Splatoon Raiders Gameplay — Nintendo Treehouse Live: detailed viewing guide

Extended Treehouse gameplay shows the raid loop in motion, including movement, combat, loot collection and the Exploration Bot.

The most beginner-friendly official demonstration

The presenters explain ink movement, aiming, Salmonid attacks and Bot Buddy at playing speed rather than compressing them into trailer shots.

The Hideout connects combat to preparation

A mid-video tour shows Deep Cut, facilities and the Tank decision before the presenters leave the ship for a larger raid.

The second raid shows the real reward loop

Spirhalite, weapon drops, Mega Power Eggs, mobility assistance and a Showstopper appear during a longer objective sequence.

Its scope is deliberately introductory

The demo avoids endgame builds and review judgments. Use the later Treehouse session for detailed Parts, Relic menus and four-player preparation.

What you will learn before pressing play

  • See how a raid begins and progresses.
  • Watch Tank and Gadget choices in live gameplay.
  • Observe Salmonid encounters and treasure collection.
