How is this game with 2 players on the same console? You can't go online together right you can just do 1v1?

 

[Sesuadra]

Yup, that's what they said in the Direct but personaly, I didn't tried it yet.

I tried it, tomorrow I'll get headphones for my girl ^_^
I hope he really delivers, you can never trust those sea urchin

Yes, it's okay. 30fps in the dojo

 

[Gestault]

You can switch to dual analog and set sensitivity in the settings

I might have missed it, but I'm almost sure you can't do that while in a match. I was only able to access those settings from the menu in the plaza. Me and a friend were trading off the controller in matchmaking, and he plays inverted. And you definitely can't combine motion with normal dual-stick control.

 

[Blunoise]

Really need some more gaffers to play with. Look me up as blunoise

 

[Haines]

So if I bought squid boy and girl amiibo BC they had no triple packs left I can't get the squid separately?

Kind of sucks.

 

[Mdk7]

Just a cool note on the final boss, if you play it again after beating it, you get different dialogue. Pretty sweet.

Final boss is boss of the year so far.

Even more than that IMHO.

 

[Burnburn]

You see what happens when someone disconnects?

The other team gets 77% map coverage.

You think that's bad, I just was the only player left on my team on skatepark... I only got 5%

 

[Haines]

Also this game feels very heavily design favored for the motion controls. The sticks feel clunky where motion I forget I'm even using them.

Maybe I will change my mind as I play more but that's the impression I'm getting so far.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Even more than that IMHO.

Boss of the generation so far.

Just finished up the single player. Final stage + end credits are amazing. This game is begging for an official OST. Final boss is my favorite character in the game

Spoiler

An octopus who is also a DJ AND uses wasabi to handle his turn tables. COME ON! It's just too good

Spoiler

Your avatar is too good XD But yeah, the final boss is fantastic.

I don't think I'd go that far but the only real competition it has in that regard are games that are on Wii U (TW101, Tropical Freeze) so

Wii U for best console for bosses this generation

 

[Capra]

Just spent the past 5 hours marathoning through the single player campaign.

That final boss! That music! Those credits!

Purrfect!!

Yeah, boss design has really kinda deteriorated over time, hasn't it.

 

[Strider]

81.5% to 6% XD

Holy shit we destroyed them.

 

[Oidisco]

Man, when the lag is bad it can completely screw you over.

I was firing at some enemy ink and nothing happened for about seconds, and then suddenly the whole area just turned to my teams colour. Then I exploded, and a few seconds later one of those Kraken things swam by.

 

[Dr. Buni]

I admit it was a bit of a hyperbole, although I can't think of any TW101 bosses which are better than the fb in Splatoon. I am ashamed to admit I haven't picked up TF yet.

(if 3DS counts then there are some great bosses in Kid Icarus Uprising)

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

There should be some kind of balance thing for whenever someone disconnects. Like disabling the full team's special weapons or something.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Ive won 5 battles in a row!

 

[CPCunha]

I'm the kind of guy that usually quits the game before turning the system off... is there a way to go back to the title screen or should i just hit the home button?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

this slow moves

so uh Japan likes this game ?

Hit home button and close software.

There's always the tenacity ability, I guess.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Make that 6!, or 7, lost count.

 

[Dice]

That's the craziest I've heard yet.

 

[Strider]

That's the craziest I've heard yet.

Yea it was on Warehouse map and they couldn't even leave the spawn.

That's the worst map to me. Too narrow and not enough mobility options.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

I had a great Kraken dodging moment. I simply jumped over it. I guess the opponent did not know about its jump attack. Best thing is I was gutsy enough to retreat wait for them to transform back and then KO them.

That said I really can't break the 8.0 barrier on streaks. Something will happen to ruin it...if it even gets that high to begin with. There have been occasions where I'm stuck at 1.0

So if I bought squid boy and girl amiibo BC they had no triple packs left I can't get the squid separately?

Squid is sold on its own in Japan. They also have shortages

There's always the tenacity ability, I guess.

