The real world!
This article or section discusses subjects found in real life.
Retired.
This article describes content that may be partly or wholly inaccessible due to its removal or the discontinuation of online services.
- For the Splatoon 2 online service, see SplatNet 2.
- For the Splatoon 3 online service, see SplatNet 3.
SplatNet was a multiplayer service website, created by Nintendo, which players could log into with their Nintendo Network ID to view a variety of information about Splatoon. It was launched on 5 August 2015 (though only in Japanese at the time), just a few hours after Version 2.0.0. Exactly two months later, on 5 October 2015, its English version was released.[1] The service has been discontinued, and was succeeded by SplatNet 2 for Splatoon 2.
Pages
Friend List
| “ | Check the online status of your friends or see who you're battling with! | ” |
— Subtitle of the page
| ||
Located at the homepage, this showed which of the player's friends were currently online.
A yellow button above this list reading "Set Battle Plans!" allowed the user to utilize Twitter to state what time and mode they wished to play, as well as which weapon they planned to use. The Tweets not only described the request in text but also attached an image with the same information, the idea being that Splatoon-playing friends on Twitter could see the Tweet and respond.
Rank
| “ | Win battles to raise your weekly rank! Rankings are reset every Sunday at midnight! (Your rank is calculated by multiplying number of wins X win rate.) | ” |
— Subtitle of the page
| ||
Players could see how their performance in the current week compared to their friends, in either Turf War or Ranked Battles. During Splatfests, the players with the top 100 Splatfest Power were shown. The scores for this were not ones seen in-game and were calculated using the player's wins and win percentage.
On Fridays and Saturdays, players could Tweet their scores before they reset on Sunday.
Equipment
| “ | Check out the gear and weapons you had equipped while playing online! | ” |
— Subtitle of the page
| ||
Information about the player's level, rank, and currently equipped weapons and gear (with abilities) was shown, as well as a list showing how much turf they had inked with each weapon they used. Friends' profiles could be accessed by clicking their name or Mii on one of the other pages and contained the same set of information.
Stage Info
| “ | Use the stage information to guide your weapon selection and battle strategy! | ” |
— Subtitle of the page
| ||
Perhaps the most useful aspect of SplatNet, this page showed not only the current stages but the upcoming two rotations as well. Knowing the stages and ranked modes of the next 8 to 12 hours could help players plan.
Closure
On 30 August 2017, Nintendo announced that it would be permanently closing SplatNet on 30 September 2017.[2] This announcement came just after Nintendo announced the closure of the service Miiverse.
Trivia
- The site was supported by mobile browsers.
- While players may not have been able to understand the text on SplatNet when it was only in Japanese, it still allowed them to log in regardless of their region and use all of the features. Most of the time, players could infer the meaning of the Japanese using the pictures, with a couple of exceptions such as the ranked mode on the stages page.
- For a while, SplatNet's stage info page would follow the Japanese Splatfest schedule, replacing the content with a link to the Splatfest page on the Japanese Splatoon site during Japanese Splatfests, and continuing to show the normal sets of stages during those of other regions. However, this changed sometime before the fifth Splatfest (Art vs. Science and Messy vs. Tidy). Non-Japanese players would not be shown the Japanese Splatfest stages and would begin to see the stages used in their Splatfests on that page. Additionally, the times above each rotation changed from Japan Standard Time to whatever time zone the player lived in.
- Because both SplatNet and Miiverse were subdomains of nintendo.net, logging into or out of one did the same on the other.
- In Japan, SplatNet changed its name (Ika Ringu, Squid Ring) to タコリング (Tako Ringu, Octopus Ring) during the Squid vs. Octopus Splatfest.
