Splatoon Gameplay

When playing online you can visit the plaza where different stores are available to assist you with your customizations. There are weapons, head gear and different clothing that could sway your outcome in battle. Or, if you prefer, just make yourself look good.

Three different kinds of weapons are part of your arsenal. Your main will be of primary use. A sub weapon is handy when it comes to blocking an opponents path or setting up traps. And then there are specials which completely turn the fight around.


May cant get here soon enough.

The character pictured above is named Anemo, named for the sea anemone in her hair (notice the Clownfish in there as well). She runs the “Okashira-dou” shop, which sells Gear such as hats, glasses, headphones and gas masks. She is the counterpart to the Weapons store run by Bukichi the horseshoe crab.
 
I wonder if this is one of those games where you simply have to play it to get it, because there is nothing here that makes me want pick this game up. Hopefully there's a demo.
 
Sure would be nice to play this right now

This store in the plaza is a one-stop shop for all your clothing needs. If our intel is reliable, it offers a wide selection of threads that are both functional and fashionable. Although, they never seem to have any pants in stock. Probably because jellyfish prefer to go au naturel.

Each piece of gear comes with one perk, but can gain new ones the more it’s used. Each item also contains one top-class perk, just waiting to be unlocked! I guess practice really does make perfect!

New report! We’ve learned that headgear, clothing, and shoes all have different attributes that benefit those who wear them into battle. For example,this item comes equipped with “Ink Saver (Main),” which cuts down on the ink needed to fire your main weapon. There are apparently a whole lot more perks like this!

  1. Working on a local multiplayer mode in addition to online and Hero Mode
  2. Hero mode is predominantly a 3D platformer with heavy emphasis on human-squid transformations
  3. Random matching is done world wide, game tries to place you with players close to your skill level based on ratings
  4. Tried implementing a system whereby you could give orders to your team mates, but battles were too quick and hectic for them to be ffective so they got rid of the feature
  5. Game won’t use CPU fighters; only once 8 human players have been found will a match start
  6. Having multiple modes with random matching would limit the number of players per mode, so all the focus is on the 4 vs. 4 for that
  7. No communication with players you are matched with
  8. They didn’t think of using Bloopers when they decided on squids (they apparently forgot they existed)
  9. No money can be earned in Hero Mode. Your points, as displayed at the end of the match, are turned into money and experience points.
  10. A lot of the music is written by Tooru Minegishi (who has worked on Zelda, Animal Crossing, and Super Mario)
From Famitsu.

7. good grief wtf ?
 
I just don't see the appeal in this game.
It could have a tattoo on its forehead that says "I'M AWESOME" and I still wouldn't believe it. It looks like Team Fortress 2 except with less content and more of a tribute to de Blob. Maybe I would like to be wrong, but I have no interest in this game. None. And that's surprising, considering it's a new IP by Nintendo.
 
Could be fun but I think this will bomb. Even if it was on PS and Xbox as well.

But could be the U's Plants vs Zombies which was great.
 
You can download a beta today which opens up tomorrow at 8pm PST for one hour. Then twice on Saturday. Not sure the times.
 
Damn that game is fun. Nintendo has knocked it out of the park with this one.
 
My 4yr old screams every time this commercial comes on, this looks so cute for him but not sure how hard it is? Plus I sold my Wii U, might have to buy it again, lol.....Does this have local co op? Split Screen online MP?

Click to expand...

And I thought not having the ability to chat during races in MK8 was bad. This went from caught my eye to ruined in an instant.
 
^ curious to know as well. Originally was really looking forward to it, then lost interest. But now watching someone stream the game I must have it... I think.
 
I sent some impressions to Plainview. In short, it's awesome.
 
Tried the game later that night and after the first game dropped, I was able to play another three or so, the last two of which I dominated the kiddies. Fun ass game when it works.
