Fast Fact: Before the squid-like Inklings were created, Splatoon starred ink-gun toting rabbits. The Splatoon developers were never able to find an answer as to why the rabbits would be shooting ink, and realized squids would be a much better fit for the game’s central motif. In it’s earliest genesis, the game featured black and white “tofu-like” blocks, shooting ink at each other to steal turf.
Fast Fact: During Splatoon’s development, Nintendo had heated debates over whether Splatoon would introduce a new Nintendo IP or if it would star Mario. Ultimately, Nintendo went with the potential upside of creating a new IP and purposely banked on the youth of the Animal crossing team to give them a fresh take on both the 3rd person shooter genre and a new franchise.
Fast Fact: When players are on the password screen, highlighting a number will produce a unique musical note. If you follow a specific order you can play the Squid Sister’s hit, and final boss theme of the game, “Fuel the Melody.” The sequence is too long to repeat… so we’ll just leave it here.*

Fast Fact: To create the sound effects of the squids diving into the ink, the audio department recorded themselves pounding slime over and over again. Composer Yuki Tsuji personally went out to purchase household items like Borax, starch, solidified jelly, wood glue, and through some wizardry, created the slimey sounds we all know and love today.
Fast Fact: It’s no coincidence that the Octobrush resembles the Hanga Bake, a type of brush used in Japanese printmaking. The Japanese version of the game even identifies the weapon as the “Hokusai,” a reference to the edo-period artist, Katsushika Hokusai who is best known for his woodblock print series, “Thirty Six Views of Mount Fuji”.
