What's with the Splatoon hate? It looks like one of the best games on the show floor.

But they showed Splatoon two times yesterday and there's only one map/gamemode.

Oh, the devs are talking!

 

[MisterGrey3000]

hahaha
"TOP SECRET!"
I'm loving this game, and the devs are adorbs. They seem to have a lot of enthusiasm.

 

[Kinsei]

I wonder if that cat is a cat squid. I'd love for his species to be an unlockable faction.

 

[Marcus]

Nate knows Japanese, why does he need a translator?

 

[Stulaw]

Seems like they're really focused on Wii U. Have they shown any 3DS games other than Smash Bros?

They had Fantasy Life earlier.

Edit: Beaten.

I haven't watched much today, yesterday was great, but I don't want to be watching the games, I want to play them!

 

[Karkador]

I wouldn't mind the repeat appearances as much if it wasn't like a 30-45 minute block of the same thing.

 

[jeffers]

! Live action tv ads for this could be SOOO GOOD

 

[uberluigi]

YouTube stream froze, what did I miss?

 

[Moldiver]

Wait, wat? just came off an online game of Mario Kart and 2 of the racers were Filsamech and Sakurai, is this some sort of Drivatar stuff right here i didn't know about?

 

[Ermac]

I wonder how you'll rocket jump to another player if you're not using the GamePad.

 

[NotLiquid]

The trailer showed a lot more maps so they're probably not hurting for content. You can't blame them for covering the game frequently - this game has one of the biggest playable booth spaces on the show floor and they really want to push this title. Besides, the Treehouse doesn't really assume that everyone will be tuning in the entire day. A lot of people join in late and miss things. Smash has been demoed multiple times today as well.

 

[Not75Drops]

Top Secret cat.

 

[Kinsei]

YouTube stream froze, what did I miss?

The back story of the referee cat in Splatoon is top secret.

 

[Sacul64GC]

Why the fuck not?

MH4 is pretty much GotY 2015

I mean that they specified a time on their twitter. This is the first time they have done that I think.

 

[Amazeballs]

Questions already answered, but for future reference you can scroll back and watch missed content.

 

[ShadowElliot]

Ah, they explained why you get points for destroying another player. Your ink covers the spot when your enemy gets splatted.

 

[daydream]

In the beginning, I honestly thought there was some sort of Hatsune Miku crossover in this game because of those shades of pink and green.

Spoiler

what have I become, lol

 

[ohlawd]

I mean that they specified a time on their twitter. This is the first time they have done that I think.

oh that's what you meant

 

[phanphare]

are they following GAF?

 

[Zero148]

that point system for splashes is genius and motivates players to fight in enemy terretory if they want to be the top player of the round

 

[vinnygambini]

Sato mentioned DLC! TREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHOUSE. TRANSLATE WHAT HE SAID ABOUT THAT.

Really? What he say?

 

[Busaiku]

Nintendo going hard in equality.

 

[PixyJunket]

I don't mind them repeating games, not everyone is watching this entire thing.

The fact that they have brought development people in to talk about it in a nice bonus for the nutty guys doing this all week (ala me).

 

[Unlucky]

Nate knows Japanese, why does he need a translator?

So we have the benefit of hearing his comments/questions in English, probably. If he was to say things in English and then repeat himself Japanese it would be awkward.

 

[Loci]

Splatoon needs more maps.
Really weird maps would make that game awesome.
Tunnels. Loops. Windmills which splash your ink all over the map when you hit it with a bigger weapon/ink balloon.

 

[trixx]

I'll buy this game for these developer!

Add local multiplayer somehow please

 

[NotLiquid]

I love the talk about the sound stuff, especially them mentioning that the game's music is what they imagine is cool music in the world of the game. This is some awesome attention to style and detail.

This game's sound design is easily going to be a highlight.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

the blonde playing looks fine

 

[TheChits]

Oh my god these japanese devs are adorable

They seem really excited about showing this off. Nice to see

 

[Scoops]

It's a 2015 game it has plenty of time to add it.

 

[Makonero]

You know that's Audrey, right?

 

[Tripon]

Really? What he say?

I wasn't really paying attention out of hearing DLC, and my Japanese is really rusty. Only reason I noticed that is because Sato pronounced each letter in English, as D-L-C.

But the guy who was translating clearly said something else and avoided saying DLC in his response.

 

[antonz]

weapon classes etc. will make for some interesting stuff

 

[MisterGrey3000]

Oh, sweet! You can select your weapons before the match!
I just assumed you would find them on the field.

 

[Kinsei]

It's a 2015 game, this is probably the only map in a playable state. I think it's highly likely that there will be a ton of crazy maps in the full game.

Hey Nintendo, this would be the perfect game to launch your first multiplayer demo/beta. Just saying.

Maybe they;re not supposed to announce the DLC yet. Seem like something they'll want to reveal closer to release like Mario Golf.

 

[Chaos17]

Same, something like MK8 coop mode where you can play in local or online will be cool.

 

[Niraj]

These devs seem really cool.

 

[scottnak]

Nice. Vertical centric maps would be interesting

 

[SweetDonuts]

The blue reminded me of that too haha.

 

[daydream]

They're showing lots of different games - close to everything that's been announced, actually - so I don't think anyone can complain. If you're watching on YT, you can easily skip around on the stream, too, and just rewatch parts you missed.

Holy crap, this would be amazing.

Anyways, they've got tons of time to polish the game up and I'm assuming the game will definitely feature more maps, otherwise it wouldn't be coming out in 2015.

They're talking about it right now, they just said they're testing new maps every days!

 

[Kenturoxx]

Please ask for new modes please

 

[Mr. Patch]

I hope that some maps have water that can be used as a neutral point for squid movement.

 

[DrWong]

Cool.

"Four maps in the trailer. Making a lot more"

 

[Kansoku]

I was already sold out on this, but hearing the devs really makes this special.

 

[Jintor]

Nice. Vertical centric maps would be interesting

Just had a vision of a map on the side of a skyscraper

 

[starmud]

alison tweeted about a gaf post... they are secretly observing our streaming obsessions ;____;

Yeah, I guess it's more blue than green. But hey, at least I'm not the only one who made that connection, so thanks!
