So with that bundle being announced is there going to be an option to buy the joycons separately? It's stupid if not. I'd love to give them my money for those.

I'm sure eventually they will. I'm going to purchase this bundle for my significant other in the meantime.

Europe got their Flight vs Invisibility Splatfest announced, dunno about the others yet. Strangely I don't see it announced in-game yet. Maybe tomorrow then.

Doesn't make clothes your wearing and objects your holding invisible. Garbage invisibility that wouldn't even be useful for much.

I just hope that Fresh case is available separately. Funny how I bought my Switch from Walmart, which was my third stop in my search.

Does my invisibility affect my clothes and stuff I'm holding because if not then gently caress that, let me fly.

If we're going by the picture then nope, clothes are still visible, as are your eyes maybe?

That's some lovely invisibility.

There's literally no way to transfer saves between consoles yet, right? If my wife bought that Splatoon 2 bundle, she couldn't move her current save file over to the new console?

Just looked this up because I figured no way would they do something this fuckin' stupid especially when you can easily transfer saves on the 3DS... but nope, looks like they can't, at least not for now.
I really want that Splatoon 2 one too, so I can co-op together with my kids and hopefully help them be less terrible.

That case is sold separately in Japan http://www.play-asia.com/nintendo-switch-carrying-case-screen-protector-splatoon-2-editi/13/70b70h

So I would assume we'll be getting it too, same with the just buying the pink and green joycons

Yeah seeing as how my clothes and equipment don't turn invisible with me my dreams of being an investigate journalist are dashed. I'll just choose flying, I can't swim but I can fly. Don't have to worry about falling off of buildings, I can also get a job working at very dangerous heights.

That's a tough decision. I think I'll go with flight, since that has more useful (and ethical) utility than invisibility. Also the version of invisibility here is appears to be the worst kind where you need to be naked in order for it to actually work.

That's honestly probably not a good way to go about things. Maybe if the popularity was extremely lopsided sure, but I'm thinking the teams will be considerably more even this time. (Ketchup being paired with mayo isn't exactly a common comparison outside of Japan. Mustard probably would have evened out the teams more.) And the least popular teams have to win both match categories while the more popular team only has to win one. Really it's a crapshoot either way, and the only penalty for picking the losing team is getting 3 less Super Sea Snails. Just pick the side you want.

Personally, I'm sticking with flight.

Why are the vast majority of shoes ugly af? How am I supposed to get my lil squiddy looking all fresh with all these ugly-rear end options?

Unrelated, but I find myself gravitating to pretty much only playing Salmon Run on account of generally being bad at and being paired with bads in ranked. I should prob play with goons instead of rando pubbies tbh, but my horrible internet at home forces me to play handheld only for the time being. I guess I could set it up without the joycons connected, but eh.

I got myself a pair of the squid Yeezys (I don't remember what they're called in game) and haven't looked back. I probably should, because their effect is quick respawn, but that actually came in handy in a recent Rainmaker round.

I can't fix your internet issues, but what I will say is that I had a super satisfying evening of Rainmaker tonight--instead of the usual spate of C- and C ranked players most of my games were made up of C+ pubbies, which meant that the matches were actually even and good fights! And then when I got up to B- it felt like there was a huge leap in skill level, other people were actually using the rails and walls instead of trying to rush their way up the path on Moray Towers and immediatly dying.

It's heck to get through the C ranks--I actually put the game aside for a few days after one particularly disastrous evening when I went 3/13 in Tower Control--but oh man does it feel good to be in B. Now to I just get through with other two modes. I might not even bother with Splat Zones until they nerf the Tri-Slosher (or I get better with it).

I usually main tri slosher but I swap off for splat zones because of the emphasis on ranged battles. I tend to do a lot better with the 96 gal or a splatling, depending on the maps

In the rounds I've played its all been Tri-Slosher (the point being on the tallest place in the level makes the bucket truely OP) or Aerospray (Curling Bomb Launcher clears the point, and the ink output helps keep it and keep your special charged up). Like, I get why people are using them, but I don't like either of the weapons.

I've tried the 96 Cal but I always forget about the range and the slowdown while shooting and it throws me off (I tend to ink behind and chase). Really the only two weapons in the game that feel "right" to me are the N-Zap and Sploosh-O-Matic, and when I try to use any other ones I do badly and then feel guilty that we lose (even though it's just Turf War).
