I still remember hearing the words, "Splatoon 2 Launches July 21st!"

“Thank you so much for playing my game!”

i still remember during the final fest me and my online friends who were on chaos all named ourselves "dunked on", had the bowlcut and wore the same gear to look like sans undertale. this splatfest was truly a blast

As soon as I clicked on the video I almost started crying. It's been three years. I love Splatoon so much

"final splatfest" mario splatfest: exists

they made a whole line of mario and zelda games lets give the same fate to splatoon

This song really hits different after seeing the newest splatfest theme. Doesn't make this any less amazing tho. Splatoon 2 is and always will be Off The Hook!

The fact that Splatoon 3 is so close, this makes me want to cry my heart out.

Octo expansion:ending credits The whole splatoon community: crying Splatfest thank you video The community: crying

Splatoon 2: Was I a good game? Grim Reaper: No, I'm told you were the freshest game ever

Is been 2 years, I cannot believe my splatoon draw post was actually there, and yeah I’m coming back here after splatoon 3 trailer was released, thank you splatoon devs y’all make my life more happy.💗

It's genuinely amazing to see how Splatoon is a community-based game, from it's themes, story, and gameplay- everything is community driven. The very streets you walk in the game, you feel like you are truly a part of /something/. That's the magic of this game. That and amazing music, but you get the gist.

This video hit different after seeing the trailer for Splatoon 3

*video starts to end and I get sad* Pearl: "It's mayo all day yo!" *wipes a tear from my eye* "nice"

"This won't affect anything!" Us rn: so that was a f---ing lie.

Here at the last 24 hours before Splatoon 3 Thank you for everything!

Don’t “Ouch” because it’s over “Booyah” because it happened

When you realize Etika chose team Chaos and his team won. “We won Mr Stark.”

One thing I will always regret is not finding this game sooner. But I'll always be grateful that I was able to experience the last splatfest, even if Order lost. I love Off The Hook with my whole heart, and I can't wait them to grace us when the 3DLC drops.

I have no idea how a game about squid humans can make me feel a certain type of emotion.

We began as enemies, and ended as friends. Octolings and inklings, living in harmony~ How perfect. (:

Who remembers the first splatfest? It was ice cream vs cake. Seems like yesterday with the demo coming out as well.

3 years ago... Damn... Team order may have lost, but the memories of splatoon 2 will live on forever

オクトエキスパンションをクリアしてこの曲を聴いて、めちゃくちゃ感動した。疲れた時とか辛いことがあった時にもよく聞いてたな…。2人の歌声をきくと落ち着いて明るい気持ちになれます。

It's great that Nintendo acknowledges the computer-drawn artwork as a key part of Splatoon culture.

The fact that Nintendo made credits showing all the splatfest official art, and fan art for the final fest, while playing into the light, it is just beautiful.

Final splatfest: exists The redos, splatoon 3 and Mario splatfest: allow us to introduce ourselves

Splatoon isn’t just a game. It’s an event for millions across the world! That event continues soon with Splatoon 3!

Me: *cries that chaos won* Into the light comes on: starts crying more

Nintendo: last splatfest. Everyone: say sike right now! Nintendo: ok.

2 days until Splatoon 3 this has been a journey and I love it. Thank you Nintendo

I miss the good old days with splatoon 2

How much depression do you want in this video? Nintendo: Woomy

I like how Inkling advertising is just slapping flyers everywhere, blindly.

No one: Literally no one: *Me with my headphones on and sobbing to this at 3am:*

I got into Splatoon 2 about a month ago, long after the final Fest. I watch all these videos and kick myself for not getting a Switch while Fests were happening. I'm making sure to get Splatoon 3 on launch, I love this game and the community, so easy to stay positive and happy here, may it be the vibrant colors, the music, or the aesthetic, even in Ranked, it's not like other games where your ranking matters a whole lot. Each game being a couple minutes leaves you wanting more and enjoying the fight while it lasts, not worrying about the win. Another note on match times is that (at least in Turf War) the time limit doesnt let you get heavily invested into the single match. I love it. So thanks for welcoming me well, Splatoon fans, it made me love this game even more to go to forums and see positivity overriding the "X is OP and broken, fix or I leave the game."

No Nintendo. Thank you for making this happen. Without Splatoon 2 this would never had happen. Thanks for all our moments.

“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”

It really hits different now

That was a beautiful send off ... I feel like I just got 5 years removed from my lifespan

Everyone: "man it sucks splatfests are over, really wish they could do repeats." Nintendo: *that's a surprise tool that'll come in handy later*

"Dont Get Cooked Cuz Its Over... Stay Fresh Because It's The Best." -Cap'n Cuttlefish

this hits hard after four years (totally not crying)

Oh my I always feel like I come back to this video every so often I did not get to play the Splatoon 2 splatfests so. Being able to experience Inkoplis square during Splatfest again for us who did not get to play its just amazing. It's not the end of Splatfests in Inkoplis Square.

I haven't played Splatoon 2 yet seeing this made me as sad as when the final Splatfest of Splatoon 1 ended.

Even when chaos reigns, we can have wholesome stuff like this......

With splatoon 3 fest premiere in a week, this hits really different…

Imagine later on the final fest for Splatoon 3, when they make a video like this, and it displays all the splatfest that happened in Splatoon 3!

“Final Splatfest” January 2021: “WHICH POWER-UP WOULD YOU PREFER?!”

“How sad and nostalgic should we make this?” Nintendo: Yes

Man, we're near the end cycle of updates for Splatoon 3 too. Daybreaker Anthem's gonna hit hard when the thank you video for Splatoon 3's Splatfest is out.

Here in 2024 and i've been playing Splatoon since the first game and nostalgia is hitting while watching this. So many memories and emotions.

