>>165417975
Not 100% confirmed if or if not just yet.
Still being discussed.
Even then it might be 40 dollars for a year or something
Friends with Octolings!
guys I took too much 3-MeO-PCE help
New Bomberman Game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f98ZwgzYyig
>>165417729
Oh shit, that's a good point. Imagine, joy-cons that are decorated with splat decals, or are colored with in-game ink colors. Let this happen, Nintendo.
>>165418017
>>Octolings extinct
there is however a new species of octarian
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
THEY KILLED CALLIE
I AM LITERALLY SHAKING RIGHT NOW
BOYCOTT NINTENDO UNTIL THEY BRING HER BACK
I loved everything except the paid online, always liked that nintendo didn't jew us for that basic connectivity like Sony or Microsoft happily screw you for but now the switch has paid online?
That's not going to go down well in japland either.

>Captain Cuttlefish isn't dead he was just lost to the zone
>>165418139
To add to this, keep a look out on the Nintendo youtube channel, they might add new shit that we didnt see in the presentation!
MAYBE EVEN SMASH STUFF?
>>165418139
not related, but yeah Im glad he is back as well
Hope the OST is just as good, if not better.
Watched the reaction to this game being announced on Lythero's stream, what do I need to know going into Splatoon?
Post stupid fan theories that obviously aren't true.
Marie grieving at very least.
Bets are Cap'n dead, possibly also Octavio.
After Cap'n dead, they started talking to Octavio about him, telling stories. They became good friends, more Callie than marie.
Callie goes rouge to help the octos, both her and Octavio presumed dead.
I'm tempted to post a lewd inkling that's overly curvy.
>>165418349
I like fatasses, but that just doesn't look good tbqh
Hyped as fuck, but I'm a bit bummed out we'll lose the bottom screen map and lobby minigames.
>>165418330
Trailer music was pretty good.
>>165418349
Literally who? Remove e-celebs if that's what that is.
Does someone have the comic where they recruit the inkling by tricking her by saying she needs to be the hero because she's the cutest?
>>165418404
Callie's the final boss

it's legit according to nintendo's site (but kind of confusing still, honestly)
http://www.nintendo.com/switch/online-service/
here's hoping it will be cheap
>>165418608
If they get enough complaints do you think they might reconsider?
>>165418692
highly unlikely.
>>165418139
I can't believe my eyes.
>>165418692
i hope so but i doubt it. paid online might have been considered months prior and i doubt they'll change just because of some fans complaining
>>165418603
I can totally believe something like this

Disabling chat in an online game puts you at a disadvantage. You don't want to be at a disadvantage. But you won't learn moonspeak that fast either.

To think of it I want a transparent blue switch like pic related more than anything.
At very least two blue joycons, or a blue switch itself.
>>165419005
>>165419170
it says voice chat app, so i'm assuming it is going to be like wii u chat or something among those lines, though i am unsure

> Subscribers will get to download and play a Nintendo Entertainment System™ (NES) or Super Nintendo Entertainment System™ (Super NES) game (with newly-added online play) for free for a month.
I was hoping they would do a Netflix-like thing and give subscribers unlimited access to their virtual console library, at least.
>>165419235
Literally mini-Inkzooka, what not to love? I'm sure Dynadong still has a wide spray, or it'll be literally useless.
they better remove that god damn dynamo
so we are going to have one of these before summer right???
I think the thing on Marie's head might just be a new sushi hat.
>last splatfest was actually canon and Callie became evil out of sheer saltiness
LOOK WHAT YOU DID
>>165419367
We were vastly out numbered that weekend and won.
It was not our numbers that killed Calie Anon, no my dear Anon it was your lack of skill.
>>165419564
Yeah, that's kind of a shitty bonus considering what you get from Microsoft and Sony.

>>165419484
Look at the lobbies now. Count the number of japanese players and compare them with everyone else. Realise those xenophobic shut-ins won't ever speak engrish for the one filthy gaijin in the lobby, and you'll be stuck blind regardless of whether you chat or not.
>>165419680
those are big guns
>>165418139
Not really a fan, but I'm glad a staple's making a comeback.
Callie joins the Octolings
Marie stays true to the Inklings
Penultimate boss is Callie, final boss is Callie and Marie (reconciled) against some new unknown threat.

>>165420531
that's my new years resolution
Can't see a single squid sisters poster in any of the maps.
>>165419415
I honestly can't imagine it'd be anything else, as much as I'd love it to be >>165418989
I think they could push it to the point where it's hinted she's dead, but then near the end it's revealed she's just kidnapped or her and octavio eloped and are on a honeymoon together drinking tea or something.
Dude, no region-locking.
DUDE..... This is going to be the shit.

You fuckin dead, Callie. Marie was at your funeral. You made her cry, don't even try to emerge from the ground again and make her tears meaningless.

You're dead now, begone.

We'll see, it looks like the Switch is going to do much better than the Wii U judging by the reaction but it's obviously too early to tell.
>>165420113
God, I hope not. In Australia we more or less share the same timezone as Japan, so we're always guaranteed a fast lobby and they're close enough that there's hardly any lag. European players on the other hand are the worst, and that who we'll be lumped with if they locked regions.

