I haven't seen it yet, but want to. I've heard that it is just a good fun film with a lot of fan service and there is no agenda or "woke" politics in it. I think there was a huge pent up demand for something that you can take your family to and not not have to worry about having anything preached to you about. Hopefully studios realize that we just want to be entertained when we go out.

@Greatluigi I had held out hope for so long that someone would make a hack so it could play offline. It's one of my favorite match games ever. Maybe if one day I'm rich I'll figure out how to have someone make one. haha I saved the game on my old phone and still click it from time to time to see if any way to connect.

I hope they do better with them than they did with Demiurge Studios. I loved Sega Heroes, and that game was killed too soon because of greed. I hope Sega doesn't become even greedier with this acquisition. Which I am not privy to what actually happened between them deciding to part ways but Sega Heroes was the only mobile game I've ever spent money on and it will be the last.

Splatoon is my first choice. Then my next would be Star Fox, and then Luigi's Mansion. But honestly, from the list I would probably be interested in almost all of them other than Donkey Kong. I loved the DK Country games on Snes, and loved DK as a kid, but he no longer holds my interest. I'd also love a Wario movie. That could set him up as a future villain.

I didn't see anyone mention this, but was curious how it compared to Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 since I enjoyed both of those movies (2 more than 1 actually) and the totals are:
Sonic 1: $319,715,683
Sonic 2: $405,421,518

I do not find what @dekuforce to respond to my post to being trolling or worth a ban. On my post he stated what for the US or European market is most likely fact based on demographics. Maybe he said something in post 28 that was terrible and inflammatory, but if was his response to me, I see no malice or trolling.

@echoplex Full Disclosure.... I kind of WISH my friends would watch me play Zelda and cheer for me. But I still think I'd rather them cheer me on in a Splatfest.

YO!!!!! They have the shirts for sale on the Nintendo US store. I bought one of each. I love when they actually put the shirts up to match the festival!

I love how inclusive this ad is. I think back to when I was a kid, it was only the boys playing Zelda. Now in the ad there are 7 women and 5 men. Also very diverse with the casting. Zelda really is for everyone.

@LikelySatan Yeah, it's tough to say. I got my switch when Splatoon 2 came out. I mostly played that and rocket league until Animal Crossing came out. BOTW looked amazing but I just didn't think I would have the time to put into it. Then I got Odyssey when it came out but still haven't beaten it so confirmed I wouldn't have the time. However, this game makes me think I will take time for it. I wish it came out a couple of weeks earlier. I'm going to China for a month and do not do online gaming there so this would be a great game to play in the hotel.

@Fizza Agreed, I had no interest in the breath of the wild even though I'm sure it is one of the greatest games ever. However, this video has me doing a pre-order. Wow! Simply WOW!

@LiNeR Exactly!!! Can't believe this wasn't an option to vote for. Although the Mega Man is pretty sweet.

Does anyone else remember how in the original Splatoon there was a glitch so you could get out of the hub and explore where you weren't supposed to see? That would be really cool if they had incorporated that into this as well.

I bought it at the announcement. I'm cool with this skinning and love the nostalgia, but I wish it had some functionality (like adding the old arcade games). I was going to buy it for the single player update later anyway, so this isn't a huge deal to me, just a small bonus. Now if the new campaign is trash, I'll think I overpaid, but I can't imagine it being that bad.

I voted for Splatoon 3 one, as that's the only one I've bought. I REALLY like the Animal Crossing one, and think it is BEAUTIFUL, but It didn't convince me to buy a new system. I already had the switch OLED and bought the Splatoon 3 one, so even though I thought I liked the AC one better, I didn't buy it so obviously I do not know myself well. haha

Yeah, The curling stone is like a nerfed seeker. I used it with my roller now just so I can have some kind of range with my roller. What I liked about the seeker special was that I think I could send out 7 or 8 seekers at once, so on a narrow stage like Camp Triggerfish or Walleye Warehouse I could unleash them all while my teammate tried to advance the rainmaker and it was just enough distraction to get us that extra push. I also liked the original Killer Wail (Sp?) for narrow stages or on Hammerhead Bridge. It would often get me a quad.

I want the seekers back. That was my favorite special from Splatoon one. Unleash the SEAKERS!

I miss the seekers and the special with as many seekers as you could send. That was slightly OP but super fun.

@MS7000 I literally preordered it announcement and have no clue what it is other than cosmetic change. Seems stupid to pay that much for that But I do love Splatoon so hopefully it is more than cosmetic.

Jet Force Gemini, and then Conker. JFG was a great game, but never completed because I HATED how if you left the area and came back, you had to save all the bears again. I feel like once an area is completed, you should be able to backtrack all you want without having to save every bear again.

I agree with the people saying it is great. I haven't played it in years, but now feel the urge to start playing again for old times sake.

@Bass_X0 Got it, thanks. I remember the kids in cages thing. I always thought it was weird that the "not sending their best" thing was taken out of context. He was talking about the coyotes that smuggle people in, but still, I see it's a bad look. And Biden is still working on the wall so I guess no matter who the president is, it's all the same. haha Thanks for explaining. I've never heard of the game so was just curious. Thanks for answering without being political.

@Bass_X0 Not to get political, but how were Mexicans treated during the presidency of Trump compared to how they are treated under Biden? Please pardon my ignorance, just do not understand what happened during Trump? FBI data shows that is has been similar under Biden and was similar pre-Trump. So was curious what the game inferred was happening. Not being political, just wanting some clarification. Thanks.

I somehow had NO idea this came out. This was a game I always wanted on my Wii U and didn't get. I just bought it on sale on the eshop. I feel like it's something I will enjoy a lot.

