Nintendo Treehouse: Live — Splatoon Raiders: detailed viewing guide

Nintendo’s extended post-Direct demonstration shows longer raid segments, menus, combat decisions and the pace of normal gameplay.

A Speed Tank raid with live decisions

The first section pairs dualies with Booyarang and Blast Boot, showing how mobility tools solve traversal and control crowded Salmonid encounters.

The preparation screen is the real value

Back at the Hideout, the presenters switch to a Tactical setup, inspect Gadget Parts, Relic Powers and numerical effects, and explain why a loadout is more than a weapon choice.

Co-op is shown rather than summarized

The second half forms an online group and demonstrates individual player preparation, level scaling, shared objectives, team lives and the busier enemy composition of a multiplayer raid.

Loot closes the loop

The team finishes by collecting the raid rewards, connecting the combat demonstration back to equipment and upgrade progression.

  • Watch an extended official gameplay session.
  • See raid movement and Salmonid fights without trailer-speed cuts.
  • Observe menus, equipment choices and stage flow.
  • Use the footage to judge moment-to-moment pacing.

Is this video still accurate now?

This June 30 session uses an official pre-release build, but its menus and core rules match launch coverage. It does not provide a final verdict, campaign length or endgame analysis.

How this video differs from other Splatoon Raiders coverage

This is the better Treehouse video for build menus and four-player co-op. The 22:49 June 9 Treehouse segment is better for first-time controls, early exploration, the Hideout and a more beginner-oriented introduction.
