Topic: Splatoon 2

@WoomyNNYes sorry to pest you again. ( i have checked ) but how do I put up that word cloud in the lobby do I need the octo expansion pack?

@ NinFan To play splatfest, you don't have to do anything, just turn on Splatoon 2 and play turf war may 22-24. I think it will be available for Ireland too.

Edit: If Splatfest is available for your region, you can pick your team right now at a kiosk in Inkopolis square. I picked team Ketchup. Make sure your game is updated.

@Ninfan ohhh, the "word cloud" bubble thing. I got ya. You can only post things in those if you link your Twitter or maybe Facebook. I have no idea why you can't post without a social media account.

Edit: there's a red mailbox looking thing by the shoe store in inkopolis Square. That is where you go to link twitter and create a word bubble, banner post. I don't know what they are called.

Is this Ketchup v Mayo Splatfest happening for UK too? Can anyone in the UK region confirm that you can pick Splatfest teams for this Splatfest? I'm trying to help @NinFan. I was able to pick team Ketchup yesterday here in the US.

@WoomyNNYes yes. It’s happening

Just picked up this game again after selling it about a year ago. The demo got me back into it. Forgot how much fun it is, especially now that some of my mates are trying it out for the first time and loving it. Hopefully they invest too.

I bought Splatoon 2 a few months ago out of curiosity and I think it's one of Nintendo's most dynamic IPs. Every parameter of the game is compelling, from the art style and lore to the overall concept and control scheme. Between the varied online modes, from the competitive turf wars to the cooperative Salmon Run, and the engaging single-player campaign, it adds up to a fine package.

Initially, I was put off by the motion controls and opted to disable them. But doing so is basically heresy for any tried and true fan of Splatoon, so I forced myself back onto motion controls and it soon felt so natural, even on handheld mode. Given that the game lacks an auto-aim function, motion controls do indeed allow one to run and gun more precisely.

As one would expect from Nintendo, there is both accessibility and depth in the gameplay, which makes it difficult to put down, even if you're – like me – not particularly good at it.

@nib0 Yeah, I thought motion control was crazy at first, and resisted it. But yeah, it's the only way to go, and you'll never go back to stick aiming, it's that good. And, it didn't take long to get used to it.

The other thing that annoyed me when I started Splatoon 2, is the mandatory news/stage updates when you bootup the game. Nintendo made that mandatory to deter players from disconnecting from online games. Without the news, people could easily disconnect from online games (ruining your team's game), then reboot & jump jack fairly quickly & painlessly. I still don't like sitting through news, and having to hit the buttons to keep advancing through it, but knowing why they it's mandatory makes it a little easier to accept.

Hello all,
Is anyone else up for League Battles tomorrow (Saturday, May 9) from 3PST to 5PST? Please DM me if interested @akkslidersongaday on Instagram. I would love to try out League Battle with someone.
Thanks so much!!

anyone one, win anything nice during splatfest?

I finally have sea snails on my second save file

@LzWinky hahaha. I think it's funny you posted that. Yeah, having sea snails is helpful adding ability slots. And Splatfest is the quickest way to earn sea snails. I don't blame you for being psyched I enjoyed building up a second Splatoon 2 profile last year. It was fun unlocking some of the hero weapons again, too.

@Ninfan I got 13 sea snails. I was Ketchup and played to Champion level. That was it. And, I never won the 10x or 100x battles. Still had fun though.

Hi everyone!
I got Splatoon 2 like a year and half ago but I've recently played it after a long time and I've never been so enthralled with it!
I'm just a noobie overall (level 17, ~40 hours in), but if you have a discord/community or would simply like to play together, feel free to add me!

If I buy the Octo expansion pack will it download to my splatoon 2 cartridge on my micro sd card?

@Ninfan Onto either your SD card or the system memory. I don’t believe the game cards themselves can store anything other than the base game.

@Ninfan Like Maxz said. Side note: When you have a micro sd card inserted, the Switch automatically puts purchased game dlc onto you micro sd card.

This is random, but is anyone else thinking that they might switch from Splatoon to Ninjala, once Ninjala releases?

@ACNHislit did you play it . is it any good?

@ACNHislit @Ninfan Ninjala releases June 24, Wednesday. It does look cool. The Ninjala level design looks very Splatoon-inspired, in a good way. It looks like a beat'em up. So, no shooting or ink swimming. I'll wait for release & reviews.

@Ninfan
I haven't played it yet, as it hasn't released yet.
I've heard it's good, though.
