The best part about Splatoon 1 was that you hugged your splattling when you won (they should bring that back to Splatoon 3, at least for the mini splattling. That’d just be so nice)
I got into Splatoon a year late and unfortunately had no internet at the time, so I spent so many hours in single player 100% it and even did all the amiibo level challenges. I eventually experienced online play with a hotspot but it was not that good and would get disconnected sometimes. Splatoon truly made summer special for me, just thinking about it is giving me nostalgia flashbacks. Sometimes I wish I could relive that experience for the first time again.
I was introduced to 1 by a friend and even after 2 I still prefer 1 but my gamepad isnt working right, and its hard to get matches in 1, very excited for splat 3 though cuz it looks like a good mix of the 2 styles of splatoon gameplay
Whenever it's a certain kind of weather that was the same way it was when I first played splatoon 2 a wave of nostalgia hits me. I wish there was a mode where you could just walk around all of inkopolis
instead of paying for nintendo online, i put myself through the pain of occasionally playing splatoon 1. and yes the wait times are like 5 times the length of a game. its fun times
I'm in the same situation. I have a switch but I refuse to pay for such a bad online service and so I still play mk8 and splatoon 1 on my wii u since those have free online
Oh my GOD, the timeline of bleached JayMoji hair!! I absolutely love this tradition with the Splatoon community of revisiting Splatoon 1 every anniversary, love to see it.
I agree! I struggled a lot because when I got Splatoon I was in an area with no wifi access so I was stuck in the single player for quite a while. Once I got online and Splatoon 2 recently I've gotten a lot more into the game, even getting S rank recently! This community is a lot of fun and I'm glad to be a part of it :)
I wish I got this game when it came out but I never did get it, the way I got into splatoon was literally just watching the FGTV videos and then I got splat 2, THEN splat 1 lol.
This made me nostalgic for when I first bought the Wii U for Splatoon. It came packaged with it... The amount of time I spent grinding for upgrades and ranks in elementary and middle was way too much.
God damn I miss this game. 2 is great and I finally got to play online recently after never being able to touch it because my switch didn't agree with my old wifi, but 1 definitely felt more fun. The specials specifically just felt so much more impactful and seemed to have a lot more kill potential than in 2. That said I still love 2 and being able to finally play online gave me a blast of nostalgia that I felt for 1.
It's been some years since I've played the first game, but I always liked the first game more than 2. The verticality of the game is part of what made it unique compared to other games in the genre. In the first game, you could ink up most vertical surfaces, but in 2 they changed the level design so only a few walls could be inked. Also in 2, you charge up ultimates faster so you get them more often, but at the cost of them being weaker (obviously). I preferred the less frequent but bigger ults from the first game.
I actually just got back into playing Splatoon 1 about three weeks ago after not playing any Splatoon at all for over three years. And goddamn it’s still fun as hell. I'm trying to complete all the goals I've had for this game since I got Splatoon 1 back sometime in early 2016, which means I'll probably be playing this game daily for at least a year. I'm somewhat concerned about the potentially limited lifespan that 3DS/Wii U online has left, especially with the upcoming eShop closures next March, but I don't think Nintendo will pull the plug on it that soon. Realistically I'd say DS/Wii U online's probably got at least another year of life after March 2023.
holyy the nostalgia from this game i remember waking my mom up at like 8 in the morning telling her how much i wanted this game and i would grind it for hours
DAMN luna blaster was so much more broken than I thought! I mean blasters are still not balanced, clash blasters are ridiculously powerful and a lot of the others are stillpretty powerful as well, but splatoon 1 blasters were on another LEVEL of broken!
I remember playing this game all day in the summer holidays after my 11+ entrance exams. This is up there with Minecraft and the other godly games. They should also definitely bring back the OG ( non gagged ) rainmaker. That was REALLY fun to use.
@@TheLethalOtter I used to be a god with the old splatoon rainmaker. It was my weapon when I played ranked. I was so good with it that I dropped like 30 kills whenever I had it. Ahhh fun times
2:05 I think everyone can relate to screaming to a bomb that can't be evaded anymore and you know you're gonna die or the sudden death because of a sniper XD
I just realized that I never really noticed, cared or took advantage of the abilities. I always just made myself look cool. So much pain could've been avoided but it made me really good lol
