Pestneb Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Yeah... I'm hoping it turns out well, watching the direct the game gave me a good feeling, in terms of the gameplay. If it plays the way it looks to, local multiplayer should be awesome!
Serebii Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Splatoon is only 1.8GB to download. EAD's compression gods are at it again.
Wii Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Anyone else find that slightly concerning? I know Zelda: The Wind Waker HD took up 1,792MB but that was a completely different style of graphic. I hope it's not a short game. They promised that it won't be.

Wii Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Yeah, this makes it not a next gen title, right? No. It may mean there's not a lot of content in the game. Don't even try that years old next gen BS, it's beyond sad at this stage.

You're the one who said it, though :P I'm just "busting your chops", anyway. You need to remember that Nintendo EAD are amazing at compression. Super Mario 3D World had a crapload of content and had similar filesize.
dazzybee Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Is there just a splatoon video? Wouldn't mind seeing the 1v1 but do t want to watch everything.

Wii Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Is there just a splatoon video? Wouldn't mind seeing the 1v1 but do t want to watch everything. Don't mind that $h1t€ link. I posted a video here only yesterday which confirmed local multiplayer, 1 v 1 which was a doubt. Nobody said anything which shows ye don't pay attention. What was nice was that one player played on the TV and the other played on the gamepad. That's a worthy feature of the gamepad. One I'd keep for next gen. The gamepad isn't a problem, it's only as good as the developers imagination. Wii U - Nintendo Treehouse: Live with Splatoon 00:00 Nintendo Direct Reactions 01:50 Battle Dojo 07:00 Single-Player Mission Mode 12:26 Splatoon amiibo & amiibo Challenge 15:22 Online Multiplayer: Turf War 29:02 Online Multiplayer: Ranked Mode - Splat Zones This is it. It's at the start. Battle Dojo. Edited April 4, 2015 by Wii Automerged Doublepost
dazzybee Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 cheers. Ended up watching a bit of the treehouse too. The game looks so good, I can't wait. Really worried though, my baby's due 16th June and can be 3 weeks early Don't mind that $h1t€ link. I posted a video here only yesterday which confirmed local multiplayer, 1 v 1 which was a doubt.

Looks pretty good fun. Shame two people can't go online from one machine!

S.C.G Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Cheers for the heads-up @Serebii : peace: ordered the big pack and paid in advance with PayPal, looks like it's day 1 for me! (hopefully)
Cube Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Hopefully the Girl Inkling gets released on its own. The prices there are quite expensive.
Serebii Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Cheers for the heads-up @Serebii : peace: ordered the big pack and paid in advance with PayPal, looks like it's day 1 for me! (hopefully) Yeah, I caved and got the big pack. Was only going to get the bundle and one of the Inklings, but I figure...why the frak not? Plus, I get a bitching t-shirt
VsPhoenix Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Thank you so much @Serebii . Saw your post on twitter and just managed to get one of the complete bundles in the nick of time. They were disappearing from the site as I was trying to get them and ended up with the XL version. Looks like all that progress on Wii Fit was a waste of time!
dazzybee Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Sold out already. What the fuck are nintendo playing at? Do they want sales?! I'm going to be so pissed off if they don't put more up
Serebii Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Well they removed them from searches meaning they weren't meant to go up yet.
S.C.G Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Well they removed them from searches meaning they weren't meant to go up yet. Hmm what does that mean? Only the XL one you linked to is even appearing on the site now, I bought and paid for mine so surely they won't cancel on us?
dazzybee Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Well they removed them from searches meaning they weren't meant to go up yet. Okay, maybe it's precautionary. But how difficult is it to provide enough for people. It's been too long now to keep making excuses for the production line. It's getting really weird!! I'm getting worried they won't keep rereleasing stocks. I'm missing a Shulk amiibo, maybe squid. I've always been confident I'd get them eventually, but worried Nintendo actually like this situation.
dazzybee Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Okay. Order in. Good. Great pack!!! Now still on for the great Shulk hunt!!
Ronnie Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 They're back in stock Lol so you mean the above drama queen hysterics were all for nothing? Of course they were going to put more up.
dazzybee Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Lol so you mean the above drama queen hysterics were all for nothing? Of course they were going to put more up. Why obviously? Have they put more little macs up? Or Shulks? Or Rosalinas? Or Toads?
Ronnie Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Yes they've put more up of all of those at various points in the last few months. This is a game that isn't even out for another month and a half. Of course they wouldn't stop selling these after half an hour of sales.
