dan finally playing splatoon , who woulda thought this day would come 😭

I cannot describe how happy this makes me This man was literally 90% of my childhood, and now that I've grown into a splatoon obsessed teen, seeing him make a splatoon video just brings me so much joy lol, very fresh

i hope he does more splatoon videos lol, splatoon is extremely nostalgic and so is dantdm literally my entire childhood in one video

As a half-decent n-zap main, i have some tips to give. 1.) Zap is a very aggressive weapon. You need to go in fast and hit your shots. One thing that can help with this is using gyro controls. Although it is hard to get used to, the difference it makes in close quarters skirmishes is DIVINE. The sensitivity that I personally use is -5 and 0. 2.) Tacticooler (Your special) should primarily be used before large team battles. The run and swim speed boost are splattastic but the main upside is 1 SECOND respawn time, which indirectly allows for incredibly aggressive play. So yeah, tacticooler gud. 3.) Given that N-zap is such an aggressive, short-range weapon I usually play a flanky, fast playstyle and splatoon's amazing movement largly contributes to this playstyle. Besides that, I am so monumentally happy that a youtuber of your dignitas is now playing my favorite game, and is using my favourite weapon. Thank you, Daniel.

This is a dream come true. I’ve always wanted to see Dan play Splatoon. Edit: yes I am aware that he played Splat 2 awhile ago I specifically meant Spat 3. Sorry :(

Will you do the story mode as a series ?

Dan playing splatoon is something I didn't know I want but instead I needed it

Hey Dan! I love that you are playing my all time fav shooter series, and I wanna give ya some tips since you seem to be having so much fun: Shoot a bit higher with shooters that way you can paint more with them. Ink base after you push in and do the initial fight, it's free special to build up later just in case. Turn on motion controls if you plan on playing longer term, they have a mouse level of aim control once you get past the initial learning curve. In general I hope yo see more from you, seeing people enjoy this series is awesome. :D

the irony in Dan trying to get the best weapon is that he probably already has it. The regular splattershot is a top-tier weapon lol

Dan will always be legendary for all his hard work to post for us. I'm happy I'm able to support him! Hope you reach 30M soon, Dan!

Oh my goodness it feels so strange to watch Dan again.. I'm happy he seems happy as ever!

I’m so happy that your playing this Dan! I wanted to give you some tips to help a bit. I noticed in the beginning you were inking the ground directly, this is pretty time consuming and it’s better to fire in the middle of the screen, you will cover more turf more quickly by doing this, it also give you a advantage to attack your enemies when you get jumped. Also don’t be so persistent in inking every droplet of turf, ink the general area and leave the little missed bits, it’ll get covered later in combat, trust me! Love the video and please let me know if you saw this! ❤️

Nice to finally see Dan play Splatoon, I highly doubt that he'll make another video, but as a small tip of he does, it's better to use the Motion controls than the analog sticks

I don't even play 80% of the games he posts about but I still watch anyway because quality content is quality content.

Dan is a LEGEND. Been watching for 8 years, seen you on tour 2017. Glad to see he's still uploading quality content! He was my favorite childhood KZfaqr, AND HE STILL IS.

Splatoon is my favourite game and I can’t believe Dan is making a vid on it! Really hope this turns into a series!!

This was fun to see. Glad you enjoyed it. Have any thoughts about story mode? EDIT: Nice triple shot by the way.

I've been waiting for a splatoon video for months, so this is so cool to see! Love your content! :)

Dan playing this game is always fun to watch! You did pretty well, my man! I'd love to see more splats from you in the future, especially with the Pokémon Splatfest coming in 2 weeks! If you play during the Splatfest, I hope you splat up the competition!!

If you're planning on maining N-Zap, place the Tacticooler (your special) near your teammates, that way everyone of your teammates can get the stat boosts too.

Dan please turn this in into a series! Would be amazing!

