Splatoon Feature: The Great Big Three-Group Summit
Nintendo's Summer 2024 Magazine, a publication primarily distributed in Japan, dedicated a six-page spread to the fictional music groups within the Splatoon franchise. The "Great Big Three-Group Summit" brought together:
- Deep Cut (Shiver, Big Man, and Frye)
- Off the Hook (Pearl and Marina)
- Squid Sisters (Callie and Marie)
The interview covered a range of topics, from musical collaborations to festival performances. However, a particularly memorable moment involved Deep Cut's grand tour of Splatlands for the Squid Sisters.
Callie recounted the breathtaking beauty of Scorch Gorge and the lively experience of navigating the Hagglefish Market. She described the towering buildings as "amazing," highlighting the unforgettable nature of the tour. Marie, ever the playful one, jokingly suggested a reunion, hinting that Callie might become emotional remembering the trip. This led to Off the Hook proposing a teatime gathering, a tradition long overdue since their tour began. Marina suggested a new sweets shop in Inkpolis Square, and Pearl extended an invitation to Frye, adding a playful jab about their last karaoke battle.
