Amiibos going out to reviewers now I guess.
 
I'm still not very enthused about spraying a cube to make it expand into a platform for navigating, which then needs to be painted to squid slide up it. Not sure if that will become a burden through the single player stuff or if it'll be sparsely used.

The Direct made the sponges look more interesting than I expected since you have to deal with enemy fire that can make make it compress.

That sounds kind of annoying to me. Isn't it already enough that I have to expand the cube, spray a trailer of paint and slide up it? Now I've got to worry about enemies also undoing my work? Maybe it'll be a limited thing. I just want a solid 3D platformer.

Isn't awareness of what the enemies are doing part of almost every 3D platformer?

I think you are adding an extra step. The sponge is fully inked when it expands. You don't have to make a trail.

Was gonna say this, too. You make it needlessly complicated in your description. You shoot ink at the cube => it expands and is fully colored in your ink color after which you don't need to do anything else besides jump on/in it. Also, you make it sound like levels are made of these almost exclusively or something.

The video I watched the guy kept trying to add a trail of paint onto the expanded cube when it actually looked low enough to jump. It bothered me seeing him unsuccessfully try to make a complete trail.
 
That was great :) I liked that the player was pinging for allies very often when the shield was ready so that it could be shared among them too. I basically played a similar support role during the last testfires; once I had my shield ready, if I wasn't already fighting someone else, I would go find an ally and shield them with me so that we could both push.

「社長が訊く Splatoon」と題した記事が公開された。スーツの男性はたまに見かけるイカ研究者の一人、おそろいのTシャツを着ているのは以前に見たイカレシピの開発者たちだ。イカにしてイカが生まれたかを熱く語っている。実に興味深い内容だ。

Article entitled "president asks Splatoon" has been published. Man's suits once in a while you see one of the squid researchers, it's developers of Ikareshipi seen previously're wearing a matching T-shirt. It says hot or squid was born in the squid. It's really interesting content.

Vジャンプチャンネルで「スプラトゥーン」のプレイ映像が公開されているそうだ。 ザリパイ先生とゆかいな仲間たちが楽しげにイカと戯れている。 例のイカレシピ開発者の一人も出ているが……こいつ容赦ないな。 もう少し手加減してもいいものを。
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8lmAMA4jyM&feature=youtu.be

But total play the video of "Splatoon" in the V jump channel have been published. Zaripai teacher and pleasant friends are playing with squid with gusto. Examples are out also one of the Ikareshipi developers, but I no ...... guy pardon. Something good even if a little more hold back.

突然、一枚のイラストが送られてきた。 例のイカを描いたもののようだが……この"7"という数字は何だろう? 何かの前触れだろうか?

Suddenly, one of the illustrations have been sent. It's as those depicting the squid of examples, but would be what the numbers that ...... this "7"? Either would be a harbinger of something?

研究員による、ブキ立ち回り指南映像「わかばシューター」を公開した。 地面を塗ることは勝利に近づくだけでなく、あらゆる面で味方を有利にする。 塗り性能の高さを活かしてどんどんナワバリを広げよう。 試射会の参考にもしてもらいたい。

By researcher, he has published a weapon fighting teaching video "Wakaba shooter". That paint the ground is not only closer to victory, to favor the allies in all aspects. It grows more and more territory and taking advantage of the height of the coating performance. I want to also to reference of sighting meeting.
