There's actually a bug right now with wifi that causes stutters across all games. Hopefully Nintendo pushes out the system update that fixes it before this goes live.

If you don't already have a Lan adapter for your wii/Wii u/switch then what are you doing??

It has nothing to do with Splatoon but they mentioned the Mario Kart port will also allow for wired LAN play.

Are they rare now? I knew I'd regret not picking one up when I saw a wall of them at Walmart.

Does the Switch use the same LAN adapter the Wii U used? If so, that'll save me $20. :v:

Yeah, the Wii/WiiU LAN adapter is just a branded generic adapter, so the Switch supports that and pretty much any other one.

There should be a big ol' news update pointing you toward it. Nintendo wants to push Splat2 hard.

I'm loaded and now on tenterhooks waiting.

How much difference do abilities make anyway? I've mainly been wearing clothes that I like the look of and haven't really been paying much attention to the abilities (the ones I've been getting seem fine). Oh and any tips for someone who is really into the brush? I got this with my Wii U when I got it on ebay and it's really fun, despite me fighting against level 50s with 4 ability gear (not sure how much of an edge it gives them).

They do add up, so paying them some attention is helpful. One thing I do with tower control is use sticky bombs and a loadout that lets me keep one on the tower nearly 100% of the time between sub ink use down and ink recovery up. Depends a lot on your style, maps, and mode.

Nintendo is banking on Splatoon 2 so much, they're advertising the "Testfire".

Come with me if you want to not die.
I mean, it's one of the three big anchor games for the Switch (along with BotW and SMO), makes sense that they'd be pushing it pretty hard. Especially in Japan, where Zelda isn't as big a thing.

You can't have a stress test without stress. That's the point of fixing up specific playtimes. They'd better advertise it since general players aren't the kind of people who follow beta access.

There's six windows at least, most people should be able to get to at least a couple of them.

How are people planning on playing this? Joycons split, together, pro, mobile? I'm expecting Joycons split to be best for me, I noticed even during Zelda that it was easier for me to aim the bow that way.
