Hero-of-Time Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Apparently there are a total of 95 ( +3 from amiibo ) T-Shirts, 50 ( +3 from amiibo ) Hats and 50 ( +3 from amiibo ) Shoes to unlock/buy in the game. That should keep me busy for a while.
Sprout Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Reached level 20 last night. (can't let Hero-of-Time be first to do everything =P). I'm a squid now. Also beat the single player last night (sans amiibo), so now all that's left to do is keep on playing multiplayer and buying all of the things.
D_prOdigy Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 People weren't lying about the final boss. It's so inking fun!
Ronnie Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Splatoon Is the Best Game Nintendo’s Made in Years Nintendo has done it again - it has taken what is arguably a stale and over-familiar genre and done something original and innovative with it. Splatoon is a fantastic title which will hopefully create a whole new generation of online gamers, and shouldn't be missed if you own a Wii U Well done Nintendo, you have indeed done it again. Splatoon is one ink-credible multiplayer shooter. Nintendo have done it again. Splatoon feels incredibly different to anything that you’ve played before, and is all the more refreshing for it. Summary: One of the best TPS and multiplayer game ever released. This is easily one of the most purely enjoyable titles available on the Wii U Splatoon is a wonderfully fresh take on one of the industry’s most tired genres. Overall, Splatoon makes for an amazing online game, likely the most engaging online experience Nintendo has ever made Not only is this game a fresh take on an arena shooter with its mechanics, it has to be one of the most solid ones ever made. If you have an internet connection and a Wii U, you 100% need this game. Somehow, Splatoon is a true masterpiece that changes the face of the shooter genre with its unique attitude and its brilliant gameplay. Beautiful and wildly addictive, this joins Mario Kart as one of the finest multiplayer games available. Pretty much top to bottom, every part of it is a dance between polished comfort and excited brilliance, not unlike a bedroom splashed with neon paint. Its moments of genius are plentiful, and everything about it wholly memorable. Splatoon is easily the freshest shooter in years and delivers superbly on all fronts; we have an inkling you'll love this. Inkcredible reviews, especially for an incomplete game. Well done Ninty. Huge number of 9 out of 10 reviews.
RedShell Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 That Splatoon fan art thread over at Neogaf is amazing: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=837761 Love this one: Kawaii! Cool to see a new game providing so much inspiration.
Guy Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 80% is great, especially considering a fair few of the criticisms are lack of content that will be addressed in the coming months.
Ronnie Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Splatoon stands at just over 80% after 50+ reviews. 80% is great for an incomplete game. And it's not about the scores but the reviews themselves. "Nintendo reinvents the shooter genre" "brilliant and beautiful" "one of the best third person shooters ever released" etc.

Ronnie Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Actually I haven't touched it yet. My connection issues have returned so want to get those sorted before jumping in. Worried I'll get left behind while everyone levels up! You enjoying it?

Worried I'll get left behind while everyone levels up! You enjoying it? Indeed. No need to worry about being left behind. Hell, i'm level 19 and still using the same gun as I started with!
Cube Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Out of interest, what do people want in terms of representation of other franchises? Nintendo seem keen on it, and I can see more coming to Splatoon at some point. Obviously, they want it to have it's own identity right now. I actually don't want things which too obvious - no Varia Suit, no Link hat, no Delphino map. I'd love t-shirts and stuff with things from other franchises (Hylian Crest t-shirt, for example). It would also be cool if you could unlock them straight away with Amiibo, and wait for them to appear in the store otherwise.
Ronnie Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Because it's a new IP it should be given time to grow and develop on its own. No need for other franchises to come barging in unless it's really subtle.
Wii Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 What if they had a mode where the whole arena was covered in ink and you had something similar to the Poltergeist 5000 and you had to suck up the ink. The team who sucks up the most ink wins. And you could only suck up so much before emptying it in your tank back at base. And maybe you could suck up the opposition as well. They can call the mode Sucktoon.

They can call the mode Sucktoon. Isn't suction what you would've called it if you didn't like it I don't mind the idea, but in practice it may not actually work, as it becomes more of a speed thing... But I like the idea of once it's sucked up it's gone.... There's something in there. The FLUDD could work too - washing it away instead of sucking it up. As for what i want to see. I want all amiibo to unlock T Shirts. Personally I probably would love full on costumes and themed levels too, but can't see it. Ultimately, anything! I just want more and more of this delightful game!
Wii Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 And you would have to be smart about it. Climb up and get the ink in the high areas first otherwise you won't be able to swim up if you clean the lower areas first.
nekunando Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 A FLUDD gun would be sweet, though. I'll be pretty shocked if FLUDD doesn't appear in some form I'm not sure what way it could be incorporated yet but it seems like the sort of thing that would fit perfectly into the world of Splatoon, even if it was filled with paint instead of water Using it to squirting, hovering or blasting up to highter parts of a stage could be interesting.. or maybe we'll get a stage based on Isle Delfino
Wii Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Rumor: Splatoon selling through over 90% of its initial shipment in Japan Splatoon is doing very, very well in Japan. Because of the game’s strong sales, the game has been tough to find on store shelves. Nintendo even issued an apology on its Twitter account last week, and vowed to ship more copies in the coming days. We’re now hearing that Splatoon managed to sell through over 90 percent of its initial shipment in Japan. That isn’t confirmed just yet, but it wouldn’t be terribly shocking based on reports of how its selling out at various stores. This would also likely mean that Splatoon sold somewhere in the range of 150,000 copies in Japan. We should be receiving official data on Wednesday! http://nintendoeverything.com/rumor-splatoon-selling-through-over-90-of-its-initial-shipment-in-japan/
Kounan Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 God, I can see myself spending money on it to soon....
Serebii Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Next stage is added tomorrow As is the Zapper Ranked battle opens at midnight
somme Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Looks good Have they said how many stages they plan to add in the future?
