Can anyone tell me if there is going to be custom lobbies where we can all meet or something?

Yes we are getting parties in august so you can invite 4 then matchmake or invite 7 others and play to your hearts content.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Holy shit the final boss is amazing!

Spoiler

I'ma remix your face!

I want a boss rush mode as DLC.

Spoiler

you slimy hipster!

 

[Gambit]

It is $59.99 here. I think it was worth paying full price for, but some might disagree.

wow. I mean I really love the game, but the content that it offers right now probably doesn't justify 60 bucks for many people.

 

[Jintor]

okay aerospray and missile combo is legit

 

[Sparrowhawk]

Doesn't a game usually start getting backlash by now?

All I'm seeing is positivity.

My only complaint is the aliasing, but I'll live.
Everything else is amazing.

Spoiler

Oh, and the unmoving clouds in Inkopolis, even though there are moving cloud shadows.

 

[Chaos17]

WTF ?! That dude jump and shoot at the same time ?

you know, I don't really notice any aliasing except in the plaza

probably because of the framerate

 

[Sparrowhawk]

WTF ?! That dude jump and shoot at the same time ?

I've done that plenty of times.

 

[rSpooky]

I was looking really forward to this game, but the lack of local game play (other then the 1v1) has me waiting for a sale I think. But I am glad to hear that the game play seems rock solid.

 

[Mister Sloane]

Before I was my copy arrived, I wondered if I should trade it in towards an digital one - my decision has been made. If I do well, I enjoy myself and if I don't... well, I still enjoy myself. I love this game.

I'm curious what everyone else highest scores are

1215 (with Krak-on Roller).

 

[Dice]

Walls don't count towards your special meter. Any surface that counts towards the special meter is counted as covered Turf.

Then we do need "Walls don't count" in the title.

Doesn't a game usually start getting backlash by now?

All I'm seeing is positivity.

The 30fps zones are painful. Horizontal tilt is not sensitive enough and you can't adjust stick sensitivity. It didn't explain that walls don't count.

There, all my complaints.

 

[The Last Wizard]

wow. I mean I really love the game, but the content that it offers right now probably doesn't justify 60 bucks for many people.

Yea, it's worse since other regions have it at a lower price point. I had a coupon so I got it for $35, otherwise I would've missed out on this.

 

[daydream]

was the ranked battle option always there? it's still locked but I don't remember the icon even being there until just now..

yeah, it's definitely been there

 

[phanphare]

yeah, it's definitely been there

haha ok, I'm just blind

probably from playing Splatoon too much

 

[Chaos17]

I've done that plenty of times.

 

[Kriken]

Part of me kind of hopes...it isn't?

I mean, it's a good game, and I obviously bought it, but I took advantage of a Best Buy glitch to do so. Making it a full price game when the intention was clearly to sell it for less probably shouldn't be rewarded.

I'm wondering if it's Europe only, Amazon Japan has it at around the same price as 3D World/MK8 launch prices. But I do agree, it seems weird for NA to make it $60 while Europe treats it like a Captain Toad/Canvas Kirby title

 

[SirUltimos]

My one and only complaint so far is that I wish the maps rotated more often. I'm starting to get a little sick of the Mall.

[The M.O.B]

Walls don't count? O_O

There goes me thinking I'm being sneaky , "Let me get all these walls because idiots always skip these"

You're not rewarding the pricing decisions of the regional branch, you're reward the quality work that has been put into the product.

One does not play too much Splatoon

 

[noshten]

I just discovered a super annoying thing.

When you disconnect due to an error you loose your win streak.
I was just just owning with a .52 Gal Deco 7 games in a row got an error and now it's showing that I lost some of the "ratings" you get from win streaks. I was HAWT +7 now I'm Smoking' 5.5

They should fix this, you should not get a loss just cause you got an error during a match.

 

[oti]

But... it's worth what people buy it for.

Shhh... Don't bring basic economics into this. People don't like them when it gets to video games and tech toys. You're right though.

 

[Ibuki]

Is there somewhere in game to check the meter for Ranked to get unlocked? I saw a picture on twitter last night, not sure if it was even in the game at all.

Barring France and Germany, I think software for the Wii U is a harder sell in that region. Maybe EU as a whole saw good results from the lower price-point of Kirby and Captain Toad and decided to go with an all-in approach to the title. Huge advertising budget + lower price point + continued updates/support for the title = success.

Maybe they felt that the lower price point in the US wasn't needed?

As European I'm used to pay more than NA most of the time (for any games and not just Nintendo), did I complained like you ?
NO! Because I do understand what regional price is even if it sucks!
It's not all about about just the game but conversion price.

