elf help book posted:I don't believe Nintendo rumors. Yeah some of those do sound a little too good to be true. We'll find out tomorrow.  Looking at the colors, they pretty much picked all the main good contrasting colors which is smart, although they have pink instead of red and lime green instead of yellow. I guess red all over the walls might look like blood and yellow... would be bad too.

New video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvFfxBvhM9A I'm gonna warn you right now, the guy in the video is insufferable. He's doing some 90s xtreeeeeme tubular rad over the top attempt to appeal to millennials or something, and its really really bad. Some cool game footage though. BGR preview: http://bgr.com/2015/05/06/splatoon-preview-wii-u/ quote:What you won’t find in Splatoon is a deep, Call of Duty-like progression system, but you can level up and collect in-game currency to buy upgrades and cosmetic items, some of which will increase your stats. Once you reach level 10, you’ll unlock ranked battles, where you can put your skill to the test against the other top Splatooners. Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 04:49 on May 7, 2015 |

The squid amiibo is exclusive to either the game bundle or the amiibo 3-pack, you can't buy it individually. Boy/Girl will be available individually. Each one unlocks different weapons/costumes within the game. They look like this: http://www.levelup.com/noticias/317699/Estos-son-los-nuevos-amiibo-de-Splatoon TRU is doing a "pre-order Splatoon, get any amiibo at pickup for $5" deal, incidentally.

If you're doing pick up games, I bet it comes down to a vote, or randomizing.

I assume if you pick your own color then it's just always your perceived team color and the other team is random? Or it's for the fashion lobby online. I guess nobody knows for certain yet.

The colours shown in trailers always seem to be contrasting to one another and that helps identify how much area is covered in who's ink. I would prefer it to be that way rather than having a preference.

We're all being optimistic here. Ronnie posted:The colours shown in trailers always seem to be contrasting to one another and that helps identify how much area is covered in who's ink. I would prefer it to be that way rather than having a preference. Hm, so you think it always picks like Orange v Blue or Pink v Green or Purple v Cyan, like that? Would make sense.

http://www.twitch.tv/nintendouk/v/4781129 link to the direct for those like me who missed the live version Skin color and eye color are customized for your squidgirl/squidboy, but team color changes each time you go into battle. Still not clear if you get to vote or if its random. The maps look really cool and well designed. I see blue vs lime green, so that would mean that colors aren't required to be opposites, since we've seen blue vs orange too right? Yep, different color matchups are possible! Any 2 colors seems like. Each of the primary weapons we've seen (shooter, charger, roller) are actually categories with many weapons of each type. The "Blaster" works a lot like Unreal Tournament's flak launcher, gently caress yesssss.  Scoped sniper, railgun, machine gun, etc. etc. All you'd need. Gear grants you skills, like in Monster Hunter. Single player involves crazy stuff like grinding on ink rails like tony hawk and painting invisible walls to walk on like raiders of the lost ark! Online features 2 stages to focus on, and then they swap every 4 hours. Unranked mode features turf war and teams are scrambled every round. Ranked mode has multiple game types such as capture zones (splat zones) as well as tower control (kinda like tf2 payload) and rainmaker? which are more focused than turf war. Two new modes coming soon! 4v4, play with up to 3 friends matched up against other teams or play with 8 total friends who then get split into teams. Expansions coming after launch including more stages! Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 17:41 on May 7, 2015 |

Its basically Team Fortress mixed with Super Mario Sunshine mixed with Portal 2 which sounds brilliant. I wish we had a co-op mode instead of 1v1 though. Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 19:41 on May 7, 2015 |

The rollers are effectively melee weapons, and all the sub-weapons are pretty nuts. This is gonna be a lot of fun.NBHS posted:Yellow is obviously the correct color. Sorry chief, no yellow.

The 2d minigame thing is actually legit. So far almost all of the rumors are true. No mention of tie-ins with other Nintendo franchises though. Inkling girl amiibo levels focus on sniper rifles, Inkling boy amiibo levels focus on roller melee, inkling squid amiibo levels combine 'kraken weapon' and a limited supply of ink. All 3 unlock special gear. GLOBAL TEST DEMO IS AVAILABLE ON ESHOP NOW, ONLY PLAYABLE MAY 9TH! Kinda lame, see you guys Saturday. Full game is available 10% off on eShop if you pre-order. Inkling costumes coming soon to Smash Bros! Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 19:53 on May 7, 2015 |

Did they say what kinds of skills the items you unlock give? I'm guessing probably some things like ammo capacity or squidding faster in your team's ink.

Yeah, things like using less ink to shoot, faster super jump, something called "ninja squid" (squid form is harder to see?), extra damage, faster ink regeneration, faster swim speed, "last ditch effort" (more damage towards the end of the match maybe?), faster human form movement, etc. Sounds like all kinds of stuff. Looks to be a fairly huge amount of clothing for customization, including fake brands.
