How will you prepare yourself for Splatoon 1 Wii U when the online feature discontinued?
I have a situation which I can get Splatoon 1 Wii U from my country but to get the game on this year is already too late to access the online play so I will prepare myself to accept Offline only play, imagining Splatoon 1 as mini version of Ratchet & Clank game.
Is my imagination for Splatoon 1 as mini version of Ratchet & Clank sounds right?
My Wii U is literally filled with bunch of mediocre games in physical lol. 😅
Been playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with Tyranexx, @jedgamesguy, Sunsy, and ChameleonBros, thanks for the races everyone! Did voice chat for the first time so a couple of you now know what I sound like, lol. I did admittedly overreact a few times (when I kept getting hit for example), but I promise you, I still had fun. Good games, and looking forward to our next set of races!
Pleasure playing you and @Tyranexx as always, especially on voice chat, that added a new depth to the competition. I’d like to think I gave you two a good run for your money but it felt like ML was cruising (usually at the front). Mario Kart is super fun, both because of the RNG and in spite of it but suffice it to say whenever we can do it again hit me up.
@Anti-Matter Some interesting suggestions. I'll admit rhythm games aren't my cup of tea, namely because I'm so bad at many of them. I forgot there were more Yo-Kai Watch Busters/Blasters games that never made it over here. I do agree - from what I've read of Yo-Kai Watch 3's localization - that changing the country to "BBQ" was nuts....But then again, they tried to pass off Japan in the first two games as the US. I think many kids catch on that this isn't the case lol. I've seen where you're still heavily invested in the series in both the forums and the "What Games Are You Playing This Weekend?" articles on the main site.
@jedgamesguy ML/MV cruising towards the front is pretty normal in my experience. Can't imagine why. I'm sure MV hasn't played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe very much at all. Definitely looking forward to the next time we play! And hopefully I didn't sound too overly awkward lol.
I play Mario Kart for fun/casually. I don't know some of the tracks very well, particularly the DLC tracks. A good chunk of my luck relies on the item RNG lol.
@Tyranexx
I still active in playing Rhythm games on Arcade like DDR but recently I tried the other dancing game with 5 panels (Phoenix version and Infinity version) at my local Arcade for alternative choice since DDR machine only one left in my hometown and other place like Jakarta and Bandung already have the newest DDR machine. Well, Rhythm games is one of my forte and I still able to get Perfect score on dance machine 5 panels thanks to my 20 years experience of playing DDR since late 2003.
You can check my latest high scores on my Rhythm Games Thread, since only me that still active to post about Rhythm games as it seems the majority users here are not into Rhythm games and if they are into Rhythm games, they only know about Rhythm Heaven since that franchise is belong to Nintendo, not games like DDR or Beatmania or Drummania like I played on Arcade and PlayStation machines.
Oh, I got Tales of Symphonia PS3 version including with the sequel from Wii version in HD last Tuesday.
I have never played Tales of series, I got the game from local online shopping website with price 200,000 IDR or under $15.
But I still not really sure I will engaged with those games even after purchased it as I pick that game on a whim just because I want to give it a chance as the Tales of series I can accept based on their gaming content and violence level.
Pretty much I can accept the series until Symphonia and Graces on PS3 because started from Xilia, the game content become more mature with explicit blood on the anime cutscene and peoples get impaled by weapon, something that I will instantly ban when I see that contents.
Btw, did you play Atelier Marie remake?
Actually I never get into Atelier series as I'm not a fan of playing RPG games with too many female characters especially with too much female fan service (except FF X-2 case that I considered as Charlie's Angel's parody in FF X and I like it) but for Atelier Marie Remake, since the character design in Chibi Nendoroid style, it looks cute and I admit I want to get that game but on PS5 version for stable 60 fps.
I wonder if I can use male characters oftenly in my team as I need the handsome looking male characters for something nice to see.
In RPG games, I want something masculine characters, but in girlie games like Barbie, I can getting along well with the female characters.
Seeing as how the Nintendo Network is shutting down soon, I just went and finished playing 50 online matches in "Kid Icarus: Uprising" (as one of the challenges requires playing that many online matches total).
It's my birthday today! So far, so good. Got a new Trolls shirt, Mineez, and plushies, gaming-wise I got Wreckfest and an eShop card. Gonna order some pizza later for dinner and play some Splatoon later (Nintendo, you couldn't pick a better day to shut down servers? Like never day maybe?).
Pic of the shirt and plushies I got.
@Tyranexx I felt the earthquake that happened, everything shook for a few seconds then stopped.
Yeah, Amiibo Festival was kinda like Mario Party, but without mini-games if I remember correctly. It's been awhile since I've played it. I remember getting it for the amiibos and because it was cheap, but I didn't hate the game, contrary to popular opinion. It was just a board game without mini-games. I forgot that that was a bundle was a thing.
Thank you. Wow, hope you got through those evenings. Nice, I mostly use the pro controller too. I do feel the battery life was better in the Wii U pro controller though. For some reason, the Switch controller I feel like I'm charging a few times a week compared to the Wii U one.
@Anti-Matter Simple, just play the game offline in single player or 1 vs. 1 mode with a friend if we play. Splatoon 1 does have a single player story mode and local multiplayer where one plays on TV and the other plays via gamepad screen.
Though, shut downs like this makes me wish all online games went back to the old ways of online gaming, where people can host their own servers. Why is it I have PC games spanning back 20 years ago, and I can still play them online, yet a 9 year old game, I won't be able to anymore? Last month, my friend and I played an old game on PC. I hosted, he joined via IP address in the game menu. It was a feature of the game too.
