I could have sworn I'd seen various hype vids with people playing multiplayer with the joy cons, but I can't see any local multiplayer options at all? Am I being an idiot?

Still fun though. A great game to just pick up for a couple of rounds here and there.

Go to The Shoal. On the right when you spawn into Inkopolis Square.
All the local play features are there.

 

[B00TE]

Salmon run is so much fun!

 

[TI82]

my copy just got to the UPS hub of my state... cmon UPS get me the game!!!

 

[toastyToast]

Can anyone post their sensitivity settings with motion controls to give me an idea?

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

Why can't I change my loadout in lobby?
Do we really have to watch that talk show everytime we turn the game on?
Do walls matter?

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

Fun stuff but the controls are still foreign to me even with a lot of hrs with Splatoon 1. Will take expermientinf a few games with different settings to figure out what I can adapt to

 

[jorgejjvr]

Can we take a gaf room to ranked?

 

[nubbe]

Can I buy it remotely and my switch will download it at home, while it is in sleep mode?

You can buy it remotely, but Switch don't wake up as much as 3DS or WiiU

 

[BlueSilver]

I don't have the game yet, but Salmon Run looks amazing. =O

Can we take a gaf room to ranked?

It's possible, but it seems like everyone is either in Salmon Run or going to bed right now in the Discord.

Salmon run is so much fun!

I like how it's a bit more aggressive take on a traditional horde mode which tends to be more defensive (not that it's bad, it just has a habit of being less dynamic which some like Killing Floor and Gears 3 avoid quite well through varied enemies, good core gameplay and lots of variables) Here if you do that, you're generally losing or are stalling out the round when you hit quota which is still pretty intense due to sheer enemy density which is ludicrous on higher difficulties (and we still don't know anything about 200% difficulty). Plus the enemy design is pretty excellent especially since boss salmonid might as well be normal enemies. And it seems quite dynamic between night events, fog, different basket areas, enemy spawns, weapons provided, water level and so on. You're not always optimized for every scenario so it's about making do with whatever you have and being good at everything. It's a shame that there's no endless version, if there was, it'd be probably an excellent test of skill to potentially even compete at. If they add more events, more enemies, and levels and I think at the end of the game's life span I can see this being an amazing game mode in its right especially since it's actually hard and demanding even on professional level players (which basically reaffirms to me that Nintendo can pursue difficulty when they feel like it)

 

[WiiRevolution1]

When do you unlock the ability to add/reroll slits? Itsnt Level 4 like almost everything else.

 

[Lemrik]

Let´s go!

[RecRoulette]

That first boss in the campaign is cool as hell. The presentation in general is a big step up.

 

[dadjumper]

I never played the first game, but I played and liked the testfires well enough. Is the single player long enough to be worth getting? Someone I know is selling a digital code for 5000 yen

 

[Neoleo2143]

That first boss in the campaign is cool as hell. The presentation in general is a big step up.

The second boss, imo blows out all the other bosses in Splatoon 1 aside for the final boss.

 

[nubbe]

Roller made me OP
But i'm better with the Bucket

 

[MisterCrow]

In the Lobby, what's with the green arrow pointing to the left with my weapon inside? It says 'Dry' and '4.0' and is otherwise unclear what that is.

 

[Pastry]

So Salmon Run is like a lot of fun.

 

[jdstorm]

Why can't I change my loadout in lobby?
Do we really have to watch that talk show everytime we turn the game on?
Do walls matter?

No idea, yes, not for score but they can be handy for movement

 

[pizzacat]

GameStop still hasn't given me my code

 

[SexyFish]

Even the freshest release can't escape Knack.

 

[Torokil]

Do abilities stack or nah? Like if I have two quick respawns will that make my respawn 2x fast?

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

How do you draw pictures ?

 

[serenewarfare]

Salmon Run is real good

 

[Toadsili T]

How do you draw pictures ?

Go to the red Postbox in the Square, right outside the shops on the left side. Activating it should allow you to draw images to post to one of your Social media accounts that are compatible.

 

[rrs]

feels like the roller isn't as good as it used to be, either that or I'm way rusty with splatoon

 

[supervillain]

Oh man, this game is so much fun.
Really loving it so far.

 

[harutrix]

How do you draw pictures ?

Go to the red post box located somewhere on the left side.

 

[Neoleo2143]

I think it's way better, the vertical flick is a god send for range extension and mobility.

 

[John Harker]

Secured.

Two quick questions as I prep for a long flight.

