Hey-o, my kid brother aced a test and I thought I'd grab him Splatoon. Turned out it's Wii-U exclusive, which he doesn't have.

Are there any indications that Splatoon will be ported to the Wii or PC?

The Wii doesn't have nearly the hardware grunt for it, and no - it's a first-party in-house Nintendo title.

Bugger. Guess I'll save up for Xmas then.

Bit of a pity, the kid goes through Game Boys like The Clap.

Wii is a long-dead product and it's Nintendo, when did Nintendo ever do PC ports?

Ease up, Jim. I've never owned a console, I don't know how these guys work.

Do you give him an old Gameboy or a 3DS? Because I'm not sure how he'd go through multiple 3DS units unless he was actively hitting them with rocks.

GBAs, last I recalled. I'm pretty sure he wasted two or more 3DS'. Lad's a little clumsy.

Check craigslist for Wii U's, I've seen some good deals on them locally just try not to get murdered and/or raped.

And yeah, there's 0 chance Splatoon will appear on PC or other consoles because Nintendo made it, and they only make games for their stuff unlike other companies who port everything everywhere. Splatoon is crazy worth it though, go for it. (And also Mario Kart 8, Wind Waker HD, Super Mario 3D World...)

Good advice, thanks!

Hahaha, I'm quite serious when I say it's for my kid brother. I'd like to get one for myself, but things are fairly tight as-is. Can't share either, kid's 300 km away.

I just thought that there'd be an enormous pooling of one candidate over another, and the devs would need to animate, script and roll out Callie/Marie balling her eyes out because she's the unpopular one.

Then she'd cut off all of her hair in apology to her fans and dehumanise herself on television to preserve(?) the brand Wait, wrong depressing idol scenario.

Is there a japanese splatfest? every name I'm seeing is english

This link lists all the Splatfests and a fair deal of the official art and fanart to do with it.

There's not an age restriction on the art, though, so :nws:. Might also wanna have adblocker up.

I'm halfway tempted to post all those punishment game comics in light on Naughty being chief, but they're pretty borderline NSFW.

Which is sad, because I'd love to see the Squid Sisters getting humiliated for backing the (clearly) wrong choices.

Jesus, Callie, that's one hella dangerous dress.

Anyway, the interesting thing about the Japanese Splatfests isn't so much the repeat, as much as that 6 out of the 8 Splatfests so far have all been food themed.

This, naturally, didn't escape the attention of the players there.



edit: For the not-weeaboo, Agent 3 is basically not bothering to vote because she's on a diet (due to the aforementioned constant fooding)