Watching Dan play Splatoon 3 is so surreal to me but I'm all for it 🐙

PLEASE play more of this game!! Its my favorite and im obsessed with it

My main advice as someone who's been playing this series since not too long after 2 came out is just go with what weapon you think works the best for you! My favourite is currently the Sloshing Machine!

Splatoon 3 is soooo dope. I was really hoping for you to do a video on it. Now it’s here 😃

Been wanting to play this for so long and i finally get to see pro gameplay😆

It’s awesome to see a legend at work, and in Splatoon! Just watching you play makes my day! Hope you reach 30mil soon!

I luv that dan still is making videos every vid make my day better!

i didnt expect you to play splatoon 3 for a video but im here for it

So cool to see you playing Splatoon! Would be amazing if you played story mode, I think you'd really enjoy it!

What a great video! Make more of these Dan these are awesome!

plz continue this series! I'm probably gonna get this game for christmas and I really want my favorite youtuber to keep playing this!

Splatoon 3 most certainly did not dissapoint. It's so awesome

Im so happy that Dan is playing Splatoon, It's one of my favorite games

Dan playing my favourite game, yes please! This was a great birthday present for me. I would love to see Dan play more Splatoon. Maybe try Hero Mode aswell?

Please do more. This was very fun to watch.

watching dan play such a different way than I do was so funny

BRO KNEW THE VSHOT META WAS COMING

Dan! I loved this video you should definitely make more of these videos.

This is something we wanted but never expected. With the Nzap, I would suggest high sensitivity, and putting the drink by your team. I used the Nzap a lot in September and I got top of the leaderboard with those 2 main things, hope ot helps, and I do not want to sound annoying or bossy...

Let’s make this a series 🙏

I really hope he keeps playing!

8:14 “the swish swish” -Dan 2022

I never knew Dan played Splatoon! I hope you play more of this in the future (Also that last triple kill was insane! Great job)

i swear, every time i watch one of dan's videos i get hit with a wave of nostalgia.

Heres a tip that I've learned over the years. When you're covering, you can put your cursor up more and just keep going left and right. This will cover more in less time.

It’s so cool that your playing splatoon 3 it has been all I have been playing right now. SO COOL! I hope you keep making videos of this game I would love to see more! 👍

Omg do more of this, this is my favorite game make this a series please

Honestly hope you play more Splatoon 3 a lot more than the other games, currently obsessed with it lol

We can all agree that Dan never disappoints us!

dan playing my favorite game brings me endless joy

Please play more of this game, I really enjoyed this video

This is what happens you you don't even play the story mode

Crazy to see how Dan's changed honestly raising 90% of his fans from young Tnx dan much love!❤

This is my favorite game! Please keep playing! Maybe the story mode? Salmon run? Tableturf?

Dantdm I’m so happy you played one of my favorite games of all time and I’m just wanting to let you know you really should play the story mode since it’s a decent length probably could make 2-10 videos on the whole thing and I just wanted to tell you that I’m one of your biggest fan I may be young but I’ve been with this channel since around 2015 I’m praying you see this! I love you Dan The diamond minecart,your my hero

The best weapon is the splash o matic

Hey Dan, quick tips (that are not just telling you to switch to motion controls), when your player is facing the other way, for example, your character is looking at the camera, press the “y” button. This will cause your character to immediately snap where your character is facing. Get used to it.

YOO!! I have been OBSESSED with splatoon lately, and have 115 hours. it made my day to see this video :)

PLEASE PLAY MORE OF THIS, THIS GAME IS AWESOMEEE!

The last video I watched of Dan was 11 months ago, which was his let's go pikachu series. Its nice to see that after all this time he still has so many supporters, he deserves every one of them.

