Splatoon |OT| Squidstyler

In my case I'd be returning a sealed copy that I got in the mail in place of the one I bought in store, pretending that the second one is that sealed first copy in other words (so I can start playing sooner).

What do you think?

Sealed copy should be just fine, imo.
If you see the retailer hesitate just say : it was a gift and the person didn't wanted it anymore.

If he is not a jerk, he should refound you since it's sealed.

Do they have the amiibos at target? Best buy?
You may try your luck at Best buy since they announced on NA website that it will be a special for people who're late to buy Splatoon.
I hope for you they will still have the amiibo

p.s : don't forget Gamestop
 
Is there anything special unlocked for having the demo on the system. I never got to actually play during the time frame, not sure if that matters.

NoE gives an eShop discount on the full game for anyone with the demo version. Otherwise, nothing.

Cheers, I think I'll risk it. My only worry is that the mail copy doesn't have the correct seal or something, but we'll see.
 
This is a really small Nintendo kind of detail but I love how if you instantly cycle through shops, the characters end up all disorientated.

Jelonzo's elongated arm is cray.
 
Splatoon takes over UK’s Adrenaline Alley Skatepark

The more I see this sort of thing the more I think Nintendo went from years of conservative advertising to FUCK IT BLOW THE WARCHEST overnight.

Yeah I noticed that too. Actually it was a double "neat" for me that you can instantly cycle through with L/R and the animation that went with it.

Kind of makes you wonder how well Wonderful 101 would have done had they actually told people that the game exists.

They advertised heavily for Mario Kart too.

They pick their spots.

Here, they are probably doing more because it's a brand new IP and harder to convince people.

Sorry, I need a cup of coffee.
The retailer might not accept the sealed copy if he scan it and see that it's not from his store (or he might not and just refund ya)
Better try your luck to resend your copy by mail to its original seller.
 
Little confused about the online MP.

I heard on the Nintendo Voice Chat that matchmaking is coming in August, so how does the game work now then? Can I join a MP match and play with others, like COD?

The game we needed yet didn't deserve. I still feel like in spite of that game's high skill ceiling, it could have gone down better than it did if it was advertised.

It was put out in a time when the world was still reeling from The Avengers and the super hero hype was at it's highest. A game that marketed all that insane action and emphasized the whole "the 101th person is really you" is such a cheesy shtick it'd probably go home super well with certain audiences.

I'm happy that Nintendo are doubling down on Splatoon though.

You can join randoms or a friend's game, however the friend game doesn't let you always be on their team. In August more robust friend options are coming.
 
Whoa matchmaking needs some work. Got teamed up with lv3, lv5 and lv6, I'm lv4. Everyone on the other team was lv16+. Needless to say they had about 90% coverage.
 
No wait, he might scan the product and see if that the game is not from his shop (yes I need a cup of coffee, sorry).
Can't you resend your copy by mail to its original seller ?

Not really an option (the resending bit) since that would mean I'd have to send the amiibo's back as well (as they're part of that same order).

I was also thinking they might scan the game, but at the same time, I could have bought it in a different store or something...?

As long as the game does not have a unique code (as in one unique code per copy) that needs to match up with the receipt, I should be in the clear.

Anyway: it's too late now as my gf already picked a copy up I've just heard. I'll just approach this as an interesting experiment that might end up with me having two copies...or I'll leave my store-bought copy sealed for now just in case...

If anyone here happens to work in retail, and knows about what is scanned or not when returning a game, please give advice!
 
Man idk why but I am not excited about this game at all.

Its like I kind of want to be and it looks good but I just can't muster any interest in playing it.
 
Beat Hero Mode. It was so fun. Took me about 3.5 hours. Some of the Sunken Scrolls are hidden well. I wanted to get the gear you unlock since they have more stars. The final boss is amazing.

So for clothes I already own that means I just have to buy them again once they rotate back in or will I count as already owning them and have to wait for a splatfest to use the currency earned there to level them up.

I guess ordering them form Spyke also works.
You can't buy clothes again and all clothes are fixed in terms of what main ability and the amount of stars they have.

In fairness, advertising always comes with a certain amount of risk, and W101 was never a sure thing.

Splatoon is ten times more marketable due to the nature of it being a multiplayer-focused shooter, so it justifies this kind of push much more.
 
My whole pack of splatoon. Got the inklings just this morning:

They're definitely trying to put Splatoon, especially the Inklings, on the Nintendo map.

Not much better I'd guess. I love the game, but it's niche as fuck.

What clothes did you unlock? And when do the store clothes change?

Have you tried playing it? I had zero interest in it untill I tried out the testfire. Then I was hooked and sad I had to wait 3 more weeks untill it released.
 
You unlock
the hero mode gear and the octoling gear.

They change everyday.

He means at what time.
In Spain at least is 12am (24:00), maybe other countries is different?

You also can get repeats that day, so i wouldnt be surprised you start getting repeats everyday when you are nearly buy al of them.
