Topic: Splatoon 2

Here's images of the update's contents:

I don't give a damn.

NoJ killed this game by being deaf, stupid and blind to what people have been wanting for a month and 18 days now: Cloud saves (because the excuse they gave is garbage, automated PR crap!) and dedicated servers (again, garbage, automated PR crap!). The old geezer suits over at NoJ are blind, deaf and stupid to ignore those two things, which is what entirely killed it in North America. Good job, NoJ, you killed an amazing game with an abysmal paid online that, quite frankly, should have been postponed before September 18th just so you could take yet another year to study what the good parts of your competition has for paid online. :I

We're ALL waiting, Nintendo. Quit BSing and lying and shovelling out garbage, poor-quality and automated PR and work it out or Splatoon 2 will REMAIN dead. The crusade for cloud saves and dedicated servers aren't going to die or be halted all because you keep saying "No" or "We can't". Because it's not a matter of you "can't", it's just that you WON'T out of your own stubbornness that you dug yourselves into this hole. Hell, you're making Iwata angrily weep up in heaven now that you've gone back to your blind, deaf and stupid ways.

@OctoInk20 “All the talk in the industry regarding online gaming has been misleading. Network swindlers have made it seem like companies can’t survive in this business without network compatibility,” said Iwata. “That’s the same type of rhetoric people have been saying about the newspaper business, that the paper-based periodical business will be dead in three years. In reality, the number of users willing to pay a monthly fee for online games is small. Many of the American companies who were focusing almost exclusively on network games last year now view network capabilities as an advertising tool. The fact of the matter is, network games can’t provide a stable source of profit for a company of Nintendo’s scale.”

Splatoon 2 seems to be doing fine though.

My Splatfest team, Team Salsa won yesterday. Which means I won my second Splatfest this year. But having a winning team isn't important, it's about having fun with either friends or randoms who want to have fun. So it doesn't matter who wins or lose, as long as you have fun, it's okay with me.

Final content update, 4.3.0 comes December 5th.

After that it's just Splatfests and balancing until July.

People will still play Splatoon 2, so even if it is the final update, there's still Splatfests till July. So no, it's not the end of Splatoon 2 until Splatoon 3 is announced.

Last I heard you could hop on Splatoon 1 and still find a match in seconds. Splatoon, it seems, has staying power to rival Mario Kart.

Hey, no need to insult us like that. We are the reason why Nintendo is still going strong despite your childish claims. Heck, some of us found a solution to the Switch's Wifi problems.

And like Zyrac said, if Splatoon 1's servers are still up and running and people are still playing it, then Splatoon 2 is far from dead.

Well okay, some of us will still play the Nintendo Switch while the Wii U's death bed is approaching really fast and sooner or later, Nintendo will drop support for the servers in their Wii U games.

Again, no need for the insults. I think the anger you're having is because of the loss of your father's mother and her death must have increased your anger. Take a deep moment to calm down.

Ok. I have been having problems with Splatoon 2 lately, but I think it's because it may be my internet acting up. I have so much fun with Splatoon 2 over the past two months. And the holidays and my birthday are coming up, so I am gonna take a break from Splatoon 2 for awhile to play some of the Switch games I got during Hanukkah. And before forgive me for being a bit rude OctoVeemo20 starts her usual conspiracy/rant sailor mouth posts about how Nintendo didn't add delicate servers and how NSO is right now and her claims about dozens and dozens of people complaining to Nintendo about it, as I said before, it is not the servers, but I think my internet is acting up.

So until my internet is in working condition again, I will be taking a break from Splatoon 2 and play my new Switch games like Hyrule Warriors and Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate.

Turns out the reason January Splatfest is holiday based is that there's a December Splatfest based on Smash Ultimate, Heroes vs. Villains.

Would anyone here be interested in forming a team? I've been playing for 300h+ and mainly clam blitz (reached x rank) but am interested in other modes too.

moving forward, I demand glittery ink for every Splatfest.

I downloaded the free demo. My kid signed up for the online on his account. I can't play on my account.

So for all the people saying NO is better than PS+ b/c it's so much cheaper, well at least I never ran into this kind of problem w/ 4 accounts on my two PS3 and one PS4. Anybody, anytime, on any system can play the PS+ games. I know Nintendo has a $35 "family account", and as soon as I can find the free trial for it I'll stop complaining. It's a free trial Nintendo, why make it so difficult to play?

How many Salmon Run points you need to get those Krusty Sean double experience tickets?

@Eagle9 Salmon Run rewards are random, although checking the rotation's superbonus (press Y on the Grizzco menu) will give you some idea of what particularly good ones you'll get that time. The orange reward capsules have a chance to contain experience tickets. Note that if you keep playing past 1200p in a rotation you'll only get gear from then on.

You've really got to appreciate some April Fools' jokes.

Woot! That was a lot of fun! Played up to King/Queen in this last Splatfest! Even managed a 7-win streak at one point! Great finale for the game.

Sure, I can still play it anytime, but this still feels like the finale. I really hope that Nintendo doesn't let Splatoon fade into obscurity. Like they have some of their other IPs... They'd be making a hell of a big mistake.

Also am I crazy, or did they buff Tenta-missiles at some point? I don't remember them being so good. But maybe I was just getting a little lucky with them.
