No discourse, just goofs. The hottest new socialmedia platform is a Splatoon 3 lobby.
While I loved my time with Splatoon 3 during my pre-release time with it, something was missing from the experience. Nintendo asked reviewers testing the game during the few days where servers were up to not create in-game messages, the social staple of the series. That meant that the streets of Inkopolis were a little quiet during my stay, with no posts popping up over players’ heads. I couldn’t wait to see how much fans would liven the place up once the game officially launched.
That may feel classically Nintendo in how behind the times it is, but there’s a key communication tool in Splatoon 3. Like previous games, players can create rectangular messages that’ll display over their avatar’s head when they populate someone else’s lobby. Sometimes, messages will even appear as graffiti on walls. It’s a holdover from both games’ Wii U origins, as players could use the gamepad to draw messages and Nintendo’s Miiverse for social experiments.
It’s not just a space for jokes. Some players use the post feature to create legitimately cool fan art within the limitations of the system. Others are already using it to make the game a haven for queer and trans folks, throwing messages of support out into the void. “Shout out to trans people,” one post I encountered succinctly states alongside a drawing of an Octoling offering a fist bump. Just about the only thing you won’t find in Splatoon 3 is heated discourse.