I use custom splattershot jr. Echolocating more often isn't going to help so much here

 

[Lucario]

So if I bought squid boy and girl amiibo BC they had no triple packs left I can't get the squid separately?

Kind of sucks.

Apparently some Toys R Us stores got more 3-packs than they could sell yesterday, so it's probably worth it to call around.

The squid was also sold separately in Japan. I've seen imports selling for around ~25.

Alternatively, if you wait a week or two, you'll probably see a lot of used squids on ebay from people who already unlocked the content.

 

[Dice]

I do think there should be a Mario Kart-esque grace feature for that kind of situation. Like when you have them at spawn and they need to be able to exit to fight you, but they can't exit when you keep painting where they paint. It just doesn't feel good from either side of the situation. Maybe after 3 deaths in a certain short amount of time, have them spawn with full special?

 

[victreeb3l]

I'm on single player and on the second area, I cant find the sixth level and the last zapfish of that area. I inked the entire place but I dont see any new levels.

Does some level have more than one zapfish? This is driving me nuts

 

[B00TE]

17-0 with krak on roller. Hahahahaha.

 

[Nosgotham]

There should be some kind of balance thing for whenever someone disconnects. Like disabling the full team's special weapons or something.

I think there's an ability to fill your special meter instantly if you are outnumbered. It's something, I guess

 

[foxuzamaki]

GOD I kick ass at this game!

 

[Qurupeke]

You should feel sorry for the team you destroyed.

 

[Saint Gregory]

I've had high level people on my team with 0 points. How is this even possible???

 

[Leatherface]

Love love love love love this shiiiiiit!

 

[Dr. Buni]

There is always one zapfish per level.

I've had high level people on my team with 0 points. How is this even possible???

Probably people who got dcd from the match.

 

[Chaos17]

I've had high level people on my team with 0 points. How is this even possible???

People said it's because of dicsconnect, personally, I don't know.

 

[Qurupeke]

Disconnect maybe?

 

[Heng]

I've had high level people on my team with 0 points. How is this even possible???

It's usually a disconnect that gives them the 0 points

 

[Rebel Leader]

What does the red dot on the tank mean?

 

[MouldyK]

Now much you need to use sub weapon.

 

[Nanashrew]

I had a Link and Lonk in my match just a minute ago.

 

[Violet_0]

my sniper duels with the japanese guy (lvl 16 to my lvl 14, he was really good) ended with a "nice!" after I counter sniped him three times in a row

I the only person who even killed him in the last 5 or so matches

 

[EndlessSky]

Lol, that area got me too. Just look on all the pillars, they're mostly there.

 

[Neiteio]

Wow. That final boss. Wow.

I'm not even exaggerating here when I say it has to be one of, if not EAD's best designed boss by far. It almost feels as insane as a regular boss designed by Platinum. What a great way to cap the game off.

Also that credits sequence is fantastic.

Spoiler

Those scribbles are incredibly cool and I love how charming it is in terms of world building. Especially loved how they depicted Inklings and Octolings together.

The music was also one hell of a jam.

Just having that sequence made me really think about how happy I am about Nintendo actually doing this. It turned out to be everything I could ever ask for and more from a Nintendo IP. I'm so goddamn happy this game exists.

All of this. The final boss is incredible.

 

[sonto340]

Guys I've died as the kraken quite a few times.
It is not invincible.

 

[Revolutionary]

It's got a shit ton of health, then. I've had my mine go off right after it killed me and it didn't even flinch

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Sometimes I feel like I'm playing hide and go seek with these players.

Sooner or later your gonna run out of ink to hide in. I'ma find you.

 

[Beelzebufo]

This game is really fun, but does feel barebones. The clean art style doesn't help lol.

Really feels like a budget title (like it is in non American places)

 

[victreeb3l]

Nvm, found the last level. Hidden in plain sight -_-

Lol, that area got me too. Just look on all the pillars, they're mostly there.

I got all the pillars. The one I was missing was the one in the left in a pool with the long bulge sticking out. I dont know what thats called lol

I painted everything around it except the bulge itself.
