Of course there wouldn't be any Mario Sunshine references in a game that used to be a Mario title and carries inspiration heavily from that game. Why would it? That would make no sense whatsoever!

Sigh...

Fine, I guess I'll take Miiverse's solution.

That's awesome!



You guys realize that that spot specifically is an area where "Mii verse" drawing are posted?

As in...it's not actually there..as soon as that person logs off the server or logs into single player it disappears?

I'm pretty sure he's just complimenting the feature.


Besides, I remember seeing several variations of this image when I first started playing the game on release day.


And the Splatoon Miiverse is crawling with memes and other references.

I honestly like the soft release stuff.

This SPECIFIC model I believe works well for younger kids. Maybe the impatient adults can't handle it, as they need to unlock everything immediately, but the more mystery and unlockables keep kids coming back.

And as someone who can only play the Wii U on weekends it means i get to try lots of new content each weekend and that's pretty cool.

Yeah, that's why I say I'm taking their solution, because there aren't any easter eggs, just people on Miiverse messing around.

I know it's not an actual planned easter egg, but it's a cool idea to make up for it.

I need like a level left to be able to go on rank. So basicly I have to play a crap lot of matches. On the other note I told my friend to play Splatoon but he said "It's stupid because all you do is play multiplayer and shoot people because it doesn't have a story to it." Massive ****ing goon.

*doesn't have a story to it*
Wow... Even if it is a bit bare bones and short, its still there in the campaign mode. There's also the Sunken Scrolls to give an insight into Splatoon.

i was in the store yesterday and i read the back cover of the game box... it simply said its all about the multiplayer. so you know what you pay for, since this aint a story driven game. its more or less japans wacky answer to cod, that is how i see it.

also this time the 3 splatoon amiibos that was released. act more or less like dlc and they unlock playable levels in the game, if you get them.

Most people don't really have any objections to the game mechanics or the level design. It's just the content isn't really there right now, and to get extra content NOW, you have to buy figures that may be hard to find depending on where you live. Also the omission of essential online shooter features like voice chat and parties.

EDIT: OK so you know how I said that some of the maps they are holding back are actually finished but are being held back for arbitrary reasons?

Turns out I was right on the money.

This is a photo of the official Splatoon guide book. Along with leaking some weapons, it also leaks 4 of the upcoming stage DLC.

Camp Triggerfish was shown prominently in the Splatoon Direct and was fully functional by the looks of it.

Kelp Dome and Bluefin Depot, however, are actually maps in single player. The latter of which is actually used for TWO story missions.

There is no reason for them to be held back when they are clearly done. I seriously think the developers are just being condescending at this point and holding back more complex stuff because they feel "players aren't ready".



there is talk about the content being already on the disc and the free stuff will be unlocked at certain dates.. this is to keep the game interested and played through the year to come...

Melee is a game that has remained relevant for over a decade despite never having things being added (specifically vital features, like with Splatoon) incrementally with disc unlocking updates.

It bothers me that people defend Splatoon's nickel and diming with Amiibo, and leaving vital content to be released months after people have paid $60 for it, by saying "IT KEEPS THE GAME RELEVANT".

Just make a really good, solid game and market it well, and it's relevant for years.

The problem is that Splatoon has no competitive scene. And it never will. Its hardly going to be relevant in a month.

Melee is relevant because there is a lot Kore to do in the game, has a crap load of more content, adjust customs rulesets, and can actually be played competitively. Its entertaining as hell to watch where as splatoon is not entertaining to watch.

#220 Posted: 21:26:48 02/06/2015
The reason Splatoon has no competitive scene is because it doesn't have the options to facilitate it, and the dev team seems against some of them.

It isn't anything to do with the quality of the core gameplay, because it more than delivers there, more than any other shooter I've seen.

Splatoon still lacks in play style compared to TF2, though.

#224 Posted: 22:06:55 02/06/2015
zero, why do you feel the need to compare everything to something else?

TF2 is great but Splatoon isn't meant to be inherently like it in the first place. It has it's own merits and offers things TF2 doesn't, and vice versa.

