Seriously a joycon in each hand makes gyro aiming much easier for people in Splatoon 2

Is this the only game mode for retail, or will there be more?

I wanted to try out joycon mode but all I get is communication errors partway through a game.

"Being able to hold your hands still like a normal human being." Wow. Sorry, you must never have heard of Parkinson's, MS? Muscular dystrophy? Just hold your hands still, you non-human. Or you don't get to participate in video games. Nintendo has actually done a really respectable job of ensuring that players who may not be able to interact with a game in a specific way can still enjoy it through other control schemes without detriment to the community. The Switch is the first console since the original launch Wii that I have seen a whole group of people come around and play. It's awesome. Your attitude is not.

I wasn't being sarcastic. I was calling it out as ableist.

Huh. Turns out I won like 80% and was often the top score on my team. Consider me a motion controls convert.

I dropped my sensitivity on tilt to -1 and did SIGNIFICANTLY better. This was the hour where it finally clicked for me.

I was also becoming really mobile w/ dualies, learning to stick back and stealth strike people. Combined with the hockey puck bomb that glides in a line, it was loving great. Want more of that!

I definitely need practice but it seems the dualies are my best shot because they are similar mindset to playing Tracer in Overwatch. Paint roller is really foreign to me and I'm awful at splatting people with it, and the expert gap is pretty large for me since I don't really play controller shooters, and the gyro controls are different in Zelda. If I could get some single player experience to get the controls down pat I think I'll really enjoy this, since before I only got to try it a few times on the Wii U at a friend's place.

Super excited though, this shooter is really something and with some time I think I'll really love it.

I really like dualies though, once I learned to roll properly you can really deny people kills on you and get away without needing ink superiority.

Is it ableist that a game meant to pit your dexterity against other people might not work out too well against people whose hand dexterity is completely shot (regardless of its reasons)?

That hour, I had some of my best ever matches in a shooter, and I'm usually pretty mediocre at them. This is the first time where I'm somewhat bummed to go back to Zelda (that'll pass in like 3 minutes, tops). Splatoon 2 is a tremendously fun game.

They're lulling people into a false sense of security. That's right, duck behind that wall, where you're perfectly safe. For now.

To whoever was having trouble resetting the zero point in handheld mode:

We were both partially right. You can reset the zero point for the y axis, but only within a limited range. So if you have it pointing too high up or down, it won't fully reset. The range is decently far, I think it still reset properly for me at about or almost holding the Switch vertical, but if you were trying to do a higher angle than that it looks like it doesn't work at all.

Yeah same, I was having some really positive k/d games, best was 7/1 with dualies. But boy howdy, when you get a really good player that played Splatoon, I get outclassed HARD.

No way they don't include a single player, I legit need shooting practice because of how different this game is from normal shooters to play.

And yeah single player is confirmed, it's set two years after the first campaign.
