Like, for real, the moment I saw the squid girl design, I was thinking about how to make that squid hair tenticle thing. This game is charming as fuck.

 

[SmokeMaxX]

Yeah, I'm hoping Nintendo is smart enough to pack it full of different modes. Lots of maps, different gameplay types, and loads and loads of weapons.

Yeah I commented on this in the Treehouse thread. I'll just copy and paste my thoughts from there.

I like how it says "Turf War" at the beginning of every game. It gives me hope that there will be different game modes. I can just imagine Capture The Flag with these mechanics. Zipping in and out of enemy bases. It'd be like oldschool laserhook Quake 2 CTF. Don't disappoint me Nintendo!

It gives me hope that the game could turn into something as fast as this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEuUNhjSF-A

Here's a match from a server I used to play on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TItufts4oOY

I saw the bomb, bazooka and steam roller.

There was a bit in the Digital event vid that looked like a sniper rifle was used. I think.

Yep, there was a sniper rifle. I can probably get a screenshot if you can give me 5 minutes.

 

[Shaanyboi]

is this confirmed to be an eshop exclusive?

 

[VanWinkle]

is this confirmed to be an eshop exclusive?

I never even knew it was rumored to be?

We haven't heard anything about that AFAIK.

 

[Neiteio]

is this confirmed to be an eshop exclusive?

Eh? Whoever said it's an eShop title? It looks like retail to me.

 

[explodet]

The fanart has started.

 

[gngf123]

The fanart has started.

Oh good, solid fanart that isn't rule 34.

 

[explodet]

Oh good, solid fanart that isn't rule 34.

Yeah, there's a reason I haven't posted any more.

 

[Riposte]

This was a huge surprise and looks fresh and with a lot of potential. My concern is that they don't think over all the implications and the game turns out to be less fun to play at higher levels of skill.

 

[Mortemis]

Best surprise of E3 to me. This looks extremely fun, the more they talked about it the more I was hoping they'd say 2014, but whatever I'm getting this.

I feel like this game is made for a 2x2x2x2 online mode. I feel like that's where it would really shine.

Can you imagine all those colors around the field? I really hope they do that too.

Didn't they say earlier that they wanted Squid Girl in the game?

 

[Neiteio]

Oh good, solid fanart that isn't rule 34.

As though the Internet would create Rule 34 about a game where young girls cover each other in sticky flui---

Oh

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Game sounds damn fun. One of the best of Ninty's showing

As though the Internet would create Rule 34 about a game where young girls cover each other in sticky flui---

Oh

Eh? Whoever said it's an eShop title? It looks like retail to me.

I did see it on Amazon.com for preorder. In any case, this had me smiling so much, loved to see the creators of this game introducing it themselves! Nintendo's gotta build a userbase of online connected players so this and their many other titles should be helpful in doing that.

 

[joshbob1985]

Nice work. I expect the different weapon types will add even more layers to the mechanics.

Nintendo wins E3.

 

[gillty]

Game of the show? on WiiU? oh no.

 

[Boss Man]

A legitimate twist on a multiplayer shooter, paint me interested (and shoot me dead). I hope it's full of interesting modes and features to justify full price.

 

[TSM]

Is this going to be a full retail title or an eshop game? I assume full retail. The marketing on this looks kind of tough in the US. How did Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare do (seems like the closest recently released title)?

 

[Mesoian]

Game of the show? on WiiU? oh no.

People don't think that's how it be, but it do.

Seriously though, it's not my game of show, but it is a must buy if they make it feature rich.

 

[Lijik]

Just want to say that I find press ZL to squid hilarious for some reason.

ZL To Squid is a strong contender for the OT title

 

[sniperpon]

I felt like a kid all over again watching this game, I just want to go play it; and after all of the gritty gray/brown dudebro Hollywood shooters from the Microsoft and Sony presentations, this was a breath of fresh air. "Game of the show" for me.

 

[Derphoof]

More good fan art

 

[VanWinkle]

Gotta say, I'm not really a fan of those character models.

 

[Cyrano]

The fanart has started.

This is the best thing.

Still... rainbow ink Nintendo. Make it happen!

 

[Riposte]

Gotta say, I'm not really a fan of those character models.

The overall character design is pretty good (see: fan art), but the heads are too big in the actual game.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Splatoon for Smash Bros!!!!

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

Splatoon for Smash Bros!!!!

Exactly what I thought! Nintendo's gone and did it, created a new IP with Smash Bros worthy characters!! The look of the squid kids(Inklings) are simple and catchy, perfect hook designs and very much Nintendo!!

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Simply perfect!

A charming, unexpected new IP, made by Nintendo internally, introducing lovely new characters and new dynamic worlds in addition to brilliant looking new gameplay, and to top it off it's an online multiplayer shooter!

WOW

Together with everything else shown, this E3 is on the way to become the best Nintendo E3 ever, and it's not even over yet!

 

[Brashnir]

Wait.

You're telling me that a new IP was announced which is actually based around a new gameplay idea?

At E3?

Is this real life?

 

[Grinchy]

This was the highlight of the Nintendo showing for me. Looks so awesome.

 

[Currygan]

Looks really funny. As a deBlob orphan this is the closest to that concept Ive seen, so its on my radar!

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

The biggest question of all:

Do we say it like SPLÄ-toon, or like spla-TOON? This will come to create a minor schism in the inevitable Miiverse community.

 

[gogogow]

This looks like so much fun and it has really unique gameplay mechanics. I also really like the character designs. Hope this game will turn out well.

Splat Platoon, so I pronounce it Splat-oon

Probably spla-TOON like platoon.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Yes, if it's just a multiplayer game with one mode and nothing else, it's a no go from me. But flesh out the multiplayer, maybe have a cool single player campaign(like De Blob maybe), and I'm definitely interested.

 

[KratosEnergyDrink]

I want to play it now!

The most interesting shooter game at E3.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

This game looks very fresh and interesting. I think Nintendo is really onto something here.

 

[yencid]

 

[EloquentM]

Lmao^^

 

[catmario]

This is Best E3 Nintendo game thus far.

Nintendo make unique shooter game.

 

[prag16]

I don't think the people complaining about Nintendo Network have played MK8/MH3U online. Both work on par with my online experiences on other consoles.

Now whether or not Nintendo chooses voice chat is an other story (they should), but if PS360 shooters can handle vfoice chat during shooters, I don't see why this shouldn't be able to.

CoD on Wii U has feature parity with all other platforms. The account system is lacking but the infrastructure gets a bad rep for no reason. The complaints are way the hell overblown.

 

[Bulbasaur]

The innovation of this game replaced Open World Zelda as my favorite moment of the show. Those 3 stoners are to be commended.
