Huh, okay. I remember something vague like this back around when the game was first announced. However, they haven't said anything on local multiplayer, have they? :/

Looks like Playboy was invited to the media preview event.

I am still surprised that Nintendo invites and advertises with Playboy. It's such an odd combination. I mean, to an extent, I get it (especially with Bayonetta). I am curious what percentage of viewers from Playboy actually jump over...

Plus, they first girl didn't get the idea of the game. You aren't supposed to just kill peeps, but paint the territory >:T

Lol, I was going to link the video, which itself is SFW, but I didn't think posting a link to playboy.com would be appropriate...

Erik sure seems like he's used to being interviewed by models!

As for why, it was a press event that NoA invited a lot of people to. Playboy isn't just your dad's nudie mag. They have a gaming section and report on this kind of stuff all the time. Reading Playboy "for the articles" is an old joke, but it's actually pretty accurate.

Oh I know a lot of people were invited. If this were the only thing I've known NoA to have worked with PLayboy on (pardon my terrible grammar), then it'd make sense. This in conjunction with Bayonetta (which was much more exclusive) is a bit different though. As far as it being more than a nudie mag, yeah—I'm aware of that. However, it's the persona and connotation that comes with it. Maybe it's a joint effort... Playboy trying to widen its atmosphere by showcasing Nintendo stuff while NoA trying to get a wider audience for the Wii U as well.

They reviewed Majora's Mask 3D too. It's pretty cheesy and brief, but seems genuine enough.

What's in it for Playboy? Well... going from 5.5 million to 21.6 million unique readership in 6 months is a good start.

At the press event, they were only allowed to play specific parts of Splatoon. The turf battle arenas can be played as 1 vs. 1 duels, which was also mentioned briefly in a tweet:

Yeah, there's way more to the multiplayer than what was shown, and probably more than what we even know. The fact that they have turf war and splat zones split up into two entirely different categories implies that there's more multiplayer modes to be revealed.

Well, actually the girl from the video is the same that made the cosplay for Bayonetta.

So does anyone know what the deal with local multiplayer is going to be? Why aren't they doing splitscreen?

It's dangerous to go alone! Stay at home.

maybe too many features rely on the gamepad to allow splitscreen fairly.

Having played a later build it seems unlikely that the Wii U would be able to process more than two players at any one time. It's seamless online, but I feel that a single console would struggle to sustain local multiplayer beyond the elusive 1v1 mode.

I think it's for the same reason why the GamePad is the only controller option. The touchscreen is apparently a vital aspect of the game.

That's awesome!They should do that with the new Zelda,or better yet get one of the lovely ladies to dress up as Link let's see how that will go down.

So after some Ranked Mode: Splat Zone footage, I have to say, I really like how the timer works in that mode. It should prevent people from quitting early on, as the match is never lost completely.

For anyone that's played the game, what do y'all think of this map?
Untitled
To be honest, this one concerns me. Taking control of the top, a large amount of territory, gives the winning team a height advantage. I can't say I understand everything about this map, but by the looks of it, it gives the winning team a significant advantage.

Just Someloggery
You have the right to disagree with me and the ability to consider anything valid that I say; Please exercise both.

DefHalan

With both teams starting at the bottom and the super jump I think the map looks very fun. holding the top is going to be important but the people are the top won't have an easy time winning.

People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...
