Think they could reveal more local multiplayer modes at this point, or is it too late? The lack of local MP is my biggest disappointment with this game... I would've liked it to be the new Goldeneye / Timesplitters 2...

They haven't announced anything of that sort, but I wouldn't bet on it being in the game.Wait, there's no local co-op? That can't be right?

I hope this has more multi-player modes online than the two we know about.
I also hope they finally assure us that we can in fact set up our own lobbies and invite friends, if we can't change the rules that's fine. But we need private lobbies
That really surprises me. Nintendo multi focused game without local...that would be quite disappointing.

Local co-op. A sort of 2P local something is there, but it probably is not co-op.
My wording wasn't ironic, while versus was heavily rumoured and I think I remember seeing 2P local, I don't surely know what it actually is. For all I know, it could be a uselessOh, so local vs is there? Well, that's okay I guess, still though, I would think a local co-op of some kind would be a given, too.
There is a local 1v1 vs multiplayer called "Battle Dojo".Oh, so local vs is there? Well, that's okay I guess, still though, I would think a local co-op of some kind would be a given, too.
Horde Mode, Mario Sunshine stage, more amiibo suport, demo and eshop promotion ?
Sounds awesome
There might be some more 1 v 1 game types in Battle Dojo beyond the Balloon stuff.
I think splitscreen 4-player would have already been announced if it were in the game.
There could have been some very interesting 5 player modes too (last player uses the tablet only). Missed opportunity. Still buying this because I love the concept and want to see a sequel.
You guys are deflating my hype with all this Smash-talk. Please, keep this crap out of the Splatoon Direct!+ the E3 presentation
I know, I know...it's just that for a person who thinks that Smash is simply a good game, it's getting kind of annoying. I'd rather prefer them focusing on the unreleased games instead and keep everything Smash-related to Smash-specific presentations.

I just want to be able to bring a local player with me to play online together, like in Mario Kart or the team modes in Smash. I don't know why we wouldn't be able to given that Splatoon is a team-based game.
Because the Wii U doesn't support multiple Gamepads?
Yeah, that is true.This will really define how the fan react to Splatoon. We need a way to party up with 7 other people to foster a community.
New weapons is always cool
It shall be interesting to see if we get more info on those things, indeed.Other modes than the 3 (or 4 if you count the campaign) currently known.
Second player could use the gamepad pro? or remote/nunchuckBecause the Wii U doesn't support multiple Gamepads?
Wait, there's no local co-op? That can't be right?
I want something like gardens and graveyards like From PvZ
There is a local 1v1 vs multiplayer called "Battle Dojo".
One person is on the GamePad while the other person has to use the Wii U Pro controller and the TV.

NOA is having another preview event for Splatoon today... looks like Time, Forbes, some gaming press and some Youtubers are all there.
They have cupcakes and an area where you can shoot ink guns and throw paint balloons.
This was just an opportunity to give East Coast media one last hands-on session prior to review code being sent out. Basically a chance to give new hands-on impressions tomorrow to coincide with Direct coverage.Based on the pics, it looks like the same info we already knew. I want one of those cupcakes tho
Based on the pics, it looks like nothing new is being shown. I want one of those cupcakes tho

There's not really much to discern from a picture of the show floor alone (which really only just shows the game), and chances are that anything new being shown that press is allowed to play is under NDA until tomorrow.

A co-op player can't use a wii mote and nunchuck?
WTF kind of gimped shit is this? Blops2 on Wii U had better multiplayer features and more control options, and it's 3 years old!
That depends on if you're okay with the game running at 15fps.Think they could reveal more local multiplayer modes at this point, or is it too late? The lack of local MP is my biggest disappointment with this game... I would've liked it to be the new Goldeneye / Timesplitters 2...
