I think this would look better with it just in the background

lol

 

[TheMoon]

On media blackout-ish. Can my avatar be inked, please?

Might as well do the sequel, too.

 

[KooopaKid]

Yep my avatar deserve to be inked for this game! If someone is kind enough to do it. Don't ink it too much! Thanks!

[NotLiquid]

Famitsu posted a preview of Masahiro Anbe's collaborative Splatoon illustration

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

[Vylash]

*checks ur twitter*

[TheMoon]

Simplygames shipped on Friday already. People got theirs as early as Saturday in the UK.

 

[DaBoss]

are these all the weapons?

Yes. Then there are the ones in updates we'll get eventually.

 

[Violet_0]

amazon amiibos still sold out, meh. Gonna have to hunt them down in the shops on Friday

Got every weapons' stats: http://imgur.com/a/5xGWN

oh no the E-liter 3k has the Echolocator special and those awful ink bombs :/
Kelp Splatterscope has Killer Wail at least, probably gonna use that one. The .52 Gal Deco is also pretty nice for a machine gun-type weapon

 

[KooopaKid]

like that?

Perfect man! I like the pink, it goes well with the blue! Thanks a lot, good job!
Out of curiosity, how did you do it? Where did you get the splashes?

I just googled splatoon ink in image search, found a svg template with all those splats on it, then got frustrated because photoshop doesn't support svg, then googled how to open svg, found inkscape, a cool freeware vector image editing tool, converted it to a png there and then just copied the splats over.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Nice work

 

[DaBoss]

So if I understand this correctly, they are going to update us on the condition of unlocking Ranked Battles by using a tank that will get filled up?

[Smiles and Cries]

any bets on how long it takes?

8 HOURS!

[daydream]

Waiting for my phone to ring and my copy to arrive but it's probably for naught. Tomorrow's much more likely. *crosses fingers*

Ah I see. You probably went to pidgi.net.

Inkscape, how appropriate!

 

[Kouriozan]

I got the squid amiibo bundle + inkling boy secured, I want to be really good with the roller so I hope his challenges will be great.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

going to the mall to sell my 3DS I doubt I'll get $60 for it
need some eShop cards so HYPED

 

[jariw]

Has it been confirmed what the green squid icon (that appears on some of the weapon select screen shots) means?

Well you know. Ther are more modes to Splatoon than just the multiplayer you know.

I wonder if Amaozon.fr will ship early the game. (Ｔ▽&#65332

It means you have to unlock the weapons by collecting scrolls in single player.

And it isn't a squid icon, they are horsehoe crabs.

 

[J@hranimo]

Do we know what time exactly the review embargo will be lifted tomorrow?

 

[Exile20]

Do we know what time exactly the review embargo will be lifted tomorrow?

Wed the 27th. 7am pacific to be precise.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Someone splat my avatar.

Also, one last title suggestion:

Splatoon |OT| Let the Good Times Roll

 

[Box]

Burst Bombs are actually great for quickly splatting enemies in close range, something the 3K probably has trouble with.

Just mentioning this because you're not the first person who has said they aren't any good.

Corey from Treehouse already said on the Best Buy hangout thing that they expect this to unlock within a few days (I think he said 1-2 or 2-3 days). So I don't think that countdown thing would be of much use anyway?! *shrug*

This game is amazing. I played all weekend (for review purposes, ahem), and I ended up seeing paint in my sleep. True story!

Are you sure that it was paint you saw?

Ok cool thanks.

Will be a shame to see people overlook it because it is by Nintendo and the colorful aesthetic.

 

[Manoko]

I can't decide... Are you guys going digital or physical for your copy of the game ?

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Physical, always physical with Nintendo games.

 

[Super Rookie]

I can't decide... Are you guys going digital or physical for your copy of the game ?

Digital, want to be able to load it any time I want easily.

 

[Manoko]

Physical, always physical with Nintendo games.

Why is that ?

 

[NotLiquid]

Why is that ?

Nintendo's digital accounts probably

Also Nintendo are king at box arts

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Why is that ?

So that whenever the eShop is eventually taken down, I can still play all my Wii U/3DS games. I do have a lot of digital games on both systems, but they're mostly games only available in that format or games that I got for free.

Physical.
Cheaper, and I get it sooner.

Well, I'll have to get up to swap discs and it will make the DVD drive noisy, but hey, I can handle that.

But this game is a bit special, since much is related to online servers and post-launch content.

Splatoon |OT| you're a squid now, you're addict now

なんだこれは？イカがパンパンに膨れ上がっている。 食べすぎか？怒っているのか？と思いきや、三英貿易から例のイカのクッションが発売されるらしい。全2色だ。 「いやいや、イカのクッションて」と思うかもしれないが、これが意外とカワイイのだ。

What is this? Squid has ballooned to Pampanga. Or eat too much? Or angry? I think Ya and, apparently squid cushion of example from three British trade will be released. But all two colors. "No, no, squid of Te cushion" You might think, this is it surprisingly cute.