I've been watching Jay for 5 years (only got into splatoon when splatoon 2 was announced) I was 17 back then...now I'm 22...Jay stop making me feel older than I actually am. P l e a s e.
honestly when i first started playing splatoon moray towers was my fav and still was in splatoon 2 but when i tried that octo expansion level i started to rlly hate and i hate it since last year and changed my mind
7:30 '56+24 doesn't equal 100' of course it doesn't, but there is no way you inked 100% of the entire stage. there were certainly sections of ground that hadn't been inked at all. one team inked 24% of the stage, the other inked 56% of the stage. the other 20% of the stage was un-inked. In fact, it's nearly impossible to get to 100% in three minutes (or 5, for that matter)
So this is where the people you splat and the times you got splat are from! Man, they definitely brought back some good stuff from Splatoon 1 in Splatoon 3-
Splatoon 3 needs the bring back the killer wail. Idc, it’s an iconic special weapon. And the SOUNDS it makes. Was this weapon hated? Did I miss something?
I remember playing the first Splatoon game 6 months after it came out. I bought it used, because I never really liked shooters, so I wasn't that interested in the game when it first came out. The moment I unlocked the ranked modes, I was hooked and still am today
6:53 is similar to what I expected tricolour battles to be like when I first heard of them, three edges so each team works their way inwards instead of having one stuck in the middle to get decimated by the other two.
Splatoon 4: *releases in 2100* Content creators about to simultaneously release a splatoon 1 video all at the same time: im about to do whats called a pro gamer move.
NO WAY. I SWEAR ON MY LIFE I WAS PLAYING SPLATOON 2 WITH U THE OTHER DAY AND I WAS LIKE "DAMN THEYRE REALLY GOOD" AND THIS LITERALY JUST POPPED UP ON MY FEED I HAD NO IDEA YOU MADE YT VIDEOS OMGGGG
I played the heck out of this game. I haven't played Splatoon in a long time because I got so overly-competitive that it wasn't good for me. But I will forever remember the fun and good times I had playing the original. I'll always love that game and I'm glad I got to play this ink-credible series. If only I weren't the saltiest urchin on the face of the planet, maybe I could have fun with it again...
I'm playing it on the Wii U again as I watch this video, and if there's one thing that's bringing the experience down, more than anything now it's the wait for matchups. Whether it be Regular or Ranked Matches, I've been sent back to the lobby more often than I'm able to get a game due to not enough players being able to join up at once, and after waiting for several minutes just so one or two more names can appear. It's quite depressing when I think about the last time I played it back in 2018, when activity was still rampant in spite of the loss of Miiverse interaction and Splatoon 2 being in the mainstream market (which I still have yet to own, after the release of Splatoon 3 which I do own but haven't played yet). I've been detached from the gaming scene for bit so I'm just hoping to get all my thrills with older online games while I still can before moving onto more relevant player bases. Evidently people DO still play these games even if they're becoming more outdated and abandoned, and there's no shame in wanting to enjoy them for what they're worth. Not to mention the freedom there's had with some hackers making some matches just playgrounds for their own development god powers. (I once encountered a sniper making whole sections of floor covered in ink in an instant, then subsequently shot me from high above midair with our own team color.)
I was about to launch Splatoon 1 in 2022 but thank God I saw this title that was a close one here's hoping I can play Splatoon 1 in 2023 though

Me who doesn’t have a Wii U anymore:
“Ok I guess I won’t play Splatoon 1.”
I kept my wii u although I came close to selling it for €150 before but I still kept it because I love it so much
This brings me back to when I watched Jays old videos, man, how much we’ve all grown.

Yeah, now that you say that, I was surprised at how few walls you could ink in 2. It felt like you were more restricted in where you could move.
I actually just got back into playing Splatoon 1 about three weeks ago after not playing any Splatoon at all for over three years. And goddamn it’s still fun as hell.

Moray towers is one of the best maps for me and hope they continue to bring it into future games
Thank you for making me cry remembering how I found your channel back in 2015 when I just got obsessed with Splatoon and your videos
Yeah that’s what I hope for in the third game, being able to tell your team mates to “stop” or “don’t go there”
It is more amazing that you still have the stylus. It just got loose one day, came out unnoticed, has been gone ever since. Gone, but never forgotten.
