Nintendo finally putting their investment to use.
Mariners game?
Nintendo owns the Mariners
I know that, but I don't see them advertising a lot of their games there is what I meant

Today was beyond long due to this. It's only going to get worse until release.
I remember reading that they buy it pretty much as a favor to the OG owner.
They also run all kinds of cool downloadable stuff for people who bring their DS and 3DS.

They also had Mario Kart 8 banners in the same spot...
Reggie's hopes are going to come to fruition!!!
i think it was something like if a angel investor didn't buy them seattle wouldn't have a baseball team anymore
they still copped so much shit because they were japanese and also they had nothing to do with baseball really lol
Neat detail I noticed, the inklings tentacles/hair glows when their special is ready like in 1:46 of this video.
Damn Nintendo, bring back the full, open and no time limit demo, please. I want to play it now
Lol.
What you want is the game.
rollers beware if a splatter jnr is charging you, hair aflame! they're gonna pop a bubble in your face
There's a video in the thread of rollers being OP, where a dude just literally shoots the roller or the ground right in front and it grinds it to almost a halt it seemed like.
In this vid:
Starts at 1:12. Looks like some good roller tech. This has some really good roller killer technique. He does it a bunch, shooting past them and then aiming down, which brings the stream forward cutting off their movement options and forcing them to act.

If a good netcode and a fun shooter game deserve to be a smash hit then yeah...but only the sales number can tell
If this goes above 1 million sold copies it would be awesome if you ask me If a good netcode and a fun shooter game deserve to be a smash hit then yeah...but only the sales number can tell
S Y S T E M S E L L E R ! ! !
But seriously, I think if it reviews well, gets positive word of mouth and they stay heavy on the advertising it could easily do that. It's the Wii U's lack of mainstream appeal that will hold it back. But you never know it may even push a decent amount of consoles.

I think I need the game right now. I did the tutorial trick, bit there's nothing to do if you paint everything except get used to the controls again. Maybe I should practice some movement options later.

I've only picked up the controller 3 times to mess around in the tutorial a bit since the thing ended, but yeah, it's still on. Wii U uses a tiny amount of power compared to the other consoles and it's in an open area where it has a lot of air. =) I've left my Gamecube and PS2 running for a lot longer and they're still kicking.
...Maybe I should practice looking at the map and back to the screen next time. Heh.
TY LOTS omg

I think the discount will be applied on launch for a certain period if you had downloaded the testfire demo so you should be fine.Aw, I missed the prepurchase option from the demo, does this mean I lost the discount? Can´t seem to preorder from the eShop anymore
I bought my Wii U last summer after playing Splatoon at an event. Nintendo did have the Mario Kart 8 bundle/promotion at the time which pushed me over the edge.
They should bundle Splatoon with MK8 for $300 if they want to sell more consoles.

Lol I was going to say the same thing.Inklish.
I hope
Speaking of the Killer Wail, something I thought I saw, but it was brief and I might be wrong: I think I successfully hid in ink below the Killer Wail blast.
Anyone else able to confirm or disprove that?
Well, if you want to test peak usage, setting up circumstances which will naturally lend themselves to being peak usage makes a lot of sense, more so than a protracted test might be.
Too close to Inglish. Not that anyone remembers that!

It's not a preorder discount. It's a discount based on whether or not you took part in/downloaded the testfire.
You yourself need to get to level 10, too, before you can even play Ranked Battle.
Doesn't the killer wail also lay paint down? I seem to recall it soon so, which would make that strategy almost useless.

No, since it extends across the whole map. It only splats opponents. (It also goes through walls, btw)
Interesting. My memory of the weekend is super hazy so my bad!
It amazes how well balanced everything in this game seems early on. Especially it being nintendos first big foray into the shooting genre. The end of the month can not come soon enough.

Since fanart seems ok, I figured I'd post what I was working on for the art contest. It's not finished obviously but
Since the game reminds me a ton of Dreamcast era SEGA, I figured I'd go for that

Even though the game is more JSR than Sonic but whatever