Ping-based matchmaking? If you ping too slow with someone, you don't get matched together. That way squids from Straya, NZ and east of Russia will get to play with nipples, and actual euros will play with themselves.

That's an interesting way to do it. Stops perverts from chatting up kids online because you don't automatically connect to whoever's in your match, but makes it a bit easier for teams that do know each other.

Considering they battle 24/7 until one short night stand, they may actually be in Antarctic, and don't battle at polar night because it gets too cold. Also explains why we don't see the rings left by the moon that we nuked.

That just means she's serviced the most men.
>>165421763
I feel ya' man. It's more their music than anything. The regular inklings are so much more appealing
>>165421270
Why is there a second Judd? Wasn't the original Judd supposed to be frozen cryogenically during the apocalypse and thawed thousands of years later? Did the squids clone him? The little Judd does share the same fur pattern. Or, did original Judd have a kid? If so, was there another female Judd somewhere else who survived? The lore deepens...

Anyone who thinks Callie is dead or the squid sisters split up
Somehow I doubt it.
I give 99% odds that the two of them will be back together after you beat story mode. And the other 1% is something other than story mode doing it.
>>165422061
Let me help you
so... what ARE inklings?
If you put two in a blender where does one inkling end and the other one start?
>>165421967
just by the design of the weapons, it almost looks like the game takes place a bit in the future
>>165422047
That wasn't the right choice of words, i meant that inkopolis is virtually tokyo just by its design

>>165422149
I wonder how they would announce map rotations if they're split up initially.
My thoughts on Splatoon 2 summed up
>>165421205
Unless they're significantly faster than the single player in 1 and/or have some side paths or something I don't see eliter towers being any better.

Winter 2017?
>>165422853
I will find it hilarious if the whole point of the Callie vs Marie splatfest was for the devs to decide which Squid Sister would still be around in the next game.
I've been getting screenshots from here:
http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/splatoon-2-switch
Where you can find a bunch of screenshots and info.
But if you view the page source, there's thumbnails for about 20 more images that aren't here.
There's no full images either.
What the heck?
Pic related.

Rollers play so differently now from the Testfire days
I remember seeing posts that were INCREDULOUS that Chargers could ink more than 300p
also the prevailing theory was that Burst Bombs were useless for a long while

Always. And glad to see /ink/ alive and with new fresh squids.

I want to say getting rid of the laser would be retarded but then I remember they just hid it anyways and flicked. I guess I'll trust them on this and see how it plays out.

It seems that there are two new Inkstrike substitutes. The first one is the big square launcher thing that homes stuff in your opponents, and latter seems to be like the old Inkstrike but cast around you.

Anyways, I think the dodge roll looks neat, but in the trailer it looked like it barely used any ink to do it. We'll see how balancing goes because if it's unbalanced prepare to have INVINCIBLE Rolling Japs on every server
>>165424349
you gotta learn to predict where they'll land, it seems that they come to a full stop after rolling at least for a little bit

>>165424594
good luck squib
>>165424462
I've never played with Mexicans, at least that I know of. Yeah though, we'll see how this goes.
It was revealed in a webm I think in this thread or the previous that splat chargers can charge and hold it while immersing in ink, with the only visible downside being they let out a shining beacon around theirselves.
This game will probably have a shitton of updates (especially since its going to want to help nintendo justify paying for online now) so I'm pumped.
>>165423768
I want them so bad but I doubt we'll get them. Atleast I got my short tentacle woomies.

>tfw summer of /ink/ is coming back

Half my games were against teleporting rollers and they were either probably from some tiny town in the US or had Mexican names

The rollers do work differently now. Also seeing the weapons with recon just seems to be a permanent default gameplay thing now.
do you think the new game will have single player? what do you want in a new single player campaign?
>>165425185
More puzzle platformer elements. The singleplayer had the right idea but there could be so much more taken with it
>>165425159
>there are people playing Splatoon 2 right now
>>165425185
The shot of Octarians and Marie kinda suggests singleplayer. I just want them to crank the challenge up, the first one was basically a long tutorial. Dream would be a co-op campaign.
>>165425031
I ignored it for the most part and just enjoyed playing with you guys. Those were fun days playing squads and creating rooms full of /ink/ friends. Squidbagging and taunting each other while gitting gud. Take me back in time until Splatoon 2 is released.
>>165425159
apparently the vertical spray is done if you jump first
basically a giant nerf to the Dynamo, but it could be interesting especially for the Carbon
>>165425185
more challenging platforming would be dope
also an Octozilla final boss
>>165424908
I did quite a few American Splatfests and I never had the issues!
I wonder how that works. I mean, I am in the Northwest part of the U.S. does that change anything at all?

