Splatoon 2 comes out on July 21st and is the follow up to my favorite multiplayer shooter in ages. It's a lot like Splatoon 1 but it looks better and will be supported with new maps, modes, weapons, outfits etc. for the next year, with maybe more after that. As in the original, all post launch DLC is going to be free. Some additional features from the original: - new weapon types like the Splat Dualies, which allow you to do max Payne style dive shots - They said every special weapon is new, at least for now. They may bring back stuff like the Leviathian or Ink Strike later - You can wiggle the analog sticks while in match queue to pitch shift the lobby music - Salmon Run, a co-op horde mode where you collect Golden Eggs while endlessly murking evil Salmonoids - The aforementioned Salmonoids are a new faction which means new Lore - New single player campaign. Callie got disappeared after she lost the final Splatfest of Splatoon 1 and you have to save her because all the loving moronic JAPANESE ECHILDREN WHO DONT KNOW how to shoot the floor wouldn't loving look at the map!! And now Callie is dead. - League Battle is a new team mode where you make a squad and have two hours to score as many points as possible. I don't know what you win from this - Not really new but they brought back a fake miiverse just for Splatoon 2, thank God - Judd has a child named Lil'Judd, and the weird Australian alley urchin has a kid now too - Pearl and Marina have replaced Callie and Marie as the game hosts. Marina is the first friendly Octoling, which means more Lore!!! I personally played a shitload of S1 and got to like level 35 and peaked at a A- after they raised the cap and introduced the ranked modes. Worth mentioning is that all that stuff will be in the game at launch this time, which is nice, since there's no need to ramp up a returning player base. They've shown off some new levels, and that they'll be bringing back tweaked versions of old ones. I'm excited as hell, and I bought a switch just to play this game The first ever Splatoon 2 Splatfest kicks off tomorrow afternoon at 3PM PST, and is Cake Vs Ice Cream. Feel free to flame the opposing team, and talk about some of your favorite stuff from 1 before 2 comes out next Friday. I'll also collect people's Switch friend codes in this OP if people share them, so we can squad up next weekend.

I hope they bring back Museum D'Alfonsino in some form, that was my favorite map from the first game. I liked all those late in life levels that had moving parts and midpoint level transformations, I hope they get more inventive like that with the level design.

I'm having trouble getting my switch on hotel wifi, I think it's because there's a login page where you have to put in your room number but as far as I can tell the switch doesn't have a web browser...am I boned

I think some of the later ones were Global Splatfests and for the day they opened up the matchmaking servers worldwide which was a cool idea but meant that every game was lag city

I finally got my switch to login to the hotel internet and then after I quit the splash screen it immediately disconnected and I can't even access the Internet Options tab, the system just freezes up. Even after a power cycle

The cool thing about the split joycon style is that you only need to tilt one to aim, so I can play the game like Wii and nunchuck

I wonder how they'll announce the splatfest results, it's usually the next day, but obviously not feasible here

Sadly that's all I'll be able to play, but at least I got to Ice Cream Defender. Friday can't come fast enough, think it'll get a Thursday Midnight eshop unlock?

I wonder if the scores being blacked out were just because it was a splatfest or if they're just doing that across the board with 2.

It's kinda messed up that now Judd and Lil Judd pick a side, in 1 Judd just had two flags he held up and pointed to whatever side won.

HolePisser1982 posted:I don't like how many little things they have in the game to make you feel bad after losing rounds They didn't even include the scores in the splatfest. But the absolute worst is that the losing music is such an absolute bummer compared to the win music.

Confession: every time I won in Splatoon, literally every single time after the launch weekend and realized the vibe of the game, I did a little skanking routine when I won, to the beat of the victory theme. This may sound like a Retarded_Clown_ post but it's real.

Evil Eagle posted:what do you mean? it showed kills for both normal splats and special weapons plus the ink percent and #p for each side It didn't show the score in the leaderboard, it just showed names, and I think the Ice Cream Power (or Cake Power, if you're a criminal, is just a splatfest mechanic).
