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.

Well I made it up to champion this time... a step up from my defender rank last splatfest.

I may have to fake illness so I can get to the top ranking next splatfest

Holy crap, 63% voted for eating compared to 37% votes for sleeping! We still won more matches at 52% against Team Eating's 48%, but it wasn't enough to get us into the top spot.

Team Eating won over Team Sleeping, 159 - 141.

I still got 18 Sea Snails, and won the vast majority of my matches, so I'm happy!

I missed it completely! Ironically because I was sleeping ....And I barely ate that weekend. Hmm.

(I was sick, I have an excuse)

Not a big fan of Moray Towers in splat zones due to the chargers and tiny zones. Tower control is a bit better.

I finally got to actually partake in the Splatfest. I didn't even know it was a special mode.

Everything looks awesome at night and better mal selection is cool too. Weird how Ranked disappears though. Didn't expect that.

Tried out the new charger... not a fan of it at all. The distance is really huge but it loses a lot on the charge speed which I prefer for this. Probably has advantages in maps that have a better standing ground. Moray Towers would be great for it I think.

@VofEscaflowne

I won my first and only match I played with it, but I tend to agree.

I had kind of an ugly night. Yeesh!

@TriforceBun

Yeah same here. I started off well earlier but then it just all went downhill. It's like no matter what I did, there was always someone waiting behind me or I was facing multiple people. And those Inkzookas! Gah! They ALWAYS hit me! I can never hit anyone with them and it seems everyone else auto hits me, even when I'm sure they don't even know I'm there.

I don't play this game super-often but I really really enjoy it. I'm usually the top player in each round. I love the platforming aspects of the game, I think that's probably what gives me my advantage. I'm not used to doing so well in online shooters.

I am still only Level 9 though... maybe it gets harder later?

@VofEscaflowne

Yeah, I had a poor night as well, until I switched back to my shiny golden weapon. I've reached level 20, so now I'm just having fun experimenting with new weapons and clothes. Still lots of fun to be had.

@Secret_Tunnel

The skill level definitely increases once your level starts to get higher. I was in match with all level 20 players, and it was extremely difficult for me. Players from across the Pacific are very skilled.

Moray Towers is incredible. I heard the map was different and very vertical but I wasn't expecting this. So well done.

Reminds me more of the Single Player designs which I loved. More of this please.

I'm leaving for the next 10 days… and they're releasing a new level tonight… ah well… I'll play it eventually!

07/24/15, 13:23   
Finally! I've been waiting for this one. Visually it is so different than the rest that even if it's only okay, I'll still like playing it.

Camp Triggerfish! Looking forward to this for sure. I wonder if there're any other "non-urban" environments out there for Splatoon. Wouldn't it be wild to throw down ink in a grassy forest...or a desert?

I think I joined a game with level 20 Carlos and his level 20 pals last night where I was literally the only non level 20 in the match (I was at 8ish) and subsequently did really poorly and lost the match for Carlos and friends.

Sorry!

Sorry Carlos!

If it wasn't carlosrox then it wasn't really me. Even if so, no biggie.

Now I'm trying to remember if I saw an Andrew or not.
Is that your Mii name?

That new map is pretty interesting. Feels like chargers definitely have a huge advantage in this one.
07/25/15, 05:27   
@VofEscaflowneYeah, I got smoked a few times by Fabien and his instadeath-charger!

@cooliocuneo

What's your in-game name? I know TBun and Lou were there but I didn't really recognize anyone else from my friends list having joined.