1. What can be played offline, if at all? Salmon Run and Campaign?
2. Is there still local co-op or pvp like the first game? It was great. Didn't notice it in my 5 min before I shut down tho

 

[foxuzamaki]

I'm so afraid of this happening. ;-;

Maybe I should just go ahead and do the full SP on Day One. Darn thumbnails are impossible to avoid.

I was already planning to do the Sp on day 1(maybe not complete it tho..) but if it would have just held off like 2 days without the youtube algorithm dooming me, im mentally blocking it from my mind however

 

[Kanhir]

Why can't I change my loadout in lobby?

Someone was saying the matchmaking takes your weapon into account.
Still annoying, though, I'm grinding abilities and have to exit games whenever a piece of gear fills up and I change it.

Do we really have to watch that talk show everytime we turn the game on?

Yes. At least you don't have to watch it every time the maps change this time around!
(Maybe next time they'll realise that nobody likes it and make it skippable.)

Do walls matter?

For coverage points? No, they're not taken into account.
For mobility and getting where you need to go fast? Priceless. Especially if you're trying to sneak up on someone - inking a wall is a great way of blowing your cover.

In the Lobby, what's with the green arrow pointing to the left with my weapon inside? It says 'Dry' and '4.0' and is otherwise unclear what that is.

Freshness rating for your weapon. You get 3000 bonus points every time a weapon levels up for the first time.
Like your rank, it goes up when you win and down when you lose.

How do you draw pictures ?

There's a red postbox between two of the shops. You can draw from there.

1. What can be played offline, if at all? Salmon Run and Campaign?

Single-player campaign only.
The Shoal version of Salmon Run requires 2+ players, and you can't enter Grizzco without an internet connection.

2. Is there still local co-op or pvp like the first game? It was great. Didn't notice it in my 5 min before I shut down tho

There's local Salmon Run and Private Battle.
As far as I can tell, you need 2-4 players for the former, and a full complement of 8 players for the latter.

How does the bonus stuff work in Salmon Run? You get it at the end of the month (the shirt says monthly)?

I reached the 100pt mark which is the first bonus but I didn't get anything?

As soon as you earn a bonus, you can go to the front counter at Grizzco to claim it.
You can claim multiple bonuses at once, so you don't need to quit every time you earn one.

The bonuses reset between Salmon Run sessions, so you go back to 0p.
Your rank doesn't, though, so you still get the pay multiplier and can get bonuses faster if you're high rank.

[sheaaaa]

It doesn't. Been said by a lot of people so far. Should possibly be in the OP.

Thanks, did a search for "Japan" in this thread but didn't find it.

 

[Ivan A Nguyen]

GameStop still hasn't given me my code

I'm in the same group. I think they'll be sending it out at 9 am.

 

[watershed]

Are sloshers available day 1 or will they come back with a future update?

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Amazon seems to always come through for me *knock on wood* but it always plays with my heartstrings in the process. For a little bit today, it showed my package as slated to arrive in the 26th, then corrected itself to tomorrow. So freaking hyped.

Curious, how many of y'all are getting the Splatoon headset? I was gonna buy it but I don't wanna splurge too much and decided to pick it up later.

 

[Soul Lab]

edit: nvm

 

[Biske]

Salmon run is so much fun!

It really is. I like how it forces you to use other weapons too. Great training

 

[Incitemaybe]

Salmon Run is real good

Agreed

 

[Lambtron]

Are sloshers available day 1 or will they come back with a future update?

You can buy it once you hit Level 5.

 

[Rizzi]

Can't back out of a lobby. So if you get stuck in one that doesn't want to put players in it you get to wait the whole 140 seconds. That's dumb.

 

[Neoleo2143]

Also killing Maws by dropping a bomb in its mouth as it tries to eat you is like the sickest stuff ever. So satisfying to pull that off.

 

[serenewarfare]

Man, you can really get up in numbers if you get the right variant rounds on Salmon Run. Just finished with 57 golden eggs.

 

[Data West]

I've already had multiple 4 vs 3 matches due to quitters and Nintendo cant replace them?

They really think they can charge for online when it cant even get this basic shit in the game?

 

[serenewarfare]

Go to the kiosk next to the Grizzco entrance.

Thankee sai, is local co-op available on 1 Switch? Split screen basically, so I can play with my seat neighbor when I fly

 

[Amalthea]

So at wich times is the salmon run usually on?

Press X and you'll see the schedule in the menus somewhere. Or check Splatnet 2 in the Online App.
