In the latest issue of Nintendo's Summer 2024 Magazine, fans of the Splatoon series are treated to an exclusive six-page feature on the fictional music groups that have become a beloved part of the game's universe. The spotlight is on the "Great Big Three-Group Summit," a candid interview with the iconic bands: Deep Cut (Shiver, Big Man, and Frye), Off The Hook (Pearl and Marina), and the Squid Sisters (Callie and Marie). This gathering of Splatoon's musical talents not only discusses their potential collaborations and festival performances but also delves into their personal journeys and experiences within the series.

During the interview, Callie from Squid Sisters recounted a memorable tour of the Splatlands, guided by Deep Cut. "I hope you appreciated it. We know where the Splatlands shine better than anyone," Shiver remarked, reflecting on the tour. Callie shared her awe at the natural beauty of Scorch Gorge and the bustling Hagglefish Market, describing the experience as unforgettable. Meanwhile, Marie playfully teased Callie about her emotional response to the memory and suggested a reunion with Off The Hook for their customary teatime, which they hadn't enjoyed since their tour began. Marina from Off The Hook proposed visiting a new sweets shop in Inkpolis Square, extending an invitation to Frye for another karaoke battle, aiming to settle their previous score.
