15 new multiplayer stages since release, counting two Salmon Run stages and the Shifty Station.

@r_hjort Really?! Woah I didn't know they added that much. Looking at the list now and pretty much everything 2.0 and on is brand new to me. Maybe I should play more.

@Zero
You and me both. I friggin' love the game, and yet I never play it. I don't understand myself.

@Zero

You guys can fix that right now! Are either of you up to play?

@Octorockin
I would like to, but unfortunately I need to get up a bit earlier tomorrow to take care of some stuff before noon, so I should go to bed.
06/25/18, 00:05
@Octorockin Nan I'm cleaning my apartment. I'll be on later tonight, either this or Fortnite.

@r_hjort

That's alright. Another time then!

@Zero

I'll check back later. Just post again if you want to play.

Loved the Octo Expansion. So much style.

Seeing people on Twitter talk about some secret post-game stuff. Worth doing? I completed about 40 of the 80 levels.

@Secret_Tunnel

I'm a completionist with my absolute favorite games so I had no problem beating every challenge and in all weaponry before seeing the normal final boss. That said, the post-game beyond that is not extensive but it's a great challenge for a Splatoon die-hard. You will earn something that will allow others to know you completed such a feat, but IMO the standard final challenge was more enjoyable. So really, if you enjoy Splatoon single-player a bunch, definitely keep challenging yourself with the other missions and with the other weapons too. However it's not essential IMO to reach that very last task.

I held off on this game far longer than I normally would for a big Nintendo release because despite really liking the original, I only played it a few times. I finally bit while it was on sale on the eShop for $40 around e3, but only started playing it the last few days. And no surprise, it’s one heck of a fun game! I seem to do just fine with my starter gear focusing on painting everything with occasional skirmishes with the other side, but then there are matches where there’s bombs and missiles and paint splattering all over the place and I have no idea what’s going on. Still a fun time, though!

@Brandon

Hope to see you on there! Glad you're part of the Splatoon 2 family!

It's back! The all-random Salmon Run set will begin on Friday at 5am PT (8am ET) and run until Saturday at 5pm PT (8pm ET). Anyone gonna try and want to try meeting up?

@Mop it up
Not promising anything, but I might. Depends on what happens here IRL.

@Secret_Tunnel Wait, what's so funny?
10/05/18, 18:25
Enjoying Splatoween! (Did they take out our ability to play with the background music on the matchmaking screen?)
10/20/18, 21:05
Came back to Splatoon 2 for the first time in ages. Was supposed to play some Splatoween Splatfest matches, but ended up playing three and then getting sucked into Salmon Run. Never played Salmonid Smokeyard before, I don't think! Anyway, holy shit this game is good. Why don't I play this everyday?
10/21/18, 14:40
You should play more r_hjort! I just hit 510 hours on the thing. It's a great game. Wanna play sometime? Are we linked on our Switches? Probably but what's your user name there and/or user code?
10/22/18, 04:26
The final Splatfest has been announced: Order vs Chaos! July 18-21st. After that, the Shifty Station stages will be available in private matches.

Wow, has it been two years already? I guess time flies when you're having fun. I'm really going to miss these events, especially because they were the only way to play Turf War in a party.
