Once again Japan gets the coolest commercials, this time for Splatoon 3

These are pretty universal too

Japan just got a string ofSplatoon 3commercials (as spotted by Nintendo Life), and as usual, they’re fantastic. And even educationally show off some gameplay!

The best part is that in trueSplatoonfashion, you really don’t need to understand another language to pick up on these commercials. The fun is universal, as each character below is shown being attacked by ink in real life, and fights back with some weapon at their immediate disposal. That includes an umbrella (Brella), bow and arrow (Tri-Stringer), bucket (Slosher), and a brush (Octobrush).

Splatoon 3 commercials

They really nail the vibe ofSplatoon, and have made me more excited for the next entry than a lot of the official announcements so far. There’s something special about hearing theSplatoonsoundtrack, listening to that ink noise, and seeing the actual ink color that hits that nostalgia center. I meanSplatoonis “only” seven years old, but that’s nearly a decade folks! Pretty soon that’ll enter “retro” territory, depending on where you draw the line.

Either way, I’m just happy thatSplatoonsurvived, and wasn’t a casualty of the Wii U’s fantastic fireball of a death.
