There's still time for them to polish the graphics right? I think that's the main thing that's putting me off most about this game. It looks like a really really shiny PS2 game in all the worst ways.

I see you've avoided watching either trailer and any moving footage at all, especially at the landscapes and backgrounds, and focused entirely on the inklings on the results screen where they have weird hosed up teeth because they're squids and clipping because they're customizable.

You don't remember what PS2 games looked like.

No actually, the faces in general in all the footage I see look really off to me and there's a ton of clipping issues (the picture shown has her hair... tentacle thing going into her arm for example and her eyes look like decals more then anything)

It's not a very pretty game.

Edit: If they were to make a HD re-release of Klonoa 2, a early PS2 game I'd compare it to that really.

You're getting awfully defensive over someone saying they don't think the game looks to hot buddy. I think you might need to take a step back.

I hope the girl amiibo is the one that unlocks the schoolgirl outfit because if I need the squid amiibo I'm going to be extremely perturbed.


Splitscreen hasn't been possible with modern shooters in forever, dude. The framerate goes to complete poo poo and the Wii U isn't exactly a powerhouse to begin with.

It is, Girl amiibo unlocks the schoolgirl outfit, Squid unlocks the robot(?) armor, and Boy unlocks the samurai armor.

Every match I had that session I was 1000+ with the splattershot jr. My death limit never went over 1 or 2 either :buddy:

Best was 1300 points and 10-0. I think the ratio was like 70% to 8%

Am I the only one who got kind of hungry after some of the matches? The stages end up looking like strange bars of colorful taffy.

I'm pretty sure that would be considered a war-crime in the splatoon universe.

It's a entire game where you label people who aren't your color "bad guys". The Inklings aren't very moral to begin with.

They seem to have matching weapons, but I don't know if that from the amiibo or from the weapon shop.




The roller is the story mode roller so doubt it's tied to the amiibo.

Everything is a stage play anyway, Mario 3 already proved it. Why the hell do you think Bowser let's his son get in on this. Every time Mario loses it's like a actor forgetting his lines and having to do a reshoot.

Game overs are when the guy filming says gently caress it and walks out of the studio.

Just chiming in to say that Wonderful 101 is still the only game to make good use of the gamepad for very very obvious reasons and as good as splatoon is a map and quick jump thing isn't even close.

Small thing that I like about Judd is if you're on the losing team when he announces the results not only does he go wide eyed but he just drops the flag with no sound. I didn't see it much when I was playing due to being on the winning side all the time but watching videos has been fun.

Excited to see all the little animation quirks everything has.

I picked this game up on the way home, thinking i could probably clear out the singleplayer before the multiplayer went online. Turns out it already was online so I jumped into turf war and never looked back. Game's a blast, even though I can't seem to do anything with the paint roller except be splatted all over the stage.

Two things
1: When you flick the paint (don't hold it down) you reflect fire back at people
2: Jump a lot. Jump a whole lot. Enemies can jump over the roller otherwise and that's no good.

As a aside the top one right now it's what's currently in rotation. You can see weapons rise and fall live, like earlier it was a splattershot, jr, and a roller- switched to 3 jr's and now it's changing again.

Reminder that the top of the screen shows who's winning the current turf war. Danger means you're getting curbstomped, bigger your squids more you're leading by.
