New Super Mario Sunshine Rumor

Recently, a new SMS DLC rumor has emerged, but I wasn't sure if I should add it or not. Opinions?

I believe these were confirmed to be fake. Either way, I wouldn't post any leaks on the wiki until they are confirmed. ~SuperHamster Talk 21:13, 17 June 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Now that I look at it, my link might be debunking something else - but I still wouldn't recommend posting something so unconfirmed and potentially fake. ~SuperHamster Talk 21:14, 17 June 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Permission was given in the Skype chat, so I went ahead and added the images. If you would like me to revert the page, let me know :) Thesquidsisters (talk) 22:52, 17 June 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Looking at the page, it looks all right - nice job :) My only worry is having the page turn into a giant list of too many fake leaks. Ideally, leaks that are reputable and covered by trustworthy Nintendo news sites are what I think we should cover. But until that becomes a problem (if it does), I won't argue it. ~SuperHamster Talk 23:53, 17 June 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
We could employ another rule: only leaks that generate massive discussion are allowed. If somebody on the depths of 4chan posts a blurry 64x64 image, and all the replies it gets are 4 people calling them an idiot, I hardly think we should try to cover that. – EspyoT 08:01, 18 June 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Possible Sunshine Leak

NWPlayer123 posted a picture of this a while ago. https://twitter.com/NWPlayer123/status/652299052025942021 Luma Party (talk) 18:29, 12 October 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

August Update/DLC datamine

We know that the gatling gun and the paint bucket was confirmed from the Japanese testfire commercial. Some person (I don't think it was NWPlayer123) had already datamined Splatoon again. It revealed more information about those upcoming weapons (Sheldon's weapon description, sub weapons and weapon specials). All can be found here: http://pastie.org/pastes/10310878/text. Discuss. InfiniteMusume (talk) 10:10, 26 July 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

So the Ink Bucket is actually the Bloblobber that was revealed in the previous datamine. I don't think we should use this new information on pages, because it's still a datamine and against our policy. - ShrimpPin 14:03, 26 July 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Brace yourselves, NWPlayer123 is at it again. The update has apparently been datamined already. I listened to some of the ripped music some minutes ago. AmbientDinosaur (talk) 23:57, 5 August 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Slosher Machine

NWPlayer123 Once again leaks a new weapon called the "Slosher Machine". https://twitter.com/NWPlayer123/status/656646169179779074 https://twitter.com/NWPlayer123/status/656645221980114944 — Preceding unsigned comment added by WoomyLuma (talkcontribs) 03:01, 22 October 2015 (UTC)‎Reply[reply]

Shouldn't this be updated?

^ Now dat's a nutty kid. 20:10, 20 December 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

What needs doing and can you not edit the page? Slate Talk Contribs 21:36, 20 December 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Well, there are two "ongoing" rumors that I'm pretty sure were resolved. And yes, I can, but I don't have the proper information. Now dat's a nutty kid. 02:19, 21 December 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Squid Sisters amiibo rumour

Now, we have a latest rumour regarding to the unconfirmed/unannounced Squid Sisters amiibo shown in the game's files. Could someone please add this rumour to the article? Also the ongoing ones were already confirmed months ago. -InfiniteMusume (talk) 09:31, 8 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Kay, I got it. Thanks for the source! --Bzeep! talk 23:55, 8 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Splatoon 2 boss rumor confirmed

I can confirm that Callie does indeed show up as part of the "Octobot King II" battle, having been brainwashed by DJ Octavio's "Hypno-Shades". Link to confirmation is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-1b541wFSg

It also reveals the existence of the fourth boss, the Octo Shower, and the Hero Brella. Splatzoner (talk) 22:39, 19 July 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Following up on this, I've found a second video verifying the above and confirming the Octostomp to be returning as the third boss. As it is from an established YouTube user known for reliable information in the past, it should be safe to begin adding information to the main pages. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaFZ61sEwTQ Splatzoner (talk) 00:52, 20 July 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

New Weapons and Gear Confirmed?

During the Splatoon 2 section of yesterday's Nintendo Direct, it looks like some of the leaked weapons were shown. In the part when they show the player ranking up to Rank X it looks like they are holding Custom Dualie Squelchers. And when they are showing player on the various new stages, some inklings appear to be holding other new weapons like the H-3 Nozzlenose D, a Brella type weapon, some form of Tetra Dualies possibly the Light Tetra Dualies, and possibly the Clash Blaster Neo. Also, when they were showing off some of the new gear you could see certain pieces like the Squid Nordic, Squid-Stitch Cap, and the Gas Mask. So, does this confirm these things? And should we update the page or wait? Kyubz Sig.png 14:27, 9 March 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I think we should update the pages, the ones we can update that we know enough about them so we'd have less work when they arrive. ShaharSig2.pngShaharSigtalk2.png 05:55, 10 March 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Can I make a new table?

Bravebravesirbrian here. I want to know if I can create a table of all the upcoming weapons found by dataminers and what we believe their weapon sets are, just to organize them and put them in one place.

This table could be updated as time goes on and more information is gained.

