[Radnom]

There's no way to use motion control to adjust aim horizontally too, is there? I want to be able to dual stick aim 'normally' and then tilt to adjust like in other tilt-aim games

Hahah I've seen that one too

 

[ED Cantu]

My game just arrived because it shipped earlier,would there be a problem if I play it right now?

Wish Nintendo allows e-shop preorders already.

Pre-Download would be really nice....

 

[esmith08734]

Yeah, not sure why Nintendo won't do a preload, actually.

 

[Inferno313]

Yeah, not sure why Nintendo won't do a preload, actually.

It's weird because the 3DS and WiiU have had pre-loads for years. Can't imagine we go too much longer without them being added.

Yup...actually that's what I meant. Long day.

I'm sure they'll have it worked out by the time Mario Odyssey is ready.

 

[Inquisitive_Ghost]

I didn't realize this was out so soon. I don't even have a Switch yet.

I spent a ton of time on the original with GAF, but I don't know if I want to commit to that kind of time sink again so soon. I kind of wish it came out later. It feels like the first one was so recent!

But I'll probably get it somewhere down the line. Hold the line for me, GAF chargers. /salute

 

[Ninja Dom]

Downloading now. UK. But it is 2am here. I'll wait till it downloads, check it out for a few minutes then go to bed.

 

[RulkezX]

Does it come out or is it out in the UK? If it is any reason not to buy it there?

Its out. I changed my location to SA and saved £10 as well. Changed it right back to UK and downloaded

[Fantastical]

Damn, I wanna play this tonight. Not gonna stay up though.

 

[Council Pop]

Just ordered the Splatoon 2 download code off Amazon, the verification page wouldn't load, now the order just says it's 'Pending Verification'. It's going to stay like this for days, and then reject my order, isn't it?

Anyone have any advice?

Hope so!

 

[hatchx]

I'm all over this at midnight.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

Really wish I could be here with you guys day one but I have no money. Same with ARMS. God I loved the testpunch and the splatfest.

Nintendo has amazing franchises.

 

[wild wild rice]

Aw the zapfish doesn't make that weird music when you get close to one like in the first. I liked that detail.

[shoryukens]

Going to Best Buy one hour before opening to get a Switch and this game. Wish me luck!

 

[PhilipDoesMatter]

What an OT! Congrats!

 

[wild wild rice]

Forgot the game is technically not out yet. Can't get a full lobby.

 

[Karish]

So 9pm PT?

 

[VariantX]

God, Amazon better have my copy in my mailbox when I get off work tomorrow afternoon. Its going to be a long day at work and I need to decompress. Just want to spend the remainder of that evening after a long day of work squiddin' and kiddin'.

Enjoy your copy of the game!!!

Spoiler

when you finally get a switch some day it will be really fun to play!

My physical copy is slated to arrive tomorrow by 8pm, so excited! Been playing some Splatoon on Wii U in anticipation.

On a sidenote, I've got a question rooted in minutiae to ask anyone with the full game: does the title screen use the old logo or the new logo? The Splatfest demo used the old logo, which is a shocking oversight to me given the new logo has been around since the April Nintendo Direct (and the home screen icon even uses the new logo!). I also notice Nintendo has been somewhat inconsistent, often interchanging the two logos on recent promotional materials. Maybe it's not a case of old and new, but that each logo is for a different use case? I know the first Splatoon had a similar progression, beta logo to the final logo, but in that case, I know the final logo was used on the title screen.

I thought the new logo was used when promoting the story mode.

I'm not referring to the Octarian-styled Hero Mode logo; the first game had that too. I'm referring to the general Splatoon 2 logo, which in the April Direct was given a makeover to have a bit more "pop," (texture, maybe?) for lack of a technical term. My above links describe what I'm saying.

that's dope

 

[wild wild rice]

Full blown " one more round" is in full effect. Feels good to be playing Splatoon again!

 

[totowhoa]

About to add a bunch of SplatGAF from discord.

Tomorrow evening could not come sooner.

Pointless thread reply to get the thread sub. Lets gooooo

 

[Kodaman]

can't wait!

 

[CoconutTank]

So 9pm PT?

That's what I'm hoping!

That, and that the eshop servers don't melt.

 

[Netprints]

It's cheaper on the South Africa store. Works out around £39.

But otherwise it's out in the UK but I can't think of a valid reason to pay more.

There's no need to create a new account either, just change your region on mynintendo.com buy the game from the eshop using your bank/credit card and then change back

Cool. Thanks for the tip!

 

[Xamdou]

Is Bestbuy doing a midnight launch of Splatoon 2?

 

[jorgejjvr]

Can't wait for midnight. Wish I didn't work tomorrow

 

[Inquisitive_Ghost]

How does customizing gear perks work this time around?

Oh I see, sorry.

 

[MomoQca]

Can this game be bought and pre-downloaded? I added it to the wishlist, but I don't see a way to do it.

I don't think so. No luck here either.

Nope. If only

 

[coughlanio]

Can anyone with a physical Japanese copy of the game confirm that it's not playable in English?

Thanks guys! That's rather unfortunate.

 

[Seik]

Will probably get my Amazon copy at work tomorrow around 1PM. Can't wait to do the campaign, loved the first one even it felt short.

Happy Splating until my arrival!

 

[Blindy]

Wondering about doing an Amazon digital order of this game, would I get the code as soon as the game comes out or will it backordered? I wanted to get the physical copy of Splatoon 2 but the delivery date was going to be this Tuesday which was too much to wait honestly.