If the dodge roll grants invincibility frames and isn't just for maneuverability I'll be pretty mad.
I don't want Dark Souls/Bloodborne PVP in my Splatoon
>>165425614
the instant burst of speed at least lets you approach chargers properly now
Everyone noticed that they didn't show the Kraken, right?
The game might actually be about maneuverability instead of abusing invincibility
>>165425805
Yes, they didn't show any of the old abilities, so maybe they'll be taken out so that people can maybe customize their specials without making them overpowered by letting people have ridiculous specials/bomb combinations.
>>165425805
They said something about all new special weapons, so I don't think any of the originals are in.

gyro controls are shit but actual nintendo shills will tell you otherwise
the stick controls are deliberately even worse than other console shooters cus they wanted to push gyro controls
you have to use the wii u pad, no pro controller allowed
other than that think tf2 meets super mario sunshine and you pretty much have splatoon, if it was a pc game or somehow had kbm support it would be amazing
possibly little or none of the above will apply to spla2n, since it will allow pro controller use

It'll be a pubstomp weapon. Notice how the rolls all go the same distance and you stop dead when you fire.
>>165427871
What makes you say that?
>>165429036
you can choose not to use the roll and then it's basically a Sploosh
I imagine pros will basically use the rolls to dodge sniper shots while approaching
>>165429120

>>165429176
I'm almost certain "This Way!" is what Europeans have as their "C'mon!" in the original Splatoon, man.
>>165429492
It was "To Me!" in Splatoon
>>165429506
That makes more sense. Wish the U.S. got that instead of C'mon.

So considering the fact that you have to pay for online play, what do you think the state of offline play will be like?

>>165430332
but the problem would most likely be: is the single-player actually going to be GOOD?
>>165431243
Obviously. The single player in the first one was great.
All this one needs is weapon options that aren't behind a paywall.
>>165431243
Single player was pretty great. Helped me get used to the controls.
Final boss is GOAT
why didn't they call it Spla2n
>>165431334
>the single player in the first one was great
i guess you could say it was, but you can agree that it was FAR too short and easy. With way too much content cut out of it
>>165426030
>Screenshots
>13 pics
>All but two are prerendered
>>165431442
What do you mean "cut out of it"? It was added more-or-less as an afterthought according to interviews
>>165431403
Too easy to confuse with the original.
Also a certain reviewer calling it splay two enn out of spite.
Nintendo learned their lesson with that Wii addon, the wii u.
>>165431637
wasn't there a lot of content cut from the single player though?
>>165431243
I'd like to think so. I just want something longer/more challenging than the original Splatoon campaign. Even if it means taking the Mario 64 approach where you play the same level but collect different stars (each teapot has several missions each, etc)
>>165431773
Examples?
>>165431710
Could be fun, although I did like the original's brevity.
(Something that lasts me longer, though, might be nice.)
I was happy buying a wii U just for splatoon, a switch, maybe not. Not at fucking $400 AUD + game.
>>165431773
No idea, I'd love to hear.
Do Japs say nice or the obnoxious booyah?

>>165431851
>the pixel side-scroller looking minigame

honestly that's all i could find, maybe there are some costume pieces that didnt make it into the game
>>165432613
that's really not much, dude. I thought you were talking about whole levels or something.
I hope the side scroller is in Splatoon2 though
>>165432501
They say nice.
Pic unrelated.
>>165432501
"Naisu"
translates to "Nice"
>>165432681
where can I buy that
>>165432696
it's basically used in the same sense as "Booyah!" though, because of the novelty of it being an English word
>>165432835
Booyah sounds shit though. Nice sounds sophisticated.
>>165433114
"Naisu!" is a shonen protagonist thing in Japan
and this is a game about punk squids shooting each other for fun, why the fuck is something sounding sophisticated a good thing in your mind
the european translation was such a huge tonal clash with the game

You can aim manually on the super jump screen with gyro. I would assume this would also be the true with stick controls.

Booyah is rude as fuck. I hope Spla2n has the more considerate "nice" across all regions.

Social media probably isn't the best choice. We need to find a way to email them about it through their site, like here somewhere http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/contact and then make an inforgraph so others can quickly do it too.
>marie is shown for full second but callie isnt there

>inb4 the first actual trailer just pans further across and they're both standing there
>>165439780
Emailing Nintendo directly is worse than social media that some intern runs? I find that hard to believe. At least emailing them reasonable complaints gets it in their hands directly and it's also similar to how calling politicians means more than writing an email since it takes more effort and tweeting a sentence takes no effort. Social media will be drowned out by people flooding praise for the system.
>>165439709

In a perfect world both would make sense, but if we assume the few people not blinded by hype will only do one thing to voice their dissatisfaction with paid online, then it should be the one that means more to Nintendo (just like the Club Nintendo surveys meant more to them), and that is through contacting them directly.

