I liked the roller but I have a feeling it's going to be the Little Mac of this game.

Next test run I want to try the splattershot that comes with the cluster bombs some more, I only tried it once without really understanding how the alt weapons worked.

the gyro is too twitchy to make sniper rifles usable. there needs to be an option to turn it off to make it usable at anything other than short range, and if you want to play short range then take the smg or the roller because lmao those blow the other two weapons out of the water

I was bagging head shots left and right with the sniper because I was playing children most likely, but it's a useless weapon in the mode in the demo

I played with it on for the first half an hour and the off the second half an hour. I don't think gyro is bad it'll just take some getting used to.

it will probably be a much more powerful asset in deathmatch mode

i couldnt find the option to turn the gyro off so i guess its my fault. if it was in a start menu then i didnt touch it because opening the start menu in the tutorial zone crashed my wii u so i never pushed the button again

the shield is super great, a guy got saved from me by it and i'd like to think his team did it on purpose but it was probably an accident considering how hectic things get

i have a feeling people don't really look at the map as much as me because every time my team gets pushed back i just kind of roll behind the enemy and take all their land while they're loving around in the 5 square feet in front of my teams spawn, and then my team mates all super jump to me and we end up winning

bubble is hilarious when you see a big line of paint sneaking up on you on the mini-map

oh gently caress better hit the stick and roller guy is running you over multiple times as you calmly turn around and fill him with hurt paint

I need to apologize to Nintendo for doubting them. Incredible that they were able to show up all other companies and actually deliver a working online product for a network stress test

Splatoon, a heavily online matchmaking dependent game, is going to launch flawlessly day one and a lot of people are going to say "Well that's more proof that nobody has a Wii U". And I'm going to SMDH.

I am glad that literal children are playing because I am a dumb baby when it comes to shooters. Is anybody here kind of learning the controls, like a baby, and doing okay?

The Direct made it seem like they're going to trickle out modes in a way that the entire community earns them by leveling up, which is pretty cool. I have way too little time for video games and that's the only reason i'm only considering picking it up rather than just saying it'll be my next Nintendo purchase.

I haven't enjoyed a console shooter this much since Timesplitters 2.

If only it had some REAL local multiplayer.
