[Omzz]

maybe I'll see you online, frenchman

 

[DVCY201]

Alright, I'm totes ready to get splattered. I feel sorry for the team I'm on, I suck at shooters.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Watch there be huge issues. Lag and trouble connecting. Hopefully not but I don't want to get to hype.

Also I it's ten Eastern here and I'm really tired today. Lied down around 6 hoping to take a nap but didn't fall asleep and got up at 8:30.

Not sure how on my game I'll be as my eyes are pretty tired.

 

[AdanVC]

I wouldn't have it any other way ;p

Is gun' be so good!!

New Japanese commercial

https://youtu.be/tjQAhX1TF7Q

Love it. Especially the intro with the Nintendo logo wich looks like if it was the intro of an artistic shortfilm.

 

[trixx]

1 hour to go lets see if I get sold with the $70 price tag for this game

 

[Enforced]

1 more hour left. My body is ready!

 

[-Horizon-]

Less than an hour until I go sploosh.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Can't wait for that 4 on 4 splatfest tonight.

 

[Blues1990]

Less than an hour until I go sploosh.

Ka-BOOM!

 

[foxuzamaki]

I'll be the one and onlY foxuzamaki if you see me.

 

[CrazedProfessional]

I am hyped.

 

[daydream]

If you see me (windjamming), maybe, uh, cease fire and say 'hi' for a second. Yeah, do that.

 

[Kriken]

So it starts in about 50 minutes, but do we know if it unlocks a few minutes early or anything to get people to set up or anything?

 

[Xeteh]

about an hour left

if you guys see Aiko_Heiwa that's me, obviously

I'm Xeteh, can't wait to try this out.

 

[entremet]

Does this support Gamepad off TV play?

 

[valouris]

Does this support Gamepad off TV play?

My burning question as well. Sure hope so.

 

[Blues1990]

Does this support Gamepad off TV play?

It would seem like an odd admission, but I'm sure Gamepad off-TV is supported for the single-player mode.

 

[Mesoian]

Alright, killing time until 11.

Anyone wanna play smash while we wait?

 

[Nosgotham]

I don't feel like hooking my wiiu up to a tv so I hope it supports off tv

 

[RuneFactoryFanboy]

Does this support Gamepad off TV play?

If it does, but then doesn't have Pro Controller support then I'll be even more irritated.

I'm going to guess no, since you need that "crucial" map.

 

[Xeteh]

The main screen once you start the game says "Look at TV" so unless they've got an option in a menu you need to hit first I'm not sure if it is going to work.

 

[Jennings]

Alarm set and counting down the minutes. Tick tock.

 

[Chaos17]

35 mins to go!

 

[Kriken]

Does this support Gamepad off TV play?

Thinking about it, I doubt it, the gamepad is used to Super Jump to certain areas of the map and weapon abilities such as the ink missile. I think that'd make it near impossible to do either of those things alongside playing the game off-TV

 

[Bulzeeb]

35 mins to go!

I guess you are part of the superior dog team

 

[blue_phazon]

If it does, but then doesn't have Pro Controller support then I'll be even more irritated.

I'm going to guess no, since you need that "crucial" map.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought it was confirmed that there would be off tv play. The question is whether it's included in the demo

 

[ReddishGUI]

35 mins to go!

I hope their servers will be able to handle at least 5 players...

 

[Outtrigger888]

Hype rising!!! Even letting my kids stay up to see the game. Will also be voice chatting through my ps4 with my bro as we stress test the game.

 

[Beats]

they could always just have a button bring up the map unless they're all used up at the moment. i mean ya it might be slower than just tapping, but if I could use the pro controller I'd rather use that since the battery life is better.

does anyone have an image with the controls?

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Only 30 mins!

As for off-tv play? I don't think so. I biefly looked through the manual and don't recall it mentioned. Surely it would be if it existed.

 

[-Horizon-]

Almost time

 

[SnakeSlashRO]

GIMME THIS SHIT, SO READY FOR INKLING SHENANIGANS

30 more minutes till

Spoiler

#TEAM DOG

They could use a button to temporarily overlay the map on the GamePad's screen while it's being held. (But obviously they won't because reasons.)

 

[H2intensity]

I'm rrreeeaadddyyyyy... already standby on my wiiU lol ....

 

[EndlessSky]

Soooo close! I have the demo up on my tv, can't wait!

 

[atom519]

Does this support Gamepad off TV play?

My wife is currently balls deep in an Elementary marathon so I sure hope so.

 

[Kindekuma]

Downloading now. Really wish I still had my capture card, would stream it!

 

[Grylvak]

I'm so excited for this! I'm going to be streaming the whole time so this is going to be fun.

 

[LordOcidax]

This is going to be a fun hour. Cant wait.

 

[Meeps]

Best of luck to everyone!

 

[Zeyphersan]

Can I use the Pro controller as the primary input, or does it have to be the gamepad?

 

[Exile20]

Alright, I'm totes ready to get splattered. I feel sorry for the team I'm on, I suck at shooters.

This is the game for you then. Just stay in the back and cover the floor with ink.

 

[?oe?oe]

Timeslots is crappy though. Couldn't it just be a full weekend?

 

[SatoAilDarko]

They could use a button to temporarily overlay the map on the GamePad's screen while it's being held. (But obviously they won't because reasons.)

It would still take a more time to select a teammate and a lot more time to target a special weapon.

I really want off-tv play to but I recognize it would put a team at a disadvantage to have one player not using the Gamepad.

I can only hope the population will grow enough that Nintendo will eventually add a separate playlist for off-tv play that disables the selection of targeting weapons and only allows warping back to spawn point.
