Re: Nintendo Treehouse: Live Presentation Set For This Thursday

@Rykdrew I see. My opinion is that the casuals will get attracted later, when updates add something trendy. No harm in looking at it later when something genuinely cool happens. Having one thing like that at launch besides tricolour turf wars, which is currently locked behind an event, would be lovely.
I think that they're hiding their hand with story stuff, but not anything super-duper amazing.
I think this is bad marketing because their methods feel similar to NEO:The world ends with you, where the fans were meant to carry the game's sales by word of mouth.
Splatoon 2 is a snapshot of what the game was right now, and currently Splatoon 3 is close to that snapshot… If Splatoon 3 does not shift away from 2 with time. I am not getting Splatoon 4. I barely remember Splatoon 2's updates, so perhaps that's a bad sign, but I was a teenager with a ton going on then, so I don't really know for certain.

@sixrings all range mode could take some inspiration from command and let you draw your own rails and let the player deviate infinitely vertically and limited to the camera horizontally. the wii u gamepad was a perfect opportunity to try something like this. I don't think they thought of anything like this.

@sixrings All Range, Free Range Flying Chicken, Drone, and Wolfen battles were all headaches to deal with, The on rails segments though... It's a shame they're locked behind the other ways to play.

I think Starlink looks initially fun, Zero was fun to control at times, but there were a couple missions where the objective felt impossible (Wolfen space battle, Drone sneaking), and others where the multitasking gave me motion sickness. Pilots need training to actually fly, how do you expect me not to get sick with the gamepad. Guard I haven't really seen beyond the occult gamexplain vid. Assualt, Adventure, and 3D 64 just aren't my cup of tea, for reasons like (Performing perfectly in missions is ultra difficult, [Zero gets a pass because I liked the gamepad better for the on rails segments than the free range chicken segments], or Krystal's outfit makes me uncomfortable, she doesn't seem like the type to OWN that outfit, why the heck would she buy it or make it, and put it in her closet.)
