Why haven't I made a thread about this yet?
So as some of you may or may not know, Nintendo is developing a new IP, which is the third person shooter known as Splatoon. Aside from it's core multiplayer gameplay, and the announcement of a single player mode, nothing much is known aside from that, although hopefully we will be getting some news regarding the game come the Nintendo Direct tommorow. Either way, I know I'm super excited for this game, and I've been anticipating it since E3 last year!
But I'm curious as to you guy's thoughts for this game~ c:

Unfortunatly, I don't have a Wii U, but my friend does, and he is FREAKING OUT over this game. It'll be the first shooter he really ever played. Personally, I like the look of the game a lot, the only problem is I can see my friend nagging me to play it with him every weekend.

Are you serious?

Well, technically he played a Quake Arena before, but he was too young to remember most of it. He was in single digets of age when he played that, and he hasn't played a shooter since, and he's 18 now.
Title: Re: Splatoon
Post by: Shadow Mare on 2015 Jan 14, 13:28:03
Quotehe's 18 now.

So he's 18 and hasn't touched a shooter since Quake? No COD, Gears, Battlefield, Perfect Dark, Golden Eye, Garden Warfare, TF2, Half-life, Far Cry, Doom?
Title: Re: Splatoon
Post by: Chromastone64 on 2015 Jan 14, 14:17:19
Nope. He only has a Wii U. He's had a Wii and a PS2 before, but no games like that. He mainly just had things like Spyro before, and he prefers to stick with the handhelds. It's mainly his parents; they have a flipping VICE on his money.

I'm actually looking forward to Splatoon.  It's one of the very, very few games I want for the Wii U.
Title: Re: Splatoon
Post by: Itty Bit on 2015 Jan 14, 19:14:03
Haha, so this is sort of unrelated, but I recall saying earlier that if Tingle was a playable character, I would end up getting Hyrule Warriors now. Looks like it's time to finally play it!

So anyway, as I thought we got some new info about the game today, albeit a lot of the game looks like stuff I would have guessed would be in it.


I really, really love the sea anemone shopkeeper.

Hyrule Warriors is another one I wanted to get.  They all just looked super interesting, and actually made me want to get the new-gen console (I'm not much of a console gamer).  I'm really, really looking forward to Splatoon, and all that it comes with.
Title: Re: Splatoon

Wonder if this game is even gonna be good?
Title: Re: Splatoon
Post by: Chromastone64 on 2015 Jan 15, 02:12:07
Speaking of Hyrule Warriors, me and my friend thought Skull Kid was basically confirmed as a character for the Majora's Mask Pack. However, literally a day before the direct aired, I suddenly thought "Wait, what if they add in TINGLE?!"
A day and a direct later...sigh.
But I'm loving the whole hub area for Splatoon. Reminds me a LOT of Modnation Racers.

This is honestly one of the new titles coming out this year that i'm excited about. IT seems like a kinda TF2 twitchy shooter and it seems like it could have really good compatibility between the amiibos and the character customization (like special outfits/weapons etc). I've already got it pre-ordered and i'm also interested in seeing if they'll release DLC down the road for it (additional maps, etc) since they seem to be branching out a bit in that way with games like mario kart 8
Title: Re: Splatoon

I definitely think it looks fun! It's certainly new, I'm excited to see how it plays out!

Gosh, so much more info has come out!
New multiplayer modes, weapons, and even amiibo functionality!
I'm getting pretty excited for this game. I'll be looking forward to May 29th ^-^

Ah! Finally somebody posts here so I don't feel bad about triple posting! XD
I totally would be down with Inklings in Mario Kart, but moreso, I'd think it would be cool to see them appear in Smash Bros! But aside from seeing future cameos, I'm more hyped about the game itself coming out in just 9 days! This game feels like a breath of fresh air, as it really is it's own thing, and I'm loving every bit of it so far.

Speaking of which, has anybody else gotten to try to the Global Testfire the past week ago or so? It was a lot of fun, and there is even another about to happen on the 23rd!
Title: Re: Splatoon
Post by: Jenzy on 2015 May 20, 20:39:28
It's strange how quiet this group got. Come on, gotta get HYPED!! Splatoon is almost here!

