I tried it. It was what I expected, a really good take on online shooters. I don't like online shooters, so it wasn't for me, but a great game of course. They should have some idea on how to compensate for lack of voice chat though.

I do like owning the game physically, but I find myself neglecting games that I have physically because I have to get up to change discs Damn, I'm lazy.

 

Lol, it feels satisfying to me (especially in a 3DS) I just like removing and inserting cartridges

I've been guilty of this to. lol. I like buying digitally but there's always that small concern about what if a company goes out of business or some legal issue comes up and you can't re-download certain games if you lose them.

I want to play again already. I'm so depressed now that it's over. :(

i cant believe someone actually thinks like this

People keep on forgetting that Nintendo is going for the largest market possible, and that is people who effectively won't disable voice chat yet will either be turned off by manchild screaming and tell everyone considering the game about the manchild screaming; or may actually receive harm. Nintendo had to disable flipnote for 3DS because some guys managed to lure some little girls to them and rape them. No matter which way you cut it, you have to realize that it is better for Nintendo to just completely do away with voice chat.

 

Maybe if it ends up that Splatoon's market mostly overlaps with people that really want voice chat

Voice chat would only be beneficial in a competitive type match where you are playing with a squad of friends against another team. Otherwise, if voice chat is available in the normal online match half the people are going to have it disabled/muted, not have a mic, or not communicate anything of substance.

 

 

Cool, even if NOA owns the team.

The motion controls with the Wii U gamepad are not as precise and easy to control as, say, a mouse. It's too floaty. That being said, I would rather be using a thumbstick than be forced to twist my controller every which way. Players should be allowed to choose what is most comfortable for them. Just because you fancy one doesn't mean that those who prefer the other should be left in the dust. That's selfish, and it puts those who are not capable of using quite as well as the other at an inherent disadvantage when there doesn't need to be one.

Even if that may be the case, it should still be an option for those who want it. It could be disabled by default, yet made clear to all that it's an option (and its benefits also made note of) if they ever wish to use it. Those who don't can keep on playing the game without it, while those that have enabled VC will only be able to communicate with others who have done the same. Muting players should also be an option given to those that enable VC, and any players routinely found to be causing trouble would be automatically muted, requiring players to manually unmute them if they wish to hear them speak.

Game looked as good as Mario Kart 8 IMO. It's funny how Wii U has a screen in the controller like Dreamcast. Mario Kart 8 a bunch of it is modeled after Sega Transformed (which was modeled after MK7..funy cycle) Splatoon is Nintendo's funky attitude game that has a similar feel as Jet Set Radio and Xenoblade Chronicles X is similar in many ways to Phantasy Star series off and online. Nintendo is turning a tad bit into old SEGA. The good one. It's just funny to see. The less they rely on Mario the better. Keep Mario of course just branch out more like they have been. No voice chat,doesn't need it. Get over it. Splatoon should do with shooters MK did to racing and Smash did to fighting but this time does not rely on Mario's stache. That is what they should and looks like they are aiming to do for the future.

From what I played. The main online mode is about covering ink, you see a spot with no ink or enemy ink? cover it. See that X? A team-mate died. More too. VC isn't that important in the main mode, though may see more use in the ranked battles.
But Splatoon does not need voice chat, the Wii U does. I won't ever use it probably, but they kinda had a idea with Wii U chat, and it never happened.

Another decent commercial, more kid focused this time

If you cannot speak in a calm, polite, and legible manner then I haven't any inclincation to respond to you further. I'm all for having a discussion, but not when the person I'm speaking to is being rude and obnoxious both in the way they're speaking and what is being said.

Yeah... i don't care if you want to discuss controls and what you feel is better but there is no reason to sling mud or try and demean others. Also, please clean up how you make your posts from now on. Sentences, punctuation and basic spacing can do wonders to get your point across without it looking like your just posting the same thoughts and opinions over and over.

ink it up.

Mourn and I decided to ban ukinsiderNX today. He didn't take any advice from mods regarding how he structures/writes his posts and clearly was disrespectful to members here over simple opinions and preferences. Sorry it went on as long as it did.

 

Back to the topic of Splatoon.

Japan is getting a Splatoon manga soon

http://wiiudaily.com...oon-manga-soon/

 

 

 

Manga-crazy Japan will be getting a Splatoon manga comic book later this month. Not much is known about the manga besides a few images that have been posted on Twitter (1,2, 3). One thing is for sure: it doesn’t look like it’s an official Nintendo creation — the Nintendo logo doesn’t appear on the cover of the book, and the company rarely allows for their IP to be used for other media such as comic books.

 

According to Japanese sources, the Splatoon manga is a one-time thing that is included in this month’s issue of CoroCoro Comic — CoroCoro is a monthly Japanese manga magazine published by Shogakukan.
