Feature: Splatoon 2 and the Spirit of Miiverse - In Pictures

Expect them to be full of "glowing endorsements" for the online app, soon.

If this game isn't in stock tomorrow at my local Wal-Mart, there's no predicting what havoc I might wreak.

I'm not sure whether memes were a thing during the original Splatoon,
I certainly wasn't aware of them. But this time, can see them being spammed all over the shop

@KirbyTheVampire I just (this second) got my Splatoon2 amiibos a day early from Walmart online and was just wishing I'd ordered the game from there too.

I hate how there are dozens of people who will get a game early then lord it over the rest of us. There is literally nothing to like about it at all. And surely Splatoon 2 itself won't be as fun online because only a few people have it.

@Dang69 Would it be too late for me to pre-order the game from there? I've never pre-ordered a game, but after MK8D wasn't in stock on day 1 at my Wal-Mart, I would be a lot more willing to do so.

Also, do you have any idea if there's any extra cost for pre-ordering in Canada?

With these 'Got it early' posts in the pictures, you can officially call me jello, though, it's almost just 11 hours until I pick up my copy.

Nintendo dropped the ball with this online app. I am in utter disbelief. Switch wasn't perfect but this is just a pile of piss! (I can say this word now it seems!)

Where do you even go to post these? I tried in the splatfest one but couldn't find anything.

That's a...

...poor imitation of Miiverse.

@erv I believe it's a mailbox-looking thing to the left of those sliding doors your character faces upon spawning into the square.

@Dev Well, you can visit Miiverse here even if you don't login :+).

Miiverse is still alive even if the quality isn't as good as before.

I hope we get something like the Activity Feed on the Switch, a place where you can post and friends can post, as well as being able to send private messages too.

@Dev Ah, I see. Would be cool if Splatoon 2 had a place were we can see the Splatoon 2 drawings and maybe that will come 1 day :+).

Anyway, it will be interesting to see how it goes for Splatoon 2 and just some/a few hours to Splatoon 2 launch really.

I don't have Splatoon 2, or indeed a Switch yet, but someone drew my attention, via Twitter, to a pic of Michael Jackson, with the words King of Pop. It was actually really good, very impressive.

Can't wait to enlighten the world... with my memes and quotes.

It went live at 9pm in Japan on the night of 20th July
It's now 22:37 here in Spain and I'm still bloody waiting for the estop to spark up with the SPLATOON 2 Download option whilst my ultimately over-enthusiastic GF sits next to me on the sofa playing in Japanese HA HAHAHAHAHAHA!! ( I'm crying right now!)

I thought that first pic said something else.....

I didn't know sergals were in need of saving.

I wonder if the "PISS" one come from the last SMG4 video where there's a "squid kid" that curses by saying... well, "Aaaw piss!".

(If you're curious, there's the moment. Warning, bad language.)

@KirbyTheVampire Preorder is still available for pre-order - but it says it ships tomorrow. But you could preorder right now and do an in-store pickup, and you could possibly get it tomorrow. My Walmart site is set to USAUSAUSA, so it won't let me input your Canadian area codes.

@Dang69 Alright, thanks. It still says it's available for pre-order at my Wal-Mart as well, so I'm assuming it would work.

Fear me! I will splat all of you!

Splatoon 2 is now available in Britain!

Join me, my midnight bretheren! xD

All you need now are: official Squid Party endorsements, drawings of genitalia, questions about "haxxors", O.C. bumps, R.P. invites, and Woomy.

Has anyone worked out any better alternatives to finger painting? Are there any decent styli out there that work with this kind of touch screen? I tried a carrot. It kind of worked. But then I ate it.

Getting it at lunch tomorrow!! The insanity begins!!

@Maxz you're not supposed to eat your stylus...
But there are some stylus which are made for capacitive touch screens so maybe try one of those? I've used one before on my phone and it worked decently. Better than my finger at least

@Zingo I'll be looking for you. And you're probably right lol

I just bought it from the European E-shop.

U.S. eshop seems to be down for me. Frustrated.

@H1B1Esquire You're forgetting the ten million pictures of Squidward

Really looking forward to messing about with the app. I'm the one person in the world right now who thinks it looks really cool!

The "Ponies!" one made me laugh! Manely because you won't see them in this game.

@Maxz

I've tried a few different capacitive styli over the years, and got the best mileage out this one made by MEKO:

www.amazon.com/MEKO-Precision-Stylus-Bundle-Replaceable/dp/B00N1BRWLA/

What's really nice about it is unlike many capacitive styli, it has a precision tip.

@TrixieSparkle Thanks, that's really helpful. Unfortunately out of stock on the U.K. Amazon Store, but I'll do some more research. It's good to have something to go off.

You're forgetting the crudely drawn imitations of human body parts used for reproduction. Add in some more drug references and curse-laden attacks on individuals disliked by the artist and it'll be just like real life graffiti.
