Splatoon Splatfest promo

God, I am so fucking in love with this game's style. I haven't seen a game with such a visually arresting and confident aesthetic since... Persona 4. If there's ever a Splatoon anime, it needs to have that fuzzy watercolour work.
 
Nintendo needs more new fresh IPs like this one.

Also, everytime i see a japanese video, it has the comments off. Why is that?
 
You like "Spike" so much that you can't even spell his goddamn name right

For pete's sake, Village, I know you're a Shadow the Hedgehog fan, but c'mon, you can still spell correctly

One, shut your face.

Two , I wasn't calling you on your stuff when you went full on lucina boots mode again recently . You besta leave me alone

He's cool and edgy and i'm ok with this, aiight.
 
Rice vs Bread is pretty much East vs West.

What is this from, is it Yakitate!! Japan?

It was The World Ends With You for me personally, but you're totally right.

*As Village goes on his rant, the closet door behind him begins to creak open, revealing a stack of barely contained Lucina boots. Village presses his back up against the door, pretending nothing happened.*
 
Man, I just can't get over how superior Marie is to Callie. It's amazing, really, how one squid/kid pop idol can be so superior to her sister. (Sunken Scroll spoiler:
actually cousin
)
 
I was just giving you a hard time. Forgot today was the unveiling of Fire and Ice. Bad timing on my part. :-O

Oh I know, its just -retains sega related rant -

You know whats good, splatoon. Splatoon is a good video game, like the aesthetic, really liking the sky scraper stage, liking the time of day. Maybe future stages go even more into the city theme.
 
Inklings are endlessly appealing. I can look at the same two models (male and female) in 100 different outfits and never get tired of them. So much personality. Just great designs.
 
excited for more features/maps/modes/etc. this game is fantastic, just needs a tad more variety to send it over the edge
 
If we're calling teams I might have to put myself on team spyke as well.

So much style and personality with just a handful of written lines and visual storytelling.

Sea urchin. Street urchin. Black market. Drug addict. Best character.
 
Love how the whole plaza changes for Splatfest and everyone is moving to the beat.

This shot is amazing, so is the 2D animations

It just makes me wish Splatoon had some sort of replay mode, where you could save matches and watch them again from different angles and stuff. Would be so badass.

Yeah, the slow motion spin arounds alone could make for some crazy footage to manipulate.
 
Amazing trailer, love the 2d animation.

After rice vs bread, I hope they go for Coke vs. Pepsi, I wouldn't even mind in game advertisement.
 
Considering how much harder it's going to be to climb the other half of the map this one should play pretty differently. I can't wait to see people getting good and jumping down that ramp.

Makes me wonder how powerful snipers might be on that stage. It looks very open and there is good high ground.

Splatoon should be the vehicle through which life's most binary questions are answered once and for all.

To-may-to vs Toh-ma-to
Fries vs. Chips
Nintendo or Sega (as part of the Splatoon x JSR collab feat. fresh beats from Hideki Naganuma)

Imagine if Smash DLC character votes were fought through Splatfests. :lol

CALLIE: "OK, everyone — Inklings in Smash, or K. Rool in Smash?"

*fast-forward to a bare-chested Gonzo on the frontlines, inking turf with hellfire in his eyes*

GONZO: "My lieeeeeeeeege!"

Even presidents should be elected via Splatoon.
 
I think I saw 2 new stages. We might get them by the time splatfest starts.

I think there are 3 new stages in the video:
* At 0:46, it's Bluefin Depot (currently available in Single Player)
* At 0:56, it's Kelp Dome (currently available in Single Player)
* At 0:58, it's Camp Triggerfish

Some other details:
* Matches takes place at night.
* During the Splatfest, the players can only play Splatfest matches online
* The Splatfest Tee that contenders get for voting on the Splatfest, disappears when the Splatfest is over.
* The Splatfest has its own scoring system, where a winning match is 3 EXP points.
* A player can win up to 12 super sea snails (184 EXP points or more)
* The final total team score is balanced against the number of people voting for a team
 
That was a fantastic trailer, really got me hyped. loved the 2d animation and the freeze frames of battle.

If the trailer was for Japan why did I notice cats and dogs there?

Two and a half weeks until the first Splatfest in Europe. Kind of a drag.
As sad as getting completely owned due to everyone else having slot added or respeced gear will be there will be a day of no Japanese players then no day of American players and then Europe only! (then I find out I am the lag problem...or the Australians which are the same region)

Also we get to find out how it works more like how points are rewarded. The full 12 shells needs nearly 200 points. If it is one point per win and it is turf wars that is 10 hours of playing with an 100% win rate and zero downtime between matches.

What is the other team doing :O

So GAF, are you on team rice?

Or team bread.

Splatoon Twitter just tweeted these out.
Doesn't matter I'm not Japanese. Also you missed out the important part, for breakfast.

Team Bread is so dead :(
