Gaming Splatoon

[Deboog]

Anybody getting this game? I like the idea but I will NOT be getting it at full price -especially after what I read about local multiplayer.

- No Wii Remote/Nunchuck option for a SHOOTER

Thank god.

- No bringing a buddy with you online

Yeah that's dumb.

- P2 must have Pro Controller

As opposed to what? Another gamepad?

- No classic controller support

The classic controller has such awkward analog sticks though.

- Must use Gamepad Gyro to aim ...awkward!

At E3 people just used the right stick...

The gyro aiming has been confirmed to be optional but the game still doesn't necessarily need to be a Wii U GamePad exclusive.

Need the map? Press L, select the area and jump in! Bam it's done.

But the map isn't just for spawning on allies. The game is based around have a map detailed enough to tell at a glance what part of the ground is painted what color. A standard two tone transparent military FPS map shoved in the corner wouldn't cut it.

What about a multicolor transparent military FPS map shoved in the corner?

Gently place it adjacent to the corner and I could go for it

Splatoon is 1.8 Gigs. Fairly small but I'm impressed!

Huh.. What? Is that the size of the Splatoon demo?

It's hard to believe that the full game would be that small.

 

[LightyKD]

Huh.. What? Is that the size of the Splatoon demo? There is no Splatoon Demo. Also, remember that Mario 3D World is also this small.

It's hard to believe that the full game would be that small.

 

[WiiCube_2013]

Mario 3D World is that small too? That's surprising as the game looks great and plays smoothly without drops.

Meh could care less about file size as long as the game is fun

The audio (music) is an important factor for me since Nintendo games have some of the best VGM out there. Compressed audio can be pretty shitty.

yeah that is true but there are awful music games with large file sizes and vice versa. Issues is people bitch about large files BUT also complain about lack of feature and compression so it is a problem

 

[Beware]

The Gyro controls of this game are actually great. Very subtle and easy to control.

As far as file size is concerned, Nintendo is stellar at packing content into small files.

Seems like a waste of a 25GB disk, though

But making an extra 24gb of content costs money

 

[Beware]

Yeah, but it's vital to their blossoming online presence.

And if you've played 3D World, you know they can easily fit a full game's worth of content in only a few GB.

Really hoping they'll eventually patch to allow 2 players locally to play online.

My friends don't have a wiiu and it would be cool to play this with them. That 1vs1 local mode looks really dull tbh. Clearly nothing like the online modes offer.

4 player local could work.

1x GamePad
3x WUPCs

And a map on the bottom left/right.

The GamePad player would have the advantage over the others because he/she can just jump anywhere but the WUPC could do it too but it's Nintendo.. they're not known to support the WUPC.

 

[Kangaxx]

Will the game support the Pro Controller online? I don't mean coop local games, I mean I will be the only player playing online.

WUPC is only for local player 2, sadly.

I imagined they could make the map-jump possible by pressing the two shoulder buttons, choose whereabouts in the map and press A! but no, it's not happening.