i'm good since i 話します the 日本語 and all that, but most are on splatoonus.tumblr.com anyway
hi soh
>>165440578
ALL of them
also everything from the Japanese Squid Research Lab
>>165440682
well, a lot of them just go over information covered in the switch direct, so i'd rather not translate every single one.
>>165440776
Might as well translate the two tweets about hairstyles and pants. They seem to be the most interesting and aren't on the Splatoon US tumblr yet.
>>165440848
just click on translate this tweet, nothing you can't easily figure out based on that shoddy translation
>paid online
m-maybe there will be dedicated serversat least spla2n will launch before paid online kicks in
wait a second
it takes place in the future, and the squid sisters got older
>>165418910
>player icons at the top have the weapons on them
nice QoL improvement
>>165441217
>They got squid pregnant
Fuck
>>165441217
It takes place only two years after the first game.
>>165422562
tfw asked for my squid to be put in that multiple times while it was still being drawn
tfw ignored the entire time every thread

>"Besides the hairstyle, the variation seems to have increased also in the shape of the bottoms. Unlike gears such as Atma, Fuku and Kuku, the performance like gear power is not attached, it seems that you have chosen as you like. He is fashionable." - Google translation
Does this mean all clothes don't carry abilities or just pants? I expect the former
https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP
>Back in October of last year, we reported on the new findings related to the head. We thought they were new species of squid, but it looks like they only differ on the tentacle style growing from their head. It looks like they devised new hairstyles. Wait, they're arms, so maybe they should be arm styles...? Or, tentacle styles?... Umm, "hairstyle" is probably fine.
https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/819831233576189956
>In addition to new hairstyles, new variations in bottoms also seem to have sprung up. Unlike headgear, clothing, and shoes, they won't effect your abilities, so you can choose whatever you like. They sure are fancy.
top left special is "multi missile", top right is "super landing" (has something to do with super jumps), bottom left is "hyper presser", bottom right is... jetpack
top right sub is "curling bombs"
new pistol weapons are called "splat manuvers"
i have to go now but let me know if theres anything else you want when i get back, will probably translate descriptions for the new weapons
>>165441838
Sounds like pants are only a decoration and don't contain abilities. I suspect adding a fourth ability made balancing the game too cumbersome so they did without.
>tfw don't want a switch right now
>May have to get one sooner than expected just to experience splatoon 2 and mario kart deluxe before online dies due to the fee

>>165441973
>implying online will die
people are so fucking used to paying subscriptions at this point
maybe some of the 4chan playerbase will leave but that's it
>>165441973
this feel sucks. i hope some code nerd figures out how to get free online play.
What if Callie is not dead, but the Squid Sisters just separated?
I'm indeed hype for 2, but was it really necessary just for some new items and mapsand maybe story?
>>165436893
Is the switch even gonna have backward compatibility?
It's still a good console desu, I haven't finished hyrule warriors yet either
I really hope the dodge isn't limited to just one or two weapons, or that other weapons have different special moves.
>>165442324
it's got several new gameplay mechanics and they tossed out all the old specials
and of course it's a new story
>>165441961
>Unlike headgear, clothing, and shoes, they won't effect your abilities, so you can choose whatever you like. They sure are fancy
Noice. That's how you mix shit up.
>>165442382
Dodging's just for the dual guns but there'll probably be a hybrid class or two that has it as well
>>165442243
Sony and MS fans are not Nintendo fans. Especially if nintendo charge 40-60 bucks
Now that online isn't free I hope they make squid partying a permanent ban. Those shitters won't just be wasting people's time anymore.
>>165442614
I mean in general
a lot of people pay for Netflix and Amazon, it's become normal to need a subscription
>>165442883
I thought everyone used kodi? People actually pay to watch the electric Jew box?

The difference between PS+/Xbox Live and a nintendo paid service is that nintendo has exactly ONE fucking game where online play matters.
Hey guys, 300 dollars for your switch, 60 dollars for splatoon 2, 60 dollars a year for the privilege to play it. Then they abandon it after 2 years and force you to buy another update disguised as splatoon 3.
>>165443609
>one
four actually, plus multiplats and third party titles
compared to what, overwatch, call of duty, halo, and battefield on the PS4 and Xbox?
>>165443609
>MK8 Deluxe and Splatoon
I'm sorry but that's two.
>>165443323
Even normies know what kodi is and how to get free shit with it. For shame Anon.
>>165443609
>The games that were announced six months before the console's launch are the only games it will ever have
Splat2n and MK8 by Summer,Pokémonlater, who knows what else after that.
The service is free for the first half a year anyway. Are you this poor?
>>165444076
>how to install Kodi on Raspberry Pi
I'm sorry but no, this is a program that normal people don't know about
>>165444272
The only online game I care about on Wii U is splatoon. If the Wii U had paid online, I probably would never have even bothered trying it.
Not only is it a kick in the dick that they cut short support for the Wii U and Splatoon to prop up the switch, but paid online will mean a lower playercount for the game as time goes on.
>>165444656
>cut short support
dude they kept adding stuff to Splatoon for several months after the timed content dried up, for free
it wasn't cut short
>>165422562
hi
>>165422562
i really really dont want to pay for online
Nintendo Treehouse stream is about to start in 15 minutes. They're going to go into further detail about some Switch games, and Splatoon 2 might be one of them.
>>165445474
>>165422562
I hope at least the price is reasonable.
>>165445753

Guess I should've scheduled to have Fridays off.

