Gamestop has a bundle listing for the pink/green pro controller and has a splatoon grip

I'll be pissed if I have to import, I want to have pink and blue on my switch and give friends the red and green watermelon combo.

will you be able to aim in all directions with motion controls?
I distinctly remember being able to only aim up and down with motion controls and left and right with the stick (or the other way around), I fucking hated it but I really want to like the game

>>382897818
how likely is splitscreen multiplayer online? I don't want to buy the game twice

>>382898549
Id imagine they'll announce them officially in the direct, no reason not to

>>382897893
You bastard

>>382902268
0

I fell for the arms meme and ill probably fall for this one too

>>382904013
Splatoon has already proven itself to be a good game, though.

>>382902114
I'm pretty sure motion had full range and analog stick was only left/right, when you used them together.

>>382902268
i hope at the least they do split screen against AI or something.

>>382902114
i'm almost certain you could aim all directions with motion controls in the first one

Is this another motion controls bullshit? Will I be gimped for using standard controls like with arms?

>>382897893
...And?

>>382904636
It has gyro controlled aiming but a lot of people don't use it, myself included

where can I pre-order the digital version

Hopefully they'll show whatever is replacing miiverse posting

FYI Splatoon 2 preorders on Amazon right now for $47 (at least in the US)

>>382904636
You will be more gimped in Splatoon than you were with Arms. You use a gyroscope for aiming in conjunction with the analog stick, it's much easier to get used to than Arms's motion controls, and you can more tangibly feel your aim improve.

If you just want to play casually, you can probably still ignore the motion controls, but the upper tier of ranked mode in Splatoon 1 got pretty brutal, I can't imagine finding much success there when you gimp yourself. Unless you are extraordinary or your team is carrying you.

GLOBAL TESTFIRE OR WE RIOT

>>382904929
Amazon been had preorders open since it was announced

>>382904963
They already had a global testfire. Assuming the testfire is being used as advertised, for testing the online functionality and making adjustments as necessary, it's pointless to do one right before the game comes out.

>>382905063
im just saying it's cheap, I'm assuming the game will be 59.99 when it releases

>>382904946
Cheers, saved me making another mistake

>>382905102
There might still be fans who don't know the game is coming out, so another testfire will get their attention

>>382905173
if you dismiss a game just at the thought of motion controls then yeah don't buy it, in fact probably don't buy a switch

>>382905237
if people still don't know the game is coming out yet another testfire won't make them aware

>>382905274
Motion controls are a meme and therefore all games that punish you for not using them are as well

>>382905419
Playing a shooter with analog sticks is more of a punishment.

>>382905419
Gyro aiming actually is very intuitive, but by all means let's be dismissive just because. The reason you're at a disadvantage for not using the gyro controls is because they are so good and intuitive, not because the designers intended to punish you for not using them, you can still have a full experience using stick controls, it's just like trying to use a gamepad in a PC fps

>>382905646
Agreed but I just want to chill on my couch and not flail my arms around like a peasant

>>382905419
You can play the game just fine without motion controls.
The only motion control in the game is the entirely optional ability to tilt the controller and make fine adjustments to your aim.
The gyro controls in this game have been proven, time and time again, to be more accurate than analog controls. Not because the analog controls are gimped, but because the finer degrees of movement possible with gyro adjustments to analog movement simply make better players.
You are not "punished" for using only analog controls in Splatoon the same way you aren't "punished" for using a controller when you could be using a mouse and keyboard.
It's not a meme. It's simply a control option which gives more accuracy. It's not a gimmick.

>>382905864
you don't flail your arms, just flick your wrist a bit. It's like using a mouse

>>382905419
It doesn't punish you for not using them. It's just better with them because motion controls naturally allow for better aiming. Like, Splatoon controls easier than most other shooters that don't use motion controls just because it does use them.

>>382905962
>>382905968
>>382906024
How do you move with waggle? Is it like with arms?

>>382901178
Watermelons are pink retard

>>382906170
You use the gyro for aiming. The other controls are just like any other shooter.

>>382906170
You don't move with waggle.
Literally all you do is tilt the controller to adjust your aim. You move and look around with dual analogs, just like in any other shooter - the only difference is that you can adjust where you're aiming by tilting the controller.

I'm hoping for a test fire. I know they did it a few times before but i didn't have my Switch back then. I didn't like the first game that much despite being extremely hyped for it. But I wanna get this considering there's not really much more to play until Mario.

a general recap of whats in the game. They haven't really explained the 2 hour online tourneys yet. Need to go over splatfests. The place where you go to get haircuts.

>>382908442
Well yeah you're using roller. No need to aim to get your job done, so you don't even need gyro, you easy mode playing fuck.

The best of balance, and it felt like I earned S Rank when I got to it.

What if you're just trash with gyro? I main E-Liter and the only problem I have with gyro is on Moray. You should consider getting better aim.

Gimme dat regional match making

>>382902114
I had the same problem at first but then realized to aim left/right with motion controls, you have to rotate the gamepad around(like a steering wheel) and not tilt it(which you could do in other games that had motion controls, but not in splatoon for some reason). Analog aiming however is left&right only.

>>382900262
I hope they make a second wave for their Splatoon 2 appearances. Marie in her traditional wear and Callie in whatever the fuck she's gonna be wearing.

>>382916007
cool clip, rainy

Hopes? One more weekend long testfire. That's it, basically.

>>382918094
And it takes so long for a Liter to get to max charge, so why bother? It was only so strong because it had options up close due to stacking a bunch of damage. Also, scopes can't store their charge.
