So this time we have a burp contest instead of a spitting contest. What could be the puzzles to solve this challenge?

Maybe creating a fake blowfish with a bellows hidden inside, so that we inhale more air… or maybe with soda in it, to burp louder.
That would be fun (and silly, but still fun).

Don’t forget the trailer with Brrrmuda, which I’d swear has both a fish-eating contest and something that’s either arm-wrestling or a staring contest.

Hmmm… I’m not sure if I’d like another arm wrestling thing. Depends on how it’s done. Staring contest could be fun though.
If it will be a burping contest and if titanic air-shattering burps are needed to win it, let’s praise the actors’ skills:

I’m so hyped.
And the more I look at the art in motion, the more I like it.
I also noticed the overabundance of green as @seguso said, but I think that’s because it’s all from the same island. That’s like saying that MI1’s Mêlée has too much blue.
Also I want a game where you win a burping contest by actually burping into your device’s microphone.
Not very important, but that’s Melee island, the old store with the shopkeeper, according to LowLevel’s irreprehensible investigation.
Pirate settings have a prevalence of wood, so there should be a prevalence of orange and brown. (blue for the night). If there’s a lot of green, it becomes too sci-fi and modern, not very piratey…
there’s a lot of seaweeds and rotting wood
A new controversy has arisen, even bigger than the art style backlash.
This time even Tim Schafer is contributing to the embarrassing investigation: into which opening of the fish is Guybrush blowing?

(comedic deadpan) I don’t understand the controversy.
Is the controversy that they spoilered a puzzle solution for us? Now we know that the solution to this puzzle is to blow into the puffer fish’s… opposite side?
We’ll only know how big the controversy is once the UI is known. I cannot imagine they’ve added different verbs for blowing into either side or the ability to freely rotate each inventory object to get the same result.
I can imagine that.

We don’t even know if that’s a real pufferfish, it could be a balloon (in that case, that’s a bit of a spoiler in my opinion)

I’m not into burping contests. I don’t know why. It’s a kind of joke that doesn’t click with me. It’s like the spitting contest of MI2, but worse. But I’m sure the game will have a lot of more memorable moments!

This fish invasion really is puzzling. It can’t be a curse, it can’t be a mania. What can it be? is it only in Melee or in Brrmuda too?
Somehow we’ll have to tamper with a blowfish. Or maybe find a blowfish that burps by itself?

Hopefully it will have a big neon sign pointing out that it’s the secret and when you hover the cursor over it, it will say “The Secret of Monkey Island”.
