Yeah you do, as the challenges as based on the single player levels. You should get a little menu screen like this: Completing each row of challenges unlocks something. A hat, shirt, shoes, weapon and a arcade game.

I had the same thing happen Apparently the brand of the clothing effects the chances of what perks you might get when you level them up: Taken from Gamefaqs

woah nice work!. Was that with random players or other people from this forum?

New trailer YES!

Apparently not. Someone did a good write up on how exp, money and points are worked out on gamefaqs that's worth a look: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/805617-splatoon/71902353

man I am terrible in ranked mode, I think i'm going to get some more practice in normal mode and come back when I'm level 20.

Took some screenshots in Splatoon

Got my copy this morning and played some single player, but every online game 'i've joined so far has disconnected me half way though. I'm assuming thats just day 1 teething problems on Nintendo's part and not my connection as Mario Kart 8 is working fine. And anything I'm playing on Steam.

true it would have been better if Amiibo had more space on them but right now its not an issue since only one game uses it to save data, as you said, everything else simply reads the chip to unlock content. However, as I understand it NFC chips are fairly limited when it comes to memory: So, Nintendo's hands were a little tied when it came to the memory of these things. Its not really that big of an issue in my opinion though, they could simply allow us to back up our Amiibo data, allowing us to swap around our data whenever they release a game that uses Amiibo's memory in this way. I think Serebii was suggesting something like this in an earlier post.

I missed the 11pm test fire because I was busy, but got back to find out they extended it so caught the last 40 minutes or so. Still great fun

Another trace I've been doing when I've had spare time, just wanted to see what this image looked like in 3D Kinda amazing that they are still adding features to this title after all this time. I highly recommend getting this. Some of the drawing some people have managed to do on it are incredible:

Yeah same here, I bought a Bowser background a little while ago because it looks good but i found the music playing on a loop annoying after a short while, so switched back to one of the plain colour themes. Kinda wish there was an option to turn its music off. That new background with all the consoles looks nice.

might have to get that Bowser Jr

i really want to play this again, i'm almost having withdrawal symptoms after that one hour of gameplay I got to play on Saturday night. They need to do some more tests before the 29th!

@Wii, I think Cube already posted that a page or so back. I noticed when you turn the demo on it says there may be product placement in the game. I'm guessing some of the build boards will change over time and show ads for real products.

Nice gameplay video someone posted on Gaf

Yeah its so simple but it adds so much to the pace of a match. In one of the last games just now I had a teammate who was about to get taken out who was at the corner of the map,and I managed to warp to them in time just in time to help them. It felt great!

Well that was a blast, I really enjoyed it. This demo has sold me on the full game, i hope they add some more times to this demo before the full release. Yeah I'm preferring the regular gun myself. Worst gun for me is that sniper gun, but i'm sure with more practice I could get good with it.

Lylat Wars 2 lol

Always feels good to avoid a Blue Shell, even if I only placed 4th in the end.

Picked up Art of Balance since I enjoyed the demo. Nice relaxing puzzle game with a great soundtrack.

I'm in the same predicament, 6k in stars saved up and I assume this should be the final psychical gift since you can no longer register star points but...what if they release something else anyway?! Although to be honest, I'm not too keen on that Majoras mask light either way.

I've got 8 Amiibo's, which unlocked Zelda LttP, Kirby Super Star, Super Metroid, Baloon Fight, Kid Icarus, Super Mario Bros, Zelda 1, Kirby Adventure. Here's a list here of every scene from each game in case anyone is interested: http://www.mariowiki.com/Amiibo_Tap:_Nintendo%27s_Greatest_Bits

I wasn't sure if this warranted its own thread but this app is available on the Wii U eshop right now and it's Free. Its a simple app where you scan your amiibo's into it and are given a random 3 minute playable segment of a NES or SNES game. Once you scan an amiibo, the game it unlocks is tied to it. So for example my Mario amiibo unlocked Zelda LttP and anytime I scan Mario it will allow me to play one of 9 possible scenes from that game only. With a different amiibo unlocking different games. It looks like there are 30 possible games to unlock: Super Mario Bros. Donkey Kong The Legend of Zelda Kirby's Adventure Super Mario World Excitebike Balloon Fight Yoshi Punch-Out!! Super Mario Bros. 2 F-Zero Wario's Woods Super Metroid Kirby Super Star Kirby's Dream Course Dr. Mario The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Metroid Super Mario Bros. 3 Kid Icarus Zelda II: The Adventure of Link Ice Climber Mach Rider Donkey Kong Jr. Wrecking Crew Super Mario Kart Kirby's Dream Land 3 Clu Clu Land Pinball Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels
