Oh, right, those exist now.
Egad, it's been ages since I fired up Spla2n...At last when Nintendo Online goes...online later this year, it'll be relatively cheap.
The Greatest Dog:
Ah, finally got around to participating in a splatfest. Fun times, but everybody seems to be on team Love.
commandercool:
Nintendo Direct dropped some huge Splatoon bombs.
Yaaaay playable Octolings finally yaaay! And their own campaing too!
Hooraaaay Camp Triggerfish is back!
Also some other stuff like a new rank above S+ and something about Callie but who cares about dumb ol' Callie anyway am I right!

Forget Marina, Agent 8 is the true octopus waifu. :P
On that note, anyone else getting a Portal vibe from the DLC?
commandercool:
Octo Expansion is out early! Downloading now!
Edit:
If you're on the fence about picking up the DLC I recommend you do it. It's made me so happy... the level of polish is amazing, there's so much fun stuff to do and look at. I have the big art book that Dark Horse put out for the first Splatoon and I feel like Octo Expansion could already fill its own art book with all of the scenery and character designs. And it fleshes out the characters of Marina and Pearl quite a bit, which is very welcome. And Captain Cuttlefish too. We learn that his first name is Craig. Craig Cuttlefish. :D
And that's to say nothing of the gameplay, which feels very sharp. I play a lot of Splatoon but I'm still finding it to be tricky. Tricky but fair. The levels are much shorter than in Hero Mode but much more narrow, which leads to some interesting challenges like finishing obstacle courses within a short time limit, dodging enemy shots for 30 seconds without taking a single hit, and tight target shooting courses. I hope the challenge types don't repeat very much, I'm not too far in and I could see that being a problem later on, but nothing so far indicates that too many of them are cookie cutters.