July 22 2019: final splatfest! April 22 2020: helo

Can we get an F for all the kids who couldn't play because of switch online

back here again, will forever miss the splatfests

Watching this video after years, remembering my splatoon 2 days. this is so much memory can't help but to be teary eyed. thank you everyone.

It’s crazy to think that it’s just over At least they’re showing fanart good job Nintendo

When you missed the final splatfest SAD OCTO :'(

I will never forget this, now that splatoon 3 is finally getting released soon, Off the hook will always be my favorite band 💖

this made me cry

WHEN PEARL PUT HER CROWN ON MARINA AT THE END THAT HIT ME IN THE HEART😭😭❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

**End credits song for Octo Expansion starts playing** Me: **Already starts crying again**

so many memories and friends I’ve made thanks to splatoon 1 and 2, It’s been a rough 6 years but I’m ready for a world of chaos

Playing in the last Splatfest made me wish I had participated in more of them ;-;

“It's time to go.” “Was I a good game?” “No. I was told you were the freshest one.” Thank you for this amazing experience Nintendo. You really opened up my eyes.

im gonna miss splat2 so much. though i am excited to move on for a new chapter in the splatlands, splat2 will always have my heart. change is hard, but nothing can last forever. ,,and remember, dont get cooked, stay off the hook

Splatoon 3 is great and all, but it’ll never come close to just how good the Splat2 fests were. Theme, color choice, and the special event fests were just so good. They really dropped the ball with 3

It's all over... We had fun. We laughed, we cried, we fought. We made friends, we made enemies. We each saved a friend from the clutches of a fiend, and some helped the lost into the light. In the end, we all had fun through this endless song of life. We each had our low and high tides, and we all hope we can experience this again. But for now... Its time to fade to black. Stay fresh. And Dont get cooked, stay off the hook.

When you missed out on the final Splatfest because you didn’t have online *sad woomy*

With Splatoon 3 coming out this week I gonna really miss this game. I had so much fun with it since 2017 and now it's time to move on.

the song makes me cry of nostalgia still xD.

I feel bad for all the kids who got this game for Christmas 2019. Edit: Haha release date gang

Mario: Thank you so much for playing my game! Inkling: *makes* *thankful* *whoomy* *noises*

It may have been the final fest, but I'm glad it wasn't the final chapter. I missed out on all of this, and now I have a chance to rectify that in Splatsville

Can't believe two years has gone by, this video still brings tears to my eyes

When you come in expecting chaos fans gloating and order fans being salty, but you only find wholesomeness.

I still cant forget that we had a race war in this game (inkling Vs Octoling)

Playing through Side Order made me feel nostalgic for the Splatoon 2 Splatfests, so I came back to see this video again. Hard to believe its been almost 5 years since Final Fest.

Still makes me tear up, even after all these years… this game was the freshest of them all. Thank you Nintendo for giving us this gem of a game, I’ll forever cherish it. ❤️🐙🦑

Chaos: *wins* 2020: *CHAOS*

Thank you, Nintendo, for putting on such a great event. I can't wait until the day Splatoon 3 makes its way into my home.

Crazy to think splatoon 3's final fest is less than a year away

i’m gonna miss splatoon 2 :')

Does this mean Splatoon 3’s background is gonna be a post-apocalyptic world, or just Pearl screaming BOO! behind Marina’s back every 3-5 seconds?

No, Thank you for all the games you made for us and all the people you inspired.

I feel really sad now because I tried so hard to convince my parents to get me Splatoon 2 years ago and I never got to play it, and now I look at this and think of how much fun I might've been able to have if I had just been able to get the game.

came back to this after playing splatoon 3 and i just gotta say splatoon 2 will always be held dear to my heart i remember the times i would stay up late on discord and make new friends, stay up all night and try to get to x rank, and try to beat the single player for the first time ever although it may be over this is not the end for splatoon. stay fresh guys

I remember when it was cats and dogs for splatoon 1 when I was just getting into shooters thank you Nintendo

Ah buying this game day 1 was soooo worth it~

Sploon 2 was a gem we didn’t deserve

I’ll be scared because imagine splatoon 3 final splatfest as well 😞😞😞

To think a new franchise, made just 4 years ago, would grow this big. It's been a pleasure everyone. Here's to another great game by Nintendo that has touched many people's hearts.

Literally everyone: “ Omg I’m so sad SplatFest is over 😞....” Nintendo: “hold my beer”

As a relatively new player and my first splatfest will be Rock, Paper, Scissors I'm disappointed in myself that I never played in any single one of these and never will. Im grateful I got to splatoon as fast as I did and will get to expierence a 3rd generation of splatfests.

*I'm not crying... I just have something in my eye...* *It's tears, tears are in my eye.*

My Team Order Marina drawing is on the wall at 0:38 I'm literally crying

When the I saw the final screen and read “Thank you for playing Splatoon 2” It gave me the same emotional almost gonna cry feels that I get when I run through Super Mario 64 and hear “Thank you so much for a playing my game”

It's been 3 years.. There's 14 hours until Splatoon 3 releases. I accept that Order lost catastrophically, but I still think.. Where would we be if Order won? What if Order prevalied that day? There would be no Deep Cut, no scrap metal stages, no City of Chaos. There would be Order. Futuristic, beautiful Order. If only. I want to go into Splatoon 3 with no regrets. I can't seem to shake this one...

Thank you Nintendo for such a great game that we love called splatoon two I hope that splatoon 3 splatfests are this fun I can’t believe that this was 3 years ago

My first tears of joy...thank you, splatoon 2 for such a phenomenal final fest...but it isn't over yet. i will still play until S3 is out
