Nah. I'm Eastern time, so I forget that a lot of Western folk hop on now. It's 1am for me but still early-ish for them. Maybe I'll start the stream back up and dominate him.

I missed your stream so...I wouldn't mind :]

 

[Smiles and Cries]

He is finding matches instantly everytime.

Maybe you are too high leveled and can't find people your level.

so he has been streaming for 3 hours now
there is no 1 hour limit anymore?

 

[NateDrake]

I'm back up and streaming.

To be fair, he's spent like 90% of that time doing nothing while talking and conducting a poll about what pizza he should order.

 

[JohnTinker]

All hail Jeff, stream savior

[RagnarokX]

Badass moment taking out an enemy camping a high vantage point immediately followed by embarassingly turning into a squid over grating and committing suicide

I felt like an ass when that happened lol. I thought "Well...that was terrible and will look pretty bad on the stream."

 

[Smiles and Cries]

love that dub reggae beat

[Smiles and Cries]

I want to capture Andre getting splatted go Nate!

 

[Grinchy]

[RagnarokX]

Andre's skill is no match for having runjdrun and josh thomas on is team.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

[NateDrake]

Damnit Nate you made me think my Wii U external hdd broke

lmao sorry about that. Had to plug my laptop in and pulled the wrong plug. Everything is back up and running.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

this game is fun to watch when you have people you want to see splatted

tweeted the Matt pic to Andre Segers

 

[NateDrake]

One more game and my stream will be done for the night.

 

[Annoying Old Party Man]

Has everyone moved to Ranked Battles? Been trying to play some Turf Wars to level up and it is impossible :-(

 

[jariw]

Has it been confirmed that the amiibo gear/weapons have unique stats? Or are they just exclusive skins of existing ones?

 

[oti]

I have yet to play a single ranked battle. I'm level 20 now.

 

[DaBoss]

Will you be uploading the stream on to YouTube, Nate? Power went out for a sec so my computer got turned off so I missed the rest of the stream.

Has it been confirmed that the amiibo gear/weapons have unique stats? Or are they just exclusive skins of existing ones?

I saw the sub and special weapons of the amiibo splat charger and it had the same sub and special weapons of the normal splat charger. If its stats are the same, then it would just be a reskin.

 

[noshten]

Some people in the UK are apparently already receiving the game, they are unable to login the Multiplayer. I wish I had the game already

so all those reviewers will keep those stats at launch would make it harder for newbies to get a match with them?

is there a level cap?

I read that reviewers will lose all their progress at launch because they are playing on special review servers and the progress will not carry over into the regular online.

The level cap is 20 atm

Don't worry. We'll get the retail version. No data transfer. Everyone starts at level 1.

 

[TheMoon]

I wonder if for the testfire they will put the testers in alongside the reviewers or different servers will be reserved.

can't do that because reviewers have more maps and ALL the equipment. we're literally playing different games.

Does Twitch work on the WiiU browser? I thought it didnt?

Wish they'd develop s native app.


edit: holy cow it takes a while to find matches. this'll no doubt be fixed next week when the whole world is playing?

Twitch livestreams always played fine on Wii U's browser. It's archives that don't work because twitch still hasn't joined HTML5 land for them.

The Guardian posted the first Splatoon review

In Splatoon, Nintendo’s uniquely family-friendly take on multiplayer shooting games, paint replaces live ammunition, charming tentacle-headed skater-types replace heavily armed Americans, and rather than simply shooting your foes, you win by spattering as much of the arena as possible in your paint’s colour. Arenas are designed like multi-level skate parks, with jumps and smooth transitions you can glide over before popping out and giving the opposition a damn good painting. Winning matches earns new weapons (if you consider a paint roller to be a weapon), but more surprising is that the chaotic and absurdly competitive multiplayer game is complemented by a fully formed single-player mode. From the basic premise, Splatoon conjures dozens of fresh ideas, combining moving platforms, grids you can slip through, and exploding paint-filled objects. Beautiful and wildly addictive, this joins Mario Kart as one of the finest multiplayer games available.

I've got my copy but the servers don't seem to be online?!
Edit: I can't go in stores because I need to connect and when I go to the lobby it says you need to connect to receive news and just takes me to the plaza?

 

[Ulysses 31]

You mean the service is not available for a game that's not officially out yet?

 

[uncleniccius]

I know that's the case, but others seem to be playing which is confusing.

You mean the journalist or players?

Didn't someone say earlier everyone will start from lvl 1 may 28/29.

I think it's a bit of both?
Maybe it is ID based or they are specific times?
I've never had this problem before, but I guess I've never had a game a week early before either lol.

I did play some single player.. And it seems pretty boring, it is all about the multiplayer in this though.

 

[DaBoss]

Only the press have access to online cause they have a special version of the game. The actual game's online isn't up yet.

Thanks for the clarification, I guess I'll leave it for a bit then.

 

[Neff]

Got mine too

 

[Exile20]

Got mine too

This is a worse feeling than when reviewers got their game. congrats tho.

 

[Jintor]

Ugh downside of the eshop, no chance whatsoever of early copies

You guys are lucky! From whom did you buy your copies?

 

[NotLiquid]

So are people going to blaze through Single Player while they have the head start or are they just going to wait for the planned multiplayer DLC to unlock next week since Nintendo didn't finish the game ( ͝° ͜ʖ͡°)

 

[GeekyDad]

Spoiler thread? There's a story?

 

[uncleniccius]

Simplygames for me, they sent them out yesterday so I got lucky.

The single player is super uninspiring, hopefully the mp meets the hype.

 

[uncleniccius]

I would speed through the story but it is so boring that I might not bother. I haven't played much, but the mission design leaves a lot to be desired and isn't up to even basic third person shooters imo. I'd rather they invested the time in the mp.

Spoiler thread? There's a story?

There is definitely a story, I'm not sure how well it holds up though.
