The cost of winning the last splatfest...it was too high.

How hard will it be to find a Switch during the summer? This is pretty much the system seller for me but I don't really need a Switch until then.

>>165472752
I really can't say. I want to say that it'll be easy as fuck to find like every other console that's been released in the past ten years, but after Nintendo's NES Classic debacle I just don't know anymore.

Personally, I'm waiting until we at least have a launch date for Splatoon until I buy a Switch. Hopefully they have a bundle or a special edition by then. I can just play Backstroke of the West on my Wii U if I really want to.

>>165473037
I firmly believe there is no way they aren't doing a Spla2n bundle.
At the very least it'll be a standard Switch with the game at a slightly lower price.

>>165466469

It's most people's, why would you pay for a new console, on top of paid online, on top of buying what's basically the same game with a smaller playerbase, when you can play the game as it is on Wii U?
>>165475534
Doesn't mean it's okay. I also think both of those consoles have actual shit to do online. Besides Splatoon what even is there on Switch to play online?

>>165477010
See>>165475368

All in all, just get a cheap Wii U and play Splatoon on it. I don't know why they're calling it a sequel when it's looking to be literally just Splatoon but with gimmick additions.

Splatoon 2 confirmed for having dedicated servers for online multiplayer instead of P2P. This means no more teleporting nips. Jesus christ you people are retarded. Now I remember why I left. not that r/splatoon is any smarter.

>>165477878
Probably the audience they're aiming for, Splatoon 2 is the "cool edgy" version in contrast to Splatoon being a great game for everyone that attracted a ton of love. It would only be fitting if only edgelords play Splatoon 2.

Honestly Nintendo will probably kill the first game off once 2 launches

I'll really miss the gamepad to be honest. Star Fox Zero may have been retarded, but the gamepad got/gets a lot of unnecessary hate.
I always quite liked it. What's with the hate? In my eyes the Switch lacking one is a weakness.

It's the same game, and I don't mean that jokingly, it's L I T E R A L L Y the game ported over but with some things changed. You're buying an entirely new console, paying for online, and buying a new game for what's essentially what used to be a free update in Splatoon. This is a DLC pack with a value of maybe ten dollars priced at 400 + monthly fee. You have to be absolutely braindead to buy it.

>>165479045
the core mechanics are the same, but the added things mix it up so much it is already a completely different game just with the changes they announced. Like MK8 is baisically the same as MK1-7, but the way its items work and just the added horn and coin items make for a completely different experience.

>>165479045
what the fuck did you expect them to do, if they changed the gameplay compeltely no one would have wanted it

>>165479268
300 for the console, 60 for the game and around another 60 for a controller that isn't awful.

Even without the controller that's still 360+ for a game you should already own on the Wii U.
>>165479164
What else is there to hear about? New Maps? New weapons? Single Player content (kek)? They're not going to revolutionize the game, it's the exact same thing, same graphics, same engine, everything, with additional fluff. Don't be stupid.

>>165479839
No, MK8 is a completely different game from MK7, it has an entirely new engine, new mechanics that are central to the gameplay (anti-gravity) and entirely new maps with completely remade old maps in their new engine. It was a complete redesign from the ground up, not MK Wii ported over with the exact same engine and some updates.
>>165479908
You can change the gameplay without ruining the experience, what I'm saying is this is literally just Splatoon, with DLC content, ported to the Switch to force you to have buy a new console to play the additonal content and so they can charge you for playing online. It's not a "new game" as they'd have you believe, it's literally just Splatoon + DLC.

This is essentially an expansion pack on top of the original game that is now forced to be called a "sequel" only because they want to force you buy their new console to experience it. This is something companies did ages ago because the internet wasn't really a thing and you couldn't just roll out updates or new content and charge a few bucks for it like they can now.

This is ungodly scummy and the fact you guys are honestly considering slurping it up makes me sick. Come on...

You shouldn't be comfy, you should be upset a game we all love is being treated as a hostage to force us to buy an entirely new console for what's essentially DLC and start paying an online fee to play said new content.

It's a new hub world, I don't think that's anything mesmerizing.
>new weapons/mechanics
New weapons, the things we got for free via updates to Splatoon because this isn't the 90s where any new content = new game or expansion pack. The dodge mechanic is cool but that's not sequel worthy either.
>new characters
That's nice, I'm sure there's a new story, that doesn't equal sequel either though considering Splatoons main selling point was never Single Player to begin with. You can add on to Splatoon's Story fairly easily.
>graphical improvements
What? Where? It looks almost exactly the same as Wii U and I'm not saying that as some /v/ tard, I mean it literally looks exactly the same which is what started the debate on if it's just an enhanced port or not when we saw that initial little reveal during the first Switch trailer. What are you talking about?
>hero mode continued
See above about the Story, that's not a huge deal and with the way singleplayer is structured, DLC for the Splatoon could have easily been added to add new worlds and continue the story if they wanted.
>all this revealed in one trailer and a few matches
And all this all around sums up to something you'd see in a 10 or 15 dollar expansion pack, this isn't a "new game", this is some additional stuff on top of the old.

guys
im so happy and excited for splatoon 2

>>165486286
I'm not mad about videogames per say, I'm mad Nintendo is essentially trying to entice people to buy a video game we all basically already own and put it behind a 300 dollar piece of hardware and label it as a sequel because it has an expansion packs worth of content so they can have a reason to charge for their online services and get people to buy it.

