[WonderzL]

Nintendo's doing good work

Why is every female character a "waifu"?

Come on. Also lmao the racism in this

 

[13ruce]

How can Pearl even compete?

Spoiler alert: never lol.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

You have lived a charmed video-game life if that is true. I recommend searching NeoGAF for "worst character designs" and see whether you hold on to that opinion.

I have played thousands of games, and she is still one of the worst. Granted I don't find any of the characters in Splatoon to be great looking, but she is awful.

 

[Blunoise]

Ok Nintendo to update their switch icons with these new Nintendo characters from arms and splatoon2

 

[Giolon]

Oh I hate Pearl already. Her face makes me angry. I think it's that stupid crown.

Marina's totes adorbs though.

 

[BitStyle]

How can Pearl even compete?

Excellence

 

[iFirez]

A good Octarian is nice to see after their evil portrayal in the first game.

 

[aravuus]

I went from excitement to complete dissapointment after seeing the Demo schedule: 00:00 to 04:00 for us in Europe

Well, guess I'll have to wait till the 21st

Ya I was interested in giving it a try but I guess not. This is dumb.

 

[DarkConfidant]

Ice cream! Also, yay new squid sisters!
I'm #teamMarina all day

 

[Mesoian]

Marina da gawd.

 

[James Scott]

Hold up, there is a black lady in a Nintendo game? Maybe there's a chance for different skin tones in the next Animal Crossing.

They already did that for HHD (I think?)

 

[ArchedThunder]

Pearl's face is dumb.

Nintendo knew what they were doing when they designed Marina, it's like a gift to the fan artists, lmao.

Damn, those graphics.

 

[Quonny]

pearl is so bad she's making my love of cake matter not

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Will there be a lot of waifu talk in the OT, too? If so, already out of the OT.

 

[Astral Dog]

They come together how dumb 🍦🍰
Give me them at the same time

 

[Tom Nook]

Pearl is Yolandi

 

[Beartruck]

Between Marina and Twintelle, Nintendo is on fire with making superhot dark skinned women.

 

[nbnt]

Pearl would've had a chance if her forehead was a bit, you know, less gigantic.

 

[Village]

Will there be a lot of waifu talk in the OT, too? If so, already out of the OT.

This is what happens when Nintendo started allocating a good portion of their money into waifu and husbando RnD

Fire emblem was about anime knight murder , at one point

 

[Jonneh3003]

How can Pearl even compete?

Switch has the best tentacle physics.

 

[iFirez]

Ice cream! Also, yay new squid sisters!
I'm #teamMarina all day

Marina isn't a Inkling though, she's clearly an Octarian. So they're the SquidOcto Sisters?

 

[so1337]

I'm almost doing it right now

This thread's gonna make a comeback. don't you worry none

There's going to be one in the next ten minutes and you know it

I don't know why that title structure bothers me so much but it does

 

[Mr. Smiley]

[Grylvak]

Follow your

Spoiler

heart.

I will do what is best for Team Marina.

#TeamIceCream

 

[Omega Kirby]

Ice cream > Cake

Marina >>>>> Pearl

 

[Not]

How can Pearl even compete?

Are all Octolings this much better than Inklings?

 

[Cerbero]

I went from excitement to complete dissapointment after seeing the Demo schedule: 00:00 to 04:00 for us in Europe

Well, guess I'll have to wait till the 21st

What? It said 18-22 CEST in the italian direct

 

[rawktapus]

I like both their designs *Shrug*

Spoiler

Marina fans are already the worst, though

 

[MomoQca]

Between Marina and Twintelle, Nintendo is on fire with making superhot dark skinned women.

You forgot one more character...

 

[foxuzamaki]

Please just don't make a thread called "[this and that] is developing quite a fan art following already." For the love of god.

Splatoon is literally the start of the meme

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Are all Octolings this much better than Inklings?

No, this is the only good one.

 

[Astral Dog]

I was thinking Pearl had an unique, quircky design too but then i saw this 😷😷😷😝 disgusting

 

[The Elite]

Callie & Marie always felt like they were in their late 30s desperately trying to cling on to their youth. No wonder they brought in new blood.

 

[phanphare]

How can Pearl even compete?

there is no way to say this and not have it sound suggestive

but those tentacles look really good

 

[javac]

You forgot one more character...

Always really liked her design, never did get around to playing that game.

 

[13ruce]

You forgot one more character...

No Urbosa?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Dat belly piercing.

 

[Astral Dog]

Are all Octolings this much better than Inklings?

I thought the Octpuses were bad

 

[LotusHD]

Pearl is the Iggy Azalea of Splatoon

LOL

Hold up, there is a black lady in a Nintendo game? Maybe there's a chance for different skin tones in the next Animal Crossing.

They better not BS people with that, even Pokemon lets you be black now.

Urbosa/several Gerudo + Twintelle but yeah nice to see more.

Odyssey also has a black woman NPC lol, Nintendo's learning D:

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Any fan art of Marina yet? I might want to change my avatar.

 

[Lambtron]

You could select skin tone in Happy Home Designer. I'd be legitimately shocked if you couldn't in the next AC game.

 

[so1337]

Splatoon is literally the start of the meme

Then Splatoon should be the end of it too.

 

[Pancakes R Us]

They already did that for HHD (I think?)

Yes, apparantly so. A side game. But not for a mainline entry in 2012. This is a good sign for the next one though.

Goddamn
Marina wins hands down, truth be told this is really unfair. Pearl never stood a chance, marina is a punk girl who seems tailor made to be cosplayed by Kay bear

 

[Kawika]

Cake + ice cream is even better

Pie + Ice cream > all

 

[13ruce]

Any fan art of Marina yet? I might want to change my avatar.

Fast ones now but give it a day and high quality ones should be out.

 

[Servbot24]

Nintendo's doing good work

This dude just ask why dark skinned people exist and why anyone would like them? And act like 2 dark skinned characters out of 100 light ones is an "obsession"?

 

[Geg]

Surprised it wasn't added in the big amiibo update last year