@KayFiOS hahaha absolutely THIS! That made me nerd laugh. Thank you and I will consider your wit my Christmas gift.

I've played a total of 4 tri-colors, always attacking. I have won 2 of the 4. The issues I have is when one of the other attacking teams kills me. I hope people understand that we should be working together to only splat the defenders, and not the other attacking team because as long as one of the attacking teams wins, it counts for both.

I like the old flounder heights better. And now I see my streams when I swim with ninja squid. Hope that's fixed. I love the other new stage. It's intense

I read through all of this, but I do not see where they fixed how on Scorch Gorge, if you're using Ninja squid, your movements still show in the ink

I don't care about WWE or AEW. I was a WCW fan growing up and old school WWF through the attitude era. Don't care about the PG stuff. I can say all the games on N64 were stellar. I actually thought this game looked nice. I'm surprised everyone is saying it looks so bad. Of course my favorite wrestling game right now is Wrestling Empire which is not known for it's graphics, but that game is FUN. And I care more about Fun than graphics.

So I got the Splatoon/Smash Brothers Wii U as a gift. I wanted it for Smash Brothers, because I thought Splatoon looked stupid. I was incredibly, incredibly wrong. Splatoon was the most played game on my Wii U and I posted so much about it on the Splatoon Reddit they grew to want me to shut up. haha I imported the clothes from Japan when you couldn't buy them in the US. I still buy their splatfest shirts. All and All, this game just speaks to me because I do not like violent shooters. A few years ago I just got tired of all the lifelike violence and I do not think shooting people is a fun excursion. I do not like glorifying violence. But with Splatoon, I'm not killing people, i'm popping squids with ink, not bullets. So I can get my shooter fix without having to watch gore and violence. The music is dope, and the variety is amazing for the weapons and clothes. This is my favorite game series ever and I look forward to new content.

If they EVER re-release Eternal Darkness from the Gamecube on Switch, I'll subscribe to the premium service. If not, I'll keep the basic so that I can play Splatoon online. Also, why have they not remastered Eternal Darkness? That game would print money.

@Desrever Flounder Heights was one of my favorite stages from the original. It actually showed you a map of the level IN the level on a wall with how much had been inked by each team.

It was also one of the most aggressive maps in the first game because you had to fight hard in the center.

I think for me what would have had me hooked to Arms more would be if the different fighters played differently. I felt like since all their arms could be changed, so many of them played the same and it was like the same fighter over and over. I remember when it came out I really WANTED to like this game, but after a couple of hours I just didn't enjoy it. Splatoon is a way better time suck

I'm looking forward to this. I will wait until it is on sale to buy, but definitely happy to see the effort put into this. Hope it sells well so other developers take note. (And yes, I know I said I would buy it on sale). $40 doesn't seem too bad but if it was $20 I would buy it day one. I'm ok picking it up at $29 though.

The orange one looks more red. If it was actually Orange I think it would look pretty cool.

I actually have better connections with this game than I did 2. I get way less frustrated with lag. However I do have a lot of people dropping from matches, including myself which I didn't deal with on 2 very often. EDIT: Forgot to mention that Rainmaker is far and away my favorite mode.

Are there any pictures of the back of the Splatoon switch? I'd like to see that before making a decision.

@Yapzhiyuan1994 Yeah. I was interested originally when it came out but was so glitchy. I did not know if they ever patched it. Now Wrestling Empire came out so I just play that.

@Not_Soos I agree, I do not think that is a wise decision on Nintendo's part. I think if you participated and didn't get it, 30 tickets is fine. If you didn't even try then pay 45 tickets or something like that.

@thinkhector Yeah, unfortunately for some of them, if you didn't play that weekend, you cannot go in and buy it. You are only able to go in and buy with tickets if you played that event but didn't hit 100 points. I am super excited for this because I have all of them but 4 of them listed here so I can finally collect the set!

I usually do not want old games like this. Not saying I'm spoiled to today's graphics and gameplay, but I just do not find a lot of fun in most older games. However, Yars Revenge is an all time great. I also love that they will have Jaguar games. I had a Jaguar and I'm sad it crashed and burned so hard. I'll buy this game once it's out to support my first gaming system and love of gaming (the 2600)

I used to really like Rival Turf. Mostly because there was a code so you could change every characters name in the game. And because it had a hidden area which Final Fight didn't.

@RupeeClock Thank you for this! If the NL post had this pic, I would have went with Japan. I thought the Japan one was cool but looked too blurred. I feel kind of dumb for not realizing it was just a bad scan.

@duffmmann this is exactly what I was thinking. Having the ability to sync your phone to the game and tap to jump. There were a couple of specials I liked better in the first game but this was the number one thing I missed. Tap to Jump

@alexybubble Thank you so much for this. And thanks to @Ralizah for teaching us all how to do spoiler quotes. I had no idea. Ralizah is awesome!

@JasmineDragon I'm curious as well. I did not know this was a genre until today and when I looked up this game, didn't see anything that people said were negative.

@Mauzuri 100% agree. This game is amazing and the others don't hold a candle to them

I have every single Lego Dimensions set and I'm still sad they didn't do a season 3. So even though this is a completely different concept, I think I'll give it a try.

I only pre-order if it is a game I think I will absolutely LOVE (Splatoon 3) or a game that comes with something really cool (for Animal Crossing I got the free totebag from Target). Instead of pre-order, I usually wait for games to go on sale because I have enough to play already. But for the right swag, or if it is something I REALLY want to support the developer, I'll pre-order.