Seriously, think about it, they're using Splatoon as a barganing chip to get people to "upgrade" to the switch and start paying for their online services.

Nothing they showed in that reveal trailer last night was anything that couldn't be release to Splatoon on Wii U as DLC or just general rebalancing. We already got weapons, they could add new Single Player story content and gear and hairstyles and whatnot, but they aren't because they want to force you onto the Switch if you want more Splatoon content and so they can charge you for online. And you're just gonna go along with it?

Will there be another crossover like ika musume?
not like the spongebob or transformers crossovers, but something like an outfit

>>165487246
Yes, they could have released this content as DLC, but ultimately they're constrained by the parent company's need for profits.

I would love it if they had some sort of angel investor, and decided to release a full on sequel for free. On the other extreme of the scale, I'm glad they're not bleeding us like Tecmo does with hundreds of $5 DLC reskins.

Splatoon2 being on the Switch definitely skews towards that side of things, but realistically that's what a first party software studio is made for - providing incentives to buy the hardware.

In an ideal world they wouldn't have any pressures beyond making a great game, but the compromises they have to make I blame largely on the external economy they exist in, and not on their own merit.

(and not that it matters, but it's "per se" as in "by itself")

>>165488006
Yeah, so speak up. Don't be a pushover and say "Man paid online sucks but I'll still buy it anyway :^)" because that's all they want, they want you to buy it and not speaking up about just means they can rest assure it won't hurt their business.

I mean really, the whole reason Splatoon was a big showoff last night is because it's their only real Multiplayer focused game and they want to use that as a justification for their paid online. That's why Splatoon users being upset is important in the grand scheme of things, acting like you're just gonna hop on over regardless is stupid.

I'm sorry for making the thread "uncomfy" but this shit is important.

>>165468228
I'm lazy, give me a good copy pasta to send them because my e-mail would read like gibberish.

>>165488497
>he thinks the most out of touch video game company there is will listen

also they're doing all of this because they're completely abandoning the Wii U, it caused them to go bankrupt they don't want anything to do with it.

Paid online sucks but they probably aren't gonna stop because it's become the industry standard at this point. Not to mention new president is a buisnessman and isn't iwata so he cares way more about the money then anything else.

It's going to be dead the fucking moment the free trial ends, you really think anyone's gonna want to get into a game if it basically requires you to pay a subscription to play the multiplayer, the main point?

>>165490936
If the switch manages to sell well with more games that need online then it's possible people with have it. Also what do you think many different games with PSN and xbox live have been doing for years? sure you have to pay for online but that didn't hurt people from buying it and many games with the sole purpose to play them online.

The Switch isn't a Playstation or an Xbox and doesn't have the same kind of 3rd party multiplayer library as those do, and I am willing to bet at least 95% of the people who use those systems and pay for that systems online wouldn't do the same for the Switch.
>>165491230
Aside from MK8, Splatoon, and the potential Smash re-release, I don't think most people will care, which is going to cut into the already potentially low sales. Splatoon 2 isn't going to have a very good life as far as playerbase goes, definitely not as good as it was on the Wii U just by these facts alone.

Arms looks fun but I found out it's $60 and not something bundled with the console and I doubt it's gonna do that well with that price tag, then again people said the same about splatoon so I dunno

>>165492414
>there was a huge list going around when switch was announced
Wii U had "tons of 3rd party support" too, it didn't turn out that well. Most of those devs are most likely developing small titles or ports to test the water, you're not gonna see some big AAA hot title be exclusive to the switch or something, it'll be the Skyrim treatment. And if the console or their port doesn't sell well? They're gone.

They should have waited but they couldn't because they fucked themselves over with Zelda. The games done, people are getting fucking pissed because it was originally supposed to be Wii U but they decided to abandon it at the same time and they couldn't just cancel it for Wii U without a fuckload of backlash.

They've fucked themselves over and now they're gonna have to live with the toss up if switch actually sells in the entire first year. And come on, let's be honest, it won't. It'll still be the underdog and laughing stock of the industry.

It's ruined by Nintendo m8, the paid subscription is going to put off people from continuing to play or buy the game in the first place and being on the Switch means it might actually sell LESS then on the Wii U.

