Retro_Link Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 I love how well this game has been received! Getting a second showing on the Treehouse now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCZ734RshPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 This game just looks mint. It's just going to be amazing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnas Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 So, it has come to this: can Splatoon be to Nintendo what Team Fortress 2 is to Valve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tapedeck Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Watching the stream...YES. It's everything as wanted a Nintendo shooter to be. A sweet single player mode going through these bright, sunny industrial towns would be nice too. I NEED more info. It can't just be a multiplayer game as it wouldn't have such a huge showing and be coming out late. It looks done as just a multiplayer game.

Jimbob Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 It does actually look to be a lot of fun, one to keep an eye on i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogge Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 First impression while looking at the intro animation was... "For f**ks sake!". After watching actual gameplay was "Seems like a clever, original game, not just a gimmick fest". By the time I watched the treehouse showing, I was sold. And am I the only one who gets a sort of Dreamcast vibe off this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxigen_Waste Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Looks very promising. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sméagol Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Just watched the E3 presentation.. This was one of the highlights (well, thinking in hindsight, there were many highlights, but this was one of the more exciting ones while watching it). It seems like so much fun, and a welcome variation on the multiplayer shooter genre. The gameplay mechanics just look perfect. Looking forward to this. Although at first I was thinking it would be a Blob 3 announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 This is going to be something very special I reckon, looks like such a laugh. Yet another 2015 title though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) Also the game brings back great memories of... (which was also a shooter with paint involved :P) Edited June 11, 2014 by Retro_Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londragon Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 This was an amazingly stand-out title for me. What with the family friendly shooter approach. And, looking at some of the different weapons on show, and the possibility of different modes, (they showed the Turf Wars mode), I can seeing this having some wonderful depth to it. Looking forward to 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I just hope there's a single player campaign as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 This looks like so much fun. Doesn't really need a single player really, just as long as the multiplayer is as good as it's promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Everytime I look at this I can't help but think to myself "REALLY!? This is being made by EAD!?" It's just soooooo un-Nintendo like in style! The art style is very western (closest example is K.N.D or DeBlob), the genre is more or less completely new to Nintendo, the gameplay set is very modern (they even have killcams, re-spawning, the works!), it's online focused, the music is nothing like anything they've ever done before... It does look completely brilliant though! Such utterly genius ideas! Great use of the Gamepad too! Looks like a real winner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestneb Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 This looks like so much fun. Doesn't really need a single player really, just as long as the multiplayer is as good as it's promise. maybe a set of missions that require use of different techniques. Using different weapons, laying ambush, jumping across the map to help team mates, finding opponents by using the map and seeing where your ink is being over inked. Have a scoring system so people can try and improve their personal best scores, compare against friends etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fused King Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 At least two of the creators looked like new blood, but I don't know if this is true... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen-i Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Also the game brings back great memories of... (which was also a shooter with paint involved :P) Aw maaaan! SMTV never fails to get me nostalgic. MMMMMMMMMISTYYYY! Why can't ITV be as good as that anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 At least two of the creators looked like new blood, but I don't know if this is true... Supposedly they worked on NSMB2 last, so they're not new to Nintendo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fused King Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) Hah, looks like I wasn't the only one thinking this: Originally Posted by Porcile Who were the guys developing the game? I've not seen them before. Nice to see a new generation of talent coming through at Nintendo. Reaction: Hisashi Nogami Producer - Directed Animal Crossing, Animal Crossing Wild World, & Animal Crossing City Folk. Also involved in creating Miis. Now Producer at EAD 2. Yusuke Amano - Director - Directed New Super Mario Brothers 2 Tsubasa Sakaguchi - Director. This is basically his first game project as a director. Graphic designer/character designer for games like Twilight Princess and Nintendo Land. NINTENDO would do well to do these kind of behind the scenes developer talks more often accompanying Iwata Asks perhaps... Edit: The Fan Art for this game? Already amazing. Is this a stab at a particular poster from a game or just a general stab at gritty shooters? Edit: Never mind, it's a crack at this: Edited June 11, 2014 by Fused King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Gibbs Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 It seems even if nintendo management haven't been willing to do any western style games (or inspired ones) that their developers have paid attention and been ready for the chance.... I actually really want this game...NOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) I was just about to come here and say the same thing about the fanart. It's all over tumblr, really seems to have struck a chord. Also: Edited June 11, 2014 by gaggle64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
