Topic: Splatoon - OT

@DiscoGentleman: Nothing other than the usual devices. It's seriously never done this before. Must be the heavy traffic for Splatfest. Get it together Nintendo!

I've only played three succesful matches without getting booted out.

Got a babysitter and had a full morning of Splatfest this morning. Most my wife or me have sat down and played a game in one day in a while. It was pretty great though. Too bad we had to take turns though.

@DiscoGentleman: Go to friends list (lower left icon on Wii U menu). Press Y or touch "Users Played With" on bottom panel. Pulls up history of all players you've played recently with online.

I'm a little late to the thread. Have we already praised the new music? I hope I didn't miss that.

wow... i was JUST aboiut to post something regarding the new music tracks. Love 'm to bits, in particular the crazy piano piece. And after some initial getting used to, i like the map changes as well. They do make sense and make the matches less static

I don't think we've talked about the new music, but I really like it. It's also a nice detail how they made up a band to go along with it. It's very charming and creative.

So out of the 4 new ones which did you all like best? I'm partial to "Shellfie" to be honest mainly because of the cringe inducing pun.

My Splatfest video is up...at least my last few battles were ok here. I'm done, I keep losing horribly now, gonna play Smash...or something.

@Megumi: That's a bad idea, going to play Smash. Trust me.

....Why's that?

@Megumi: Well, it depends on what you want to do in Smash, but if you go play some matches (especially online matches) after losing a lot in Splatoon, and then lose... well, rage. But that might just be me.

I rarely go online in Smash...or any game that's not online focused, lol. So yeah, I'm good, because Smash CPUs can't handle the way I play my matches there. >:3

I decided not to buy it because I figure Mario Maker is coming out soon so I probably won't play it much. I already own a few games that I never play (Wind Waker, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze) and I'm going to sell The Witcher 3 so I figure I shouldn't buy a game that's just going to collect dust. I'm sure it's a great game but I'm too lazy to try and learn how to play a new game. I mostly only play Smash Bros, Mario Kart 8 and Tomodachi Life on the 3DS.

@Rexcalibr: If you ever do have the chance to buy it I implore you to buy it. The learning curve is very small seeing as the single player is one of the most clever tutorials I've ever played (while also being fun in itself) and the game is designed to keep you coming back. Even if you get bored the next weapon or map gets you straight back in. That's just my two cents.

If you won't buy it, then perhaps you'll buy it for...
Squid Girl!!!

Do it, for her and her powerful umbrella!!! (...that just broke)
...By the way that should be the next weapon type, an umbrella. lol

I like the "Hooked" track the best. But I really like how the new tracks added in piano and 8-bit (or 16-bit or whatever). It mixes things up a lot. If only we could get some more tracks for splatfest!

Speaking of tutorials, I let people try the game out when they come over and I wish I could let them do the tutorial first because it's so well done. Does anyone know how/if I can go back to the tutorial?

I can't remember the name of the track but I know my new favorite is track #30. It reminds me of the music from Sega's DS game "Feel the Magic" with K.K Slider (Animal Crossing) singing.

So is Splatfest over already or no? I didn't pkay all that much this time around but I at least did a little for Team Hot Dog.

@MasterWario: Other than deleting your save file I don't think so.Let them play recon so they can get a feel for the game and the map along with some tips from you
