https://mynintendonews.com/2026/04/11/splatoon-raiders-rated-by-pegi-suggests-imminent-release/New trailer and release date coming soon to your phone on the Nintendo Today app.
>>736787002Trying to phase out Directs for they gay fucking app is such a dumb mistake from Nintendo.
>>736787046>Noooo i need to do a reaction for my YouTube You lost, based Nintendo
>>736787002No one cares
>Nintendo todayWhat the fuck?
pls be online pve coop
>>736787002Where did this shadow drop meme come from?
>>736787002Fucking finally, jesus christ. Nintendo has really dropped the ball this year on so many levels.
>>736787002>Fear rating added>Germany rated it as 12+ like Zelda games while the previous games are 6+ Damn
I hope it's a finite solo game so I can get it, fincih it and be ready for splatoon4 whithout needing to play 2 game daily at once.
>>736787436that's where the game was announced, on the app. doesn't make a difference, news outlets will just regurgitate any worthwhile announcements a couple hours later
>>736787534>AIIIIE EROTIC SQUIDS!!! I'M SCARED STIFF
>>736787002>Splatoon Raiders has been rated by PEGIHAPPINESS!
>>736787046It's because they want to harvest data off people's phones, the same reason why you can't use Nintendo Music on the console itself and need the mobile app for it. It's actually one of their scummier recent moves that people don't understand the implications of.
>>736787002pls be offline open world singleplayer
>>736788678Do you have something to hide poor little snoy? :) Everyone already harvest them, why is it suddenly wrong when Nintendo does it?
>>736787002Who are you pegging?
>>736789069When (you) become the product after you pay for a product, something has gone wrong. Game consoles tracking what you do on them is fine, well this trend of built in microphones makes it a little less fine because your Dualsense and Switch 2 are going to be listening to you, but when they also want to track what you're doing off the console that becomes a bit more problematic. A company line Sony can use that for their dynamic pricing and in general, your information is probably getting sold to make these corporations more money.
>>736787256You joke but that's probably one of the reasons the new president wants to move away from directs, along with the possible data harvesting.
>>736787002Great! Only game that's left is Fire Emblem for me.
>>736787002The rating doesn’t mention in game purchases or any reference to internet connection, so probably it’s a offline single player game
>>736789939It’s two articles but FE was also rated beside Splatoon, it’s PEGI 12
>>736787002
>>736790174Why does spiders get to be its own rating category in Europe.
Must mean it's coming out soon. Surprise June release
>>736787002Frye going from 2/10 to 8/10 just from having a better haircut will never cease to be funny.
>>736791663Because we're slowly taking over, d00d.
>>736791663Because everything becomes crabs eventually
>>736787046When 80% of their directs are trash, this is the natural result.
>fearis this going to be similar to reboot tomb raider? it's definitely giving the vibes now that i think of it>>736787441hopefully it isi imagine they must know how much people love playing salmon runs, so there should at least be an optional pve co op mode
>>736787441The ratings don't mention online interactions so probably not.
FE also has updated from a provisional 12 to a firm 12, does that mean anything
>>736792332It means PEGI had a question about part of the game that would have swung the game towards a different rating that they got an answer for. Be that Intelligent Systems providing more info clarifying it or agreeing to change something.
What if it's like Nintendo's Don't Starve? But with squids and machines and mechs.
no usk rating = game isnt even done
>>736792439No one wants trash like don't starve
>>736787046I think there's a balance to be made where announcements that'd be overshadowed in a direct, stuff like that new Yoshi game or release date trailers, could be shadowdropped on the app, youtube, etc. whilst leaving directs for bigger announcements and new games.
>>736792554Anon....
>>736792996there is no entry in the actual database
>>736787046They’re aren’t phasing out directs. They just had one for Tomodachi. You people are incredibly retarded. Dumbfuck OP as well
>>736788678By all means, lay out these scummy implications!
>>736790174Spider-Man collab fucking confirmed
>>736793452Selling your data to third parties, essentially monetizing that app at the cost of your privacy. Using the data in order to build a profile on you in order to advertise to you better, an example I gave in a followup post is that with Sony's new dynamic pricing you could end up paying more money because the company knows you can afford it. They can also judge how interested you are in something based on how often you're looking up the game, it makes the desire sensor real.
