Ice cream cake is like 80% ice cream, 20% gross pseudo-cake. It doesn't count.

Also you're all mad, cake is best.

The picture is of a cup cake. The worst form of cake. Clearly cake is the wrong choice.

i'll stick to my principle of losing every Splatfest because I actually pick what I like

The simple facts:

Cake is better with ice cream

Ice cream is just as good with or without cake

Therefore - Ice cream is clearly superior.

Ice cream is also better with cake, though. Because then you can chop the cake up and mix it with the ice cream and just have a great time.

Honestly, I think each of them is improved by the other. But if I have to choose, it's cake or death.

You can eat cake all year long.

Ice cream in winter? Uhh, if you're into it, I guess. But there's no Christmas ice cream.

Ergo, cake would be my choice. Too bad I'm waiting for my Splatoon bundle...

I won't know if I like Pearl or Marina better until I've played enough to get a feel for their actual personalities, but design-wise I like Marina a bit better.

its cool that they made the new squid idol duo into a sort of MC and DJ thing, that's going to make for some awesome music. Say what you will about Pearl but she's got talent.

Did the Splatoon 2 Moray towers have the ink railing in previous videos? Either way seems like a nice change if it gets you to a good position vs snipers.

On a more constructive point, has there been any actual figures for splatoon? Nenoroids, Figma, that sort?

There are World of Nintendo figures in stores for Inkling Boy and Girl. I have the Inkling Girl figure, which here is a picture of her in scale with some Marvel Legends and Star Wars Black figures.

Nintendo use POC as shorthand for 'exotic' a bunch but who knows if it's deliberate or malicious/thoughtness.

Either way the game looks dope as gently caress and I can't wait.

Yes it did. Something new they did show was the sponge cubes added to Port Mackerel. If they're gonna add more single player stuff to old maps, those teleporting beacon things they showed briefly in the new singleplayer looked really cool.

Not sure, but if the single player mode has her do a heel turn, it would be...unfortunate.

That is what I am hoping for.

Yay, managed to get ahold of a Switch today, just in time to guarantee Splatoon 2 at launch! :dance:

Hadn't been actively keeping up on development as much this time around, outside of the Switch/E3 presentations and whatever direct they announced Salmon Run at, since I wasn't expecting to have one at launch. Anything else of note outside of those and today's Direct?

Yeah, I don't think the hosts should be representative of a side if it means everyone will always just pick the non-brat option!

But enough about Callie and Marie, what about the new idols?
