Man oh man. This game has lit my imagination on fire. I was excited before because the mechanics and multiplayer looked really cool.
But seeing that single player footage just shot this game up to the top of my most anticipated list. I just really like that they seem to be taking every opportunity to let the mechanics shine. Since it's basically a traversal shooter it only makes sense to take that traversal to the next level with focused single player levels, enemies, bosses, etc.
The part with the rotating clock hand-like platform sort of sells it to me. I really can't wait for this game now.

Looks like a cross between sunshine, galaxy and portal. It looks like the single player campaign may consist of puzzle-liked challenges with interspersed battle segments.
Perhaps, but I guess I won't be finding out. My policy for these kinds of games is no IR no buy. I have no interest in any shooting game like this that doesn't use the remote.
Don't know if it was posted yet, but Nintendo Japan uploaded the trailer in 60fps

Seriously hyped for this, always thought the game looked cool but wasn't sure if it would have a SP component, now seeing this trailer it looks like the game was always meant to be a SP game.

Really like how the Octopuses (octopi?) look like Emo kids.

I was really hoping this game would have a single player outside of "bot matches." This footage does not disappoint. We may have a new AAA Nintendo hit on the horizon.
I got the name from pulling it out of my head. Nothing official about it, I just thought it made sense since the base enemies aren't full octopi, but rather single octopus tentacles. Take it all with a grain of salt
but selfishly I hope the nickname sticks
Octopus Obstacles?
that is amazing :O 1080p + 60fps is good like but I think I am actually liking the 720p + 60fps on Nintendo consoles over 1080 + 30fps

Calling it now. The Inklings and Octopodes have to join forces at the end to take on the Cuddlefish who threaten both of them.
Also the propaganda and the fact that in multiplayer the screen always says that YOUR side is the "good guys" and the opposing team is the "bad guys" I'm pretty sure the war is pretty morally grey.

I watched the single-player campaign trailer again, and it really looks like funky EAD fun. It actually reminds me of F-Zero X, wild comic book fun. The music, character designs, gameplay concepts, all look insane. But insane in a fun EAD way.

Didn't notice the totem poles and water underneath you in the forest arena. And it seems we'll be spraying in a skate park! I still haven't been to new one in my city.

I'm digging the weapon designs.

TV screens from the walls of the single-player mode level(s). I wonder if that's plot-relevant.
Well....your avatar is in there too lol

You know what? Those octopi look like Absolutely Disgusting. Since they can't swim and jump the way Inklings can in squid form, that's why they're so mad over being stuck in the campaign, unable to do MP.
I say yeah. for 720p 60fps, I would expect more jaggies in stills.
Still looks good though. I just think it's been touched up.
Lovin´ this guys already.

Looks like possible Game of the Generation material, much like Super Mario Galaxy (1+2) before it.

Like Emo Octopus Daleks

Emo octopi are really nice designs.
Yes, but I don't think that has anything to do with the gameplay. Seems like a little cameo just for the video.

I noticed it, Im hoping it is like a minigame segment in the single player campaign or something along those lines.

Nope. I had no interest in Wii U until I saw the Splatoon trailers, plus learning that Stealth Inc 2 was Wii U-exclusive

So it looks like that thing is definitely a boss. Wonder how that'll work?
I know you're joking, but they did actually show fully grown octopi in the trailer. They look just like emo squids.

Definitely. The YT trailer looked pretty damn jaggie in a lot of moments.
