All the basic weapons from previous games will be available in Splatoon 3.
The original Japanese announcement specifying this full-on return will be implemented straight from the day of release.
NintendObs Daily. Monday, May 2.
It's a promise. I don't know exactly how it's going to happen in terms of kits and the potential return of the first Dual Squelcher but, Nintendo pretty much guaranteed that whatever weapon you used to play in Splatoon and Splatoon 2 will be featured in Splatoon 3, obviously with the addition of new weapons — one revealed and more to come — the original Japanese announcement specifying this full-on return will be implemented straight from the day of release. In more Splatoon 3 news, everything is unfolding exactly as I predicted last week, with details dished out regularly since last Monday such as the evolution of the Takoroka brand and the notable introduction of the upgraded Triple Inkstrike.
