Out of curiosity, would I be losing out on much if I don't get one of the amiibos right away? The limited edition just sold out on Amazon (UK), and the figures are a bit pricey on their own.

I do think I'll still grab one, but I'm just wondering about getting one right away or not.

All they do is let you replay single player levels you have finished again with a different weapon in order to eventually unlock gear parts and one new retro minigame to play in the lobby.

My (2nd) copy is sitting in a DPD van 20 miles away from my house. My (1st) copy has already been stolen by the Amiibomafioso dear god I hope it gets here on time. My wife is on nightshift all weekend so i get to actually devote some quality time to it.
 
Added myself in the Google doc. Feel free to add me! Tell me you're a GAFfer if you do, please

Man, this game is so fun. Blasted through a bit of the single player, and got to I think level 7 in the multiplayer. The Splattershot just feels so right in my hands
 
Goddamn the controls are killing me. Motion is no good but the analog controls are just frustrating as the Y axis is significantly more sensitive than the X axis but the sensitivity slider controls both. Such basic functionality Nintendo :(

There is no Off-TV play for this game.

For online you need both screens.

I REALLY hope this is updated, mostly so I can use the Pro controller instead of that UPad. It's just for the map and selecting a launch point right? All easily doable on-screen.
 
So I guess someone in South Florida was able to pick up his game at Best Buy...

Not sure what to do! I wonder if I can just head over to one and just ask for it.
 
Added myself to the Google Doc. Hope to see you all soon.
I'm praying this community won't know me as the Infinite Salt Response Generator™ too. :P

if your urine is that color please, seek help



yeah but really, who cares? this kind of stuff usually only happens in the immediate short term anyway. also if people want to judge games like that, more power to them. those kinds of habits are toxic for the industry and are one of the many reasons why we are where we are today in regards to the industry as a whole.

I 100% agree. Just saying that it could negatively impact sales and that's too bad.
 
Got the game today and while I had fun, I am not sure if I am going to stick around playing the game once I have finished story mode as on-line doesn't interest me at the moment.

Also I hope that they add a patch to allow off screen play for Single player mode.
 
I really just want the Squid Amiibo so I can get Squid Beats. The rest I can hold off on or live without. This Amiibo craze has been so annoying though. I pretty much gave up getting any at first so I wouldn't have to deal with long lines or instant pre-order sell outs. I'm trying to make a stand here and get something I really want, but events are just making this not worth the trouble.

I even digitally pre-loaded the game. I'm literally on line just for Amiibos. And I feel stupid.
 
I'm thinking the OT title should've been:

Splatoon |OT| That's why you're still a Squid!

Points to whoever gets the reference. ;)

Edit: Just saw a video with the credits (it shows the final boss fight so beware if you're hunting for a credits vid)), and Monolith helped out with the game, I would assume that's the usual Kyoto support team.

The credits are very poorly done, where you have to spray the whole screen continuously to show them. Why would you do this?

Anyone got the names of the character designer and composer(s)? That part was missing in the video because the guy didn't figure that out until near the end, understandably.
 
So my amiibo inkling girl had this wonky eye. Her left-eye pupil was facing the wrong way, gving her a weird expression and it was missing a bit of black in it. I decide, as the dapper gentleman I am, to help her using a permanent marker. It's just a case of making a little dot, I can do that.

So I find this relatively thin marker from the top drawer of my computer-desk (it's inteded for marking CD's), turn the lamp up real nice and bright and gently tap the marker on the eye. Job done. Except, after this great success I feel a surge of confidence riding through my body, it's ready. I can do anything. I am an opththalmologist god! So I brashly decide to extend her pupil a bit towards the centre so the poor lass doesn't have such a bad case of chamelon-eyes. I make a few gentle brushes with the marker, and sure enough... it looks a bit better. So I apply some more for god-knows-why and of course I overdo it. Now she looks like she's trippin' balls. Fuck.

I rush off to the bathroom and dip a q-tip in some nail-polish, thinking that if I'm careful enough it'll probably just remove the fresh layer of permanent ink I just put on. Probably. It doesn't. I quickly realise it's doing more harm than planned and apply some toilet-paper so I can asess the damage. It's bad. The polish took off her entire eye, the black mask-like outline, parts of both eyebrows and discoloured her face. Double Fuck.

I attempt to apply more permanent marker to re-paint the missing eye, but you know it doesn't look any good. It's no precision tool, and I damn sure ain't feeling like some big-shot surgeon anymore. I just took off half this girls face! Humbled and annoyed by the experience, I order a replacement online just a couple minutes after, alongside a male counterpart for good measure. And then I write a lenghty post about it to warn others not to fall into temptation. Congrats if you made it this far, I guess. I learned something today; All amiibos are beautiful, and plastic surgery always ends up badly. At least I no longer feel like attempting a nose-job on a villager.

Is there any footage of the amiibo mini games out there?

Dang that sucks :/

But I can't help but be reminded of that one spongebob episode with mr krab's millionth dollar lol

pics pls?
 
Hmm. Are they going to be any other opportunities to try out the game other than those Testfire sessions? Some kind of demo?

I've had a passing interest in the game, checked out a japanese stream last night, and it's still tough to tell if it's something that I'll really like. I don't think I'll have any irl friends to play with but there's always GAF for that. Decisions!

How about single player?

It's still not there as I said. But you don't need both for singleplayer so it's a bummer they didn't at least support it for that.

Except not. You always end up losing something no matter how you slice it. It has been discussed/argued to death in the other threads before launch. They'll never update it for multiplayer. Singleplayer is your only chance.
