This holiday, if Ninty can release a Splatoon "GOTY" console bundle I might be intrigued to check it out.
The thread is just filled with these. But I'm pretty sure we saw that coming
Discussing the low number of maps at launch (5) is fine and should be discussed. But some people are just coming in here to shit post and dip.
It's a bummer that EAD decided to go this route with the maps. It's a strange design decision but I understand why they did it. Most people are just going to think they're just starving players from extra content but it's pretty much the same thing they're doing with their rank mode. For rank, they want people to get enough experience playing the game so people wouldn't just go into rank mode and get destroyed and not know what to do.
They want the community to slowly get used to the starting maps/modes and roll new stuff out steadily.
All those maps seem to be done, they're releasing every few weeks after launch, it's not like they're just buying time for themselves.
Most people seem to think that we wont be seeing new maps till months from now or something.
sorry if this has been addressed before but can you play this game without the standard wii u control pad? my controller is busted (literally) and I need to send it off for repair so I don't want to get the game at launch if I can't even play it.
I think they were told to hold back maps for every couple of weeks since the summer release list is pretty barren. So instead of launching the game in May with 10 maps or whatever, release it with 5 and then release more over the summer to keep people talking about that instead of the lack of games.
No, you can only play local 1 vs 1 with one person using a different controller.
Don't they have Yoshi's Wooly World launching in a few weeks though?

End of June (in the EU only) then nothing till Mario Maker in September atm (though reckon we could see something announced at E3)
In Europe, the game still doesn't have a release date in America for some reason

There's already a Splatoon Wii U bundle being released. What would would be in a GOTY bundle?
Lol all that salt over some good reviews.
I'm curious what their plans for Xenoblade and Star Fox are. So far it's
September: Mario Maker
October: Fatal Frame
November: Yoshi
So Xenoblade August and Star Fox December?
I haven't informed myself at all about the game yet so I'm just going to use this thread: can I do the Mario Kart 8 thing with Splatoon? Meaning, can I play splitscreen with a friend and online with other people at the same time? That is really the "to buy or not to buy" question for me.

Thanks for the prompt answer. Bummer. :-/Unfortunately that's not an option. Can't say whether it's because the game takes a performance hit when doing split screen local or because they prioritized the Gamepad functionalities, but yeah. It's a bummer and a feature I really hoped they'd have in.
Well, that's something at least.Nope. Online is one person per system. Separate game mode for 1v1 where the screen and game pad are split on one console.
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.
Splatoon with all patches pre-installed? Like most game companies do for reprints anyways
Looks like the big surprise is the single payer. Nobody seemed to expect a full fledged single player experience.
Here's a wild concept: it's fun. I mean, that's the whole point of games for most people, having fun.
Not having 30 maps, 15 modes and a bunch of other bullet points that you don't even play but once or twice. But hey, it's there, so it must be an awesome game!
Gametrailers touches on the music a little bit in their video
Yeah the music in this game is refreshing and awesome. I hope with their next big expansion they also bundle in new tracks.
IGN whines about that it needs more content even though more content is already slated to be added in the coming months
Edit: I know they aren't reviewing what's not in the game yet, but they score they give it now is the score people are going to remember, not the score they might ive it after the new modes are added
Call me unrealistic and setting myself up for dissapointment, but im 99% confident Hideki Naganuma will work on some tracks.

Yea but it's still perfectly justifiable. This looks like the game was rushed to release, instead of waiting to have all the content in at the start. Just because it's getting free content in the coming months, doesn't mean it's worth the $60 right now.
