Splatoon is getting a soundtrack CD release in October in Japan. Called Splatune, the Splatoon original soundtrack album will come out on October 21st.

The album will have two discs, with a total of 61 tracks from the game including Splattack! (the main theme), 37 music tracks (including those from the Ver. 2.0 update, and the E3 version of Splattack!), 10 jingle tracks and 14 sound effect tracks. Of course, the music from both the Single Player and the Multiplayer components are included, along with the voice effects of both Inkling types (Boy and Girl).

The album will have two discs, and the booklets will have comments from the development staff, but also “lyrics” for the tracks with vocals. Inside, fans will also have four alternate covers for the album, based on the fictional bands from the Splatoon universe. The price will be 3 200 Yen

Right. (+taxes, roughly €23 / $26 / £17).

-------------------------------------------------------

As a fan of both the old and newly added music. It's nice to see it get a soundtrack release.

37 music tracks?

Why does it feel like they're are only 5 songs in the game...

 

[ActStriker]

Day 1

 

[Zalman]

Might pick it up down the line. But yes, where's Donkey Kong yo

 

[entremet]

iTunes plz. I rip all my discs anyway.

 

[metsallica]

Tried to preorder earlier today on AmazonJP / CDJapan; nothing yet.

Single player

 

[ngower]

No splattered ink vinyl? Perfect opportunity missed.

 

[Brofield]

Main theme, six or so other four minute battle songs, the final push last minute, lobby selection music, the four shops, lobby waiting/equip music...yeah, even I can only come up with 14ish songs. Maybe they plan on adding some more music over the course of the next two months?

This made me curious, so I decided to go through Squid Beatz (a.k.a. sound test mode) and classify all the songs to see what the distribution was. It looks something like this:

1. Normal Multiplayer
2. Normal Multiplayer
3. Normal Multiplayer
4. Normal Multiplayer
5. Normal Multiplayer
6. One Minute Remaining
7. Results Screen - Victory
8. Results Screen - Defeat
9. Single Player Intro
10. Single Player Hub
11. Single Player Stage
12. Single Player Stage
13. Single Player Stage
14. Single Player Stage
15. Single Player Stage
16. Single Player Boss
17. Single Player Final Boss
18. Single Player Final Boss
19. Single Player (I forget where this one played)
20. Splatfest Hub
21. Splatfest Multiplayer
22. Splatfest One Minute Remaining
23. Credits
24. Stage News
25. Booyah Base Shop Theme
26. Multiplayer Lobby Menu
27. Multiplayer Waiting For Match
28. Normal Multiplayer (Added in v2.0.0)
29. Normal Multiplayer (Added in v2.0.0)
30. Normal Multiplayer (Added in v2.0.0)
31. Normal Multiplayer (Added in v2.0.0)

Based on this, it would seem that, before the v2.0.0 update, there actually were only 5 normal multiplayer songs.

So potentially five more tracks that could come before October?

If Nintendo was gonna C&D remixes, they would've started a long time ago.

 

[Kouriozan]

Worth it for that double Final Boss and credits music.

 

[Geg]

There are some tracks that aren't in Squid Beatz either, like the tutorial theme and the music that plays when you pick your inkling's sex/skin tone/eye color

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Worth it just for this.

Sometimes I just sit in the menu for 15 minutes.

 

[ChrisD]

Hrrmm. Hope this doesn't mean that more songs in patches are out of the picture past October.

 

[Cheat Code]

Splatoon has more than one song?

 

[Pokemaniac]

So potentially five more tracks that could come before October?

Potentially. One thing to keep in mind, however, is that there is some music in the game not included in Squid Beatz. For example, the main Hub area has a bunch of background songs that get dynamically interleaved with each other. Most of those songs are just simple melodies, and probably wouldn't qualify as full songs to be included in a soundtrack, but I'm pretty sure there are a few more substantial missing songs, as well.

 

[Lambtron]

Hook it to my fucking veins.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

61 tracks and not a single one by Hideki Naganuma. For shame.

 

[Litri]

Yeah!

 

[Baliis]

And I've been trying to spend less money.

 

[twothunder]

61 tracks and not a single one by Hideki Naganuma. For shame.

And he wanted it too

 

[ChrisD]

And I've been trying to spend less money.

Got to spend money to stay fresh.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Lyrics? The debates will be put to rest.

I'll say this next bit in the hope I am proven wrong.

Missed opportunity to include the full US commercial song without sound effects (too many people know the butchered "you're a kid, you're a squid, you're a kid, you're a squid...splasplasplasplatooon"...thing)

 

[Garraboa]

The album will have two discs, with a total of 61 tracks from the game including Splattack! (the main theme), 37 music tracks (including those from the Ver. 2.0 update, and the E3 version of Splattack!)

Fuck. Yes.

he's doing music for a kickstarter game with a similar visual style

[Choppasmith]

Nice! Can't wait!

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

The art from the game is amazingly great but that boxart is the most mediocre thing ever.
Even when you have great boxart designs from the madeup musical groups in the game.

While I couldn't be happier that Splatoon is getting an OST release (a really good looking one to boot) it's still sacrilege that Nintendo's sitting on DKCTF's OST.

game probably wasn't popular enough...

Tropical Freeze never got a soundtrack release? That's a shame.

 

[loaf of bread]

I hate Splatoon's music. Especially that weird grunge song thats just some dude blubbering.

 

[Thoraxes]

Hell, i'm on this.

Now I just need a FE if release too.

 

[Teknoman]

Splattack is the best Splatoon theme ever. Nothing else compares and it should've been the commercial music.

[CommandThrower]

I need this soundtrack. I needed it since Splatoon's release.

This will be imported on day one.

I love Splatoon but I've just realised that I've never heard the song from the advert. Ha.

 

[woopWOOP]

Full version of the E3 main theme is making me hyped.
Always liked that a little better than the ingame one.

 

[69wpm]

Holy crap I need a vinyl of this. CD is nice, but a vinyl, oh boy. Need that XXL cover art.

 

[leroidys]

As much as I love this game, the soundtrack never really clicked with me.

 

[nubbe]

wish splatoon theme was still used on the eShop

 

[OricWindstar]

What a delightful pun of a name.

And that is exactly what it should be called, excellent name!

 

[Rehynn]

Oh shit, we're getting official lyrics!