>>736793731The data collection they can already do with their games and the game store? How often you’re looking up the game on the Nintendo news app that doesn’t have a search feature? “They could do this thing Sony is doing!” that they’ve been able to do this whole time and that Sony is doing without the music or news app? Come the fuck on lol
>>736789968Damn, I was hoping for some co-op
>>736793914Anon, what they can view on your phone isn't limited to what you do in the app. That's why you have all these companies trying to get you to download their phone apps with incentives like coupons and other promotions. That's why it's so lucrative, Nintendo can now spy on what you're doing off their platform. Nintendo Today's app permissions include access to your camera and GPS. Many apps also access your internet browsing data, contacts, and other online activity because there are third party tracking tools embedded in the SDK.
>>736794182>Nintendo Today’s app permissions include GPS and Camerayou’re such a retard, you should have just kept to the “phones are magic, all apps spy on you” thing instead of getting specific
>>736793350Tomodachi is one of the last games announced via a direct, so it keeps getting them.
>>736794445Anon, what the fuck do you think the app uses to do check ins at movie theaters for the Galaxy Movie? What is used to scan a QR code?
Calling it now. Base-building.
>>736794614Ah, so the danger is that it’ll have access to a photo of a QR code and where you saw a movie once, if you do the theater check in? What happened to your targeted discount point, that one had some potential if you kept digging!
>>736787046Hopefully the next Direct is a Fire Emblem direct, a Yoshi Direct and then a Rhythm Heaven one. If as many games as possible are revealed by the Nintendo Today App it should kill off those worthless direct announcement hyping youtube channels.
>>736787046I have Nintendo Today on my tablet and it works for me because I already use this device to shitpost and watch YouTube without ads.
>>736789902youtube reactions are literally free marketing though, is he retarded?
Cant have a straightforward discussion about anything here now. There's always going to be someone that barges into threads for things they don't like to preach about how the game or company is evil incarnate and make up a bunch of shit.
I wonder how different it’ll look since it’s been nearly a year
>>736795265The vast majority of youtube direct discourse for years now has been ragebait.Don't forget the original reason for directs was Iwata getting upset with mainstream game journalists only putting out negative takes about their announcements and getting in the way of communicating directly with their audience (hence why they are called directs in the first place). This is just a modern version of that but youtube content mills in place of mainstream gaming journalism.
>>736795265>youtube reactions are literally free marketing thoughThat's disputable because Youtubers tend to react largely to what's already popular.
>>736794445>>736794614https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/71536/~/unable-to-check-in-at-theater-with-nintendo-today%21-app-for-the-super-mario>Note: Theater check-in using the app requires use of your smart device's camera, GPS, and internet connection.Data harvesting via tools in the SDK is something most apps do and it's what you should expect to happen. It's pretty crazy that you're tech illiterate and using an iPhone while being a corporate apologist for Nintendo. You're embodying multiple stereotypes, you're an actual NPC lol.
>>736795754You think they can track all of your camera, GPS and internet usage if you use it to do theMario checkin? You calling others illiterate because you think Nintendo is the N in NSA is hilarious. It’s cute you abandoned so many other arguments, but you’re sticking with the app permissions one with thee huge Mario movie checkin asterisk
>>736795265Nintendo has a varied set of series and not all of them might be liked by the same person.Fire Emblem for example might not have any appeal to someone interested in Metroid.So if you have a big youtuber that loves one series and not the other, it's not so good if someone watches that youtuber to get a roundup of the direct and leaves with "this guy loves Nintendo but they hates Fire Emblem, so Fire Emblem must be a bad series"The fact people can't form their own opinion and just parrot what a youtuber say makes me think the impressionable dipshit wouldn't download the app anyway.
>>736794912They’ll turn into Nintendeen’s in the meantime before dying off entirely. Anything but play more than Mario and Zelda
>>736796268>Nintendeenrip
>>736796092You're moving the goalposts, you were wrong and now you're feigning retardation or are actually that retarded and don't understand how apps work. You're even making up hyperbole now to move the goalposts further. I thought this was PvP, I'm not interested in PvE against a NPC incapable of going off their script, sorry.
>>736796094They must hate that stupid blue muppet
>>736787002I disagree with all these footwear choices
>>736796465>They must hate that stupid blue muppetThey seemingly stopped sending him review copies quite early on in the Switch life when they realised what he was lol. Probably watched the videos of him going "Oh this is the first time I'm playing Kirby" (Star Allies), "This is the first time I'm playing Donkey Kong Country" (Tropical Freeze).
