Topic: Splatoon - OT

@Spoony_Tech: Good point, but still, why else would they do that? Do they really think they're fooling anyone? Or do they just think they can get away with it because they're Disney?
@WanderingHypocrite: True, but those are made by the players of those games. THIS is made by the actual developers, who have then promoted it as if it were their own creation.

lol that looked so bad; I feel sorry for anyone trying to play that instead of Splatoon. You really should be playing any other shooter at that point...well any of the decent ones.

The thing is though, I hope that Disney Infinity isn't boring enough to justify playing that...

@Shirma_Akayaku: It's so empty and joyless compared to the real thing. What does inking turf even have to do with Disney??? XD

Hello fellow NintendoLife users! Is anyone up for a game of Splatoon ranked squad battle with me?

@Spoony_Tech: Been busy watching baseball, what am I bashing Ntineod for this time?

OK, looks like the mock DI Squid Wars? Seems legit, even if the paid DI team did make it. Here's how I see it - Disney isn't selling it, and it's bad - the best part for me about Spalton is putting down the seeker and swimming off in the ink, or spraying w/ the aerospray, this has none of those. In fact if they didn't name it Squid Wars - which makes no sense as there aren't any squid in it - then I wouldn't even bother comparing it to Spaltoon. The Minecraft mod is MUCH better. And that was days after Spaltoon came out, it's probably much better by now. Not saying it isn't a low hanging fruit blatant rip-off, but I see nothing illegal or unethical about it. DI is a toy box building game. When LBP came out everybody was making Super Mario levels, and Final Fantasy 7 type JRPG games when LBP2 came out. It's what people do w/ creative sandbox games, copy other games. If Disney sold this as one of those $20 stand alone packs like racing and platforming and called it Squid Wars and actually made it good by adding in a swimming mechanic then I'd dial up my lawyers if I were Ntinedo, but a bad copy level inside a creative game, seems more tribute and homage than anything else.

Oh, and since the first reveal I always thought Spaltoon played off of the DeBlob color everything mechanic, and I do think the people making Spatoon must have been influenced by DeBlob, but having played both extensively I've forgotten all about DeBlob. Not all 2D platformers are Super Mario Bros rip offs and not all 3D platformers are SM64 clones.

Nice. Send me a friend request on Miiverse. My username is Zerodactyl. I'll set up a squad and we're ready to go!

I don't mind. We can do private battles, if you want.

After this news update

@pikminfan22 want to try out some Ranked Battle, again?

Nice, we're done now.

@pikminfan22 well, I'm gonna go now. Too much Splatoon may actually turn me into a squid!

Nice playing with you. You are a good Splatter!

Japan Splatfest results:

Team Boke were the minority with 43% votes compared to Tsukkomi which had 57%.
Win percent was pretty close, but team Tsukkomi had the lead with 51% to Boke's 49% which led to a victory for team Tsukkomi with 261 points compared to Boke's 239 points.

I was team Boke Got to the second highest rank so I received 10 super sea snails at least.

So surprisingly some info was found out about Splatoon by data mining SMM. Apparently SMM contained a lot of Splatoon's Beta Development Images, and it shows the original designs and concepts for some of the weapons and gear.

@pikminfan22: According to the Leaker (NWPlayer123) the tennis ball was the original design for suction bombs and the bowling bowl was the disruptor..

If anybody wants to team up let me know.

I don't know if anyone else already asked about this (I obviously can't just view over 350 pages for that), but I'm really getting annoyed at how unbalanced the regular battle sessions are. simply, most players have under level 10, but almost every session there's a player with level above 20, 30 and even 50. this just makes the game completely hard to enjoy, since if you are on a team with the high level player then you're almost guaranteed to win

I always find that extremely frustrating unless (of course) the level 50 splatter is on your team.

@TheTeaStirrer: anyway, I hope this gets fixed soon enough. the game was really fun otherwise, but since level 4 this just happened way too often

Yeah. Maybe in a new update, Nintendo could add two different options for playing Turf War: playing with people at the same level, or playing with people at every level. But then again, you'd have to take into account the fact that one option may be used a lot more than the other, which could mean one of them takes ages to find a match for.

I found this drawing of someone's personal design for an Octoling Boy and I thought it was simply too good and nice not to share.