I love your vids so much. Some KZfaqrs run out of creativity or just have some videos that aren't as good as usual, but you somehow never disappoint us. Considering he has a family to look after at the same time! I hope Asher and Jemma are good. Keep up the great work! 😁

I love this. Please play more Splatoon 3in the future. Also, even though it sounds counterintuitive, could you try not inking base at the start of the game? The reasoning is that it lets you get to the middle faster and gives you uncontested turf to charge your special with later on in the game.

dan i am so happy to see you play this! its one of my fav games rn

Top splatoon player cringing because back then nzap was not that good

Let's get Dan to 27M! I think he deserves it mostly! 💪 💪 💪

I hope you play this game more and make more videos about it. It was very entertaining to watch.

A tip for using the inkzooka (the special weapon on the splattershot): when you use it, there's some arrows on your screen that go forward and curve down, that shows you how the shots are going to arc, so you can use that to your advantage to try and hit better shots

Noice woerrk

daaaan, its the splash o matic! n zap kinda sucks! it has nothing special, its just there and not worth it in a team comp.

Seeing dan play splatoon is so entertaining. Hope we see more splatoon content

I love this so much. P.S. quick tip if u decide to continue playing, use motion controls (you don't have to) because it's a lot easier to aim with motion controls and you'll get much better aim once you get used to it (also please do story mode I'd love that even more)

Watching Dan play learning everything is so cute

Dan please do more, the guy who made my childhood special playing one of my favourite games ever would just be so cool as a series

I havent got splat 3 yet but you playing and naming stuff just brings me joy XD

Finally, splatoon! Hope u can make this a series dan :)

a bit of advice, usually turning on motion controls helps you aim, and it may be just me, but i think dan would be absolutely cracked at aerospray. best crossover ever.

So glad that Dan finally play Splatoon. Really hoping he does more of this!

dan has come a long way from his minecraft videos and still making quality content i love it

Been watching you for years and you have made my life amazing

Please play more of this game, I beg of you!

Dan i would love more!!! I love seeing childhood youtubers plsying games im currently into!! :D

Always good to see dan playing video games

5:55 That, Dan was a version of the bomb that chases the closest enemy.

ive been waiting for you to play 3 and i really hope you do more gameplay of splatoon 3 because its my fav switch game

the fact that the n-zap 85 was my main in the second game and dan being my favorite KZfaqr is nostalgic for me

Dan’s Splatoon 2 video in 2017 made me want to play the game! Now I’m a Splatoon content creator and its the most I’ve ever been into a game! Thanks and I’m so glad you’re playing 3! Also why is he using sticks!?!?

Its cool to see Dan play Splatoon 3, as a fan of Splatoon and Dan seeing this makes me smile :)

Hey dan.I loved your video! Im a huge fan of splatoon. Just wanted ti say that inking while you’re looking down doesn’t paint as much as looking up. I’d love to see a playthrough of the story mode!

Been growing up with Dan for the past 8 years, the farthest back I can remember is that one video, with the pigs and the airships. I’ve gotten into this phase, kind of an obsession with Splatoon. It’s really nice to know that Dan has kinda grown up with me. I kinda wish there was an event going on around here, where I could meet him. Maybe when I make my own channel, I could possibly collab, if he would give me the chance. I told myself that at one point, if I could have one wish, it would be to play some Minecraft with Dan.

DAN, please play more of this!!

Feels weird coming back to see Dan play base Splatoon 3, how times have changed after over a year and a half.

Yeah you really figure out what you need to do that is an important part of splatoon keep it up

Glad you're playing Splatoon 3, it's a really cool game. Maybe try playing it more? Make it a series? The story mode is also really really cool.

I grew up watching DanTDM and played Splatoon since the start. Makes me happy for both to be added all together :)

i have loved dans vids ever since i can remember but i found recently he has been playing games that im not really that into but now he is playing splatoon 3, a game i have over 400h in, this is great i love it

Dan if you didn’t know with the dualies you can double press and aim joystick anyway and you will sidejump or front flip and it will help you’re movement when you’re in very risky battles

Hay Dan i’m happy you’re playing Splatoon 3 and And I hope you do more videos on it 👍🏻

Pls do more LOVE THIS

After all this time, we finally get another splatoon vid from dan :)