WHERE
ARE
MY
PIGTAILS
I
WANT
PIGTAILS IM SO MAD I WANT PIGTAILS IM BOYCOTTING
Hey it's starting.
>>165446561
the original hairstyles are still in afaik
>>165446594
Where to watch?

Oh I thought you meant the pigtails that wereALREADY IN THE GAME YOU FUCKING FAGGOT
They've got a segment just for Splatoon 2.
Hype.
Here's something I whipped up.
Honestly digging the short tentacle look.Summer can't come sooner.
>>165446808
THEY'RE NOT THE SAME
THEY RELEASED A HAIRSTYLE THAT LOOKS LIKE TOPIARY AND IS JUST 3 BALLS ON A HEAD BUT NO PIGTAILS NINTENDO YOU CANT DO ME LIKE THIS!?!??!?!?!?
>>165446868
I'm going to pleasure myself to your drawing. I want you to know that.

>>165447052
I KNOW THAT I KNOW THAT BUT I WANT UP PIGTAILS LIKE A MAGICAL GIRL
I wanted that rain special for game one.
The fact that they added into the sequel made me wet.
>>165446753
Thanks bb <3
So what will the new Squid Sisters look like?
>>165447391
If they replace the Squid Sisters, then I'm boycotting the game and the Switch.
>>165422562
We have waited for this day to come.
>>165447145
You'll just have to pretend that one of them is their pre-transform undercover pigtails.
>>165447905
that's a good plan it will have to do.
>>165447903
welp
>>165447061
That's more like a manbun
I should really go back and reach level 50 before the first game completely dies off.
Another cute squid~
>>165449520
thought this artist was going to make a boy template for us?
>there are people playing spla2n right now
>you are not one of them

>>165449520
It took me this long to realize squids all have the exact same length of hair
>>165449571
Here you are!
>>165450031
I'm going to do some with different hair lengths in a second, I've just been in the mood for the cute short pigtail look!
>>165450387
No I mean all squids have the same size tentacles and short hair is achieved by wrapping and folding them in clever ways
>>165418608
and it comes with a worse version of games with gold
This stream is a mess.
>>165450472
Well from what we can see from Callie and Marie I don't think that's true, personally. At least within different squid species.
>>165450647
The Twitch stream is somewhat better, just go to /nintendo
>The controller is so sturdy! Enough to handle Splatoon salt.
These are going to be destroyed in their thousands.
>>165450863
I have to leave right now anyways. Too bad they wasted what time I had showing off Arms.
>>165451078
Switch has a capacitive multi-touch screen, which needs to be glass to order to work. You would not want to throw this thing.
>>165451078
I'll play with a pro controller
>all the incoming squid porn
>>165451078
but does it have motion controls?
So with the dash roll on the Dualies, what other maneuvers do you think we'll get with other weapons.
Maybe a sliding charge for Chargers and Splatlings, where you can kind of surf across ink for a few feet (or more down a slope) if you start charging with some momentum.
>>165451360
Yes
>>165451340
>tfw spats was my fetish before splatoon existed
>>165451495
I think the roll isn't unique to the dualies but who knows.
It's up next!
Splatoon 2 is next. Thank God. It's 3am and I want to go to sleep.
SPLAT2N IS NEXT!
HYPE!

>>165452054
Does Australia even get Nintendo stuff?
ink rains from above
The old spawn point looks much nicer than the new one in my opinion.
>>165452105
is it right now? I totally forgot about the Treehouse thing.
>dual reticles switch to a single more accurate one for a bit after dodge rolling
>All new specials
>No Killer Wail, no Inkstrike
rip in peace...
>>165452339
They're playing a little match before getting to the actual thing.
>>165452353
dual reticles? What?
supply screenshots pls
>>165452372
It's pretty obvious this is just the new demo build, where only a small selection of weapons are available.
>>165452372
>No Burst bomb rush
It isn't fair.
Watching the Treehouse stream. Can you no longer tell which team is in the lead by watching the squid icons at the top like you could before?
>>165452424
Didn't get one, but the dual wield gun has two reticles that are aimed slightly apart normally.
>rape
Music seems inferior, also new singers for the one minute left?
>you can charge a charger, go into squid form, relocate, and still have full charge
>>165452372
>no Bubbler, no Kraken
it's the perfect game, finally
>>165452449
they said all new specials in the presentation too, although they made bomb rush into an inkzooka-like weapon
>>165452487
oh shit, i think you're right
Worst. Charger. Ever.
WTF is he doing?
>no gamepad map
>no minimap
What the fuck? Reading the map right was one of the biggest and most central things about the game.
>this way
>no c'mon
it's over
>>165452543
is there a time limit or a speed decrease
is the E-Liter still in the game
>>165452613
you bring it up with X which is almost the same thing as looking down at the gamepad
>Stingray shoots through walls
Thank fuck. Finally fuck those faggot charger and carbons hiding around corners.
CALLIE CONFIRMED INGAME
>>165452613
this isn't a competitive game, minimaps aren't necessary
I don't think I like the new Victory music...
The Reef map has an inkable bridge over inkable ground, which hasn't shown up before.
>>165452683
It's like a thin killer wail that you can slowly turn.
>>165452669
someone on r/splatoon pointed out that there was also a c'mon command in the "this way" slot at some point
maybe it's an option
>>165452718
wow, you're wrong
>callie confirmed
>you're not playing and completing destroying those casuals
>vertical fling if you jump
Dynamos BTFO
Oh shit that Super Jump + Splash Down is pretty clutch.
the new specials are just overwatch ults
>>165452830
Where? How
?
What about miiverse integration? Is it still a thing? It was one of the best things about Splatoon.