Lmao I just saw a tweet from Yuji Naka, who’s meant to be in prison for insider trading, saying that he likes the current Square Enix president, and that the original Dragon Quest 12 producer was the kind of guy to lie to court.
Yeah... that earthquake was scary to hear about. A 4.8 quake in New Jersey! I'm in New York, but I didn't feel any shaking. Did a bit of research and it seems to be just minor damage at worst. Regardless, I hope you're all doing well! In other news, I've been playing the original Splatoon online, before the 3DS and Wii U servers get discontinued tomorrow. It's gonna suck to lose this game... the online is a huge part of Splatoon in general. Hopefully it'll get brought back in some form in the future.
@Tyranexx Yeah anytime! It was indeed pretty fun. I did have trouble hearing you on my end, but I didn't hear any traffic or anything. No harm done regardless.
Yeah absolutely, mental health is super important... though I can be hard on myself sometimes. My middle school and high school days weren't great either, because I've gotten bullied quite a bit. Hence my low self-esteem. (I did do good in my classes, though.) My mom has been saying that I should do self-love, and that does seem to work pretty good, so I should get in the habit of telling myself that I'm a good person.
Ah yeah isn't the PSP another one of those systems known for its RPGs? I do know you're a fan of the genre. Just saying this from memory. I'm not too huge into RPGs mainly because of their general length. So I'd have to be selective with them.
Oh that's great to hear! Glad you're all better! The pollen isn't super strong here either, at least for now, so I'm doing all right myself... for the most part at least, but I'll get to more in a bit. Hopefully you got to have your jog.
That's cool, hope you're enjoying your revisit to Ys VIII. It's a series I've heard of, but I've not played it. Thank you for the reminder, yes I've been playing quite a bit of Splatoon 1 last week! Been having fun with it, I like a few of its specials (I love the Inkzooka), and the music is awesome. I'd like to play more... but for some reason, my left thumb and left index finger have gotten tired sometime after my last session on Friday. It might be because the Wii U GamePad is a larger controller, which Splatoon 1 requires... and it's been some time since I last used the GamePad. That "tired" feeling has been coming back too, so I may have to rest more. Health is very important, after all.
Oh gotcha, I've actually not seen any of those movies until... I wanna say the early 2010s, when I wanted to broaden my horizons and get into movies. Oh that's the one you've seen in your childhood huh? Doesn't look super familiar to me. Lol, I remember that piano in Super Mario 64... that's one piano you don't wanna play! That's cool you work at a haunted house.
@Sunsy Happy birthday! I hope you're having a wonderful day. Those are some cool presents you've gotten! It was indeed fun racing with you, and that's super cool you got to play that Mario Kart arcade game. That's a shame you got a cold, but I'm glad you're better now.
Thank you, it was related to my low self-esteem, but it's gotten a bit better. Though right now, my left thumb and left index finger have been feeling tired after playing quite a bit of Splatoon 1 last week. It might be because of how big the Wii U GamePad is, and it's been a while since I used it before that last week... I might have to rest more as a result.
Oh gotcha, I see. That's cool though. Lol, "Sunsy" does keep things small! So some Sonic games just have 8 characters for player names, huh? I don't recall... besides Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and Team Sonic Racing (I have both on Steam), I've not played any Sonic games online.
Just curious, I can't remember if I asked you already, but did you play the first Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast? I've heard of it back in the day, but never played it. Didn't play the GameCube version either... wasn't sure if I'd be into PSO as a kid, so I just stuck with Sonic in terms of Sega's offerings. Actually, a long time ago I had a Sega Genesis themed plug and play console from Radica, and I was able to play Sega's other games from there, such as Golden Axe and Kid Chameleon.
Ah, gotcha, yeah that does sound like busywork. Sounds like grinding to level up in RPGs, which I don't really like doing, lol. Especially if there's a boss fight that's hard because my party is underleveled.
@jedgamesguy It was a pleasure playing with you two as well! I've gotten a bit more comfortable with voice chat as well. Yeah, been playing the Mario Kart series since the Nintendo 64 days... guess that's why I've gotten quite experienced with it!

Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I'd like to know you first. Thanks! ❤️
@Sunsy
Before that, Happy birthday to you.
Since you had played Splatoon 1 on Wii U, I want to know what we can do on the Splatoon main Street during Offline condition?
I knew we cannot even purchase the clothes and weapons if the machine didn't get connected to internet..
I think Nintendo should design Splatoon games with Offline base for basic gameplay like purchasing the clothes and weapons.
Why weren't we allowed to purchase the clothes / weapons just because our machine was not connected to internet?
They can make their Splatoon more like Ratchet & Clank style for who like the Offline contents and provide the Online features for who like to play with other players.
I heard the Octo expansion from Splatoon 2 and the DLC for Splatoon 3 made the games become worthier for Offline play, more like Ratchet & Clank style. Am I right?
Btw, I keep hearing from every Splatoon games, the way you get money by participating in Online Turf War. Is there any way to get the money with at least our machine (Switch) get connected to Online (subscribe $20 for NSO first) and not participating in Turf War?
I was thinking Local Multiplayer since I have two pairs of Joy Cons so I can have Multiplayer play by take control both of Joy Cons pair like being played by 2 different peoples.
Can I get some money by playing in Local Multiplayer?
Do y’all have 3DSs? I’d love to add some friends to my 2DS before the services end, to have a bit of a time capsule, like on my other 3DS where I have people from the earlier days of the 3DS.
Since I started using the 2DS with a separate account after the 3DS was already on its way out, I never added anyone there. So it’ll be a bit sad to have that friend list so empty forever.
@MarioVillager92 you’d be adding my alt account actually (after all, this 2DS started life as a second unit that I had to create an account for). If you want to add me on switch I can give you the fc of the main account instead.
