I know, but that isn't a excuse to offer everything via updates. Though someone said the stuff already is on the disc, you need the updates to unlock it. So technically Nintendo could offer a means in the future to unlock everything at once, without internet.

The first batch of unlocks were on disc, after a while content were added through DLC. But I'm confused: what should be unlocked if you don't have internet? The content that is server unlocked is useless without internet. Even a LAN setup requires an internet connection.

You can buy a new Wii u and still play games such as DKC tropical freeze and Mario 3D world. However, when you insert the Splatoon disc you get the bare-bones experience, since there's no way to retreave the dlc (presumably) when the support has died down. As you said the servers may be around for a long time, but you never know. Put shortly, I rather have all my stuff without the need of updates.

Tropical Freeze and 3D World are local-play games, and compared to Splatoon (as online experience) they are pretty short. I doubt any players put 500+ hours into Tropical Freeze.

Splatoon is an online game. You need a good internet connection to enjoy it. Where the content of the multiplayer content resides is irrelevant.

@shani: Aw, that's too bad. I knew the burst bomb and range thing was too good to be true. Oh well, I'll experiment with the Slosher and some abilities in the testing room myself, and hopefully find a happy medium. I'm still gonna use burst bombs; they're too useful to pass up!

Okay, this is getting weird, yet awesome. A couple days ago, I got my Icy Down Boots fully upgraded with three sub abilities, swim speed up, without using Spyke. Quite lucky, since there swim speed up with that brand doesn't have a higher chance of getting chosen.
Now, today I fully upgraded my Squash Headband to three abilities, this time with all super quick jump! The brand for the headband is Zink, which makes super quick jump 5 times more likely to get chosen. Still though, the odds of getting all the same ability just by leveling up is quite small. I hope my luck for this continues, I really need ink recovery up with my blue sailor suit!

@Blue_Blur I have a weird pair of Fake Contacts that have 3x Special Up, which is perfect for Killer Wail, as it needs to be used frequently to be highly viable on large maps.

I also got the School Jumper with 3x Quick Super Jump (Only just noticed the pun there...) and Cream Hi-tops with 3x Swim Speed Up through levelling up, but all my other 3 slotted gear were all Spike Re-rolled. I'm just working through buying up all the clothes, as I have 600,000 plus coins for some reason. Probably because I only use Sea-Snails for re-rolls.

I am starting to notice the amount of time I put into this game now... Hmm... I should probably stop going for S Rank. (Or at least, returning to A+ rank...)

@DreamyViridi Cheers. Great thought there.

In all honesty, Splatoon and Triforce Heroes are the only games I'm playing at the moment, so, I guess it's ok if I don't play anything on top of Splatoon. But just buying all the clothes in stock every day, and it not making much of a dent into my coin score really does drive home that I do win a fair bit, and I'm not an awful player.

I'm just a not good one. XD

@TheXReturns: But surely, a not-good player would've never made it to A+ in the first place. We all have our off days but sometimes, the good times can roll. After my previous Ranked disaster, with today's session, I'm back up to A+ (50). We can and will make it to S! (Yes, Splatoon is addicting. Yes, I can stop anytime I want.)

On a side note, I'm also still playing Tri Force Heroes. Will probably take a break from it after getting a couple more outfits though. I can't see me beating all of its challenges without giving the game a rest.

@DreamyViridi You say skill, I say my dumb luck streaks, and Rainmaker.

I have nearly all the outfits for Triforce Heroes, and I'd love to play with you again sometime, you were a good teammate. I'm gonna go for all 120 missions. I have almost all of them on Worlds 1 to 3, Having all but one complete in Volcano. (But it's not the don't pop the balloons, weirdly.)

Sorry, little off-topic there.

@DreamyViridi I'm an A rank for Rainmaker. I suck at everything else.

Prolly just me being annoyed over having to fight to keep an A rank, but I still feel really awful when compared to some people on here who could beat me easily.

@Jazzer94: I don't want to even imagine the points you could lose going up against A ranks at S+.

@Spoony_Tech: I ranked down to S because it kept happening and I was losing way more then I was winning like -7 to +2. Still happening now that I'm S.

@VelvetElvis: Hydra totally worked in Tower Control! I feel like I can actually play that mode now! Although I still prefer RM or SZ.

I would have never guessed Weezing was so useful until I played a HeartGold Nuzlocke!

Has anyone else noticed that Saltspray Rig has been taken out of the Rainmaker rotation?

(Glad I'm not crazy; I find that if your TC team has one Hydra, it can be a big help. Godspeed out there.)