It has more movement options than most games in the genre, TF included. Like, miles more. Don't even attempt to debate that much, as it's pretty much the only online shooter that puts any emphasis on this aspect besides Uncharted.

It has a class system of sorts designed to give players with different skills a fighting chance, which is just like TF.

It has very well designed maps even if there aren't enough at the moment.

It has people coming up with intuitive techniques in order to play better:



Don't know why I bother with you though since it's like talking to a robot at this point.

Intuitive techniques aren't going to change the base formula of the game. It's still boring as hell to watch. There is nothing another player could contribute to Splatoon that another player couldn't.

So Lunar, it looks like you may get your big Super Mario Sunshine reference in Splatoon after all!

[User Posted Image]

While this is currently a rumoured leak and not confirmed, it is backed up by the fact that Nintendo accidentally listed Splatoon as being compatible with the Dr. Mario Amiibo for Smash.

That may seem irrelevant at first, but a recent study on NFC character identification in Amiibos backs up the theory that the Smash Bros Dr. Mario Amiibo will likely function identically to other Mario Amiibos outside of Smash.

I...

That's amazing. That Mario render is gorgeous, but...

I don't believe it, and for a few reasons.

1. Nothing in that picture can't be replicated fairly simply in Photoshop. Even the render, which looks official, can be replicated as has been shown before. We are in the eye of the storm of fake leaks thanks to Rayman, (Twilight Princess 3D, Medievil PS4, PM:TYD 3D, etc.), so even if nothing here could be faked, I'd still be wary.

2. Where is this screen supposed to be used? It doesn't really match any other part of the game and the proportions look too strange to be shown on the Gamepad, so where? The obvious spot would be the Amiibo box, right? However, as far as I know, this doesn't look anything like that. Plus, where is the "Press B to go back" button or explanation about what exactly happens when you place one of the many Mario Amiibo on the Gamepad. Both Mario Kart 8 and Smash 4 have something like this, so unless JP regions don't have that sort of thing, where are they? This screen honestly looks more akin to an announcement trailer than a part of the game.

3. As said above, what is the content? As it looks now, it seems like you get to play as Mario and F.L.U.D.D. My question is how that would work. Will Mario be able to turn into a Squid, as that's a very important part of the gameplay. Would the Hover, Rocket, or Turbo nozzles be used for F.L.U.D.D.? How would the shown picture in Singleplayer work if you can't turn into a squid? The only thing I can think of that could work is a few Mario Sunshine themed Amiibo challenges, maybe using some of the secret levels from that game (Twisty Trials Galaxy, anyone?). He looks to not be able to shoot ink, as F.L.U.D.D. in the render is containing water, not ink. (Unless it's light blue ink, which I doubt.) That's two main gimmicks that Mario seems to not be able to perform. This seems way too good to be true, and probably isn't.

I really want it to be real, but there are too many weird things about it. I really don't want to get my hopes up for nothing.

#242 Posted: 21:13:08 04/06/2015
The image isn't supposed to be in-game FYI, I think it's just a "leaked" promotional image.

Also the render is not a past render. It would not be easy to recreate in PhotoShop. Keep in mind that ArtsyOmni did his Rayman leak to advertise Smashified. He would not have put so much effort into it otherwise. It wasn't something he did overnight.

I'm not gonna go either way. It's ambiguous as to what the content is. But there is that slip up on Nintendo's part on listing Dr. Mario's Amiibo as compatible with Splatoon, and that Amiibo is very likely to function as regular Mario Amiibo outside of Smash, as evidenced by that guy's research.

As for what it could be:

[User Posted Image]

It could easily be a new mode where a player plays as Mario and tries to clean up the mess of ink left by a bunch of Inkling players. Many multiplayer shooters have a "1 Player VS The Rest" mode, and I can see this working.

I could also see a modified single-player mode working for Mario. Just give him the abilities he had in Sunshine, and change the levels around slightly where needed, and he could easily get through the entire single-player.

It has no range, it absolutely sucks at spreading ink and splatting enemies, and when you try to brush over enemy ink, you still get stuck in in for some reason.
