Reposting the direct in case anybody missed it: http://www.twitch.tv/nintendouk/v/4781129

It doesn't start until like 30 minutes in but it really details how the game works and all its modes.

There's a good bit more depth to the game than I figured.

looks like you have to pick from loadouts so you can't just fully customize your weapons. Kinda like TF2's classes but a little less niche.


or you could just watch it on Nintendo's Youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQsZPYB0vMw

Could someone explain exactly what the Amiibos do in this game? Didn't watch the presentation and don't want to scrub through the Direct to find it.

They unlock bonus mission that focus on the other weapons that not the normal gun. They also unlock customs clothing that you can only get from the 3 Amiibo.

Yesss, four rollers, the dream team. We lost but it was funny.

Had 3 rollers and a sniper. I was the ninja roller, one was front line roller, and the other was patrol roller. The Sniper keep saving me when I run out of paint. Sniper who ever you are thanks for splatting those 4 squids.

Best way to win in the last 10 sec is to follow a Roller with a Roller. They are to busy to notice that your behind them and when the run out of ink or turn than splat them.

Things I have learn in round 2

Japan seem to have learn to pair up when going against a roller. They as seem to be in to the roller a lot more then the people last night. (most of my matches after 30 mins were 6-7 rollers 1-2 guns. Guess they don't play much shooter games.) They also seem to love the voice commands.(How do you use it? Couldn't find it when I was playing.) Good thing there is no voice chat or else I would be get a language that I don't understand.

Taping the ZR helps you paint walls, hit people from a far and good for sniping people when on high ground. Also when 2 or more people gang up on you and your a roller, don't roll, just tap and splash. You will usual get them both. When head to head with another roller, turn and hit them from the side or splash them.
The Roller's sub is a lot better when you use it to scare people to move and can be tossed really high.(got a bunch of chargers on the high ground with it. ) Also planting them behind people seem to be the most effective. Lastly dive in to ink when you use the sub because it leave you with less the 10% ink.

The normal gun is good but I suck at it,
Need to learn to aim with charger,
Shooting rollers at the feet seems to be effective at slowing them down,
And a team full of roller seems to work out fine some how.

HELP ME, I'M WAY TOO INTO THIS GAME.

The most satisfying thing is Paint rolling behind an enemy paint roller. Covers there work and gets them in the end when they run out of ink.

What were the Amiibo rewards? Boy gets samurai outfit, girl gets schoolgirl outfit, squid gets robosuit. And a new arcade game each. Was that it? Or were there weapons too? Or more stuff?

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

I think I made a lasting impression on people with my roller technique. Go where no roller has gone before. I was painting the top of box and charger points with the roller, the next match everyone started doing it, made it easier for me to go paint other things.

Also a Team full of roller beat a team full of Splattershot Jr.

I was up against four rollers for one round. Cue the deep strategy of "walk backwards while shooting as the roller desperately tries to run me over."

I learned that if your fighting head like that, stop rolling and start shaking because by the time they notice their hitting nothing but ground, SPLAT and their gone.

It also fun to stick Suction Bombs behind people and get them to walk backward into it.

Weird to see it be done with the splat roller but the splat charger seems to be more effective when you stay in one general area and cover for people while they paint the turf. Also getting to a new spot in the same area when you have been spotted seems to help too. Like having a splat charger stay an protect the big area on the Saltspray Rig while on top of any of the boxes or that moving platform.

Probably the fact that you can only use one, and that it increased the price of the console by a big amount. Its a huge boon, but I can see why it'd make some people leery.

Now if they let you sync up multiple and let us play Four Swords Adventures 2? Then it'd be perfect.

Couldn't they just use 3 3DS and one Gamepad for Four Swords Adventure 2.
