque perma-headphones, so her design is alright.
Like Marina's design a lot but I get the feeling that Pearl is going to end up the more interesting of the two when it comes to the dialogue. Can already see that already. The back and forth between Callie and Marie were what I enjoyed the most between them. Hope that holds up here with Marina and Pearl.

No contest. Marina is cooler than the Squid Sisters even.

Breh she's am octoling in a society currently at war with octolings it's not surprising they went with that personality type.
Pearl's design works very well combined with Marina, but on its own... ehhh
The story mode in Splatoon 1 was great and this one will probably be better, but MP is the real meat and potatoes of the package. I don't think you'd get much out of just that one & done experience.
Track is rad. Hyped for this game suddenly.

I dont like the designs compared to the original squidsisters.
I think they are overdesigned and yuck looking. Marina is better than Pearl, but they fucked it up with the green on the fingers and the giant belt.
Going to see how they called them in spanish, becuase they alredy named the squid sisters differently there (Mar and Tina).

I'm a huge Splatoon fan but is it just me or do the 'ALL NEW' Special Weapons pale in comparison to the ones Splatoon 1?
None look as cool as the Inkstrike or as fun as the Kraken....
I know they had to adjust for not having a touchscreen always available but no Kraken, Inkzooka or Killer Wail is a bummer for me looking at what they've shown thus far.

It's not about one or the other. Together is what makes them work.

Like the campaign itself? Probably not.
They pale in comparison because of the old specials were broken as fuck, which is why they got rid of them haha.

The campaign is pretty cool but not very long. At least for the first game. This one might be a bit longer but we don't know.

I'm thinking more Chuck D and Flavor Flav.
The final boss fight of 1 is already worth the 20 bucks.

It's intentional. The old specials were too strong and didn't seem balanced with competitive play in mind. That's why there's no old ones returning.
