Drastic Actions posted:Here's a fun fact about the Miiverse: It's locked by region. Because I have a Japanese system, I can only see Japan posts, as it were. Even if I play with other region based goons, and they appear in my plaza, I won't see their Miiverse messages either (nor can they see mine, which is a blessing really). So I am (thankfully) not able to see those hilarious Squidward posts. Instead I get this. It's strangely comforting to know that regardless of nationality, we are united in our fondness for terrible puns about squid.

Like the Smash wave has been an ordeal in of itself but with the exception of the three-pack the boy and girl separately were available in large quantities over the weekend seemingly everywhere. And poo poo you wanna talk about supposedly rare ones, there's still silver Mario available at the stores.

BattleMaster posted:Squids are carnivores which probably explains the scary fangs that Inklings have. Really squids have beaks but if inklings had beaks they'd look horrible so I'm glad they went with the sharp teeth. It looks great and gives them a little wicked side. Help Im Alive posted:Apparently ranked battle, a new weapon and a stage called Port Mackerel are all out tomorrow. Already?! Oh hell yes. I wonder how the zapper handles as a weapon... And Port Mackerel was the map I was saying had tons of black tarps on it, look at that. That's pretty different.

The question with splatzones is it just gonna be like turf war limited to squares, (winner is determined by whoever has the most paint at the last second) or will it be more like Halo style KOTH where there's a timer counting down based on how much paint you have on the square?

Zapper looks like it's in the Splattershot Jr family, short range, high fire rate.

Anybody know if your stats from single player affect the amiibo challenges? I'm thinking mostly about the ink capacity. I know that your orbs/eggs/whatever carry over, which is nice. I might be able to max my stats for no reason

Is anyone else getting matched up with Japanese players non stop? I was in a room for about an hour and I was the only person with an English name. Is this because I own a Vita

Part of me feels like they are trickling content out so that there can be continued interest and so that the crowd who has already poopsocked to max level doesn't spoil all of the content in a weekend.

They still haven't said anything about what "rainmaker" game mode will be about, right?The Flying Milton posted:Part of me feels like they are trickling content out so that there can be continued interest and so that the crowd who has already poopsocked to max level doesn't spoil all of the content in a weekend. Yeah, seems like it may be a smart move. On the other hand these maps are getting really old already.

Continued interest is the exact reason they're doing it. Some people (including reviewers!) have assumed the maps aren't all done yet and they rushed the game out early, but that's obviously not true; two of the new maps are visibly finished in single-player, and a third drops tonight. It's purely a design choice.