Guy presenting said something along the lines of
>I worked on localising Splatoon and I really liked the characters, like Callie and Marie
>and I'm really excited about meeting some old characters in Splatoon 2's story
Which kinda implies it, but it's not "confirmed".
Squid boy using my template
Where cas Callie confirmed? I've been so worried about her..
TEN TON MISSILES
SENDS OUT FOUR HOMING MISSILES
NAME IS MISLEADING SO THE TREEHOUSE DUDE ACTUALLY WANTS TO CHANGE IT
ITS HIGH NOON
>I SEE YOU /R/SPLATOON
alrighty then, guess why know why cmon is gone
positives so far:
>super jump to people/spawn is now the d-pad instead of the touch screen
>bonuses not tied to clothingmaybe, this stream is making me more nervous
>some of the specials are cool
negatives
>little to no actual functionality changes
>still no wall game
>still focusing on turf wars
>music seems lackluster
kinda disappointed. figured after reusing assets, theyd have more on the plate for the game. could very well have been an update to the original game, just make mario kart 8 deluxe.
>>165453173
>press X to inspect map
I just hope the nzap/ds will be coming back, or at least something with a similar stats ;_;
>Missle someone from across the map
>"Booyah!" when the killcam gets to you
Oh baby
>>165453370
I'm sure the music will be fine. We've only heard a small selection so far.
>>165453279
>unleashing homing missiles on charger cucks
I like this new specials.
>>165442243
Yeah can't wait until nobody wants to talk about Splatoon anymore because half of the 4chan userbase won't shell out $59.99 a month for a Nintendo Gold Account
STOP BULLYING CHARGERFRIENDS
>>165453370
>alrighty then, guess why know why cmon is gone
it's changed because it will translate to "To Me!" in european and japanese copies of the game which causes miscommunication when americans try to use it in a motivational way. It was just very badly localized in the US to begin with.
>>165452116
Because I wanted to see more Splatoon 2, and I don't have work tomorrow because it's the weekend.
>>165452318
We do, but Nintendo Australia basically consists of a man at a desk with a rotary phone that's connected to Nintendo Europe.

i just remembered that you guys are an hour ahead down south. i was really confused for a moment there.
>>165453370
If they're planning to do the same gradual roll out of content they'd have to be holding a lot back. Remember when sloshers were a surprise?
I'm not expecting anything unbelievable, but this is like "make a demo build that proves every part has at least one new thing so we can say it's really a new game".
>>165453397
better than having to refocus your eyes everytimr you check the map
>>165453610
that's her fish
>>165453569
my problem is the fact that it was a staple, and theyre changing it for what seems like no real reason.
nobody ever really used either of the voice commands as intended, mainly because no one listens to them. doesnt matter if it says cmon, to me, or suck my cock, nobody is going to actually do anything when you use it.
its why theyre doing voice chat.
>>165453702
I was just reaching for an X joke, I'm don't really mind the change. Though I worry it'll mean even fewer people ever bother to notice the map.
>>165453884
you need to bring it up to super jump and it's easier to check this way imo
>>165453812
I go out my way to listen to my ally calls, especially during RM
>ground pound super jump on the tower
That special alone is going to make people think twice about spawn camping.
My biggest fear is that the Squid Sisters will be replaced with new idols.
>>165454228
There's no way. They had people showing up to actual concerts with them. Why risk alienating fans of that instead of milking it more?
>>165454228
Callie and Marie split up momentarily so Callie could pursue her rap album and Marie could do opera
>voice chat with kids, nipponese and obnoxious yanks
No thanks!
Hi Katsuie! :^)
>>165454509
You need to have a phone to use voice chat, ya dingus
Is it worth watching any more of Treehouse for Splatoon stuff?

