Topic: Splatoon - OT

I like the sound effects though. This weapon looks pretty cool, though the Splat Roller will probably get more use from me.

Oh my gosh! Those Inkling dying sound effects... are SO ADORABLE!

Very nice.

I'm liking what I'm seeing so far.

I preordered my copy already. I'm very much looking forward to this game. I was very pleased when they announced a single-player mode as well.

Spoilers for Single Player

The single player mode has you saving an electric catfish

I'm going to preorder as soon as there's an actual release date. I'm always rather skeptical about release windows irrelevant of whether it's a year, season/quarter or even month. Never forget Devilish Brain Training and Smash 3DS!

I've just pre-ordered this today, £25 seems too good not to.

Game is already paid for. I just need to pick it up on the day of release.

True, but as this is a must-own title for me either way, I don't see why it's a bad thing. At least for me. I wanted to preorder XCX as well, but they did not even have it available at GS yet, so I passed.

Hahah so... what do you want the guys who made Splatoon to do after the game comes out? I think its gonna be a nice hit and the online will be played nonstop for a good while until Pokken Fighters or another big Wii U online game comes. I hope the Splatoon guys make another new ip!!!

They have already stated they will continue to support Splatoon after release, meaning DLC.

Makes sense as DLC is an integral part of shooters.

first off, im really excited for this game
secondly, it seems Nintendo have remove the game off there eshop after seeing the "Amiibo image" hmm...
i try to look it up i try go were it shows all games and bam it not there anymore. =P

Official website is up. May release confirmed!!

It was already confirmed for May during the last Nintendo Direct, if my memory serves me correctly.

May 22 seems to be the release date for Europe:

I personally don't care, because I never talk to anyone anyways. But that still isn't good. Reviewers are going to probably destroy this game over that one issue. I'm not even going to read reviews for this game. I won't set my expectations for something I'm looking forward to, solely on reviews.

Well, I could go on and on about how stupid Nintendo is for this. But it doesn't surprise me at all, and that's the saddest part of all. I'll be skipping out on the game

Well those are the breaks I guess. It still should be a fun game and they've put enough other methods in to make up for it from a gameplay perspective I guess.

Looks like today is a big Splatoon emagro preview.

Voice chat is not lost for me, I can't stand having idiots scream racist and homophobic things which sadly is too often the norm so I stopped using voice chat years ago.
