EAD.
Same here! The irony is that this is a brand new IP yet I have those same feelings towards the game wich is awesome! The game just screams pure classic videogame fun and crazy no-sense characters that you can't help but love them. Since this game is made by the youngest developers at Nintendo, I'm sure they wanted to express that feeling with this game since they grow up precisely during the 90s wich was filled with tons of crazy cartoon shows and videogames.
Like that summer camp at the lake level? Exploring an industrial site with friends? It does draw childhood memories out of me. Like transforming a grown-up's world into a playground
Seems like the type of game that'd be released in Gen 6, which is great because I love that gen. Though Wii U's library in general has given off a very Gamecube-esque vibe IMO.
I wouldn't be surprised if she's the first character revealed for Smash 5.
Pls not DLC for 4

It's by EAD 2, the same group that does Animal Crossing, Nintendo Land, and Wii Sports. Directors are Tsubasa Sakaguchi, this is is first directing project, but he's worked on NSMBWii and Nintendo Land, and Yusuke Amano, who previously directed NSMB2. Lead programmer is Shinataro Sato, who's worked on NSMBU and Wii Music. Most of these people are working in leading positions on a project for the first time.
Yes. This is a great way of putting it. It feels like the love child of a Nintendo team and a Sega team.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Gorgeous, but yes.
Game wishes it had the image quality and clarity of this.
Got to play the game for the first time at PAX AU, if ever so briefly, and had a great time.

No, looking at the other images, it seems the multiplayer Inklings can have mismatching eyes and hair too. Still think she's an important character, though, maybe some kind of anti-hero.

Given the newest trailer i think clothes, skin color, gender and hair color are highly customizable. Amiibo unlockables should be a given, maybe some paid cosmetic stuff as well.
thanks for sharing, that's pretty interesting.
Do you magically have insights into Nintendo's next game by chance? 0_0
I think so too.

Single player looks so good! Honestly, you could just give me that and I would totally buy Splatoon. Looks really inventive.

It would actually be a very nice F2P Game with drops and sets like Dota. Iwata mentioning a retail release makes this unfortunatley very unlikely.
No, I'm glad it's not F2P, those games always find a way to rob your money.
So what do people figure, will there be any way to play 8 player offline? The multiplayer looks like so much fun but console, and especially Nintendo online communities die off so fast. Then the servers get taken down.
My ideal would be if Nintendo allowed a Wii U LAN, but there's no way they'd do that, is there?

Well they pulled it off at E3... maybe they include it via the Lan adapter if there is enough noise on the net demanding it.
Okay...I'm interested.
How do you describe this music? I like it.
Quoting myself from Twitter:
Let's hope they figure a way to do online co-op by the time it will release.

No way for LAN.
As for multiplayer the news at E3 was just planned to do a 2-player mode with one person on the Gamepad and one with a Pro Controller. A hunter mode.
Splatoon would work really well in split-screen considering the main objective is to paint objects which decreases the issue of seeing everyone else's screens.
At the same time a 4-player split-screen version of Splatoon would run horribly. To even get to 30 fps they would have to make sure to graphically downgrade everything and probably limit how fast the ink can be shot.
I really wish they would though. I have BLOPS II for shooter multiplayer but I'll love a wackier option. It'll be the perfect compliment to Smash and Mario Kart in terms of competitive local multiplayer games.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Beyond that there seems to be real octopus people like the inklings, so the tentacle enemies might just be broken off pieces from the octogirls
So Octopus propaganda includes their own take on Adam and Eve.
Weird.

This is one of my most anticipated titles. I looks incredibly fun. I had hoped it would be out sooner than Q2 though.

I'd say so, they had a 'reveal' for her in the trailer.
Sweet!! I hope they reveal her name soon.
Huh. I guess that means any of those tentacle creatures throughout the game could be either a male or female, seeing as the only difference there is the eyelid colour.
They will be referred to as "he" in the manual though, won't they dangit!

I was already pretty sold on this as multiplayer, but single-player looks really good. Amazing artstyle, and part of me hopes if these a lot of story, it's told in the propaganda.
Wii U is really becoming my Dreamcast 2 (for better and worse).
I can't get that theme out of my head now.

It's 720p, but that screenshot has no jaggies whatsoever, perfect AA. Even though it was youtube, in the HQ video today, you could see some.

Nintendo bullshots every now and then, even if it's not usual. They did it on the Wii, too. The assets are accurate but the clarity likely isn't. As noted there's almost no aliasing, texture filtering is high quality, etc. All these things tend to take a hit on hardware like the Wii U (and then some), especially when targeting 60fps. Much like Mario Kart 8 I figure Nintendo wants the game to run smooth over looking smooth, which would explain the aliasing in playable builds.
Let's face it, this game doesn't seems to have the production values of MK8 so we shouldn't expect an incredible looking game. That said, it looks quite good to me with what
they have set to achieve, and what it is interesting to me now it's how they will flesh out the gameplay. This is where this game could be awesome.

The game looks fine to me. I barely notice MK8's jaggies when the game is whizzing by at 60 fps anyway. 60 fps (or a stable frame rate generally) is way more important than anti-aliasing or high quality texture filtering. As long as the game can render the essence of that shot, I'm fine.
Love the game's attitude, it feels so right.
Yeah, ever since Nintendo started with directs they seem to have forgotten about direct-feed video.

That was the feeling I got at the moment but I'm pretty sure now it will be in the game. At first it started as fun multiplayer shooter but this may become a really big thing for Ninty.

It does seem like they're fleshing out the world and I appreciate it because it makes it seem like they care about the game.

I don't think I'm exaggerating if I say this might be WiiU's GoldenEye.
