Nintendo sent an email with a countdown to release. Tonight it is!

Yo...

I'm going to be hurting at work tomorrow.


So psyched for Splatoon 2 and the great OT. Spent most of my lurking days on the original OT.

When I randomly dropped in a lobby with ryechu, Azure J, et al., I shit myself. I held my own well enough to get some adds and playing with those folks brought the game to the next level.

Hope this OT stays strong before everyone leaves for Discord (again).
 
Played through the first world and splatted a few Japanese players (ended up being first a few times). Gonna hit the sack now, work shift starts in three hours. Seems awesome, more Splatoon with nice tweaks.
 
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?
 




You getting on tonight?


---------------------------------------

I bought eShop cards because I read here that it'll unlock 11 PM central time in the US. There's no option to buy and preload it. What's up with that?



Anyone here going to try and use the Nintendo app? I want to give it a go when I start.

Yup! It's a little different to the Bubbler in Splatoon 1, this applies to all team members. I liked Echolocator in Splatoon 1 quite a bit and Tenta Missiles in Splatoon 2 if that says anything.

yeah so far I'm all about the tenta missiles

bummed they took it away from my vanilla splattershot since the first testfire
 
In case anybody was waiting on Amazon like me:

So we won't have to wait until midnight Pacific.
 
Holy shit Nintendo AU usually does releases on Saturday and I'm completely blindsided that this released today.

Well, better get out of bed and go buy it.

No getting my physical copy tomorrow. Only working a half day so will be home after 11am.

I'll be honest, in both Splatfest's I kinda just mained the Dualies because I wanted to see the new weapon so I didn't realise that they changed that! Not sure on the Dualies yet, I think that once I get more tailored abilities I'll warm up to it.
 
So, the old Squid Kid amiibos don't do anything other than save character loadouts? No old versions of the costumes?

Edit: Whoops, misread the opening post, old costumes are back
 
I wouldn't be surprised if this is how it's programmed. Nintendo and surround sound go together about as well as Nintendo and decent online.

Just wanna make sure there's nothing wrong with the Switch. Strange if Nintendo didn't put in surround sound in a 3rd person shooter. And BotW has nice surround sound :)

Some people are saying firmware 3.0.0 messed up the Switch surround output. Have to go back and check BotW.
 
Dammit i bought an amaZon japan splatoon code and now matter what i do it doesnt work when i try to redeem it on my japanese eshop account.maybe im doing something wrong.
 
Any tips for newcomers how to get acustomed to the motion controls?

Like what sensivites to turn down up, how and when to reset the camera
 
AhhhhhhHHHHH the store I usually go to typically is dead quiet at opening (also helps I live in a somewhat small area) so I figured I could come like 30 minutes early

NOPE huge line and now I'm worried I can't get my joy cons and pro controller D:

That's Japan on Squidkid day tho I guess
 
Does it come out or is it out in the UK? If it is any reason not to buy it there?

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
 
First time playing Splatoon and just got to the second zone. I think its the first TPS where motion controls are better than the standard sticks. I tried to go without and it just cant shake the fiddlyness of the Switches analogues. You either over swing your target on higher sensitivities or take forever to turn when on lower. Meanwhile if you use the motion controls you can literally snap to targets.