>So invested in youtube niggers they'd rather see directs dies than just ignore them and get angry at sloptubers posting bullshit What the fuck are you people? Directs were always fucking kino
>>736796426>drops the argument and pisses his pants with some shit analogy as he walks awaylmao
>>736796778I don't think anyone cares about youtube faggots, they're just explaining why Nintendo is backing off of doing general directs.
>>736796540literally how could anyone disagree with shiver's choices here
>>736796778It would be a nice bonus, but the only people thinking directs are dead are as stupid as those youtubers
>>736796778Directs aren't dead. It's just a good side effect of Nintendo adapting their strategy and revealing games in the App is that youtubers only watching directs to react to new game announcements as "content" are getting kicked to the curb.
>>736796778To be fair i think it's funny some people are genuine mindbroken by niggerdeen and arlo for some reason, i hope they grift more and we get a direct just for them
>>736792996comic violence and pressure to handle?
>>736797448They’re just lolcows, they’re far more mindbroken themselves
who is the target audience of a game where you just shoot ai enemies lol
squids are not for lewd
>>736796389QRD?What's going with that loser? lmao
>>736797617Since the dawn of time, young one.
>>736788678
>>736787002>First good exclusive of 2026It's so close bros
>>736797652fried.
A game where I get to be stranded alongside my celebrity crush?
>>736787002Yoshi is probably going to end up being peach showtime tier and Kino Heaven isn't popular enough so Raiders is probably their biggest game of the year, especially since they refuse to do directs, I'm excited now can't wait for shiver sex
>>736798178I hope the player character is still neo Agent 3 so Deep Cut can banter about how you mercilessly beat them up.
>>736798243duskbloods and tomodachi
>>736798243Never underestimate the Yoshi
>>736798369Pokopia, whatever comes in the holiday. That anon is unintelligent
>>736798369>>736798432Yeah, it's Pokopia, and it will be even if Star Fox, Nintendo Switch Sports 2 and the Ocarina of Time remake are real.
>yeah well Directs were always bad anywayThat's another one for the Nintendofag Sour Grapes list.>>736793350You know what he's talking about, faggot.
>had a Partner Showcase, Indie Direct, and dedicated Direct>but yeah, General Directs are dead and are never coming backlmao
>>736798561Generals aren’t disappearing either, retard
>famitsu faggots arguing about directs and youtubersCan't even discuss raiders in peace with you autistsPost hopes, dreams and fears for Raiders NOW that we know it's supposedly "scary and darker", got itself a +12 rating in Germany
>>736793350That's not what people mean and you know itWe've had partner showcases and indie worlds and single game directs but no general directs in ages, and the partner showcase was shit (although as always the jap one seemed a bit better even just counting games that were coming to the west)
>>736798830It's just going to be a DLC campaign that was cut from Splatoon 3 and turned into its own game without multiplayer.
>>736798830I hope it has some replayability. I love these games, and I want to pour a good amount of time into it. And I wanted co-op, but seems unlikely
>>736798956We had a general in september, you hysterical zoomer. It’s going to be okay, you’ll get your favorite advertisement delivery vehicle soon
>>736798830It's but a gut feeling. But I imagine it's a game where we'll head on out to look for resources. Then use said resources to build machines and buildings for our home base to improve our chances as we head into the wild. Improvements that you'll need, because you'll start out very weak. So it'll be more survival/dungeon crawler esque, than say, those extraction type games. And thus we'll have to fight both our limited resources, and the looming threats of enemies or environmental hazards, as we try to maximize the potential of each "run".
I WANT TO SEE MORE!
I hope it's just a straightforward OE type campaign, with a minimal amount of gimmick shit.
>>736799270Do we think the mech is autonomous, but empty in a way so that the player can jump in and assume control? Or is Shiver or Frye piloting it?
>>736799495OE was just a series of gimmick shit
>>736798830>HopesRelease soon, there's no game on this console bought it because of that raiders trailer and outside of DK and Air Riders it's been lacking in kino new stuff for meStill some customizationGood replayabilityGood loreGood difficulty>DreamLots of new gameplay mechanics that are going to be used for 4Some kind of multiplayerCallie is mentionned at least, but I wouldn't mind if it's 100% deep cut
>>736799495What would you consider "gimmick shit"?
>>736799658Gimmick as in base mechanic. OE was ultimately a fine tuned typical splatoon campaign.
