Does Nintendo plan to sell new maps for Splatoon or release them free of charge? If they are taking the paid route, I won't even bother with this game.
They're free.

All the post release content announced so far is free as far as we knowI don't really do competitive FPS anymore, but giving a damn about "number of maps" has always seemed odd to me. Then again, I was big into Counter Strike and Quake multiplayer back in the day and outside of some outlying servers playing wacky stuff, you typically would be on a rotation of a small number of popular maps that rose to the top. Or in Counter Strike's case, a lot of places would just be Dust.
The quality of the maps is definitely much more important.

In the interest of fairness, we should wait until release date and maybe even a few weeks before we can assure that this won't have problems connecting to games.

Those games usually have their map selection split up between gamemodes. I believe Halo 4 only had like 5 or 6 maps for normal 4v4 play at launch. Out of those, only 2 of them were not trash, so hopefully Splatoon beats that.Can you imagine if Halo, BF or CoD launched with 5 maps? 5 fucking maps is pathetic.
I don't care if there's free DLC on the way.
It launched with 5 maps
I can't wait to see how this one sells. Will be very interesting. My expectations are low.
Should do reasonably well. I think 1 million+ is very doable. There has been quite a bit of hype around it, it's been received well so far, and it's been getting a pretty good marketing pushI can't wait to see how this one sells. Will be very interesting. My expectations are low.
If any other company released a game with 2 game modes and 5 maps, withouth voice chat with friends, with content locked behind amiibo and with the promises of new future content they would have given them 5/10 all the way.
But it's a nintendo game so they give it tons of 9/10.
What's the split screen like?
Maybe it's just that fun?If any other company released a game with 2 game modes and 5 maps, withouth voice chat with friends, with content locked behind amiibo and with the promises of new future content they would have given them 5/10 all the way.

It must be hard to understand for people who don't touch Nintendo games, I must reckon.If any other company released a game with 2 game modes and 5 maps, withouth voice chat with friends, with content locked behind amiibo and with the promises of new future content they would have given them 5/10 all the way.

There isn't any I believe. 1v1 has one player on the gamepad and the other on the TV. You can't go online with two players on one system.

From what I've heard, the lack of maps feels alright seeing how "new" the game feels.If any other company released a game with 2 game modes and 5 maps, withouth voice chat with friends, with content locked behind amiibo and with the promises of new future content they would have given them 5/10 all the way.

the funny thing is that it is getting penalized for the disappointing online features and lack of content. it seems that the gameplay is so good it overshadows those things to an extent.
Any of the reviews really discuss the music and audio of the game?
What is the 1v1 like I meant?

This game got Amiibos, it's alreadypopular.scalped
Yup. Read a bunch of the reviews and a lot of them boil down to "yeah the content is sparse for now but omg the core gameplay is fucking awesome". That Nintendo magic. I cannot wait until Friday.
Even a year later I'm still playing MK8 so I'm really excited about the future of Splatoon.
NintendoLife did: "The audio in the game is quite enjoyable, but the background music fits into quite specific genres and may not appeal to some people. The music largely fades into the background once you're in a game, though, so it's not really too much of an issue."
How many frames/pixels is fun?Maybe it's just that fun?
750k-1 million worldwide seems pretty reasonable. Wii U audience is starved for games since third parties 99% left and the game looks pretty good so why wouldn't a few buy it.
We could say the same thing for other plateform, just look how hungry players are for any new AAA games that come out on their console.
Or stolen, in the case of Game UK's lorry!This game got Amiibos, it's alreadypopular.scalped
Because it would delay the release of the game.what the f*ck are you doing nintendo? why would you release a new big IP in such a state that allows everyone to complain "content, content, content".... ?? I mean, that very "unnintendo". The game got good reviews, but they could have been better.
There's a lot of reviews that go "original, brilliant, fun, etc... BUT content..." . People clearly wanted to score the game higher, BUT content...

It's surprising, because nintendo tends to be "overprotective" with their games.
None of the reveiws that I've seen really talk about the music and audio at all. Those that do seem to really enjoy the music especially - something we've come to expect from Nintendo, probably.
GameXplain probably touches on it the best that I've seen. Basically, both single player and multiplayer have their own unique music that is catchy, but in single player particularly, it repeats maybe just a bit too much, so there could be room for more. Also, the music/audio(?) becomes muffled if you're in squid form in the ink. Neat touch.

Ah gotcha. Yeah I noticed the muffling of the music during the Testfire which I thought was a great little touch. I spoiled some of the in game music from YouTube but ugh it sounds so good. Every time I see something Splatoon related the theme song starts playing in my head. So ctachy.
Man this kind of post is getting really tiresome.
