Neeeed this gaaaame!
Hahaha, this is amazing
My god why isn't it the 29th yet
Lmao, you need to make a thread about this. What in the hell!?
Splatoon Single Player PSA: Mario Galaxy x Portal 2, but better
Any idea on the length of the single player? The scrolls screen in the Direct seemed to suggest about 28 levels IIRC.
Nintendo aims to put the colour back into the first-person shooter with Splatoon. Ewan goes hands-on with its multiplayer mode...
...Im back. So yeah, Splatoon is brilliant fun. What I found most striking about the game at first was its visual style. It has all the colour and cutesy charm of a Nintendo game, but in a lot of ways it feels and sounds more like one of those old PlayStation or Dreamcast games that youd spend all day playing on a Saturday afternoon with your friends. Theres more than a hint of say, Jet Set Radio about Splatoon. In fact, theres an indefinable 90s cartoon quality that permeates the entire games aesthetic, but to people of a certain age (such as myself) theres something infinitely comforting about that, like reminiscing with an old pal.
The fact that each game is so short simply adds to the chaos and fun. Respawns are speedy and painless, and matches always have a sense of fluidity to them. If Nintendo were trying to make an accessible and lightweight shooter, based on what Ive seen Id definitely say theyve succeeded. But despite the fact that you can pick up and play this game for five or ten minute bursts, theres an admirable level of depth. You can just blast through and make a mess, and youd still have a grand old time... You might even still win. But use the different weapon types properly, and work as a team, and youre likely to gain a strong advantage. Several of my teams were butchered by players who had clearly learned to communicate an effective plan of action.
That old pal/Jet Set Radio/90s references... speak to me so much <3The bottom line is that Splatoon seems like its gonna be tremendous amounts of fun to play, for a very long time indeed. Id happily shell out a little cash for the demo alone, so when the full game comes later this month with more modes, more weapons, and generally much more to do, youll find me locked in a room, screaming at the television because some 12 year old from France just blew me up with one of her giant ink bombs. I cant bloody wait.
Can you comment on length and difficulty? Did you die more than once? Or can you say anything about the 4chan post on 5-6 hours?

No no no, relax. It's the Portal 2 paint gun, not Portal 2. Splatoon is about controls and platforming, not puzzles.

Squid!Plushes!PLUSHES!
Due out July in Japan.
Download the #Splatoon Global Testfire software in the #WiiU #eShop to play some new multiplayer Turf War action on 5/23 from 3-4 p.m. PT!
Get your ink on!
YAYGet your ink on!
Loving that weapon.
I'm gonna order one of those cushions. Very cute.
都内のいたる駅で例のイカが増殖中との噂を聞きつけた。
You can't use the number of Japanese people appearing in the same lobby as yourselves during the Testfire as an indicator as to how well it will do sales wise in Japan.
I just want the squid for the armor wonder if you can use it online
Unfortunately that one is only sold in the triple bundle in the US. While in Europe it's only available as part of the collectors edition.
Yeah the costumes are usable online. I think the minigames are more important since you'll probably replace the costumes but the minigames van be played while waiting.
Squid has the best one as it's a rhythm game and music player for the songs.
Why is he calling it a first person shooter?
Get your ink on!
oh god that play, i'm in awe
You can't. It's SP-only.
They can't push up much farther. They have the win as long as they hold that position. What's the advantage of pushing up farther?Spent too much time going after other squids. Some cool skill shots, but they should be pushing up.

Taking that secondary chokepoint (off the first ramp) is far more effective to keeping people locked down to an area. Continuing a constant firefight in the center area is just a good way to let people get behind you and regain area. If anything, forcing the other team to react to their front door getting painted over is usually enough to confine fighting to their front yard opposed to the rest of the map.
I'd assume that's why the other maps are less straight forward when it comes to spawn points; so that doesn't happen too often.
Just wondering, what is that based on? Gamefront only says that this is the 10 most pre-ordered games in Japan stores in that week. I usually follow sales thread, so i'm curious where this data is taken from.Top 10 Pre-order Charts Japan (05.06. - 05.12.)

Looks like the testfire had some impact. It's happening! :>
No it isn't. Stop proliferating lies.
It's a normal multiplayer set of gear. You can't even use it in single player.
Yeah. There's footage of it in a recent Japanese teaser.does Splatfest take place at night?
I have seen night time skies for this event

Yeah, I got a bit excited and you caught me on my edit.It's just a one shot. It's not unlike the shorts for Kid Icarus.
The fact the manga ISN'T done by the Squid Girl mangaka was a missed opportunity.
Tried looking up Sankichi Hinodeya & all I found was that he did a Mega Man gag manga.
Ya'll should post this in manga gaf【宣伝】本日発売のコロコロ6月号に新作ゲーム、「スプラトゥーン」の読み切りマンガを描かせて頂きました!とじこみ別冊に入っています!よろしくお願いします! ゲームは5月28日に任天堂さんから発売です!もうすぐ!(^^)

Japan now has access to a new Splatoon manga. Its apparently a one-time feature included in CoroCoros June issue. How neat would this be to see on a regular basis?!
