One of my favorite tracks aside from “Splattack!” is the music that kicks in when you have one minute left in the match. The 90s Nickelodeon similarities are spot-on, too. Nevertheless, I adore the game and its music (and unintentional squid memes). I know they rotate maps every so often throughout the day, but playing the same 2 over and over for an hour is kind of a bummer. I do wish you could cycle through more than just 2 levels at a time when playing online though. I never feel like I’m too good at Splatoon but it’s still super fun, and the music and aesthetic are a huge part of that. If it weren’t for Hotline Miami 2, Splatoon would’ve been my favorite soundtrack of 2015 🙂 Seems potentially a bit too Japanese culture centric, but I’d love if it were true! There’s some speculation that the live Squid Sisters music concert in Japan recently might be testing the waters for something like that to be their for the public E3 event like the pre release Smash Bros tournaments and the like in recent years. Hope Nintendo push this into franchise territory, as on every level I am excited for more. The two music tracks associated with it make for one hell of a moment. Was completely blown away by the music and atmosphere of the final boss in the Single Player when first getting into the game. It adds a real fresh flavour to the game you usually only get in games with ensemble soundtracks like Jet Set(/Grind) Radio, but with greater worldbuilding cohesiveness. I love the fictional bands behind each ‘genre’ of tracks credited on the soundtrack that you mentioned at the top. I just got the Splatune album (best name) and have been listening to it a lot off the back of playing tons of the game itself last year. still, excellent mini episode, so glad we get more VGMpire now.Īh, the timing on this is great. really it sounds like a lot of the kind of music the guys at Gainax attached to their films in the late 90’s and early 2000’s up til’ around 2010 with the Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt OST. Also, Mikel’s right, music it really does remind me of The Pillows work on the FLCL OST and a little bit like the Japanese band High Voltage who did the ending theme “Underground” for Gurren Lagann. a delightfully frenetic game with an aggressively upbeat and fun OST. which would explain the Ska/Rock, Pop/Punk, Rap/Rock sound. It’s very reminiscent of the musical sound of the 90’s. you can really tell how old the composers are based on the sound they went for. It’s really very Ska like and that’s okay because I love Ska. My roommate has caught me on more than one occasion whistling the “chorus” part while cooking in the kitchen. when I’m drawing, it pops in my head and my mood gets really upbeat and positive and I just feel super good. The Multiplayer VS Theme 3 (Seaskape) is the song that I always hear. I haven’t played Splatoon in about two months now, but the music still plays in my head all the time.
