Splatoon's Three-Group Summit: A Meeting of Musical Minds
Nintendo's Summer 2024 magazine dedicates six pages to a fascinating interview with Splatoon's iconic musical groups: Deep Cut (Shiver, Big Man, and Frye), Off The Hook (Pearl and Marina), and the Squid Sisters (Callie and Marie). The "Great Big Three-Group Summit" covers collaborations, festival performances, and candid reflections on their journey within the Splatoon universe.
Callie of the Squid Sisters fondly recounts Deep Cut's generous tour of Splatlands, a remote and unique region in the game. Shiver's response, "I hope you appreciated it. We know where the Splatlands shine better than anyone," highlights their pride in their home. Callie's enthusiastic description of Scorch Gorge's beauty and the bustling Hagglefish Market paints a vivid picture of their memorable adventure.
Meanwhile, Marie playfully teases Callie, suggesting a reunion with Off The Hook. She playfully notes Callie's sentimental attachment to the memory, prompting Marina to suggest a teatime gathering at a new sweets shop in Inkpolis Square, extending the invitation to Frye and proposing a rematch of their last karaoke battle.
