Deepest lore

So when Mario fails, he lets squids handle all the dirty work for him.
Animal abuse right there!

 

[Fiktion]

Wut? xD

Thanks a lot Streets

Sounds like sriracha mayo. Now I'm hungry.

The two most recent tweet translations:

Before going to bed last night I did a quick Google translate and it was just talking about food and I was so confused. That's just hilarious XD

 

[shadowkat]

Recently, probably because I've been thinking about squids non-stop, I can't help but notice them everywhere - even at the supermarket.
The other day, I bought a packet of a certain type of calamari for 150 yen. I pan fried it with butter and soy sauce, then dipped it in mayonnaise that was mixed with some ground up chilli pepper seeds. I wonder if it it is alright for something so delicious to exist.....

LOL.

Thanks for all the translations Streets.

 

[Boss Doggie]

So seafood ending?

 

[spiritfox]

The Inklings going to join up with the Octopus troops at the end of the game to fight against seafood eaters?

We received a sketch from one of our researchers. This is a female Inkling with the Charge Shot Gun equipped. This knit cap, with its large decorative badges, makes her look cute...wait, what am I saying? She's a squid!

[Note: have we been calling this gun the 'Sniper' in English?]

 

[Azure J]

Knit caps are top tier accessories.

I LOVE the character design in this game. Those squid beanies need to become a reality and been included in a LE or something. Thanks for the translation!

i'm in love with the art design

 

[Nanashrew]

She's too cool to be cute. So far all the inkling's I've seen are really rad.

i need a squid beanie ASAP

This game has so many monetisation opportunities. Squidwear™ branded clothing, official Splatoon line of waterguns, a Splatoon-themed watergun arena, etc.

[L~A]

Thanks a bunch, really enjoying those Twitter update

 

[Prevolition]

Reminds me of

 

[foxuzamaki]

This might be too soon to say this but I bet all this stuff at most will cost in-game money.

Better than outside-game money. Would be a good way to reward long term play too.

 

[NotLiquid]

Knit caps? Really? Come on Nintendo, I thought I couldn't love this game more.

NICE THREAD...SUBBED!!!!

That is adorable.

Also is Fiktion's avatar fan art or actual art? Because its also adorable.

I doubt we'll see anything official, but at least it's highly likely that all of the ingame hats will be replicated by fans.

Though we do have evidence for some official hats existing:

That is adorable.

That's another piece of Masahiro Anbe's Twitter fanart. It'll be a shame if they ignore his clear enthusiasm to collaborate with them...

 

[Lernaean]

I love it how open this younger team is, with all these updates.
They really want to be the creators of the next familiar character(s) of the company and as far as I'm concerned they are doing a good job.

 

[Fiktion]

It's by the Ikamusume (Squid Girl) mangaka.

 

[JB2448]

Because why not, here are the last two images posted on the Splatoon Twitter account in their originally uploaded resolutions:

(If anyone else wants to do this in the future, just add rig to the very end of every pbs.twimg.com URL. For example: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B3gXWxMCQAA_1rX.jpg:orig.)

 

[Smiles and Cries]

It's by the Ikamusume (Squid Girl)

.

sorry to go OT is Squid Girl still ongoing ? since the creator seems to be a fan of Splatoon wonder if the show or manga will try to show the game with Squid Girl becoming a fan too

Thanks for the translation. Seems even the researchers can't resist the inkling girl 's cute design.
Can't help but like the official Splatoon artwork myself

イカ研究所からの調査報告だ。
タコの戦闘員の装備には、いくつかの種類が確認されている。盾で前方からの攻撃をふせぐもの、インクの中に潜伏して待ちぶせするものなど、さまざまな手段で主人公の行く手を阻むようだ。

[black_clavus]

This is translation result by google translate:

It's investigation report from the squid Institute.
The equipment of the octopus of combatants, several types have been identified. Things to prevent the attack from the front in the shield, such as those to Buse wait in hiding in the ink, it seems hinder the way of master public by various means.

Spoiler

that was nicest Japanese to English translation I ever had.
Edit: I take it back, not that good :/

 

[Zero²]

Yeah translator really doesnt work well with japanese xP

 

[Arcblast]

lol Google. Well, the translation is not too bad. It messed up some keywords that's all.

buse wait = ambush
master public = main character

---

Man this game looks fun. Cannot wait.

 

[Blunoise]

Can't wait for this. I hope it becomes a big unexpected hit!!

No one mentioned deBlob yet?

Need a translation!

Need a translation!

"This is a report from the Squid Research Lab. We’ve confirmed that the octopi fighters are using several different kinds of equipment. Their shields defend them from attacks, and they can wait in the ink for an ambush. They’ll use all kinds of tricks to get in the hero’s way."

That's what nintendoeverything makes of it.

New update:

"これもタコ軍団が作った仕掛けらしい。 扇風機の羽根のような仕掛けをインクで撃つと、それを動力に足場が動く仕組みらしい。あまり勢いよく羽根を回すと、足場ごと敵に突っ込んでしまうこともある。 慎重な操作が必要とされるようだ。"

Though we do have evidence for some official hats existing:

Hnnnnghhh! The beanie created by fans looks actually better than the official ones they used at E3! Official Splatoon squid beanie like the first pic needs to happen so bad. Next Spring fashion trend for sure, haha.

Nintendo's squid hats don't seem to be official. You can buy them at Amazon -

[Crocodile]

I'm not a huge FPS guy but I love pretty much everything I've seen of this IP and given the internet response I'm not alone. This needs to be a comic, an anime, DLC for Smash, Amiibos, merch up the wazoo, etc.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

The aiming is going to have to be really solid for this title considering how many different devices are activated by shooting them as well as just general ink spray. Some customization options would be nice.

This game is just so Mario-esque with its few control inputs but using those to interact with and move in the environment.

コイツは自動的に侵入者を追尾し、雨のようにインクを浴びせて駆逐するらしい。イカの攻撃は一切きかないようだ。恐るべき兵器だ……。
