I think this is our first machine accessible exclusively through a super meter! Splatoon 3's Crab Tank hints at a larger scale than is accurate- this is a still a game of squid kids with super soakers, not Battlefield 1942. Given at least one piece of concept art we saw today, I wonder if there was an intention for Splatoon 3 to be more ambitious, and have a larger scale of conflict than its predecessors. To be honest, it's probably time for a move like that? But that's not why we're here. Today's about YOU, Crab Tank. And you're cool.
This episode, we relied on the Splatoon Wiki, and only the first three images we reference in the ep aren't available there! I put them in a Google Drive folder here for your viewing.
