WoomyNNYes

I'm very interested if the game plays well.

Crossing fingers for next gen being backward compatible with switch physical games.

@Axecon Unfortunately, no. It's one player per console.

Splatoon 3's eshop page details:

"Number of Players: Single System (1), Local Wireless (2-8), Online (2-8)"

I've grown too cynical to believe Metal Gear will come to the Switch. Prove me wrong konami.

I could leave my switch on for 7000 hours overnight by mistake so easily. I'm still very worried.(😁😉)

I don't recall people or competitors complaining & blaming the tick rate on Splatoon 2. I'm not worried.

After playing standard spaltfest for a couple hours, I didn't have the mental bandwidth to learn, or try, the new Tricolor Battle mode. I suppose I'll try it after the full game releases.

I see MK8 & MK7 as being roughly the same, since they mostly play the same. I like them both!

I just like the look of shooting yellow ink.🤣😁

Of course it's japan only. They get some cool stuff.

Sounds like the demo went live in UK around 12-1am (based on the Splatoon 3 thread). Still not live in north america - we're 5-8 hours behind depending on time zone. I don't plan on staying up for it to go live in the US.

Oh, wow. That's amazing.

Would like to see how they made that, because that looks super time consuming to paint each step, or even to roll out a skin, it doesn't look easy.

@AlexOlney If you want to help future Splatoon newbs, I think the Splatoon 3 review should mention that painting walls & vertical surfaces doesn't count for Turf War. Nothing in Splatoon 2's tutorial, or Nintendo's videos, ever make that point, I don't think. I was painting walls like a fool in Splatoon 2 for so long. It was so sad.🤣😁 (I know you're a busy guy. No need to reply)

I think we also need to tell newbs that painting walls & vertical surfaces doesn't count for TurfWar. I made that mistake for a while when I was a Splatoon 2 newb. (so sad🤣) Nothing in Splatoon 2's tutorial mentioned it.

It was the later levels of Splatoon 2 single player (base game & octo) where the level desgin got more innovative and impressive. I await the full game review at release. Otherwise, this hands-on hasn't really changed anything for me. I would expect something a bit more unique from a next gen console Splatoon.

How did they pitch this and succeed? So odd.

Yup. Preloaded and ready to go. I'm psyched. Really looking forward to the tutorial and seeing Splatsville.

Oh, wow. Thanks for sharing Kate. I'll check the videos out later.

Obviously, team yellow looks coolest. That's what I'll pick.

My body is ready!

Splatoon 2 is the most played nintendo game on my console. Bring it!

@Would_you_kindly If Nintendo ever makes a console that has the power to play both modern games AND Nintendo titles, my money is ready!

Looks like they dumbed it down for the american market. Not a fan of that marketing at all. I like the japanese commercials better.(saw them on nintendo japan's youtube)

I can get 999 diamonds & Giant Ancient Cores if I get rid of all stock for 100+ other items in my inventory, like food, apples, shields, bows? This doesn't look helpful to me.

Is it bad that I feel good when cloud games fail?

Cloud games succeeding will mean the eroding of game ownership as I've grew up with it and enjoy it.

@Snatcher The Splatoon 3 World Premier demo will allow acceess to play a tutorial starting Aug 25. (Stated in the expanded details on the World Premier eshop page) I imagine you will be able to pick your splatfest team then, before the 27th.

I'm hoping the World Premier demo will still have a playable tutorial playable after Splatfest. All three Splatoon 2 demos turned unplayable after their set play dates, which I always thought was kind of dumb, since Splatoon 2 only let us play see the game's tutorial once at initial boot up, and that's it. (Unless you make a new switch user save file JUST to see the tutorial again.)

Switch getting the second class release dates has gotten so old.

@EliSweetG Open the NSO icon on your switch home screen, then select Special Offers. In there you'll see a tile for that Splatoon 2 gear. I think you can get redeem codes from there. Otherwise, maybe nintendo support can help.

@Farts_Ahoy Nintnedo added the ability to transfer Splatoon 2 save data 1-2 years after the game released. I transferred my Splatoon 2 save data from my launch switch to my oled in december. You have to have both consoles on hand to transfer from an old console to a new one.

A new single player campaign dlc like the size of octo would be great!! YES PLEASE. (if that's what they mean)

Great idea. I'm into it!.

I may pick Paper for splatfest, because neon yellow looks awesome.

Good looking action in there. Looks promising.

Splatoon is the most played nintendo game on my console. I'm psyched. Bring it!

@Fizza Ahh, the ability to save more time trial ghosts from 16 to 32 now. That helps! Thanks for the heads up, @Fizza<3

What? This thing still around?

I think they need a list of games that sell 10 million or more, not just top ten.

I'm not worried.

No Switch Sports? I will wait. I only want it for bowling, and I'm tepid about it as it is.

Yeah, but where's the date KateGray!?!?
(I'm just being a smartass 😁)

You're correct Kate. "Outer Wilds" is not on the Switch. I've been waiting for that thing!

@Anti-Matter I played through story mode of Crash Team Racing yesterday.

Im so sour about buying mk8 booster pass and nintendo's stupid mysterious secrecy and failure to deliver the paid dlc in a predictable or satisfactory manner, and mk8 being last gen console game. I don't trust them with Mario Kart anymore. Is it a flagship title or not?

...yet another comment soured by the deeply disappointing cloud-only versions of the games.

Better than anything Team Sonic touches.(?) This looks great!! Team Sonic management would have axed this, I bet, if their own devs made it. (Just my opinion.)

Ehh. It's fine? Not exciting.

For the most part, I've always thought the most recent console Mario Kart tends to be the best. Come on MK9!<3

I miss MK64's "EEEEEE" drift effect. XD

Now that I have shiny, new, modern Shredders Revenge, I'm not sure I still want TMNT arcade.

@Palico82 Yeah, I get the feeling they are getting ahead of themselves touting performance improvement with a rebuilt game. I'm sure it's not easy, though.

That's cheating. To demonstrate performance of the new Ultimate Edition, they show a desert with few trees? Every time I've seen the game, there's always forest with LOTS of trees. Looks like they're trying to scam us.

@Scapetti Unfortunately, Disney's kart racer is going to be free to play. (disregard, if you were aware) We'll see if Disney can do better than Chocobo GP.
Disney: Speedstorm

I had a good time with Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 single player campaign.

Looks cool. Too gory for me.