I don't wanna sound like a /v/tard, but I'm not too keen on the changes they've made to the formula.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still gonna buy the game day one, but the original Splatoon felt more like a moddable engine than an actual full-blown game, likely due to the heavy multiplayer focus and regular DLC packages.

The fact that they removed and/or changed nearly all the subs and specials that formed the cornerstones of the previous metagame is rubbing me the wrong way, though I'm sure that feeling will pass by the inevitable weapons direct coming later this year. Still, it's a whole new metagame we're gonna get into.

It looks fun, but I really hope they add new characters and drop the price from $60. I was pretty excited when I thought it came with the console like 1 2 switch but it doesn't even come out on release day

>>165494694
tbf how often do you see more than one other player who isn't japanese in a lobby in the original splatoon

and how often do you see any jap that isn't either lagswitching or legitimately lagging

This never fails to crack me up, especially the fact that he's still salty about getting caught.

>>165496158
Now amplify that feeling by about 3 and you'll have the community Splatoon 2 will have as soon as the free trial ends.

>>165496140
Just play the regular game, Splatoon 2 is going to be dead literally two months after it's release and I wish I was joking.

Nope, it does.

>>165496476
but anon, it says right there that it doesn't come out switch release day

>>165466285
since when do handheld consoles have ethernet ports?

When the fuck did you guys revive?

Splatoon on PC when

>>165496140
Honestly just wait until more information is released. Treehouse was wrong about stuff before. Remember the multiple people on the tower doesn't make it move faster bit?

>>165496681
CEMU is coming along very nicely, recently got 4k support!

Soon we'll be able to play without the fucking gyro anon, soon...

>>165496719
this, we don't even know the full extent of the changes or if anything really was removed or not. The only clear cut downside right now is having to pay for online.

>>165496905
>Literally said and showed everything has been fucking changed
>"W-We still don't know..."

Holy shit how much denial can you have they just showed it today

>>165497040
the guy said at the end of the presentation that there will be more announcements and things to come anon. Not only that but I mean whether or not they got rid of or kept sertian moves or weapons.

>>165497040
>literally
>everything
No need to exaggerate literally everything.

If the vertical is a one shot kill, is it just a better charger?

>>165468228
>thinking that'll do anything
they know you'll buy it anyway
also its REALLY NOT THAT MUCH MONEY

>>165497658
no, it lacks the range

>>165497658
I'd assume not all of its hitbox one-shots.

>>165497456
Practically no wait time but I hope you like playing with Japs

>>165497582
I want to splat this woomer

>>165497658
It's essentially a charger minus the range. It's good for getting to the center of the stage faster, but horrible at spreading ink. It's quite ironic, actually.

>>165497658
No, because it lacks range.

Also, is that Splat Roller? If so, did they shortened the time it needs before swinging the roller? Looks like it acts quite like Carbon Roller.

>>165477458
What did she get kicked out for?
For some stupid reason that entire idea made me think of Opie and Anthony so I need that internal image of Marie Cumia erased from my head now.

Did she cheat in the last splatfest?

>>165498740
more range, less charge time, less spread. this only happens while jumping though, so I dunno how this will effect rollers, other then you not being able to just jump and splat a large area

>>165498740
Looks normal to me.

It's been over a year since I've paid attention to this game and the general.

How many copies did Splatoon sell?

>>165495923
What makes it shovelware?

>>165499441
2

>>165497697
No I won't buy it.
Amount is not an argument. There is no reason to pay for online.

>>165498740
I wouldn't read too much into any of the showcased weapons beyond the dualies. They look like the generic splat charger / roller / shooter with swapped palettes.

>>165499441
Google tells me
"Wii U, Splatoon sold 4.27 million copies since its launch in May 2015."

>>165499594
until they show more, also we still don't know if all chargers can keep their charge while hiding in ink or if it's just a special charger that can do that. Or even if all rollers have been changed or it's just this one in particular

Is this legit? Can people get up to $195 towards a Switch trading in a 32GB WiiU?

>>165499564
Then why do PS4 and xbone get away with it?

Also the treehouse stream made it seems like the vertical flick and charge storage isn't unique

>>165500000
Nice get. The Japanese charger tweet says that the charge can only be held for a short while in squid form so at least it's not going to be instant death all the time vs a charger.

>>165500119
Probably, Gamestop usually has good trade in deals for new consoles. I remember getting more than I would have selling stuff when trading in towards the PS4.

>>165500000
I get your point. Hopefully every weapon type will have a unique move.

>>165500137
Who said they are right for getting away with it? Everyone who gives into it are drones no matter the platform.

What if Marie becomes a mother, would you still hit it?

>>165501864
Not unless she was the mother to my child.

>>165501864
i would become a father with callie

>>165501864
She would become a mother because of me and because Callie wanted a sister wife.