I haven't been able to join in the Global Test Fire, and I don't think I'll be able to make it on Saturday, because of other plans.  ono

But meeting with family and friends are important. I guess I can wait.


Oh yeah, I also made my Koopaling persona an Inkling. A Koopa-ink-ling if you will...  lol
Word play is fun


The game hasn't even released yet, and I'm already making fan art. :P

I suppose being a new IP, most people are feeling uncertain about it, since it's sort of all on it's own. Though that being said, I certainly hope it sells well.
I even made my own bit of fanart awhile back, though both are pretty dated, and I'm sure I could do better.

Ooh, lovely work! Also, I heard that I'm actually staying home this Saturday, so I'll be able to partake in the Splatoon Global Test Fire after all! Hooray!!






Then one day remains 'til Splatoon's release day.

I colored something just in time for release~

Post by: Jenzy on 2015 Jun 04, 16:42:32
Splatoon has been super fun so far. Shame that no one's been commenting. So I guess I'll leave my thoughts on it.

Regular Battles have been pretty fun. Something I find annoying with it is that our teams are randomized, when we're with friends. They did mention in the Nintendo Direct that they'll update that, so I guess I'll just need to have fun, while knowing some of my friends are rivals.

Ranked Battle gets pretty intense. But it doesn't feel fair. Sometimes it's a struggle to be on a weak team, or completely dominating in a winning team. You'd be lucky to stay in a winning team to improve your ranking. It's annoying, but it is a nice "competitive" mode.

I like a lot of the Shooters with good fire rate and decent range. I've been good with the Splattershot Jr. and Aerospray MG. Despite my horrible start with the Inkbrush, I ended up getting good with it and liking it, other than the button mashing. lol

The Krak-On Roller is best roller!

Splatfest with USA and Europe differ.

The third Splatfest will be Roasting Marshmallows over the fire, or Roasting Hot Dogs over the fire?
For Europe, it's North Pole vs. South Pole.

So apparently the next Splatfest is going to be Autobots vs Decepticons, which seems totally weird! I mean before, we had such stock choices like Cats vs dogs, or Waterslides and Rollercoasters, but now we are picking based on transformers? XD

But yeah, now there's a reason the game said there would be product placements. Here's hoping for Celestia VS Luna one day! ^-^
Title: Re: Splatoon
Post by: Itty Bit on 2015 Aug 18, 16:51:27
What, Gamexplain? What does that have to do with this?

I think it would be possible to see some sort of MLP themed splatfests in the near future, since Transformers is a part of Hasbro. I personally think this is just a one time thing, but It would be pretty neat!
I wonder how most of the kids on miiverse would react to it though. XD
Title: Re: Splatoon
Post by: Chromastone64 on 2015 Aug 18, 18:07:35
Gamexplain released a vid on the splatfest probably less then half an hour before you posted about it here. Thought that was where you heard about it.
Anyway, let's hope there's more Splatfests like this.
Title: Re: Splatoon
Post by: Fluffy Cloud on 2015 Aug 18, 20:33:52
I really wasn't expecting Transformers to be a Splatfest theme, but okay! I'm going to pick Autobots, because freshness is the right of all sentient beings!

Also, I'm really not sure which side to pick for this Splatfest. I'm not really a TRANSFORMERS fan.


Also, it'd be neat to know who has Splatoon, and if we've added each other. It'd be nice to meet up in Regular, Private, or Squad Battles...

We should do a Private Battle some time, where we just squid around instead of doing serious Turf War. For fun. :D
(And we don't earn points in Private Battle anyway. More fun squidding around when not around people with serious Turf Warring)
The other Ranked Battle modes are also in Private Battle, without affecting our ranks. It's all about having fun and squiddin' around. :P

There is an upcoming update for Splatoon.

You can read the Patch Notes for Splatoon Ver. 2.2.0 here! (http://splatoon.nintendo.com/assets/media/splatoon-patch-v2-2-0-notes.pdf)

Also, you can plan out battles and check the status of your friends using SplatNet. (https://splatoon.nintendo.net) All you have to do is log in with your Nintendo Network ID, similar to using Miiverse. (https://miiverse.nintendo.net) Both are connected, so logging out from SplatNet also logs you off Miiverse.
