Support NeoGAF

Not hyped at all for this.

Teamwork games without the ability to communicate really suck. Will be waiting for your impressions on here till I decide to get this.

Well, by my impressions of the beta tests, the lack of it wasn't such a big problem, even when my team completely ignored the objective i was still having fun, but yeah, it would be nice to have it. But them, i think with the release of the game, people will get that Turf War isn't a team deatmatch and probably will focus more on the objetive, how it should be played.

OT title not taking the easy way out is surprising.

 

[protomouse]

For reference, this is what image-based OPs look like to people who don't have embedded images enabled. The reason I entered the thread was to look for the release date, and I ended up going to Wikipedia instead.

So for the bandwidth-conscious GAFers, and those that are trying to use the search feature:
JP May 28 2015
EU May 29 2015
NA May 29 2015
AUS May 30 2015

General information for the bandwidth-concious:
The total weight of the OT on desktop is 3.5MB. On mobile it's 576KB (due to selective image serving). For currently enabled xhdpi/Retina devices (select Samsung Galaxy models), it weighs 1.5MB. All cached as per imgur standards (a year).

I hate the 1 day delay in Aus. Better than the months it used to be, but still. At least the Splatoon amiibo are in abundance here.

Let's do this!

[Neoxon]

Hurry up, Friday

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Added myself to the spreadsheet.
I'm so glad I got one of the amiibo Editions, which were basically instantly sold out on Amazon.
Now that they're back they cost 60€, which is 15€ more than Media Markt in Germany carries them for, which is ridiggidydiculous.

Friday can't come soon enough.

 

[ZeroX03]

Waiting on SP reviews before pulling the trigger on an import. Won't have a lot of time for MP or friends to play with.

How have you formulated that opinion without having played any?

 

[jariw]

Super hyped for this game, went out yesterday and bought myself a Legend of Zelda : Wind Waker limited edition WiiU, specifically just for this game! Has anyone in the UK been able to pre-order the digital version yet? Still wont let me

The NoE eShop normally updates on Thursdays.

 

[TheMoon]

might wanna add that the Wii Classic Controller (Pro) is also supported for Battle Dojo

oh and there are a few typos/grammar errors in there.

 

[Jintor]

I think the design is really uniquely turning on not actually requiring a lot of active communication. I'll wait to see how it performs in a longer set of playstyles and especially on the KOTH mode

Cheers mate, I will check again tomorrow evening after work!

Is the OT title a reference of something? I don't get it.

It was straight from the top of OP's dome man

HERE WE GO !

 

[Not]

So how many people are going to jump online without realizing the objective isn't to kill your opponents? Sounds hilarious.

 

[CaVaYeRo]

Nice OT!

Dunno if this has been posted already, but as usually happens in Spain, some retailers decided to sell the game earlier, like yesterday-today, and there's proof of users with the physical copy:

EDIT: Wow, that disc is amazing, and that gif is a way better proof! haha

 

[Griss]

I've been excited for this since the first reveal (mostly because I just love the art style) but I'd somehow avoided seeing how much content there is... And for 60 bucks, there really isn't enough, is there? I know more is coming down the line, but 5 maps, 1 mode and what looks like a pretty bolt-on SP mode for 5-6 hours, that doesn't make me want to go out and buy it at launch.

I will buy it, though. Really hope it reviews well but I doubt it due to the content thing.

 

[Bazry]

Yodel have my Special Edition plus Amiibos out for delivery today, please don't leave it in the middle of the road somewhere

 

[marc^o^]

Leclerc aligned its price with Auchan: the chain sells Splatoon at 29.90€ too.

Is that a gift to french people, or is it as cheap in other EU countries?

Did you even tried the demo before saying this ?

 

[Boney]

So wait, single player only uses the Splattershot and the only way to play it with other weapons is via the Amiibo challenges?

Mine's out for delivery too. When I saw Yodel I cried a little inside.

Oooooh didn't know there will be a Payload style mode. Maybe my favourite game mode in TF2. Puush little kart! Just hope the time limit for it is good.

I hope Nintendo continue to support this after they finish the other game modes and maps. I want post-post release content.

 

[NotLiquid]

You can get different sub weapons in Single Player from my understanding but yeah the only main weapon you get is the Splattershot.

this is too European for most here

That is correct. Singleplayer is built around the Splattershot. The Amiibo challenges are specifically made for the Splat Charger and Roller respectively and have you play the same levels again with those weapons, hence why they're extra challenges.

Sub/special weapons can be found within levels though and they can be used only in the level they're found in.

And that's why I kept losing in the Testfire(s) while getting 1000+ pts everytime T-T

 

[random25]

Still not available here. Sucks. Gonna wait till Friday then!

 

[SparksterMeta0]

.

Was expecting The Squids Next Door.

Yeah. What happened to that?

 

[HawthorneKitty]

And that's why I kept losing in the Testfire(s) while getting 1000+ pts everytime T-T

Your memory must be foggy because most 1000+ results from the bonus points for winning.

Awesome cross-game promotion. Girls Mode 2 had Animal Crossing, but this one is even better.

Love the disc art. So colorful

I've given a lot of thought to cancelling my order and waiting on a sale but everytime I watch a livestream it just looks soooo fun.

I keep going back and forth too. I didn't get chance to try multiplayer during the last test but I enjoyed the tutorial. Really curious about single player too.
