DMZ'd the switch for now and instantly got out of the "looking for game" load screen, agreed that gyro aiming with the Y reset is going to take some getting used to

Welp I got into one game successfully.

For some reason gyro aiming with the pro controller feels kinda weird. Maybe its just becasue I'm more used to the Wii U tablet.

PSA: If you choose Exit after a round you can turn off motion controls in the options, as well as change inversion, sensitivity, etc.

I'm preordering this game now. As someone who sucks out loud at shooters, I was giggling in the office on my break.

I've never played Splatoon before but 20 minutes with this testfire has pretty much guaranteed that I will pre-order this. What a wonderful little shooter.

Splatoon 2 so good and the charger and roller changes are such a QoL improvement over what they were before

I saw someone hit me with a sniper rifle looking thing. The next time he lined it up, I squid-ed and popped up behind him and splatted him.

I get that they moved jump from X to B because it's closer to the stick with the Switch's controller configuration, but that didn't stop me from opening the map by accident quite a few times.

You now have alternate swing methods, giving you new attack options.

Jumping turns it vertical and makes it go further giving yoy a ranged game

If you jump and swing you get a narrow but longer vertical paint splash. In splatoon 2 if you encountered anyone outside of range you were pretty well hosed as a roller compared to just being at a disadvantaged with other weapons. Charger you can now hold your charge and move as a squid which is big since having to constantly recharge really made chargers subpar

Also new people you can SuperJump at any point from the map even after spawning in game and this can be a Big Help for a large push or grouping up against an enemy teammate

The screen shot function is garbage (at least in terms of the quality of the resulting picture), I thought this was well known.

It is right now but I wouldn't be surprised to see a physical release since it got one on other platforms.

Just FYI, I tweeted them about this and they said "We have no plans for it. We may consider it after we are done with all the other versions."

Edit:

This is what they said...

Digital only at this time. We might consider a physical release later down the road once all updates are complete.

Yeahhh but I got hooked on analog controls in the original... I will learn motion controls when the game is out for real but for now I'm keeping it off for the Testfire, otherwise I feel like I'd waste the test getting owned.

Sorry, guy.
New Nintendo owner here, my take on Splatoon TestFire is not very positive. I'm no stranger to multiplayer games, first person shooters, third person shooters, you name it. I do well, usually.

First off, gyro sucks. Take a hike. Secondly, can't make control changes until you quit out of a match. And then I found sensitivity was WAY too high (using Pro Controller, btw) so that's a round and then a backout every time I want to tweak it till I find something good.

I killed one person in like 6 games. I was insta-murdered every time anyone even looked in my direction. Time to Kill is insanely fast for a game like this. I tried painting areas but someone would just come up and merc me before I could even react.

I'm not seeing the appeal. I just don't understand how what I just played is considered good.

I'm not trolling or trying to be salty about it. As a new Nintendo owner, I was excited to check out the best of what I'd missed all these years. This felt... bad. :(
