Splatoon Feature on Nintendo's Summer 2024 Magazine

The Great Big Three-Group Summit

Nintendo's Summer 2024 Magazine, a premier gaming publication distributed by Nintendo Japan, dedicated a comprehensive six-page feature to the vibrant world of Splatoon's fictional music groups. The spotlight was on three iconic groups:

• Shiver, Big Man, and Frye, collectively known as "Deep Cut"
• Pearl and Marina, the dynamic duo "Off The Hook"
• Callie and Marie, the celebrated pop group "Squid Sisters"

These artists gathered for an interview dubbed "The Great Big Three-Group Summit," where they discussed music collaborations and festival performances, but the conversation soon turned to their personal journeys and experiences within the Splatoon series.

Callie from the Squid Sisters fondly reminisced about a memorable tour of Splatlands, guided by Deep Cut. "I hope you appreciated it. We know where the Splatlands shine better than anyone," Shiver proudly stated in response to Callie's gratitude.

Callie shared her excitement about the tour, "That natural beauty of Scorch Gorge was breathtaking! And I had so much fun squeezing through the Hagglefish Market crowds. Plus, there are all these super-tall buildings out here! Amazing! It was definitely a tour I'll never forget."

Meanwhile, Marie playfully teased her bandmate and extended an invitation to Off The Hook for a reunion. "I think Callie might cry at the memory of it," Marie chuckled, then suggested they should all meet for their usual teatime, which they had missed due to their busy schedules.

Marina from Off The Hook agreed, "Yeah, not since our tour kicked off," and proposed visiting a new sweets shop in Inkpolis Square. Pearl also chimed in, inviting Frye to join them, "You're invited too, Frye. We'll settle our score from the last karaoke battle!"
