Splatoon Featured in Nintendo's Summer 2024 Magazine

The Great Big Three-Group Summit: A Splatoon Musical Collaboration

Nintendo's Summer 2024 Magazine (primarily distributed in Japan) features a six-page spread dedicated to the fictional musical acts within the Splatoon franchise. The article centers around "The Great Big Three-Group Summit," an interview featuring:

• Deep Cut (Shiver, Big Man, and Frye)
• Off The Hook (Pearl and Marina)
• Squid Sisters (Callie and Marie)

The interview covers a range of topics, from musical collaborations to festival performances. However, a particularly memorable moment involved Callie recounting Deep Cut's tour of Splatlands:

"Deep Cut gave us a grand tour of Splatlands! The natural beauty of Scorch Gorge was breathtaking, and the Hagglefish Market was a blast! Those super-tall buildings were amazing! It was unforgettable!" Callie exclaimed. Shiver responded, "We know Splatlands' best spots better than anyone. We hope you enjoyed it."

Marie, ever the playful one, teased Callie and suggested a reunion with Off The Hook, hinting that Callie might become emotional at the memory. This led to Off The Hook proposing a teatime get-together, a tradition long overdue since their tour began. Marina suggested a new sweets shop in Inkpolis Square, and Pearl extended the invitation to Frye, adding a playful jab about settling their score from a past karaoke battle.
