Splatoon 3: More Features Salmon Run Should Add Alongside Egg Throws

gamerant.com:

Splatoon fans are eagerly awaiting the release of Splatoon 3. The game is following up on Splatoon 2’s final Splatfest, which won in favor of Chaos. This was quickly communicated in the reveal trailer with an upside-down Eiffel Tower buried in a wasteland, and further wrinkles have been introduced in the story mode involving strange furry creatures called Mammalians. With Splatoon's stand-out aesthetics and compelling paint-spreading gameplay, Splatoon 3 is likely to be another smash hit.

While everyone is eager to see more of the story, hub, and multiplayer, the last Nintendo Direct instead revealed Splatoon 2’s Salmon Run mode would be returning as Salmon Run: Next Wave. Salmon Run is a PvE mode focusing on a team of players repelling waves of Salmonids, and Splatoon 3’s take on it looks to improve in every way. The ability to pass point-granting eggs between players has been added, and the eggs can even be thrown directly into the goal basket. There are also new tools, enemies, and what appears to be a new endgame boss enemy. Even with that, there are plenty of ways to improve Salmon Run further.

Salmonids May Get the Octoling Treatment in Splatoon 3

More specials, Salmonid variety, boss Salmonids, maps, and events are all either confirmed or likely to be coming. What isn't confirmed is any new communication options. Players in Splatoon have very limited ability to communicate with one another, and in a mode that demands precise play from a team of four, there should be more methods of communicating intent and strategy. The left and right d-pad could be used to call for help or to give other such directions. The option to stay with a particularly cooperative team after any given run would also be appreciated.
