In a delightful feature from Nintendo's Summer 2024 Magazine, the beloved fictional pop duo from Splatoon, Callie and Marie of the Squid Sisters, share a heartwarming interview with other iconic music groups from the game. This exclusive sit-down, dubbed "The Great Big Three-Group Summit," brings together the talents of Deep Cut (Shiver, Big Man, and Frye), Off The Hook (Pearl and Marina), and the Squid Sisters themselves, offering fans a deeper look into the world of Splatoon.
The interview kicks off with the groups discussing potential music collaborations and their experiences performing at in-game festivals. However, it soon evolves into a more personal exchange, with Callie fondly recalling 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 responded, underscoring the group's pride in their home region.
Callie's enthusiasm for the tour was palpable as she described the breathtaking beauty of Scorch Gorge and the thrill of navigating the bustling Hagglefish Market. "Plus, there are all these super-tall buildings out here! Amazing! It was definitely a tour I'll never forget," she exclaimed, capturing the wonder of the Splatlands.
Marie, ever the playful counterpart, teased Callie about her emotional attachment to the memory and suggested a reunion with Off The Hook for their customary teatime. "I think Callie might cry at the memory of it," Marie quipped, before extending an invitation to Off The Hook. Marina eagerly agreed, proposing they explore a new sweets shop in Inkopolis Square, while Pearl playfully invited Frye to settle their ongoing karaoke rivalry.