>>736799658>complaining about ink in a splatoon game
>>736799146God forbid people want to see anymore games than what they've announced last year
>>736798830I know I'm wrong about this, but I've always imagined Inklings and other sea citizens as smaller than we think. Obviously not Pikmin small, but I figured they'd be three feet tall at most. Which is why I'd like a character like spoiler to appear as the final/secret boss.
>>736799986Seeing them bow won’t make them come out any sooner, retard
>>736800070But it does give me a good idea on whether or not I want to keep my Switch 2. Asshole.
>>736799590It'll be piloted by an animal companion that has not yet been revealed or shown. I wonder what kind of animal it would be though.
>>736800152You already own the console. The idea of buying it year one, selling it year 2 and possibly rebuying it after is absurd.
>>736800070No but it would help seeing what's coming up to know what to expect this year outside of Raiders and Duskblood, I don't get why it's so shocking people wants news for their consoles when Nintendo used to host like 3 general direct per years. Today drops are annoying when one 30 minute showcase for the first half of the year was great
>>736800152Just buy it when the games you want are out, you complete moron. We’ve known up through summer since September anyway. We’ll know the rest of the year soon. You have the brain of a developmentally disabled child
>>736800281>fuck you for having faith in Nintendo>also have faith in NintendoGetting a lot of mixed signals here. Your endgoal is really just me shutting the fuck up and not saying negative things about Nintendo, right?
>>736800152Dude, if you're genuinely thinking of selling your Switch 2, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, you are retarded.
>>736800456this is only of you are also actively asking for Nintendo news, btw
>>736800152The only news we get are from leakers now, should have announced those starfox and oot remakes instead of letting some rando reveal them all kek, at least I have something to look forward to now outside of raiders, getting one trailer every week on today is shit
>>736800310Tomodachi Life, Rhythm Heaven, Fire Emblem. We know what games are coming. They’ve been doing 1 release a month. Idiot
>>736800406No I'm saying you're a fickle idiot if you buy a console at launch and are ready to sell it because an announcement didn't come soon enough.If you did sell it and whatever game you were hoping for came a month later then it's your own money you've wasted when buying the console again.You already have the thing, why sell it at all if you're clearly waiting for something specific?
>>736787002This game seems like it's gonna be shit. Why would I want an entire game of just a Splatoon story mode? If they wanted to make big bucks they would release a standalone side order sequel with way more stage/enemy/weapon/ability variety
>>736796851Not him, but he's right, you lost badly, and your resort to ad hominem is telling.He's just right either way.
>>736800690Every big announcement in a direct is leaked nowadays. Today announcements are the ones that typically don’t leak, like the OP game
>>736800868>ad hominemlmao, thanks for the dunning kruger redditor perspective
>>736800798I'm not just looking for something specific. I'm looking to see the general direction Nintendo wants to take this new platform in, especially since all we've gotten so far are Switch 1 leftovers/carryovers (except for the fucking wheelchair game). I'm not just wary for "not getting one exact thing", I'm wary because this IS a more expensive platform, and most Switch 2 games WILL cost more. I want to see if they intend to make games befitting of that cost increase, or if they simply said "fuck it, Microsoft and Sony did it so why not us too?".
>>736800835>This game seems like it's gonna be shit.People have said this about everything Splatoon, ever. And they've always been wrong. Every time.
>>736801179>Splatoon story mode is meh>Raiders is just story mode>Raiders is gonna be mehThey should just pander more to roguelite gods. Side order was a disappointment but it's got good bones.
>>736801305>Splatoon story mode is mehOcto Expansion was the best of Splatoon.
>>736787002uh theyre making a splatoon extraction shooter?
>>736801305to be fair, splatoon is a multiplayer franchise so it makes sense that all the games with multiplayer have had shit singleplayerraiders could be really fucking good
>>736801305The Storymode in 3 is cool. And Octo Expansion is especially cool. And Side Order is also cool. That track record outweighs Splatoon 1's and Splatoon 2's basegame storymodes not being all that.
>>736801437Maybe. We know literally nothing about the gameplay.
>>736801161Every generation since the Wii had some cross-platform carryovers in the first year.As far as direction and cost. It's a games console in 2026. Everything unfortunately costs more but you're the one that chose to get one at launch, the time when they are traditionally at their most expensive (ignoring whatever Sony is doing right now). Whatever alternative you find will also be expensive.It doesn't invalidate the previous point by changing waiting on a single title to multiple. You got the console wanting something before it was announced and instead of waiting for that announcement, you're prepared to drop it entirely.
