Anyone know if it will have English subs? All I need.

@Agramonte You can have the opinion that a game you love is better than one that's more popular in a different part of the world. I just dont think it's sad that Splatoon 2 is beating BOTW in Japan since BOTW is still selling really well. It just shows how big Splatoon is there and Nintendo fans should be happy that a new Nintendo IP is doing so well and selling like hot cakes.

Yes please.

@Agramonte How is it sad? They are both great games selling well. Japan just loves their Splatoon because it's a really fresh competitive game that mirrors Japanese culture in a lot of ways.

@Hikingguy I am pretty sure most people in Japan don't play Splatoon in handheld mode since they play competitively. I don't get why people are trying to crap all over the fact that Splatoon is huge in Japan. Another title: Splatoon 2 hits 2 million before Game of the Year Breath of the Wild. Seem more impressive now?

@NinNin @Aerona Yeah so it's probably closer to 40% attach rate. Not to mention it's their highest selling Switch game in Japan to date.

I love following the competitive Splatoon community. Congrats on getting Flare and BluRacer on the NL team!

Splash down is amazing when you super jump or use it from jumping off a high ledge. People that say it sucks just aren't using it right lol it's not a win button

@JaxonH I wouldn't worry about his opinion lol. People are going to gobble Splatoon 2 up, especially in Japan. The game is always changing and there is so much to do, this is going to be a huge hit on Switch for a very long time. It's so exciting that Nintendo has found their online shooter and they know exactly how to keep it alive for awhile.

It's really sad to see some of the Splatoon hate. As someone that's played the original for more than 500 hours, I can see so many improvements to the original. Improved graphics, 2 hour rotation time instead of 4, an actual co-op mode, and no more invincibility specials!! Bye bye kraken and bubble!

New New 2DS lol. "From here on out, no girlfriend or girlfriend talk at practice. Whether they're old, new, or new new."

I actually love Neo Bowser City once I learned how to drift properly on it. It is so beautiful, too!

@ThatNyteDaez I remember reading that same wording too. I think the US Tumblr put this up awhile ago.

I have played the first two packs and can't wait for Pack 3 on the Switch! Seriously one of the best party games around! It's something you need to play with friends to really understand what's so fun about it.

I was initially interested in this, but it's a little alarming that it's taking so long to release. I get that they are a small team but this game doesn't look like it needs more than 4.5 years to make.

@Nico07 Snipperclips is only $20 so I can many Switch owners
downloading it in March

I feel like this game should be $40 max and 1-2 Switch should be $30 max. Like others have said, I will just wait for price drops for these two games. However, it is a bit disappointing that there won't be a multiplayer game at launch that I am picking up.

EDIT: Also, I think they are priced high because of the lack of launch games. They know people want to try out HD rumble and they know people want a good multiplayer game. So sales for both games are going to be great because of that. If these games were released a year or two into Switch's life cycle then no way would they be this expensive.

This is my favorite game on the Wii U. I bought it thinking I would just like it, but wow did this impress me! I have now put 475 hours into the game and I can say I enjoyed every hour. Can't wait for this sequel, even if they are just playing it safe. This franchise doesn't need a huge shakeup just yet.

@Megas I can see a "Mario Kart 9" on Switch but I don't think it would come out until 2019 or so.

@chardir Agreed. Wii Play was $60 for game/controller and 1-2 Switch is $50 w/ no controller. 1-2 Switch does not look like it's worth $50. $30 at the very max.

@DTFaux Same. This game looks like a lot of fun! And fortunately a game that can be enjoyed without needing to understand too much text.

For people saying 2 million units in 4 weeks is a lot: The PS4 sold 1 million units in 24 hours in North America alone. I know Sony is not necessarily direct competition for Nintendo anymore. But both Switch and PS4 are major video game consoles so the comparison seems fair. I really hope they stated 2 million so that when they sell more than that it will look good.

@8itmap_k1d Agreed. I think the games announced for 2017 (first 10 months of system release) are pretty great. At least from a 1st party viewpoint. Zelda, 3D Mario, Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Xenoblade 2, Fire Emblem Warriors, Arms, Snipperclips, 1-2 Switch. Not to mention we are still probably getting GameCube games on VC. Also, at E3 I expect to see some unannounced titles that will release Fall 2017 - Summer 2018.

People really need to remember year 1 of Wii U. A meh 2D Mario, Nintendo Land, Game & Wario, Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101. That's... a pretty bad year 1. I don't get how people are saying this year 1 lineup is bad.

Sonic Racing! Anyone who hasn't played those games needs to!

That many people like Moray..?

