Re: Video: Camp Triggerfish is Splatoon's Newest Map, See It in the Flesh

A pretty Fresh map. Loving the variety we have now.

I'm actually enjoying /not/ being able to choose my maps. Forces me to pick a weapon I think I can work with on more than one stage, and contributes to the feel that every match feels fresh. I think it's good that players are forced to adapt to this instead of getting into a comfort zone.

I think the process in general can be refined, but I'm pretty satisfied with this first game. I'll look forward to the inevitable sequel, though I'm sure that won't be for quite some time.

Yeah, the person just zoomed in on a blurred out shot of Japanese text. Had nothing to do with anything the video was saying from what I could make out. The text was actually about childhood stuff, like wanting to write manga in middle school (from what I can make out, the kanji is a bit too blurry for me).

Here's hoping you guys can get someone who speaks/reads Japanese on staff someday~

Re: N-ZAP89 and Octobrush Weapons are Next Up in Splatoon Update

@MikeW

The updates are part of the fun for me. Each time we get a new update the game feels a little bit more fresh.

I'd get the game now before they all stop. Heck with all this on-disk content imagine if they've been crafting actual downloadable content while holding us over with these updates?

Re: Rumour: Nintendo NX Won't Be As Powerful As PlayStation 4

I wasn't expecting it to be on par with the ps4 either in power.

If they wanna keep their system affordable I don't see why they would. In fact if it doesn't support a game pad then it might still come in at $250 or so.

However Im concerned that third parties might not like working with specs that isn't close enough to the latest out there.
