Looks awesome sadly you can't get the hero mode art on the front side but ohwell will just put it as the only game case that way then

 

[Sesuadra]

Great. Nintendo figured out how to get me to download their stupid app.

there is also app exclusive gear

 

[Koren]

Feels SO akward coming from Splatoon 1...

The jump was on X, not B, wasn't it? I miss 2 jumps out of 3 pressing X and bringing the map...

Also, it's disappointing that you can't have BOTH vertical axis for right stick AND gyro :/ Why?

 

[Shahadan]

Winning by 0,1% still feels great

 

[Jintor]

I don't even know what that means.

Sorry I meant around

Trying to splat and chat at the same time

So I wasn't crazy in the test the jump really messed with me

 

[phanphare]

lol, the Treehouse have outdone themselves

"your corporate shill game is on point" lol

also Marina scratching and dropping to the rhythm to unveil the stage rotation is the best

 

[octopiggy]

Wonder if gear from the app is the same price as in game.

 

[JonnyKong]

The Splatoon app is really frigging great.

The voice stuff, not so much.

 

[Jintor]

Salmon run is doooope

 

[PhilipDoesMatter]

Hey why don't you add me for some fun!

[RecRoulette]

God help us all if they're stupid enough to put Marina on Team Mayo.

They're going to have to remove the drawing feature from the game.

(Also I hope North America avoids that same topic)

Managed to get to Lv4 on my lunch hour:

Didn't do too badly! One of the losses had a man down, the other was the opponents pulling off a really good push right at the end. =D

GGs. Particularly for whoever FloGamerHD was cos they was my bro for like 3 of these. <3

EDIT: Oh by the way the SplatNet2 thingy is super neat. If other games have the same thing then the app isn't a complete waste.

 

[13ruce]

Damn games graphics look super clean and beautiful. Huge improvement over 1.

 

[CrazedProfessional]

Dunno why super jump camping is still a thing

 

[Grakl]

Dunno why super jump camping is still a thing

there's an ability to give you a roll when you land from a super jump, use that

 

[watershed]

If folks are looking to add more gaffers, my fc is 1836-0009-5313. Will pretty much be playing this all summer.

 

[Tom Nook]

Getting the game on Saturday from Amazon.

 

[Diablohead]

imo you don't always need to superjump, only use it when it's vital.

Game controls are what's holding me back from buying. I have zero experience with FPS'es on consoles, so I'm afraid that awkward controls will keep me from playing this.

Thoughts?

Games of Rainmaker do not last long whatsoever on Pumptrack

If it helps, it does have an entire singleplayer campaign which allows infinite time to get used to the controls.

Splatoon's controls are perfection, there's a decent learning curve though so they'll probably feel really weird at first

 

[JJShadow]

I'm about to catch a 3-hour flight. Switch is fully charged and my copy of Splatoon 2 is ready to go as well, so excited!

 

[Busaiku]

Hopefully the US gets the superior Mustard.

 

[CrazedProfessional]

It's not really enough Imo.

Prefer a 2 second bubble shield or something

No one bothers to jump if any jump you make is gonna get camped by the time you get there

 

[unrealist]

Wow is there such a large skill gap between NA/EU players and Japanese?

I watch two streams .. and the skill gap was really huge..

 

[Lucifon]

So I got my cap from Nintendo UK store today... what a joke

 

[The Giant]

Loving salmon run. So much fun.

Someone must have messed with the brightness and saturation levels on that picture. Or possibly the cap.

 

[Mohonky]

Yeh Im loving it.

Needing to be level 10 to enter ranked annoys me tho, turf wars is my least fav game mode.

 

[random25]

Salmon Run is sooooo goooooood...

 

[13ruce]

Can easily get 1k+ turf points each game so i am doin better than splatoon 1 lol but the pro controller is damn good.

Wii U Tablet was huge af for pro playing for me.

The skill gap is real. Japanese players are insane.

Same, lvl 7 right now and turf bores me.

It's clearly a Maroon on their site and in person it's a bright mario-style red, horrible stuff. It's really cheaply made too, very thin and poor quality with a flimsy thin plastic strap on the back.

How's the gyro with the Pro Controller guys? I don't know why but gyro in a normal size controller seems like it will take a minute for me to get used to over the Wii U gamepad.

 

[mossypne]

When you've filled the arrow DRY winning streak meter thing, is there something you need to do afterwards? The game doesn't really do a good job of explaining what certain things are...

Thanks. I just took the leap and ordered my copy

 

[octopiggy]

How do you unlock the other amiibo gear from the original amiibo? I can only get hats at the moment.

Playing with the joycon grip, I had to knock the gyro sensitivity down two notches, but then it was absolutely fine.

Splashdown Super Jump feels great.

Not a FPS but I get what you're saying. I don't play FPS either and I feel the controls are great for a 3rd person shooter. I don't like or use motion controls but I've seen nothing but praise in how well the motion controls are if you want to go that route and as for regular controls they're great with being easy to learn. You can also adjust the sensitivity setting of your controls.

 

[Jim_Cacher]

I have reached Level 4 and just defeated the first Boss Octarian and that burst of creativity makes me roll my eyes and laugh out loud at the same time.

Splatoon 2 is pure fun.

 

[Captain_Wreckus]

Bought this morning and trying to download the game w/ mcdonalds wifi......No splatoon 2 for me at lunch today lol.

 

[purseowner]

I didn't hear the post.

Next working day.

No Splatoon 2 for me today. Argh.

 

[Gestault]

Based on Splatoon 1, it's more about knowing where you plant yourself and where you're helpful on the map. Precise aiming can help, but that's usually not what the game is about. If you're coming with no controller experience for aiming, the gyro controls (default) may be the way to go, because you'll have a few hours of getting acclimated anyway.

 

[panthapanda]

Popped my Splatoon cherry and did a few multiplayer games. Game is fun but I'm trash lol. I can't decide how I like to play better. I need to stick to a style.

 

[Piichan]

Just a billboard with a squid kid on it is the coolest thing ever. Can't wait to get home and start the game.
