I think Smash faggots will get unreasonably angry that their game isn't mentioned in it.

What more could they possibly show of Splatoon?

MORE TESTFIRESSS

>>382658826
This is what i'm wondering

Unless it was a fever dream, we have had the testfire and we know whats up with battle modes.
We've seen a lot of Horde Mode.
We've seen a fair bit of single player.

New ranked mode?

Nintennyearolds jealous they won't be getting Destiny 2 and Battlefront 2 so the pretend their baby shooter 2 is gonna sell and be better

>>382658620
>Over 700k preorders just in japan alone.
Im really thinking Switch case isn Japan is nintendo testing if they can actually make people commit murder

I hope they'll show more offensive ulti's. As now, Splatoon 2 ones are like farts compared to the first game where you had guaranteed KO's for every of these (bar the shield ofc)

What the fuck. This game is for 6 year olds. Don't understand the hype for a baby shooter lol.

>>382659702
ARMS has been fun enough but it is in need of a good content stream and the public execution of Ninjara players.

>>382658162
I doubt they'll announce anything right now when they want to focus on their games this year. Hoping for some Wii U games though, Tropical Freeze, etc.

>>382659812
damn u just btfo us!

>>382659702

>>382659702
should be soon

>>382659812
Wow anon, you did it, you roasted everyone who wants this game, now nobody will want to buy it anymore

YESSS A BLOWOUT

>>382659860
>>382659968
Seriously, what makes this game better than a proper shooter? It's clearly made for children.

>>382659758
>it's okay when Nintendo steals content

>tfw like splatoon and really want to buy and play splatoon 2 but I fucking despise gyro controls

What do guys?
I'll never be as good as some S+ japanese gods using gyro, but I just fucking hate gyro.

>>382660125
Nothing. By all accounts the game is average at best

Is it wrong to expect an online blowout?

>>382660125
It's fun

>>382660130
I can play it any time I want.

>>382659804
>GoW 5
Not if the cUcK can stop that.

>>382660158
why not try to get good at them? they're unintuitive at first but they felt great by the end of the testfire

>>382660268
Not for me, I find them to be shit

Aw yeah, I'm ready

>>382660376
Yes but even though I hate them I am aware that at max skill level you'd do better with gyros than with normal and it bugs me

>>382660450
S is easily doable with classic, but after that it can get tricky

>>382660489
It's entirely possible to git gud without gyro controls, you just need to put in so much more effort that most people would rather not do it. The sticks in this game as notably bad, even compared to other stick shooters.

>just bought BoTW
>have Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade pre-ordered
>thinking about getting Splatoon 2
>tfw I hopped on the Switch train

I haven't played a Nintendo console or game in years, so this we'll see how it goes

>>382658162
>Besides Splatoon 2, do you think they'll talk about anything else?
amiibos, as usual

>>382658162
It's literally a Splatoon direct, why would they show anything else?

That's because Splatoon doesn't do your aiming for you.

>>382659702
>>382659819
Both ARMS Directs had some Splatoon stuff at the end, so maybe they'll do the same thing here. Max Brass's trailer was shown at the end of a japanese tournament last week so it can be too far off.

Splatfests better return

What timeline am I in?

>>382663065
I would like if it had splitscreen, too.

Oh boy! I can't wait to pay $60+online fee to NOT play my favorite game modes online

Based nintendo!

>>382658162
>Besides Splatoon 2,
It says right in the title that its a Splatoon direct. Are you illiterate?

>>382663273
Like any other online game?

>>382663273
When you samefag, subtlety is key.

>>382663065
Yeah, it's weird. But Nintendo at least have more or less always focused on LAN and split-screen over the years. I don't know why companies neglect it considering it's so much fun. More games should have co-op too

I like Splatoon as much as the next guy but do we really need some more explaining of this game?

>>382663746
Getting splitscreen to work is tough.

>>382663443
But no other game does this

>>382663920
If your favorite map or mode doesn't line up with what the community's favorite is, it will never be voted for and never have servers hosting it.

>>382658162
please please please local splitscreen
I would kill for it

>>382664026
But that doesn't happen.

>>382664249
Yes it does. See: Counter Strike

>>382664305
>enter a server for any map you want
>????

Where's the problem

>>382664378
And what if nobody is playing the map and mode I want? Then I'm getting my content stolen by Valve.

>>382664432
>And what if nobody is playing the map

There are always thousands of people playing all versions of CS at all times. It's impossible for there not to be a populated server for one of the maps

>>382664760
Thousands of people playing Dust2, the preferred community map that always gets voted for any time it shows up.

>>382664862
>Thousands of people playing Dust2

And every other map.

>>382664945
Okay, well if it's okay for Valve to force you to go through extra means to get the kind of game you want, why is it suddenly not okay when Nintendo offers the same thing?

>>382665025
>well if it's okay for Valve to force you to go through extra means to get the kind of game you want

But you don't. You just pick a server running the map you want to play. Or just vote for your map in valve's server.

Meanwhile, you're paying to use your own internet and Nintendo still locks you out of ENTIRE GAME MODES.

>>382665319
Nintendo doesn't lock you out of any mode. You can load them up at any time in a private match.

>>382665372
You're literally defending not being allowed to play online despite playing an online fee

Fucking wow. You'll eat up anything

>>382665636
>not being allowed to play
But I am. I literally can play any map and mode I want right now in the first game despite the rotations.

You think they'll be another testfire? Missed the last one and would like to check out the game before I buy.

I think this is a game I may want digitally on my Switch, but I dunno.

>>382658162
Maybe an incredible new feature to change weapon after a game without leaving the lobby.

Or even better, an option to change weapon according to what our teammates are already using, so we're not a full sniper team.

Naaaah probably just some amiibo shit.

>>382666680
It's always the fags who want to play as any species but the default who are the loudest.

>>382666680
?

>>382666704

I'm going digital as I will always go back to it. I know it's no hardship to change carts, but it's just always there if I download it.

>>382666704
Its like 4 gigs
Go for it

>>382666704
I won't go digitally because I don't think it will be one of those games I will go back to play in portable mode when I am outside. As I will be playing it mostly at home online I can just switch the cartridge and leave games like Mario Kart (with all its grand prix and time attacks), Binding of Isaac and Disgaea for digital.

>>382660341
nintendo has been showing their interest in anime lately, splatoon wouldn't be a crazy idea considering japan loves it and it has a manga already

>>382667354
I've heard about the manga, but I've yet to see it. Any links to where to read it?
