They mentioned something like the super weapons spawn in the map, and only if you control a significant majority of the ink color in a certain region. So there'll be like a sniper spawn room, and whoever gets that room to 75% their color gets the weapon, something like that. The details are pretty sketchy.

From the second Treehouse exclusive, you select your own super weapon at the beginning of the match and have to charge it up by taking territory. So you can determine from the jump what kind of "role" you want to play (attack, support, etc)

Yellow is obviously the correct color.

Walmart's website has the 3-pack amiibo for MSRP ($35) with free shipping, though it won't arrive until the first week of June.

Still, better a week late than paying out the rear end.

Anyone else have wild Splatoon dreams from playing right before bed? My girlfriend and I both woke up after a night of painting wild landscapes. Something about those colors just coats the brain.

Oh thank god I don't have to be the only one to admit this.

The Zelda games are like films in which Link, Zelda and Ganon are actors and outside of the game they are actually good friends.

Isn't that basically what happened in Super Mario Galaxy?

After you beat the game, everyone just kinda stands around and looks at each other like "Well, yeah, I guess we just did that again."

I doubt any Youtube personalities even made Splatoon videos, since Nintendo is taking their money away from their art. Commercials on Nintendo's channel have a lot of dislikes, especially the "Squid Kid" one. I'm assuming it's because hardcore gamers don't like when commercials aimed at children call them children, or something like that.

Speaking as a YouTube personality whose editors are so inept that they couldn't even get a review copy when Nintendo was throwing them at literally anyone who asked, I don't have much to say.

Feels awful. Granted, judging from Kotaku's stream, matchmaking can be kind of a pain with so few copies out there. At least 20 minutes of their hour-long stream on Monday was spent just waiting in lobbies.

Oh well. It's not like I'm not going to binge through the entire single-player in one night, fueled by every different color of Red Bull I can find.

Nah that's a cop-out. If they wanted to they could add a pop-up map on the TV and let you select with a cursor or something. I'm not having any of this "it requires a touch screen!" bullshit.

It is what it is but if they wanted to they could absolutely make the game work on a pro controller. Its just typical Nintendo narrow-mindedness. "This is the best way to play! Everybody should play this way! Why wouldn't you?"

Nintendo posted:

Folks, I've got a great idea. Let's create a new paradigm by putting a screen on the player's controller, and then NEVER USE IT.
