Topic: Splatoon - OT

Just got emails from game uk! They said they're preparing for dispatch get ready for release day!

@jariw lol!

Just got an email saying it will be delivered between 11 and 12! Yay so close

Just had a thought, which one is everyone choosing to play as? A boy or a girl? I don't know if there are differences in gameplay and abilities, if any?

I don't think there will be any differences.

it will just be cosmetic!

I'll go boy inkling because love some Of fashion.

I've seen male inklings wear!

Male inkling. I'm going to spend so much time on my outfit.

@Datasun_7 Around 5pm for me! Hype!

There is no difference, and (IIRC) you can switch back and forth between them as you wish. All clothes are gender neutral, except the outfit that unlocks with the girl amiibo (which is a Japanese school uniform, where the boy has shorts instead of skirt).

@Tate24 Yep! In the testfire demo I tried both genders and for some reason I just didn't really like the look of the girl one while I was playing I'm probably the only who's saying that! So I'm playing as the boy inkling

Yea I actually like look girl inkling!

Her hair looks pretty cool.

But yea just really wanna make my inkling my own.

Using my style to reflect myself in inkling form

Considering that it is possible to change the Inkling gender everytime and at any time in the options I don't see a reason for choose.
I'll probably switch between them depending which one I wanna see in action or if the gears with the abilities I want looks better on a boy or on a girl XP

My TGC order has dispatched. Can't wait to get stuck into this. Zavvi also sent my Inkling amiibo yesterday.

anyone had the 3pack from game been sent yet

Huh, guess Nintendo does care about Denmark. They're setting up a Splatoon promotion in central Copenhagen!

Come on. It's not like Professor Oak would come here and constantly ask you if you are a boy or a girl.

@Datasun_7 Has your copy arrived yet?

@Inkling It has but because i'm in halls at uni, I need to wait until they email me that they have got a parcel for me This is absolutely the worst kind of waiting because I know it's so close haha

Wow game just f****d my order for a second giving me two official guides so I couldn't afford the game! I sorted it but their phone lines are long and the music is horrible!

Looks like Splatoon has some direct competition, Halo 3 ODST is being released on the Master Chief Collection this Friday (29th May).

Despite Yodel's parcel tracking telling me yesterday that it was still on course for delivery this Friday - I now have my grubby little mitts on my copy of Splatoon with Inkling + other bits... So unlike last year's c*ck up with deliveries of pre-orders of the Mario Kart Blue Spiny Edition, absolute kudos to Nintendo this year... Shame I'm at work and may not get a chance to even turn on my Wii U tonight, although I assume that the online multiplayer won't work just yet, but I would imagine that the single/local multi player stuff should work...

I thought that was just for people who got the game in a certain time frame?
