Nice selection of weapons. I think I'm going to go with the Super Soaker, I mean, Splatshot. I like that there's a tutorial section, too. It'd be nice if that was open before the Testfire began.

I'm assuming your online ID will be that of your Mii name, so in that case, look out for me tonigiht. My mii is GustyGrdns.

Have you not used any online stuff on Wii U yet? https://miiverse.nintendo.net/users?query=GustyGrdns

That's either not your NNID or you haven't set up Miiverse.
 
Expecting a ton of "connection failed" issues...


Shit remember when X and Y hit the Eshop? XD

This isn't pokemon, but it's rare that nintendo ever holds server test.
 
I'm quite sad that, being away for the weekend, I can't play this. I'm looking forward to read your impression tomorrow morning, while drinking the coffee.

Enjoy it and have no server crash.

wow this game looks great.

That's because my Mii name isn't the same as my Nintendo Network ID. My NNID is GustyGardens, but unfortunately, I'm not given enough space in the Mii name section, so some letters needed to be cut.

but your NNID is what you need to tell people who are looking for you! the Mii name is just the display name.

Oh, I know! The only reason I gave my Mii name is because that's what you'll see if we happen to get put into a match together. Since the we can't play with our friends during the Testfire, I figured my NNID was irrelevant. At least until the actual game is released.
 
Really looking forward to playing this tonight.

I love Nintendo but damn I wish they would get with the times and add voice chat.

Can't wait regardless

Not really sure, but I guess that could be the case. I was mainly talking about how hotel WiFi usually leads to high latency which would cause a lot of lag.

It isn't confirmed to have Off-TV Play.

There is no mention of Off-TV Play in the eShop. The testfire demo tells you to look at the TV, which most likely means there is no Off-TV Play for the demo.

Seems like there is going to be no Off-TV Play outside of the local vs mode where one person uses the TV and the other uses the GamePad screen.

Well damn. Why can't they just say that? If it doesn't have off tv play then there is literally no reason to get this for me. Sad. Won't hold out hope that it will have it. Was really looking forward to playing this. Oh well. Even if I can get a tv hooked up I prefer to not use a tv and will for some games if they are big megaton games for me, but a online games that I would've played for months and possibly years I don't see myself sticking to tv. Guess I'll just settle with Smash costumes and Amiibos since I still love the universe so much.

is it? looks pretty identical to what I've seen from the game, although it does seem to have a suspicious lack of aliasing.
Click to expand...
The lack of aliasing is what gives it away. Watch the Direct again and you'll see there is still a noticeable amount of aliasing and it would be much more noticeable in screenshots. Still looks good regardless of that.
 
Huh, considering the treehouse will be streaming it, does that mean Nintendo is confident that there won't be many server errors?

That's just speculation at this point until we see what the August update is. I would guess you would be able to add random players to fill out the matches.
Click to expand...
That guess is laden with what I would consider highly unwarranted optimism. They described that mode as team battles. You probably can't enter that mode solo. And they wouldn't peel randoms off of another mode and stick them in a team battle against their will. But I guess we don't know for sure.
 
Midnight, 8 AM on saturday and the only decente time is 15pm on Sunday....which is mother's day

Timezones I hate you
 
Wouldn't it be neat if Nintendo kept this Demo after launch and opened it during Specific Times on the Weekends to give people a Demo Experience constantly while having concentrated fans all coming in at one time? It could work.

All test periods will be on Saturday in Brazil, Platy :P Also, the last test will be @ 14h-15h in Brasilia Time, not 15h-16h.
 
I am dying to play this but damn does Nintendo still know how to make terrible decisions. Three separate 1 hour play-sessions is ridiculous and they surely they know it, right? Even if their servers don't blow up from the onslaught of people trying to play (which would be surprising) it's still only one hour of time to mess around with the game. I'd rather they have just done two 2-hour sessions. Or really... anything else.

Again, this is a stress test disguised as a demo

I never said it was a demo. I know what it is, doesn't mean a one-hour limit is a good idea. It's just barely worth anyone's time. And if the servers crash for the first 45 minutes and people only get 15 minutes to play you can't deny there will be plenty of unhappy people.
 
wait..i don't understand...those hour are the only hour where we can play with the demo or the hours where the demo will be downloadable?
 
For whatever reasons, I thought it was yesterday (friday), I'm actually glad because I had an headache and though I missed it.
Can't play in the first hour because it's like 5 AM here, but I'll certainly be there in the second hour.
