The Splatoon Series Can do More With its Broadcast Format
After a successful Splatfest World Premiere demo, Splatoon 3 is preparing to launch on Friday, September 9. The one-day event established three competing teams — Rock, Paper, and Scissors — to represent each member of the series' latest idol group Deep Cut. Shiver's Team Rock took the win, with many fans complaining about balancing issues in Splatoon 3's Tricolor Turf Wars, but ultimately it was a good first showing for the group that will run Splatsville's Anarchy Splatcast over the next few years.
The Splatoon series has been characterized by its \news broadcast format since the beginning. Splatoon's Squid Sisters, actual cousins Callie and Marie, originally introduced the new stages in rotation for Turf War matches alongside other updates and events. Splatoon's Splatfests were also hosted by the duo, each of whom picked a side, and the pattern stuck for their Inkopolis News successors Off the Hook. Though Deep Cut's role will largely be the same, Nintendo could experiment with additions to future broadcasts that make them more «realistic» to bolster certain aspects of the series.
Splatoon 3 Should Experiment with Mid-Battle Weapon Swaps
Asking for more realism in the news broadcast for a Splatoon game is perhaps absurd; despite efforts to bring the Squid Sisters and Off the Hook into real life with hologram concerts, the idols are video game characters who exist to serve mechanical functions like explaining the map selection in a third-person shooter. Yet giving them a bit more believability with the need to eat and sleep could open fun opportunities.
All Splatoon hosts can be found chatting with one another in their studio between broadcasts, and the only time they leave is for live performances during Splatfests. Story
