Would it be possible for them to have paid DLC that isn't on the disc?

Mostly I just want new outfits, but I could see them doing level packs and stuff.

Level packs? How on earth would that work when you have map rotations?

Level Packs are pretty much the worst thing you can do in a fledgling online shooter because it fragments the playerbase. While Splatoon's sold really well, we don't know if that playerbase size will stay consistent in the long-term yet. The big-name titles like CoD, Battlefield and Halo can do it because even if only like 1/3 or 1/4 buy those map packs, it's still a really big number of players on either side of the equation.

Wouldn't surprise me if they offered a fourth matchmaking option for people with the DLC that offered a different rotation.

video games become a lot more fun when you stop worrying about what you own and don't own and what's on the disc and what you have to pay for and

just buy a video game with the content you want at the price you're comfortable with and just enjoy yourself

edit: I was on the fence about splatoon when it launched but I bought it because I wanted to play with friends and haven't regretted it. Got about 30 hours out of it so far. The slow rollout of already-on-the-disc-but-I-don't-give-a-poo poo content gives me an excuse to check in a couple times a week when otherwise I'd probably burn out in a couple weeks, but that's just me in a world where I only have so much time to dedicate to video games these days.

If unlocking on-disc content makes you mad then maybe cool down by blaming your C+ rank on disconnects and the Japanese.

Physical DLC that you can't even buy because none of the stores carry more than a handful of stock. I don't mind the content rollout, but amiibos are bullshit.

I would like to play those challenge stages :geno:

Amiibos are poo poo because even if you could actually buy them, it's 15~20$ for content that would be overpriced at 5 dollars.

NEWT THE MOON

I get mad when I can't just skip to the last boss in games. It's all on the disc! Why can't I play it the way I want? Why do I have to put up with hours of unfun busywork just to see the end? I can only judge a game's merits on the end boss, so I want to make sure I get to see it untainted by the rest of the dumb game.

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

I hope they add more music for the multiplayer modes. The 5 tracks packed in aren't bad, but I'm getting a little bored of them.

As a not-much-freetime-haver, I like that I can drop into Splatoon for an hour every few days and find fresh content without feeling swamped. It's a neat release strategy for an casual online-focused game.

The Luna Blaster weapon will be added to Splatoon today at 7 PM PT! What it lacks in range, it more than makes up for in fire rate and explosive impact. This blaster-type weapon is perfect for getting up close and personal. For far away foes, build up that special gauge and blast ‘em with an Inkzooka, or ruin their day with a surprise Ink Mine!

The primary value of the amiibo is the figurine itself. The game stuff is just a sweet extra. Until we get a Skylanders-esque amiibo-centric game, that it.