>>736798178It's amazing how Frye is my wife
>>736801497>>736801340OE has a few good stages but it can't carry the whole thing. 3 was just OE but worse
>>736801568Your post really is the "fuck you for having faith but also just have faith" bit I did earlier, jesus christ.>It doesn't invalidate the previous point by changing waiting on a single title to multiple.It entirely does, but nice fucking goalpost move. Also, what I was getting at is that I want to see the kind of design philosophies Nintendo is going with for future games, especially as they start to get into games actually designed FOR the Switch 2. Why is this so hideously unreasonable? Why is it so hideously unreasonable to expect a news cycle comparable to the Switch 1 era?
Splat4 will give us an Octo based on this beautiful thing, right? Look at it!
>>736801161None of the Switch 2 exclusives so far could have been done on the original Switch except for DxD lol.
>>736802005especially at 60fps
>>736802005They literally started development on the fucking Switch 1 or use Switch 1 assets.
>>736801918that isn’t what he’s saying at all, quit being illiterate. He’s pointing out how stupid you were to buy it in the first place, if you need to see some magical $10 quality increase in a slate of promotional material to justify your purchase. The Switch 1 was coasting on Wii U scraps for much more of its life, retard. “actually designed for Switch 2” as if consoles generations have perceptible meaning beyond a graphics bump and exclusivity
>>736802246Just like any other console?
>>736802254>The Switch 1 was coasting on Wii U scraps for much more of its life, retardYou know, that's just a little more understandable when the WiiU sold 14 million consoles and only had a lifespan of four fucking years.
>>736801918Do you believe that current exclusives were for Switch 1 but just released as switch 2 exclusives because the older console wouldn't be able to run it or just because just needed exclusive games?
>>736802443Yet you’re citing it as an example of a satisfactory news cycle. Why’d you ignore the rest of my post, retard?
finally a second good exclusive
>>736802474>just because just needed exclusive games?Definitely this much more so.
>>736802665>he thinks the Switch 1 could have ran those games with the same performance and visualsI knew you were retarded but it's nice getting the admission.
>>736802650DK was kino. Mario Kart too, but you spergs aren’t ready to admit that. And Pokopia is great if you have a bit of woman brain
>>736802643>Yet you’re citing it as an example of a satisfactory news cycle.Because... They showed off new releases coming to the Switch 1 on a fairly regular basis.>Why’d you ignore the rest of my post, retard?Because it was just more pissypants temper tantruming over me suggesting that things could be better for the Switch 2 era.
>>736795265Seems likes the right call to me.
>>736802782>pretending to be elitist about resolution and framerate after 8 years of defending shit like Xenoblade 2 dipping down to 360fps and TotK dipping to 15fpsNo, actually. You don't get to play that card.
>>736802792>DKdogshit>MKWundercooked>Pokopiapokeslop slopcraft animal slopping
>>736802867*360pThanks, autocorrect.
>>736802246That's how most exclusives released early in a console's lifespan start off
>>736802867You get upset when the console is capable of running games with better visuals and stable performance.Surely if you owned the Switch 2 as you claim, then it's another reason to keep it instead of that seeming desperation to let it go.
>splatoon thread gets overriden by direct hypebeastssame thing happened with rhythm heaven, fuck all of you
>>736802801We know of 5 worth months of exclusives slated for the rest of the year, retard.>being unable to define what this generational shift should be is my faultcute cope
>Took 1 year to get any news for Rythm Heaven>Took way too long to get anything for Raiders/fire emblem (and it's just a pegi rating)All of these would have been fixed with a direct in february or march, I genuinely don't get what the famitsusisters are angry about, yeah directs are way nicer than looking at the phone app. There's no reason why tomodachi alone got a direct outside of wanting to dripfeed people. The fact most of the reaction to Raiders ""news"" is "FUCKING FINALLY" and the state of the thread is telling imo
>>736802782lol imagine the Switch 1 running the final boss fight of Bananza or the portals in Air Riders.You can't tell these guys haven't even played those games.
>>736802906you have shit taste and a underdeveloped brain. Sad!
>>736803032This only tells me that people care more about directs than games themselves. A sentiment that has been proven since time.