"Creature of the Night"

Hey Playtonic, Yooka-Laylee amiibo please!

@vitalemrecords I understand that. But what I'm saying is I should not be listed as number 1 on my team if I did great the prior 9 matches and absolutely terrible in that one match. Same goes with the opposite. I should not be listed as "worst" on my team when my past 9 games weren't that great but during that one match I dominated and my team would have lost without me.

@Fee I agree with your system. I know they have ways of calculating that stuff so that would be ideal. Combine kill/death ratio, how much turf you inked (to help your team maneuver), and how much of the zone you capture/how far you took the rainmaker/how far you took the tower.

I know there are other ways to contribute to your team. But this is not the best way to show the results. I did reallllly poopitypoop in a game and was listed as number 1 since I was doing so well in matches before. But for that game I really dragged the team down (even though we won). I think Kill/Death ratio is a better way to list people.

@Blastcorp64 The past few days every time it's Splat Zones then Saltspray is one of the maps. It's very annoying because that map is awful for Splat Zones. So not only is it appearing often but it's also only appearing often for one ranked mode. It's frustrating me, too!

Yay! I was hoping for something Splatoon related and even if this is the only thing in the direct (which I doubt) then I'm already happy!

Splatoon DLC please! I want to see playable Octolings, new maps, or a new ranked mode.

@KodyDawg I will be at the Columbus show, too!

@ShadeBurn67 Octolings would be cool. But I really just want to see another ranked mode. I'm getting a little bored of just the 3. Not to mention, you know by looking at the maps what game mode it is going to be. I don't get why they don't rotate them better.

@datshantaeguy In Banjo Kazooie you get flushed down a toilet into a pipe full of s***. This would definitely fit into a Banjo game.

@gatorboi352 That would be nice however I see why they don't give you that option. That can really split a community and they really want everyone to remain on the same page.

However, I do think the rotations need to be shorter and include 3 maps. If there were 3 maps every 2 hours with a different ranked mode I think it would encourage people to keep coming back to the game. I work 8-5 and only really have time to play Splatoon between 630-10. That means for the full 3.5 hours I am forced to play only 2 maps and one ranked mode. It sucks.

@Aromaiden Link to proof of 6 new maps coming? I thought we were only getting 2 more. I don't doubt you, just curious.

Maybe there was more to the story than this. Like it was a final straw. I can see getting punished in some way for the comments but they definitely don't scream "fire" in my opinion.

@Yalari Suction Bomb Rush is incredible for turf wars. Get up on a high ledge, start jumping and throwing bombs everywhere and watch your ink spread like crazy. It also really distracts the enemy team.

Having been on the NA winning team both times (one where popularity helped us win and one where wins helped us win) I have to say that I don't mind popularity being a factor. I just think that it should only be 1/4 of the total score instead of 1/3.

As awesome as this looks, I would not like a Mario game in these settings!

I was really against how they are handling DLC before I bought the game and disliked it when people defended them. But now that I've had the game for a few weeks I have to say it is pretty smart of them. My biggest complaint now is only having 2 maps to play on every 4 hours. I think there are enough maps now to include one in that third slot, Nintendo! Or just have all them all there and let the game randomly choose which map to play on each game.

It was awful. And embarrassing. They pretty much dug the grave for the Wii U. I'm really hoping that at next year's e3 not only do they announce NX but they also reveal HUGE games coming at (or near) launch like a true Mario and Metroid. Because they clearly have nothing to show for Wii U anymore.

I don't expect too many release dates but I could be wrong. Nintendo usually doesn't announce a release date until a couple months before release (sometimes the month before).

During Turf Wars if my team isn't doing that well then they will try to fight the opposing team by our camp. However, there is almost always a path of your team's ink to get away from the action and steal all of enemies turf. So while the 4 enemies were teaming up on my 3 not really gaining any more turf I was busy ranking up the points!

Look at the map people! It's very useful!

Sick of the outdated views on voice chat that they have but I know I'll get a lot of hate for expressing my opinion about that like always. I just feel like the people against voice chat have never used it before or never used it properly. Good interview and great game that just needs some online-mechanics polished.

@CapnCuttlefish The reviewers are in the right to review the product on what is there day 1 since they don't have the future content at their fingertips they can't really judge it. This should have been available day 1, as well as more modes and maps. It's great Nintendo is giving us this content for free, but it's because they have to in order to finally have a complete game months later.

It's fun so far but it really sucks that you can't play with friends :/ Come on, Nintendo! I hope they add this in a future update.

Our team lost by .2 and we only had 3 people on our team! Crazy how close it can be.

Inkling Yoshi would be sweet.
