Splatoon Discussion (Nintendo Wii U) [game]
 
Splatoon on the Wii U
9.14/10 from 33 user ratings

Welcome to the official discussion thread for Splatoon on the Wii U!

To start, please add this game to your log, add it to your collection (if applicable), and (when you are ready) rate it using the link above!
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.

That's genius! My siblings ordered it for me online for my birthday...can I still get the water gun?

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.

@TriforceBun It's in store only. Might actually convince me to pick it up there, my 5yr old son will love it. Oh who am I kidding, it'd be for me

Refresh my memory, what time is the testfire today, in EDT? Is it on right now? Am I missing it?!

@Mop it up
some website said:
Saturday 23rd May at 3pm Pacific / 6pm Eastern / 11pm UK / midnight CET
So you haven't missed it!

@r_hjort Thanks Splort. I should be able to make it then. Are you going to be in the chat again?
05/23/15, 22:31   
@Mop it up
Haha! Yeah, that's the plan!

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.

Have fun all!!!!

@DrFinkelstein
I'll be playing as well, but like Fink, I can't chat.
Have fun, everyone!

@DrFinkelstein
Same to you guys! I'll just have to pretend I'm you in chat and talk to myself. It won't be creepy at all.

Connection errors out the wazoo! C'mon, game...!
05/24/15, 01:15   
Yeah, one of the connection errors forced me to unplug my Wii U. Eep!

When I said I'd be playing, I meant, I'd be watching a demo crash.

I was lucky enough to get two games in before all this nastiness. Seems the Testfire started a little early.
But now, wah.

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.

Played one game now stuck searching... blah.

Poor "Squid Jump." Now forever associated with negative feelings.
05/24/15, 01:32   
@ploot
Lol, I'm actually quite enjoying it! I'm very disappointed I don't get to splat people, but Squid Jump is a nifty little game.
05/24/15, 01:38   
@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.