>>736802474>>736802665Eh? I mean games like Bananza, Age of Imprisonment, Air Riders, and Pokopia would all make the original Switch explode. And I mean. DQB1 and DQB2 practically had the NS1 on fire, and those games still had far less on screen than Pokopia does. Age of Calamity was also pushing the NS1 to its limits, and had far, far less on-screen than Age of Imprisonment. Granted that there are alpha pictures of Bananza running on the NS1 from its pre-production phase. But it's no wonder why it was effectively shelved until the NS2 because there is absolutely no way the NS1 would have been able to run anything even remotely resembling what Bananza actually does mechanically with its voxel-terrain and destruction stuff. And one can only imagine how gimped Air Riders on the NS1 would have been. I mean as cool as the original Air Ride is, the NS1 would not have been able to handle the scope of Air Riders. Maybe Tomodachi Life could have been feasible on the NS1? Is that like it? NS2 exclusives broadly don't seem to have been feasible for the NS1 at all.
hopefully this game bring him back to drawing squids pooping
>>736802998This, the first two good games since Air riders and people are like this, their brains are too fucked up by consolewars to actually discuss the gamesLuckily for me my brain is filled with Shiver sex
>>736787002I figured it out. Raiders. Loot. You loot and scavenge. I fear its an extraction shooter.
>>736803032It’s telling of the state of you retards that you are more about when and how you get your ads than the games themselves
>>736803181>extraction shooter>single player (given the PEGI rating does mention online)How dire.
>>736803104bananza is objectively a bad game
>>736803146>Maybe Tomodachi Life could have been feasible on the NS1? Is that like it?You're not going to believe this, but Tomodachi is a Switch release. Rhythm heaven too.
>>736803275Isn’t that just a roguelike?
>>736802995>Surely if you owned the Switch 2 as you claimFeel free to kiss my ass at your earliest convenience.>>736803145>>736803192You guys only pretend to hate Directs when they're bought up in the context of criticizing Nintendo.
>>736803383I’m sure someone will care and agree with you if you eventually. Good luck
>>736803512>pretend to hate directssorry, you must have diminished mental faculties. You seem to have (you)’d me while implying my post at all related to your claim. Please refrain from doing so, as I don’t care to be associated with the mentally handicapped, such as yourself. Thank you for your attention to this matter
>>736803550its movement feels almost as bad as pragmata's
>>736803698You must be as bad at the game as you are at comparisons, my condolences to your family for being blighted with such a stupid relative
>>736802650Mario Kart shits on it.>>736802792DK was Odysseyshit. Good if you liked that
>>736803192>Wanting to play and see a game they announced almost a year ago is caring more about announcementSure buddy, I know it's your favorite argument but come on>>736803145All the stuff I mentionned is shit they've dripfed us, just have the Tomodachi direct shortened up and reuse the Rythm heaven and yoshi trailer for Today and the more than likely upcoming raiders trailer that's going to be dulmped into the app in a few weeks and add them to a normal direct to catch everyone up mid februrary, that's it. The Today formula is a downgrade in every way for fans
>>736803032>I genuinely don't get what the famitsusisters are angry aboutWhatever Nintendo does at a given moment is the best thing ever. If they're backing off Directs, well, that must mean they've always been horrible anyway and that people who want them are just evil goblins out to bankrupt poor Nintendo.
>>736803835>playanon, I’m sorry to tell you this, but even when your caretaker puts the controller in your hands as you watch the direct, you’re not actually playing the game yet
>>736803698How do you even make that comparison or miss out on the movement capabilities in DK. Honestly the only answer is that you didn't play either.The only similarity between the games is the girl on your back. They don't share any genres at all.
>>736803512As if /v/ hasn't called every direct dogshit for the past 5 years
Raiders probably won't have any Salmon Run either, but I am curious if they'll try out new mechanics for it to add in Splatoon 4.
>>736803423>You're not going to believe this, but Tomodachi is a Switch release. Rhythm heaven too.Oh. That makes sense then. Felt like it could run on the NS1. But the others? I can't imagine them on the NS1. So their NS2 exclusivity just seem to make sense.
>>736803810>>736803979you know how super mario world has good jumping and babby's first flash game from 2002 has bad jumping? that's the way bananza has bad movement
>>736803835>just have the Tomodachi direct shortened upHorrible idea, considering the direct being formatted like a sitcom is what had massive marketing appeal, and even created it's own fandom.
