Well that's why there are so many Toads in Mario Color Splash, because they're the best.

This is a great deal, but it was making me wait six days past release to get it so nope

I'm excited for Splatoon 2.



But I'm also afraid I'm going to be bad at it.

Most Walmarts will probably have it on release date. I think that date they have listed is just taking shipping into account if the store doesn't have any in stock that day.

I hope they announce a few more Testfire dates before release tomorrow. I bet they'll finally show off the voice chat app during the Direct.

What's the worst that could happen? Maybe you get matched with other bad people. That doesn't seem too bad.

I'm buying this game digitally. That's usually not my thing, but I intend to play it for a long time so the digital version will keep me from having swap the cart out constantly.

Should there be a new thread for Splatoon 2? The OP is hopelessly out of date, anyway.

So, uh. First Splatfest is already next weekend. I knew I'd miss at least one Splat Fest. :negative:

But wowee, what a Direct. All those new abilities, weapons, maps... looks like a fresher, better Splatoon.

This is going to be an awfully one sided Splatfest, guys. Also, why hasn't Marina been executed on sight?

God drat this looks good.

The Switch being portable and having unlimited tethering means I'll never miss a Splatfest as well.:3:

Having options for different sensitivity for TV and handheld is perfect.
