Splatoon is Nintendo's unique twist on the shooter genre. Shoot ink on both your friends and environments to win the match! Players can turn into squids and 'swim' through their team's ink color. Players can also use their team's ink color to slow down enemy movement. It's ink or be inked in this chaotic marriage of third person shooters, de Blob, and good ole fashioned paintball.
I believe that review embargoes tend to be lifted about a week before a game's release, so we'll probably have to wait a bit longer before reviews get posted.
I'm logged in on the demo but I can't be in the chat. I'll be playing though! Alternating with my girlfriend who will be trying it for the first time. I will take photos for stats, lol.
This is really in stark contrast to the last testfire session when everything ran smoothly and awesomely. Maybe this test isn't to test the game, but to test our patience. You know, to see how quickly we deteriorate due to Splatoon abstinence.
@r_hjort Haha, yeah I actually just found out that my son really likes to watch the squid jump. So there's that at least! Plus, this "searching for a battle to join" music is kind of hypnotic... EDIT - Unfortunately, it's almost my son's bedtime so I have to bow out. Blah.
