This… Very Strange Pose
As expected, Splatoon 2 made an appearance during the Nintendo Switch announcement. The whole squid vs. kid war is still going on, natch, and there’s plenty of new weapons and maps that players will get to go at when the game comes out in the summer. But it’s hard to think about that when this whole picture up above is going on.
After the trailer plays, producer Hisashi Nogami came on stage to explain the cool hotness that’s coming to Splatoon 2. During his presentation, he makes some poses with the two real life replicas of a pair of submachine pistols new to the game called the Splat-doolies (which may be a play off some word, who knows). They get increasingly weirder to watch, with the winner being him throwing his arms out while his head is aimed downward and his body gets into a semi-dab position. It’s supposed to reflect the squid above, but even so, it’s one of those things that would make more logical sense if he were wearing a squid costume instead of regular clothes. He could also be trying to turn his body into the number ‘2,’ but that doesn’t come across well either, if true.
