Splatoon - Nintendo 2015

[Lebowski]

some interesting first impressions of hands on time with the Nintendo E3 demo i wasn't aware this used the wiiu's game-pads giros for aiming, they did his in wii fit u on the water hose game and it was quite a serviceable mechanic if a bit tiring, that game had you firing water at oncoming mud-caked miis's while stepping on the balance board to pump the water.

Will give this the benefit of the doubt as I'm sure it will be interesting, I'm still not sold massively on the art style i just think it looks quite generic the characters are not up to nintendos usual high standard they remind me a bit of the eyetoy characters that sony did, in that its quite a lazy thing to do just whacking headphones beenie hats and hightops on generic looking big headed characters.


also whats going on with there eyes i though there where googles at first but some seem to be wearing googles on there heads, id think Nintendo would be promoting safety we don't want another pj and Duncan incident*.

Love the look and the ideas in the game. I can see myself playing this for hours online.

Let's just say: Those who are expecting to dive into full online multiplayer Splatoon! come release day are in for one hell of a surprise...and not necessarily a good one.

You heard it here first.

Care to elaborate?

I can't at this time, but it has come directly from the new Social Media manager at Nintendo UK. Trust me on this - I wasn't wrong about the 3DS Sega 3D Classics games, after all.

Personally, I'll be surprised if Splatoon makes much of a dent anyway but I'd say they will be in for a severe hammering if they launch without online multiplayer.

Giving its at Bargain bastment prices in most shops , I can't see this being a hit. Would have to laugh if On-Line is either a optional or sub based extra

I've been looking forward to Splatoon for quite some time; I love the art style and the concept seems brilliant to me.

It's very disappointing to read about potential launch problems. I mean, it's only 4 v 4 and there's no voice chat, so it's hardly as if the net code needs to be on the level of Destiny or any random mmorpg (if that's what the problem turns out to be).

There is a mode which wont be available straight away. I think its the Splat Zones which requires a certain number of players to reach a level before it will go live. That could be it?
