From what I saw, you probably really want to shoot when you're walking on enemy ink because it makes you slow and might even hurt you, so you want to get to your own ink as fast as possible, so making your own would be a gut reaction. Internet Kraken posted:The style of the game is really weird to me. Its odd to see a Nintendo game that's so...urban? I can't really describe it. Just something about seeing every character wearing modern clothes and moving through a city environment doesn't seem like the kind of designs they usually aim for. But maybe that's part of the point. It just doesn't really appeal to me so I can't help but be bothered by it. Miyamoto's trainees said that when they came up with the concept of squids covering battlefields with ink, that they thought of urban locations since the concept sounded so much like doing graffiti.

Countblanc posted:I'm pretty sure the game kills you after a single hit, regardless of the weapon. The reason to use a paint roller over a sniper rifle or whatever (mechanically, at least) is because it's huge and always active, unlike the guns which hit a pretty narrow range in front of you.

That was so much fun! Played the roller the whole time and had a blast, though at one point at the Splatsray Rig i was trying to deal with a guy on top of a ton of crates and yeah, soon as things get vertical you're doomed (ended up throwing a grenade thingy at him, which got him off to the floor but he still inked me as i tried to get up close) Best bits were winning by .3% one time and having a sitcom chase at the south rectangle of Splatsray Rig where I was using my roller to cover up enemy ink while the enemy was there and once we realized this we ran around in circles around a crate there a few times before an ally with a roller of his own joined this scooby doo run in circles so two laps later i turn so he'll chase me while my buddy easily catches up and inks him. God I wish I could show that moment!

chumbler posted:I hope they have some night stages planned, because the place being lit up by bioluminescent squids and fluorescent paint would look so good. Why is Nintendo the only company that seems to remember what both color and art direction are at the same time? I think that nighttime stages are activated when you got the vote stuff going. In the direct it showed that once the plaza transforms to let you choose wrong or choose #teamcat the regular stages were also suddenly at night and with fireworks going off.

I think that as the game goes on they'll experiment with other modes. Wouldn't be surprised if by this time next year there's three more modes for the non-ranked stuff and five or so on the ranked stuff. They obviously got some stuff in the pipeline, I'd like to think that they'll use what people post on miiverse to think up ideas for new modes.

Zaphod42 posted:Each has a series of missions where you have to do something, and beating all of them unlocks a new arcade game and the outfit. Thing to note is that the missions are just "do this singleplayer level with this weapon instead" i think girl amiibo makes them charger, boy amiibo is roller and squid amiibo is limited ink and KRAKEN.

mabels big day posted:its sold out Still up for pre-order to me. Had to cancel my order a few weeks ago for bank issues and I'm glad of it. Wanna support Splatoon and all, but spending over half the price of another game when Xenoblade X and Yoshi's Woolly World are coming up just doesn't make sense, specially since it's only the lightest of level remixes they'll unlock.

Clearly this is a hint at other control options for Zelda U. We'll have to buy the Nintendo Control Strap and tie a wiimote plus to the pro controller for co-op. Two gamepads is still too much.

Cialis Railman posted:Of course they loving were. loving scalpers. They were on for several weeks, actually. The three-pack goes back on sale every now and then on Walmart, so you should just keep an eye on the amiibo thread and you'll be able to get them no problem. Amazon still hasn't put them up for sale, so that'll be an option too.

Zaphod42 posted:Yeah the bombchus are one of the secondary weapons I've been looking forward to the most. After playing the demo I gotta agree with this. I'd imagine that custom loadouts would lead to roller+inkchu+shield with some reduced time to charge the shield thanks to the gear and just make an unstoppable tank.

However, in the last 5 you unlock, [BIG-rear end SPOILERS, SERIOUSLY] it reveals that rising water levels wiped out all land-dwelling creatures on Earth long ago, which you probably already figured out from the Wii U scroll. The last two reveal that Judd is the last living Earth mammal who was cryogenically frozen from current day. loving Nintendo, goddamn. gently caress yes

ambient robot posted:Couldn't get used to the motion controls with the time I had. I won pretty much all of my games and was in the top 2 on my teams, regardless. Teaching myself to watch the gamepad is harder than I thought it'd be. Also, I think I might be one of the few people that doesn't like playing roller. I think I see what you mean, I loved the hell out of the roller in the first testfire, then tried the splatter shot jr. in the third one, this time i started off with the roller for two matches but it's just too slow. Splatter Shot Jr. is the speed.

I have young cousins (ten and five) that don't really know much Nintendo and came to visit this weekend, when one of them saw the Splatoon icon on the gamepad he got excited and asked if we could play "that cool game they show on tv" so that was cool. Then I tried and failed to explain the concept of digital pre-purchase and preload to him.
