Like it even better on my second (and third, and fourth, and fifth...) watch. The music is obviously awesome but the platforming sections looked genuinely great. Can't wait for this.

Even though it may not be him, the music does sound Naganuma-esque. Even if he isn't apart of the project, all will be good.
Those sections bumped this up to "Holy shit need this immediately" and I was already pretty excited. Cant wait to see what else they do with the traversal in the singleplayer

Seems to imply the Inklings first learn about invading mollusks and robots through pamphlets and other stylized print media. Nice touch.

I'm in love with the art, sound and just the concept that this game is built on. Really brilliant stuff. Fresh, unique, yet has that "why has no one done this before" feel to it.
I hope the actual game can deliver. Looks promising. I definitely think a puzzle-heavy single-player 'campaign' is a good choice.
Cartoons, toys.. Splatoon could turn into a huge franchise if Nintendo plays their cards right with it.

Did anyone catch the older Inkling/mollusk popping from the hatch, looking around dazed with a skipper's hat on? He's my new favorite. I'd buy the Amiibo version of him, although having the skin available for vanilla multiplayer would rock.
It sounds like him man. That style is hard to imitate.

Nah, you just to have listen to electronica, '90s dance music, and singles from Pizzicato Five and Cornelius to have a superficial understanding of the style.

Really though, what the fuck is up with the terrible compression on these videos.

Nice twist on the genre, Splatoon looks like a nice, innovative little game from NIntendo

Looks a lot like Portal 2, only with more leeway for fantastical elements. This is a good thing.

Just wait for the official Nintendo video, these are stream captures and archives.
These spherical Dyson Spheres will be so fun to scramble about. It's like peering into a world Psychonauts-style, but the enveloping skybox reminds me of the Flying Cap tower level from SM64.

That's the thing though, the video in the OP is official. It's artifact hell.

OP should link to this, looks significantly better in 60fps.

lol, Didn't even see this. Artifacts suck, who knows why NoA's own video has them.
Holy shit that's gorgeous!

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
I think this might be Nintendo's May release in 2015!
Looks dope!

Dayum! I didn't even know this game had a single player mode, much less one that looks so exhilarating and deep. This is only an online release, right? They should give it a discounted retail release too
It deserves it.

My only complaint for this game is...
Throw some AA on this bitch!

That's exactly what I'm thinking.
My heart needs more Hideki Naganuma.

Yeeaaaahhh... A lot of Wii U games could use that.
Oh my.
Someone needs to ask if it's him.
There is a chance.

Holy shit yes. All of this into my veins. It's even better than I was hoping.

I knew this game was Super Mario Sunshine + Team Fortress 2 but I wasn't sure how much mileage they would get out of the single-player mode, and competitive shooters don't excite me. Well, now I am sold. I am completely in Nintendo's pocket. One hour ago Splatoon was a mild curiosity I was monitoring from a distance. Now it's at the top of my Wii U shopping list for the first half of 2015.

Naganuma could easily organize and produce a remix album. He's busy with Hover atm, but I think Splatoon's producers are open to such an idea.

Oh it's retail? I thought I heard some people on here say it was just a digital only deal.
OK well that makes more sense then. Knew it looked too good to just be some $20-30 digital deal.
I don't know that songs sounds like a few people I have heard.
You ever hear of Prefuse73
