Do any of the other console games have the equivalent of Splatoon's gyro control scheme? If not, then I sure hope as hell other devs follow Nintendo's lead in adopting it! Joystick aiming sucks serious salty takoyaki. :rimshot:

Nah but I can easily make one. Step in to my thread (and tell me whether you'd like a modified version of that or a whole new mage.)

I don't have a Wii U so I will never play this game but I'm reading up on the story and man this game has got the most mean-spirited story for such a cutesy thing to ever have a mean-spirited story for a cutesy thing. Good work, Nintendo, I approve.

I had a dream last night that I got splatoon and it turned out to be a racing game It wasn't what I was expecting but still kick rear end so I went into the next room to invite someone to play it and a friend was just sitting staring at a computer with a paper taped to the screen I asked them wtf they were doing and they just turn to me and go "silent hills is a really good gam" kinda like "there is no war in ba sing se" so I just closed the door and fell into a black hole

Meows are more annoying because they actually sound like the word meow, while a dog barking does not sound anything like the word bark. Everytime a cat meows, I heard the repetition of that word while a dog bark is just noise.

Never had a problem with a neighbors cat meowing all the time. Plus dog barks always sound like they want to kill you. Meows are actually sweet music in comparison.

Man, the Splatoon videos on YouTube have so many thumbs down. Did Nintendo piss off a bunch of angry nerds or something? I mean the songs aren't great but they're meant to be silly and stuff, so I don't know if that's the cause for >50% thumbs downs.

That aside, are there still no pre-order things beyond the GameStop SSB stuff? If not, that makes it easy; I just need to choose between digital and getting it at Target for a silly squirt gun.

Pokemon is an interesting comparison because it is also a video game series whose mechanics and story are built entirely upon terrible tragedies

I don't really have any games I would want to play on it. There's Smash Bros, and then this, and that's basically it. I haven't found anything to make it be worth the purchase to me yet. It does look like a fun game though even despite the ridiculous story. Do you think the squids have 'nam style war flashbacks?

I don't seem to browse the same youtube videos like you, since my videos have about 1% thumbs down. Are you sure it isn't more to do with stupid youtube personalities?

I doubt any Youtube personalities even made Splatoon videos, since Nintendo is taking their money away from their art. Commercials on Nintendo's channel have a lot of dislikes, especially the "Squid Kid" one. I'm assuming it's because hardcore gamers don't like when commercials aimed at children call them children, or something like that.

That's weird, because I'm a kid now. I'm a squid now. I'm a kid now.

Oh, yeah, I meant the commercials specifically; after I made that post I started watching the gameplay videos on Nintendo's channel and they were extremely highly-rated, so I guess people just really, really hate squid kid commercials.

Not sure why. Sure, it' s dumb, but hardly worth getting up in arms about. I guess it pissed off the right person to ensure a large number rail against it.
