[LordKano]

How surprising.

 

[Seik]

Aaaaw yeah!

My body is ready!

 

[SMD]

That's 6th of July if you were initially confused like me.

 

[RRockman]

Let it begin

 

[Geg]

YEE

 

[Jim_Cacher]

Splatoon is my favorite game on Wii U.

Let's goooooooooooooo

 

[Roguey1Kenobi]

Good stuff!

 

[Dark Cloud]

I knew we would get a Splatoon 2 Direct.

 

[Deku89]

Testfire, here we come.

I don't know if the game is too far away or so close to release.

 

[Chauzu]

Expected! Great to get more info before release. I am specifically interested in online ones.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Japan aint ready.

 

[ramparter]

lol and I was just reading before in another thread that its too soon for another direct

 

[Fix-It Felix. Jr.]

I'll be at work, as usual. Looking forward to watching the vod, though.

 

[kulapik]

What else is there to announce? We know about Salmon Run, the story mode, and the basics of the game... Maybe how Splatfests will work around this time now that Callie and Marie aren't around as much? And probably a new testfire

 

[Jintor]

awww yis

waiting for cheesemaster international times

 

[Ridley327]

Considering how close we are to release, I hope they finally show off the interface for the Miiverse replacement. I'm sure it's rather similar, but Splatoon ain't Splatoon without all those messages and drawings in the hub.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Splatoon 2 only?

 

[Geg]

Splatoon 2 Japanese twitter just tweeted it too: https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/881876295801421825

Almost 2K retweets in two minutes lol

 

[CharminUltra]

Aw yiss, I'm ready.

 

[BitStyle]

Been waiting for this!

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

This is it, Nintendo. Your last chance. Can you sell me on the game? Put on a show, wow me, shock me, dazzle me. But just make sure that when it's all over, you've done enough... enough to make me pre-order. Last chance saloon, what's that? Sounds like the station has begun to ring.

I kind of thought Salmon Run was the replacement for splatfests. I'm curious to see how they'll work if they're included.

 

[Zalman]

I still don't know if I'm a kid or a squid. Hopefully this Direct will help me find an answer.

Lots, honestly. They've only announced one new weapon type so far, and I'm anticipating there are several. We could get lots of details on mode rotations, how you unlock ranked mode, what maps/weapons are available at launch, future DLC schedules, Splatfest/Salmon Run schedules, etc. There was a TON of information in the Splatoon 1 Direct, so this will be a hell of an info dump I imagine.

Wth
Is this some new meme?

 

[RRockman]

So I'm pretty sure we're getting another testfire this week. What else do you guys think they'll announce?

 

[Piers]

Splatoon 2 only?

I want more announcements of games that are only now just starting production.

 

[Soul of the Beast]

How surprising.

First post failed us.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

There we go.

 

[backlot]

They have to announce new weapons now, right? The only new one we've seen so far is the Dualies.

 

[Jim_Cacher]

I kind of thought Salmon Run was the replacement for splatfests. I'm curious to see how they'll work if they're included.

Salmon Run is not a replacement of Splatfest, no?

 

[Megatron]

Hmmm.... will Platinum's Bayonetta tease also get mentioned during this....?

 

[Geg]

Salmon Run is not a replacement of Splatfest, no?

Nintendo reps were asked about Splatfests at E3 and just said they couldn't comment at this time, so I'm sure there will be something

 

[Rock And Roll]

Testfire please! I'm going to miss the initial release of the game due to being on vacation, I want to get some play time in.

 

[LordKano]

Just thought about it but :
January : Switch presentation
February : Fire Emblem Direct + Nindies Showcase
March : nothing
April : Nintendo Direct
May : ARMS Direct
June : Pokémon Direct + Nintendo Spotlight
July : Splatoon 2 Direct

That's more than one "direct" a month since Switch's reveal.

 

[BitStyle]

A second testfire would be great

 

[IronicSonic]

I want to know what new surprises has Nintendo in his pocket. After E3 I think I know everything about it :O

 

[Jim_Cacher]

Thanks, hopefully we can get confirmation from the Direct!

 

[peppermints]

Hoping for an announcement of a US Switch+game bundle.

 

[Not75Drops]

Salmon Run is not a replacement of Splatfest, no?

Salmon Run is only available at certain times when online, but it's more frequent than Splatfests. That's why I thought it was a replacement.

I thought it is a staple mode. Thanks for the clarification.

 

[Mr. Hyde]

I have this preordered. I am still hesitant on spending more money on games but I really enjoyed the original and the idea of multiplayer on portable means I will play it far more than the first.

 

[valkillmore]

I'll probably watch this and I don't own a Switch and don't plan on getting one this year, nor have I ever played Splatoon.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Snap, crackle and pop

 

[PadWarrior]

So I'm pretty sure we're getting another testfire this week. What else do you guys think they'll announce?

Hmm I'd be ok with this.

 

[BitStyle]

I'll be pissed if splat-fests aren't returning. Hopefully we'll hear about them in this direct

 

[Waji]

Switch Direct weeks are the best weeks.

 

[NotLiquid]

Ink me up fam

 

[DNAbro]

Give me the Splatfest deets.
Show me new stages.
New weapons.
As much freshness as physically possible.
