Trivia
- The EuropeanNintendo Direct incorrectly showed the Wasabi Splattershot's special weapon as theInkzooka instead of theInkstrike. That would not be allowed, because the Inkzooka had already been taken by the Tentatek Splattershot.
- This weapon was absent fromSplatoon 2, likely in favor of theKensa Splattershot being the new third variant of theSplattershot.
- However,Splatoon 3 would later add in a new variant of theTentatek Splattershot that featured Splat Bombs and theTriple Inkstrike, making it a successor to the Wasabi Splattershot's toolset.
Etymology
