Splatoon Spotlight in Nintendo's Summer 2024 Magazine

The Great Big Three-Group Summit: A Musical Gathering

Nintendo Japan's Summer 2024 Magazine dedicates six pages to a fascinating interview with Splatoon's iconic musical acts: Deep Cut (Shiver, Big Man, and Frye), Off The Hook (Pearl and Marina), and the Squid Sisters (Callie and Marie).

The "Great Big Three-Group Summit" covers a range of topics, from musical collaborations to festival performances. The artists candidly discuss their experiences throughout the Splatoon series.

Callie recounts Deep Cut's generous tour of the Splatlands, a vibrant, far-off region. Shiver's response, "I hope you appreciated it. We know where the Splatlands shine better than anyone," hints at their pride in their homeland.

Callie fondly remembers the stunning Scorch Gorge and the bustling Hagglefish Market, adding, "Plus, there are all these super-tall buildings out here! Amazing! It was definitely a tour I'll never forget."

While Callie reminisces, Marie playfully suggests a reunion, teasing, "I think Callie might cry at the memory of it," before reminding Off The Hook of their overdue teatime.

Marina, agreeing that it's been too long ("Yeah, not since our tour kicked off"), proposes a visit to a new sweets shop in Inkpolis Square, extending the invitation to Frye ("You're invited too, Frye. We'll settle our score from the last karaoke battle!").
