i thought there were a bunch of really dumb design decisions in splatoon 1, so who knows if youll be able to change your weapon without going back to the main menu or w/e this time

synthy, what are you looking for in a shooter? i think splatoon is gonna be good stuff if youre looking for a focused, cheerful, intense arena shooter, but you would probably be disappointed if youre looking for a more open go-anywhere do-anything shooter with bigger map and team sizes

splatoon seems like a really good match with the Switch. it's cool being able to jump into a quick round or two while I'm waiting for water to boil or taking a break from something

Splatoon 1 had a bug where it would make my wii u wifi antenna power off just about once per match, but i'm not expecting that to happen on a different console

since no one's mentioned how good the music is: the splatoon soundtrack is bad rear end, it keeps you fully pumped to the last second of the round, aand in the pre-match lobby you can fiddle with the buttons and sticks to remix the background music. its unique and confident and cool

i'm very into the new situational alt fires they've added (dodging into an aimed crouched shot with the splat dualies, lobbing paint straight ahead with the roller if you swing midair) and im extremely pumped to see what else you can do

I would have played Splatoon a lot more if the restrictions on changing maps, modes and equipment were removed. I understand wanting to handhold and streamline things around the player with as broad of an audience as possible, but it was too much

I like colorful fun team shooters. How bad is the lag though? I'm a little concerned since I can't run a hardline to the switch

seems really good. i was playing the testfire handheld all throughout the apartment and on the porch and it was perfectly smooth the entire time

I thought the devs said that all game modes were returning from Splatoon 1 but I dunno