>Implying Marie isn't the rapper, with how she looked in the trailer.
>>165454581
Everybody and their mom owns a cellphone nowadays
>>165453812
no one used the voice commands as intended because of the possibility of your ally being an american spamming "c'mon" and not actually wanting you to come to them

>>165454509
this is why europeans can only play mobas
the new inksplosion thing is gonna be the new cancer. im calling it
>>165454581
Yes, and that means they can't say you valuable info if you don't use your phone. They can't either way, 99% of Splatoon players are nips. Chat should really be restricted to squads.
>>165453516
but chargers can charge while swimming now and it seems like everyone gets fucked by the missiles
chargers literally got a buff lmaoI'd say I hope squelchers are still solid, but I probably won't even play spla2n because of >paid online
>>165453695
see, i had the same opinion when the original splatoon came out. i sung its praises despite being a bit shallow in terms of varying gameplay and weapons, but i only really did that because it was a new release and they were testing things out.
this is now the second game in the series. gameplay is locked in, more or less. lets see some variation, now that everything is set in place and people like what they were given. this game looks like its just glorified 3.0 for full price.
>>165453010
pretty sure it's just pants that aren't tied to abilities but we'll see.
that being said the fact all the players had different gear but all had the starter abilities may be more than just it being an early build
>>165455318
>being a poorfag

>>165455645
If paying $40 a year for paid online makes you poor you were already poor.
>>165455645
dude it'll only cost money in September, and even then there might be too much backlash for them to restrict online play
>My spirit animal is alike an Inkling girl
W-what.
>>165455429
Yeah, I don't really expect it to be hugely different. It wouldn't surprise me if they were planning on making a 3.0, and then got asked to change it enough to be a Switch title.
But at the same time, they've had two years to work on a single player campaign with the added experience of a large audience showing what they're capable of. A fully fleshed out single player game with Splatoon's mechanics is worth full price to me. If it comes with what's effectively an enhanced MP, I don't really mind.
That woomy dance is so damn cute. I might actually buy MK8 now.
>>165455816
I also wish to be a squid
>>165455975
Urchin Underpass looks great
I had a lot of fun with MK8 so getting to play the DLC will be cool too.
does anyone else think that the woomies look weird in mk8
>>165421404
wow, rude
>>165456264
What's with all the black image posting lately?
>>165456162
I thought that at first too, but after looking at them a bit more they seem fine.
>>165456162
It's the lighting.
>>165456162
They look good to me, the style clashes a little bit but that's fine. Animal Crossing characters look a little weird too, I'd say Link stands out the most
>>165455975
>tfw brought MK8 plus the DLC
>mfw seeing MK8 Deluxe
I feel like a true cuck. What next, Smash Deluxe you fucking pricks.
>>165456410
>Smash Deluxe has Inklings as proper characters and Spring Man
>>165421737
I didn't. I'm from the good timeline.
>>165456410
yeah, I feel the same. On one hand, I want new Mario Kart. On the other, I'm sure as hell not gonna pay $60 for a rerelease. fucking hell.
>>165456493
Guess you could wait until someone sells their copy on craigslist for cheap or something? That's what I'll probably do, BotW and Splatoon will keep me occupied for a good amount of time.
I hope I can still 'switch' back to the long hair for inklings.
>>165456410
>MK8 owners can't just update it like ACNL did with Welcome Amiibo
NINTENDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>165456602
yeah, you're right. It's not too big of a deal since Splatoon is the main course for me anyway.
>we didn't know it at the time, but 2016 even killed Callie

>>165457208
Stingray is new Inkzooka. Zooker requires dedication, Wail is fire and forget, keeps momentum up. If anything, Stingray is a downgrade from both.
>>165428067
I'm liking the emissive lighting in this.
i can't believe callie diedi actually can,she died from diabetesshe should have listened to marie
I hope my gunfu returns. It wouldn't be the same without her.
>>165432681
Looks like he's takin' bribes.
fugg
i just pre ordered a switch after seeing pre-orders are back up on amazon
>>165457565
Me too. I just imagined baiting one of those dualies into rolling at me and blasting them away as they stand still and my lower L3 became an H3.
>>165457175
Oh, I'm gonna miss echolocator.
>>165457848
are they up in Splatoon colors because if not it isn't worth it
>>165457848
I don't see the point if Splatoon doesn't come out until summer
>>165424165
dunno if inkstrikes are gone, they revealed new splatoon stuff for mario kart and one of the karts is an inkstrike bike.
>>165458093
that also features the protags from Splatoon Wii U
Hopefully they allow weapon set customization now. I get that the didn't do it last game for balancing reasons, but with new specials and subweapons they could have balanced things.
>>165455771
>$40
when was the price confirmed? and paying any subscription fee for games you already paid for is unacceptable. do NOT support companies that do this.
>>165455791
nice, it'll be almost like I rented the game!
>>165458093
they said something along the lines of "every special is brand new". it's not coming back, hombre
The map they showed in the treehouse presentation looks like it's from chinese bootleg Splatoon and not from, well, Splatoon. Flat as fuck, simple layout, absolutely no distinguishing features other than the trench that Urchin does a lot better.
>>165458257
I'm okay with a subscription for Splatoon 2 if they keep updating it for years and don't drop after a year like they did with Splatoon
Local woomy doesn't quite grasp the rules of non-turf war combat, kills celebrity by plowing go-kart directly into his chest.
>>165458360
>if they keep updating it for years and don't drop after a year like they did with Splatoon
willing to bet they will, and that the netcode will still be trash, and you'll still get matched with mostly nips
in fact if anything you'll probably get matched with only nips even more once that sub fee hits, reminder that the sub fee will only be in NA to begin with as well
>>165458457
i never realized that the squid had a mouth
>>165458472
>, reminder that the sub fee will only be in NA to begin with as well
absolutely brilliant
>>165458705
time to buy a Japanese Switch if this is true
>>165458457
At first I didn't realise this was from the battle mode or w/e and was like lmao she's driving the wrong way.
>>165458753
"no region lock", though. I'm so confused...
>>165434520
>pants
finallydoes that means male inklings can wear skirts too?
>>165458583
It normally doesn't.
I am so glad I was part of some of the BEST Western teams in the scene, cannot wait to play this video game competitively once again.
Disruptors better be back. I need them on my Dualies
>>165434520
can male inklings wear skirts?
can male inklings have girl hair styles?
I NEED TO KNOW