New datamines

There has been some new datamines, where for example WemI0 has been posting models for weapons such as Splatlings, Sloshers, and also Salmon Run gear. There has also been posted parameters for these weapons, and the Grizzco charger were leaked before the rotation began. Should these be added to the page? -Hinamin (talk) 08:41, 30 April 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Outdated Info

I see that the Ongoing section has content that's been confirmed ( Ballpoint & Explosher) and busted (Marie's Hero Charger & Flounder Heights). Could these and others like them be fixed? P.J. GT (talk) 23:11, 11 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

If you want to, you can move the content from the ongoing section to where it belongs. > Fumple (-> talk) 13:14, 15 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Possible/placeholder/ Splatoon 3 date (most likely fake/not real, but I'm not sure)

This is a giant claim to say, but I looked at a website (I looked for the link of the website and I can't find it) and it showed that in the italian version of Amazon, the date that it had for Splatoon 3 was June, 30th, 2022. I am not sure if this rumor has enough evidence behind it or if the website just made up the photo saying the date for it to go here or be mentioned. CherryAudino75 (talk) 15:03, 1 March 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm gonna assume it is a placeholder date. June 30th is a common placeholder date, since it is the last day of the second quarter of the year. Businesses usually pick the last day of a quarter if the date hasn't been set yet. --AmbientDinosaurSig.pngAmbientDinosaurSigTalk.png 19:31, 1 March 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Ok, I actually didn't know that, so would this be called a fake/debunked rumor? CherryAudino75 (talk) 19:57, 1 March 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Splatoon 2 codename: Bazooka

Do you guys think that the weapon with the "Bazooka" codename could possibly be the Inkzooka-like special weapon in Splatoon 3? dedf1sh07[talk]S2 Gear Headgear Golden Toothpick.png 22:00, 2 March 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I doubt it, but that's actually a good theory. The Splatoon series has been noted for its infamous development process and constant scrapping of ideas, so it wouldn't surprise me if it was originally a scrapped weapon. WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 02:32, 3 March 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Actually, you just gave me an idea for a potential new page. I'll make sure to talk it over with the others later tomorrow. Thanks! WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 02:36, 3 March 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Splatoon 3 rumors

The Splatoon 3 rumours in the Ongoing section are more speculation than real rumours as there are no sources given and not much evidence. Should these be moved?

The apartments rumour is unlikely as in every other splatoon announcement so far the hub world was shown from a low rotating camera looking up at buildings, including background buildings that were never used.

NZZN (talk) 20:37, 9 March 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm in agreement that this speculation feels out of place for the subject of the page, but I don't want to be the one to make any decisions regarding that. StarAdamStar (talk) 20:51, 9 March 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Should the apartment rumour still be in ongoing?

Hi, in the ongoing section, there is the rumour "Apartments in Splatoon 3". I think that if there were going to be apartments, they would have announced them by now. Also, the lockers seem to have similar purpose to what apartments would have had as well.  GX_64 (talk)  08:47, 26 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I agree.--MissDelibirda (talk) 09:28, 26 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I've moved it to the bottom section as it's just a false theory. Erratic-Fanatic (talk) 00:13, 19 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Leaked song I found

I found a leaked Damp Socks song on Soundcloud. Do I put this in ongoing or confirmed? Here's the link to the song: https://soundcloud.com/user-341740545/thunder_09_mastering-splatoon - Woomy? (talk) signature signature 14:13, 1 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Since the game hasn't been released yet, and it was not featured in the demo, I think that it should still be in ongoing, like the datamined Stringer. This is just in case they change it before the game is released.  GX_64 (talk)  04:03, 2 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Got it! Gonna put it up then. Woomy? (talk) signature signature 13:02, 2 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

About the Splatoon 3 story mode leaks and extras

Hello Splatwiki users!!! I have a dataminer friend and we have a lot of info on our hands including story mode related stuff. Do you mind if we post here or nah.

Timewip2020 (talk) 02:21, 2 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I looked at the policy: "Inkipedia does not condone leaking content and breaches of agreements. However, Inkipedia does cover leaked information that can be sourced by other, reliable sites. Leaked content should always have a citation to an external site and as such, no leaked information should be original content on Inkipedia." I think that putting you and your friend's information here would be original content, which is not allowed.  GX_64 (talk)  08:31, 2 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Can we even be sure the leaks are true? OctoAmbush (talk) 11:48, 5 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

SamusHunter's splatoon 3 existence

In the confirmed leaks section, samushunter hinting at the existence of splatoon 3 is mentioned despite samushunter not being a credible leaker and their tweets being educated guesses at best (see reference 26 of this exact article), not sure if this should be included as "confirmed" leak if no insider information was actually involved.

Leaks, Rumors and Theories

After looking through the article, there seems to be quite a large margin of acceptance as of what can be posted here. Throughout the game's history there've been many datamines and leaks, and even a few theories which have been thrown on here. Which makes me wonder what counts as enough of a leak to be on this article. At the very least, if everything was included for clarity, this list could end up being a LOT longer with Splatoon 3, and given the amount of speculation and rumors... even longer.

Could this do with a cleanup, removing theories and speculation that aren't sourced? Or maybe an additional article that includes all confirmed datamines? Even if it isn't implemented, it can still fall under "unused content". Erratic-Fanatic (talk) 00:13, 19 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

To do

Soundcloud Leaked OST Removed

When I checked the link to the soundcloud playlist with the leaked ost, it said that the playlist was either deleted or made private. Does anyone know why this happened or if there is another way to access the soundcloud playlist? JeffreyHobob11 (talk) 03:11, 8 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Squid Sisters dance datamine

So with the Inkopolis DLC being added to S3, there were two dances for the Squid Sisters that were datamined. One is for City of Color, but the other one is not something seen anywhere in the Splatoon series. The audio is missing from the files, so there's no way of knowing what song it's used for. Should this be mentioned on this page? WolfTamer RotM Icon Agent 1.png 04:25, 10 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

new songs

there has been a few discussion going on twitter, about a new song called daybreaker anthem, it is speculated that it will play after a splatfest in the few hours before result are revealed, based on the file name : BGM_Plaza_Fes_Afterfes_IdolSong .

there are also win and lose themes sung by the idols, all these audios can be found on youtube by a channel called '' DJ boy 09'' VioletOcto (talk) 14:44, 3 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
