New Splatoon 3 Update Shoots Onto Switch Soon, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Splatoon 3 was such a disappointment. Really reget buying it.

I still don't understand why it needed to be a new game, while this could have been an expansion on Splatoon 2.
Instead of abandoning an excellent game that was Splatoon 2 and replace it with a new game that barely brought anything new and interesting. Just more of the same.

@Jeronan No one was playing splatoon 2. I think splatoon 3 is WAY better. So many improvements. One being that I can actually play in handheld at better angles

I love Splatoon. First was my most-played game on the Wii U, second is still my most-played game on the Switch, and third is halfway to the number of hours I spent on the second. But I've maybe played it once since 12th May. Stupid Zelda with your stupid "look at me, I'm the best game ever" nonsense.

I love splatoon 3 so much! It’s a really fun and unique shooter, does it have problems? Sure, a lot of the, map design and maybe some adjustments to salmon run, other than that I think it’s a compleat improvement over the 2nd one.

I also used to be in the camp of “It’s just a big update”, after playing it, it felt so much different to me, the gameplay felt smoother, the models were more polished, we got new abilities, it just feels like a sequel to two, unlike some games Cough Cough overwatch Cough

@Jeronan Agree With A "Splatoon 2 Expansion" Hot Take Challenge (Impossible)

@Jeronan I just don’t understand why they can’t at the very least port over all of the splatoon 2 salmon run maps. Instead I have to jump between games. That’s silly.

@sixrings But they are. We've got Spawning Grounds and Marooner's Bay. Just give them time and I bet each season will receive one of the remaining SR maps in Splatoon 2.

@Jeronan Not even that much of a Splatoon fan, but even I knew Splatoon 3 was a drastic improvement over the 2nd game. Splatoon 3 “being dlc” is like the same complaints about how “Tears” should be dlc of BoTW lol.

@Jeronan I wouldn't say it's "such a dissapointment" but I can agree that it is overrated compared to Splatoon 2. I think they should've just kept supporting Splatoon 2 for longer and waited on 3. But I still like 3 it just felt like it did not need to happen yet.

I’m wondering if all the underlying game engine changes going from 2 > 3 is what was really holding 2 back from having everything in 3? Think about it, 2 was a launch year title, which was in development way ahead of the actual launch of the Switch vs. 3 which has the advantage of the team having more experience with the hardware but compounded by growing pains of a new engine (but potentially more robust one; I mean why else change it from 2 if there was no benefit, right?)

@Jeronan Uhh what? I love all 3 of the games, but 3 bests 2 in nearly every aspect. Yeah, it has problems, but they are constantly fixing and improving things.