Example : Witcher 3 (PS4) is 60$ in Euro it should be 53.2195 EUR but no we're paying 70 euros! And not 54 euros.

 

[Regiruler]

I finished the game and only found six of them :x

They're like "obvious star coin" level easy. If you're used to the tells of secrets, they're very easy to find.

 

[Red Hood]

I'm having a good time, but just to be sure in terms of multiplayer, there is only ONE mode with available on TWO maps? Surely I'm doing something wrong, because if so that's very, very little content.

 

[Molemitts]

I'm enjoying this game way more than in the demo. It's so good.

Question: When do new items become available in the accessory stores? Does it reset daily, or something?

I believe it's midnight system time.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Supporting the team with a charger is so sattisfying.

 

[SmithnCo]

Anyone know when Spyke lets you add more slots? Level 20?

 

[Zen_Arcade]

But... it's worth what people buy it for.

To be fair it's that kind of mentality that has led to us having to pay money just to play online on two out of three consoles. Sometimes what people are willing to pay ends up leading to a future that screws over the consumer.

 

[WhenItsLate]

I fear the day I hit Level 20. After that it's only upgrading gear, right?
I hope one of the updates raises the level cap, I don't want this ride to end.

BTW if anyone's interested to play hit me up, my NNID is tobyish. The spreadsheet is already way too big but I'll put my ID on there regardless. Good to see so many are playing though!

 

[Doorman]

Is there somewhere in game to check the meter for Ranked to get unlocked? I saw a picture on twitter last night, not sure if it was even in the game at all.

There's nothing in-game to denote the Ranked "geese population" progress, no. My best guess is it'll probably wind up getting unlocked tonight when the day rolls over, and it will start becoming a part of the Squid Sisters' broadcasts.

Out of everything, my biggest complaint about the game is that, for all of the charm and creativity the game throws at the world and its characters, I still can't help but feel like "Inkopolis" is just a really lame, by-the-numbers name for the city. This, from the same localization team that brought us Ammo Knights? C'mon son.

 

[TheMoon]

It's not in the game. They're only posting it on twitter.

Only Turf War is available at the moment. Splat Zones and ranked is unlocked when a certain number of players reach level 10.

There are s total of five maps as of now, with two playable at any one time on a four hour rotation.

More maps are going to be released for free in the coming weeks.

They should fix this, you should not get a loss just cause you got an error during a match.

The reason it does that is because if it didn't, people would be intentionally disconnecting from games to avoid losses. Honestly, disconnects should happen rarely enough and it means so little in unranked that it doesn't matter. Just go and get that game back.

 

[Gartooth]

Finally played Urchin Underpass and got to world 4 in single player. Bloodborne got dethroned, this is now my current GOTY!

 

[Zomba13]

So yeah, that final boss is pretty good. People in this thread were kind hyping it up and I didn't think it'd deliver but it was a great final fight.

I got all the Sunken Scrolls and finished the Squid Amiibo challenges. I did not expect to unlock a new mini-game! I did wonder what the other unlock would be as 3 would be clothing, 1 would be a weapon. I assumed that the other one would be like, a different loadout of the Amiibo weapon but nope! new mini-game. I've taken a break so I don't know if you can use them in place of Squid Jump in the lobby.

I might have to hunt down a Boy Inkling Amiibo for that Samurai armour and roller and whatever mini-game he has.

I would guess that its like this to stop people from just disconnecting if they are about to lose. Sucks when you get disconnected legitimately though.

 

[mclem]

After your lvl 4(?) you can talk to urchin guy. He tells you if you go up to any of the player characters hanging out in the lobby area you can inspect them and order stuff they're wearing. 1 item per day.

Discovery of the day: You can actually place up to three orders, which will be queued up. You'll still only recieve them one-a-day.

Also, I've seen a curious pair of shoes that was two-star yet had three bonus slots. I've ordered it to take a closer look.

 

[Revolutionary]

What do mines look like to enemies? I thought they would be as visible as they are to the person putting it down but people seem to be walking right into them.

 

[oti]

Do Splatoon amiibo unlock a retro game in that other game/app?

I wanna say they are invisible.

Yes, you can replace the online lobby Squid Jump with the other Amiibo retro games if you have them unlocked. I believe you do so at the arcade cabinet in the hub? As for which games are unlocked by which amiibo, that info is all in the OP.

 

[N° 2048]

Do Splatoon amiibo unlock a retro game in that other game/app?

Been trying to figure this out too. Where are the other mini games? Can only find Squid Jump!

edit: answered above!

 

[daydream]

they are invisible until the enemy gets into proximity and triggers them

then they light up for a second and go off

 

[noshten]

It's Turf War its not ranked why would you disconnect just cause of a win streak that doesn't do anything
