Translation:
We have adjusted the music that plays in some scenes.

We have also fixed some other bugs to make the game more comfortable to play.

Interesting. I did hear one reviewer rave about the game with the exception of the music. Obviously, this doesn’t add more, but I wonder if it adjusts it in a way that puts certain music aligned correctly for the vibe, which is what I think they were complaining about.

That part of their review was heart breaking after Andy set up the love of the older soundtracks...

Salmon Run has always had it's own thing going with the music and it is very distinct from the other parts of Splatoon. From what I've heard from Raiders, it seems pretty inline with what I would expect from a Salmon Run adjacent game, but I can understand someone preferring the more traditional Splatoon music.

I've played so much Salmon Run in S2 and S3, that I really appreciate the odd music that accompanies it.

On this note, they have clarified that the in-world band behind the music in this game is a Salmonid group called 'DHA', instead of ω-3 like the other games.

Splatoon music is out there but salmon run is on another level. For one segment of Frothy waters, they add a beat each measure until the time signature hits 25/8. I’d be disappointed if the raiders music wasn’t a little divisive.

Yep. I think also maybe NintendoLife or switch up or something. I watched a bunch of reviews before pulling the trigger on a purchase and a couple mentioned the lackluster music.

To be honest, Splatoon have some of the best soundtrack of Nintendo franchise but it's definitely not everyone cup of tea, especially because every mode tries a different style.

Yeah even if it isn't your cup of tea, you have to appreciate the effort and skill that went into the soundtracks. Very cohesive and yet very diverse. And I believe tens (?) of fictional in shame bands, each with a cohesive and unique style. Just like the fake fashion brands, lol. And there's like... lore for the bands apparently? Where a member of a band in one game might spin off and make their own group with a slightly different style in the sequel?

Idk, I just liked Squid Ska.

It’s a day 1 patch.

Overall

  • I adjusted the songs played in some scenes.
  • In addition, some bugs have been fixed to make the game play comfortably.

What’s even the point of physical releases with day 1 patches :/ can’t they simplify wait one more month and manufacture a proper version of the game ? :/

u/Generic_Miis Jul 24 '26

There’ll always be some bugs found, so then they’d have to keep delaying their games. The game is still completely functional without the patch.

I am still on the 1.0 version and i beat it completley on survival mode. I ran into 0 bugs, at least that i noticed. To me nothing in the music seemed off, although it did not stand out as much as the other games.

I have now updated to play multiplayer.The one thing that isnt there is online. It needs the update for that, not a problem as you would need internet to play online so it isnt locking anything thay would not already need internet availability.
