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.
Ah, yeah, I wanted confirmations so that I could ensure nobody had a slot that didn't work. Awesome! This means everyone is good to go with the slot I made for them. Heck yeah! Three straight days of E3 Nintendo gaming discussion goodness. Now back to Splatoon.
P.S. Keep an eye out for that survey Tuesday night.
So is my router completely horrible tonight, or is it Nintendo's servers? Pretty annoying night, to be honest. Lots of glitching (paint not being filled in) and disconnects. Not sure what the problem is linked to.
But really, I think you just vote in a simple poll and then if the people who voted for the same thing perform better than the other side, you all win an item that lets you add an extra slot to an item. That's about what I remember from the Splatoon Direct awhile ago.
Some Splatfest Battle music. The Squid Sisters deliver catchier tunes than anyone on any contemporary top 10 list. I'm listening to this for the fourth time in a row now, and I can't stop smiling. Onto my iPod it goes.
Not a single post yesterday? Wow! I've been away from the game because of work/play/E3 but I am hoping to hop on briefly tonight to try out the new weapon coming out at 10PM!!!
I don't get the Jet Squelcher weapons. Or some of the other weapons in that case. Some barely paint anything and run out of paint super quick. I don't see the plus side to some of these.
I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but the L-3 Nozzlenose is actually pretty fun to use. The burst-fire design allows for some pinpoint accuracy that makes it feel like a combination of a rapid-fire weapon and a charger weapon.
Also, good games, Guillaume and Fabien. It was awesome when we had three charger users on the same team!
So weird that the game doesn't show you at the very least people's Miis, so that you can confirm that, yes, it IS the Peter you know and not some other person.
