I have the wii u original but never opened it.
I would rather the dev team make something else, hopefully now.

I'm not really into playing online a lot. Even when I'm in the mood for fps games, I prefer more tactical slower-paced fps. I've played Splatoon online and it's okay, but I would prefer a more thoughtful puzzle-based Splatoon solo campaign.

Yeah, this for sure. Plus just knowing that you're going to fork out $60 for a game that won't even retain online support in a couple of years. I mean, what do you even do with Splatoon 2 if you own it since it's out of seasons afaik?? The one saving grace is that if you have Nintendo Online, I think you're getting the expansions with your subscription. (I'm probably wrong about this but too lazy to look it up)

More of a Foamstars kind of guy.
Plus I don't have Nintendo online any longer!

What's the multiplayer like? I've only played like 5 min of Splatoon 2 demo. If there isn't a lot of strategy involved then I probably made the right choice

I'm deep in these streets! 800+hours in Splatoon 3. Rank X on the reg, report the queers for pally on the reg, alt account smurfing with my gf on the reg.
Not in love with how much YOLO shenanigans came back the last two seasons, but it's still my favorite multiplayer game.

No strategy but plenty of tactics
Turf War is the easiest mode and then loops around to being the hardest at high skill levels -- paint the most territory, highest percentage wins.
Splat Zones is paint and defend a set area in the center of the map your color for 100 ticks (with penalty time added when you lose the zone)
Tower Control is capture and ride a moving tower along a set path from the center of the map towards the enemy base.
Rainmaker is a "capture the flag" mode, but the flag is a weapon.
Clam Blitz is the most degenerate, but honestly the most strategic -- pick up clams distributed across the map, 8 makes a football/rugby ball which lights you up on the map (no more hiding)... throw the ball into the basket near the enemy base (20 pts), which opens it up for all clams to thrown in for two points. Basket stays open for ten seconds, or as long as clams are thrown in. Points count down from 100.
High skill ceiling, and yes you can have a strategic mindset when playing. Helps to have a team, but you can "quarterback" a solo queue once you learn the maps, the meta, match flow, and player/weapon tendencies. Usually a back line or support role — definitely harder to make your team win than to be a 20- splat hero blaming your team for your losses.
Near perfect information presented in the HUD plus the ability to watch match replays, you can tickle the MOBA / RTS parts of your brain if you wanted. Or just be a cro-mag with Emperry Dualies or QR Splatana.

Splatoon 1 servers were up until a few months ago. People still play Splatoon 2… mostly degenerates tho.

I'll send you my friend code when I'm on Switch next.

Those game types sound interesting, maybe I'll purchase the next Splatoon if Nintendo upgrades their online support with their new consoleNo strategy but plenty of tactics

All this talk makes me want to bust out the switch and purchase Splatoon 3...

All of Japan is behind Splatoon, it's almost as big as Pokémon over there. Always loved the concept, they struck gold with it too. But I'll wait until Splatoon 4. Haven't trusted an online multiplayer shooter since Halo and Gears of War dwindled away into obscurity. If I'm gonna jump into a shooter online multiplayer experience again it has to be excellent. Great weapons, outstanding maps, decent campaign, tactics and strategies being utilized heavily throughout a match. Maybe Splatoon 4 will be that game

What are your concerns? It's probably the best time to jump in -- tons of maps, tons of weapons, tons of players and well stratified ranks, fun campaign and a second DLC campaign if you want more.
Tactics and strats in pub queues area as good (and bad) as any, but the HUD and map gives you tons of information to deploy tactics if you can parse it in real-time. For the record, matchmaking is fast.
As for longevity, you can still get Splatoon 1 matches, I played a couple of months ago. Servers shut down this April .. almost 9 years of uptime!!!
Here's a video of one of my favorite players if you want to see what high-level thought process and decision making is like with the most basic weapon:
And another "highlight reel" of what a good sniper looks like in action:
Come diving in Endless Ocean. It's got squids, basically the same thing.
