Great footage, but perfect example of why Nintendo decided to axe voice communication. I only hope they'll bring it in August with friends games but it's never ever getting in on pubs.

Haha, good point. That kid is unbearable to listen to.
 
Oh didn't notice, good point

Gamexplain mentioned in the comments he was there for the first half of the match, which is how he got killed twice according to the end screen

I do wonder why most shooters don't account for this though. Just make it so the other team can only have 3-players at a time too then, cycling in the resting one with each death
 
Still lurking Amazon.fr everyday and still no amiibos, the game release in less than 2 weeks so I'm worried.
I only need the Squid one for the rhythm game.

there is a perk to counter this. Wierd it is a perk tho. Should be automatic

Tenacity: Fills special gauge automatically if your team has fewer active players than the enemy.

I thought that was meant to fill your special guage automatically while waiting for teammates to respawn. It rewards your tenacity at remaining alive while your teammates are getting killed, hence the name.
 
Regardless of the fact that only the press have the game, this should not happen team-wise:

The full game will pair you up with similarly leveled people in Regular Battle, I think.

I don't really find the dominating matches to be entertaining, to be honest. I wish he would upload gameplay similar to the Splat Zones one. That was very interesting, especially overtime.
 
rage quitting already? The game isn't even out yet :p
(there might have been connection issues, but eh)

yeah, I'm regularly checking amazon to see if the amiibos became available again

I would prefer closer matches but if not he could atleast use a different weapon.
 
So someone on SquidBoards had an interesting theory about "Utility Abilities". It was that you can only get them on certain gear types. So for example, Ninja Squid would only be found on Clothing.

Here's the list I've come up with based on the theory.
Headgear: Opening Gambit, Last-Ditch Effort, Tenacity, Comeback
Clothing: Cold Blooded, Ninja Squid, Haunt
Shoes: Recon, Bomb Sniffer, Ink Resistance Up, Stealth Jump

Referred to this to group them: http://imgur.com/a/JQRrD

Of course that is just a theory, but it seems very likely. Especially since the grouping of abilities on this fits way too much to be a coincidence lol.

Trying to show my friend an attractive example of Splat Zones. Anyone have a good gameplay video from it?
I think the link in the above post is good.

These two are my favorites:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFuMiZjxhsc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZehXrZV8II (this one was from a press event a while back, but man is it crazy how clutch it was)
 
At least two of them think the splat screen music is annoying. I can't remember if they commented onon the other stuff but if they did they didn't like it.

The music is awesome period. I'd hate to hear what they have to say about...games like Jet Set Radio, No More Heroes, or Mad World / Anarchy Reigns.

C'mon Jordan. You had one job lol.

Another NintendoWorldReport Podcast by another team.

They say they liked the TestFire, but ain't confident that Nintendo can pull off a Multiplayer-Focused game and not have low population counts or mess up ranks like Master Chief Collection.

Also note that atleast 2 of the 4 people didn't watch the Direct and expect the story mode to be like Titanfall's. Saying that they expect it to be like multiplayer, just with cutscenes...lol...

Also, they say rollers are OP.

Also, they went into the Demo and wondered why the Pro Controller never worked with it as they said it was natural to try to.

And the website is called NintendoWorldReport?

You don't even have to have watched the latest direct (which is on YouTube and available at any time for everybody to watch and if you work or volunteer for a Nintendo news site, you should've) they released a single player trailer like 9 months ago, so there's absolutely no excuse for the disinformation. Shameful honestly, and indirectly hurts the game.

Some interesting splat charger plays from Splatoon's twitter account:

Awesome footage, the guy was a beast with it.
I know the had a similar video of the long range splatter gun, anything else the have?
 
the NWR has their own thread and their members are in there too, so go chat there if you want. I think the crew makes some good points regarding multiplayer + nintendo etc
 
Mario needs the ability to stay the hell out of this game. Inklings are way cooler than the old fart.

Mario is the final boss after you collect all the scrolls and reach lvl 20 in multiplayer. It's really cool. You paint the surfaces and he just washes your ink away. Challenging boss.

I lied

I don't really get how you can (judging by the sites name) be a Nintedo-centric site and not know these details. I understand that not everyone has time to watch a Direct or whatever but it takes two seconds to find a summary via google. Like, the story mode has featured on two Directs now.

Well to be honest Radio Free Nintendo is more for entertainment than information. Actually I would argue that very few podcasts are for information.

They continually are wrong but that's not a reason to not listen. Can't worry what someone says at a point in time with not perfect information when they recorded it. If you do have a beef you can comment I. The RFN gag thread that the guys do read and reply to.
 
A writer for the Swedish mag Gamereactor, who is reviewing the game, posted some quick impressions saying that even though he had little to no anticipation for the game during it's reveal, he's found himself a victim to the "just one more round" symptom.

I really can't wait to play the full game.