Do you think the release date of the art book has anything to do with the release date of Spla2n
>>165453082
In the video you can see callie from behindwearing a kimono
>>165417775
anyone else excited for what the single player could be? The last single player was a lot of fun, it was just too short, I'm hoping it's a lot longer.
I don't like the new woomy voice. I know Splat1's woomies were voiced by a guy, but that gave them that proper tomboy sound. The one in Spla2n demo just sound like... Girls. And yeebies' voices are unchanged, so it's not like they had to re-record everything.
>>165459630
I can't wait to see what they do with it. If it's 5-6 hours again I'll be content, but hopefully it'll be more fleshed out.
Hopefully local mutliplayer-only modes will be better than the battle dojo shit too.

>>165459795
I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks this. I don't hate the new voices they just feel off.
>>165459630
Absolutely hyped.
>>165459795
Which videos include the new woomy voices? The new winning theme sounds kinda mediocre compared to the original if I'm remembering right.
>>165459630
yep
i hope there are new enemies other than octolings as well
>>165459795
wait a minute, do they no longer say woomy?
These guys playing Splatoon are pretty ass but it's cool seeing the new content.
>>165458213
>weapon set customization
Maybe, I'd still be surprised though.
What's the most broken loadout you can come up with given what we've seen (and assuming we'll get a similar range to the original base weapons).
Off the top of my head, we've seen the subs:
>Burst
>Splat
>Suction
>Curling (new seaker)
and the specials:
>Ink cloud
>Seeking missiles
>Stingray
>Jetpack
>Ground pound
>>165452898
RYUU GA WAGA TEKI WO KURAU, RYUJIN NO KEN WO KURAE and NERF THIS
FUCKING WHEN?
we got JUSTICE and HIGH NOON
>>165460526
The boys say Goo-me now
>>165459376
>>165460835
>goo-me
sounds lewd
>>165460650
Dualies with either Burst or Curling (curling seems like it turns better but I'm not sure.) and the Ink Cloud special. Superior mobility coupled with a strong area control kit should be hard to deal with.
>>165461146
Fucking Roger
>>165422562
we back baby
It seems they realised that all the Spla1 specials are too game-defining, and decided to make all of them fucking useless.
>stingray: shitty killer wail
>inkjet: shitty Inkzooka, as damaging but very obvious sniper bait
>smackdown or whatever- YOU LITERALLY CAN DO THAT WITH THE ROLLER ALREADY
>the fourth one is so shitty I don't even remember its name, but it's baisically a shitty inkstrike
>bomb rush seems to be stationary from the trailer, which makes it borderline useless
>all new stuff, so no bubbler, echolocator or kraken, the three most powerful specials
>>165461529
>no echolocator
it appears that there are more recon stuff so they might be trying to push for players to use that instead
>no kraken or bubbler
good, tired of invincible panic button moves, it will probably make they game a lot more fun to play.
>>165461529
>smackdown is roller
Remember that flicking in the air does it in a thin vertical line. As opposed to a large circular area like the special which can also be used when you aren't superjumping.
>>165461146
the sounds they make are already pretty lewd
Which is worse?
>Captain Cuttlefish died between games, causing the Squid sisters to split up over grief
>The squid sisters becoming "old news"
>>165420684
That's the Squidbeak Splatoon emblem on the wall in the background, isn't it?
The one on the far left looks familiar too, but I can't place it.
>>165462194
the first one, being old news is sad, having their gandfather die and them splitting up is really sad
>>165422562
I wish I was there.
what happens to squids if they're splatted outside a turf war?
Please Nintendo, don't get rid of the Squid Sisters :'(
>>165462971
they get to hang out with callie
>>165462971
They die
Fuck off Rainy you're not wanted here
>>165422562
slacker squid reporting in
its so good to be back, baby
>>165462007
I've been divebombing people using other weapons as well. Like H3. It often doesn't work out in lower ranks because several people at once will camp you, but in high ranks there will be either a bomb or exactly one squid patrolling the marker and everyone else doing more important things, the latter are really easy to divebomb once you get hang of it, the former are unavoidable even with smackdown. It's just an easier way to do what we already could, but you lose your SPECIAL instead of one splat worth of ink.
>>165464464
I agree the special is pretty underwhelming but I feel like it'll have its uses.
>>165422562
I miss vector friend
>>165464805
