Goby Arena/Quotes

Splatoon 2

“	Our tireless research has resulted in a thrilling discovery! Yes, today we learned that Inklings play basketball! The existence of a new stage, Goby Arena, indicates that Inklings may even play the sport competitively. As you can see, the details of the sport have been fairly well preserved. The arena is complete with a full-size locker room, polished wooden court, concession stands, jumbotron, VIP seating, and memorabilia shop. Furthermore, it appears that the arena is converted into an ink-battle stage during the offseason, and this unique location should make for exciting battles indeed. We suspect that the mid-court area, along with the two basketball hoops on each side of the court, will be a focal point for all battle types. Gaining control of the hoop on your side of the stage will give your team the high ground you need to push forward. We’ll continue to closely monitor this new development and will provide updates in due course.	”

“	Goby Arena is a brand new stage set within a basketball court. It's a state-of-the-art stadium, complete with a huge overhead monitor, food court, VIP seating, and even a souvenir shop! There's a hoop at each end of the court - no matter if you're playing Turf Wars or a fierce Ranked Battle, bringing these two hoops under your team's control can give you a serious strategic advantage. Goby Arena will be added to Splatoon 2 soon, and there are more stages on the way. Stay tuned...	”
