I gotta be honest here, both Mario Maker and Splatoon are games that have huge potential to be awesome but that, at the same time, I'm awfully worried about. What they've shown so far looks good, but unless they expand hugely on that it'll only end in disappointment Splatoon, in particular, will need a lot of variety in level design and setting, character looks/customisation (while the basic character design looks great, they all look kinda same-ish to me), game modes, weapons, and so on. It needs like, night time and underground levels with neon glow-in-the-dark paint, a variety of game modes (like for example, a domination or ctf mode where you have to/can prevent your opponents from reaching objectives/flags by blocking their path with your own colour ink), customisation and styling options to individualize your character. And it definitely, definitely needs voice chat for team play. If they deliver on all what we imagine for the game right now, it could turn out as one of the best multiplayer/arena shooters ever created, but there's so many ways for it to go wrong.

I'm liking all of those ideas. I feel like I should be sending Nintendo an email with ideas. I wonder if they even read those kinds of things. :ohdear:

I wouldn't even ask if it was Sony or Microsoft.

Night levels with glowing paint sounds awesome. Perhaps some zero gravity levels would be interesting? You'd be propelling yourself around the level by spraying paint while also hitting the environment. Spraying other people pushes them away. You can also travel through the paint like normal. I'm imagining a team pulling off some crazy maneuver where they line up and spray each other in the back so the person in front is propelled exponentially further and right into the other enemies before they're prepared.

And of course it turns out my wii-u pad charger was damaged when my computer room took on water so now that's dead.

Well the couple hours I got was fun as hell, now to get a new charger.

You live in Texas?

I just found out my delivery was delayed until Monday because of weather-related reasons. :smithicide:

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.

Team Cat will have it's revenge.

You can avoid this bug by disabling auto-connect for wifi.