>>736803998Yes. For everything that exists, there will also exist people who say they don't like it. Are you really trying to say DIRECTS are bad because of what an Albanian bead art forum has to say about the matter? You can't piss and moan about MUH FAKE HYPE CULTURE around Directs and then crap on them purely for what /v/ (who we all know is one person) thinks.
>>736804181The clue that you're full of shit is how you think movement is only jumping, but also can't articulate what it is that apparently make it bad.
>>736787441If it has online similar to Deamon X Machina Titanic Scion that'd be cool. Don't really care for arch raiders/etc though.
>>736803512>You guys only pretend to hate Directs when they're bought up in the context of criticizing Nintendo.It's very obvious that's the case, it's just the new thing to defend against because people are getting antsy after 8 months with no new game announcements.
>>736803998>/v/ saidI hate failed youtubers trying to damage control their shitty life failure there
Just wait for it to be a Game Key Cart
>>736790174>Europeans need warning about spidersohnonono
>>736804461no inertia, buggy wallclimbing, inconsistent state transition logic between running and wallclimbingit feels like a unity fangame
>>736804705Why would it be?
>>736804304That's not the only reason>niche games like rhythm heaven getting buried in favor of hype beast fodder(the only time that this was done well was when we had big push of pikmin games)>directs that get composed of general bullshit(the last general and the farmers direct in 2022))And for the direct, I get caught in direct hype too. Only after the fact do I feel empty, knowing the aftermath is always the worst shit.
>>736804557What's there to dislike about it lol, we've been getting one big game per month and the first half of the year is the weak one
>>736804205Tumblrfaggots are not a customerbase who buy games. Yea you lose that “fandom”, but they weren’t gonna buy it in the first place
I love Directs. I loved old E3 of everything being concentrated to a specific weekend. I'm not terribly fond of drip feeding spread across the entire year in unpredictable and sudden manners. That said. I feel like it's a bit much to be up in arms or to be genuinely angry or upset about the potential shift away from Directs. But I suppose we'll need to see how big the "E3"-Direct will be at least. But I mean. As much as I loved the Directs. They were just advertisements in the end. I feel like I would struggle to actually feel upset because of their absence or presence one way or the other. Of course. Youtubers make a really big deal out of it since their easy cashflow is tied to it.
>>736787002do we still not know a damn thing about it?
>>736804857When it's games like Tomodachi? Yes, yes they will. Especially with the sims being so dogshit.
>>736804929Not even the genre. I hope it's fun though.
>>736803998Nintendo as a ton of different series. A lot of people are looking for one or two games out of the 30 that could turn up.Two people could like a direct for different reasons whilst others could hate it because their single interest didn't turn up or simply because it's Nintendo, regardless of the games featured.>>736804705I don't think any first party games have been those.
Considering how people reacted to the last direct, I think it'd be best if they sticked to one big direct per year.But hey, I guess some people really need their dopamine dose.
>>736801161The first year of Switch 1 games was almost entirely WiiU carryovers except for Arms, Xenoblade 2 and fucking Fire Emblem Warriors (I'm not giving you Splatoon 2). And the big release for year 2 was basically Special Edition of Smash 4 WiiU.In the end the jokes on me though, since I bought a Wii U
>>736804742Never seen anyone call the wall climbing buggy. You really do just make things up and hope people blindly accept it.
>>736804796>almost all the previously announced games are released or will be releasing soon>splat raiders might release as soon as july, leaving only FE and duskbloodsPeople want to know what they can look forward to for the next 8 months. The usual suspects aren't going to get excited over Fire Emblem or a third party Fromsoft game either. I will though..
So, people are mad that other people are mad at Nintendo for revealing a game 9 months ago and not actually telling us a single real thing about said game for those 9 months and the only real update is from a Ratings Board?
>>736805225moreso mad that games that actually get updated are just vehicles to talk about directs, and not the game itself
3 looks really good in 4k. Excited yo see how nice Raiders looks. This franchise benefits a lot from higher res
>>736805225No, are you illiterate? People are upset that they may learn more about this game through an individual trailer rather than it being in a direct. Just read op and the first reply
>>736803962Thanks for the heads up, always confuse directs with playstation showcases! Even then, at least I would know what the game is like and know when I can play it, which is what I care about since it's been 10 months! (And we would also get more shiver and frye porn!). Fans of series actually get impatient yes, that's a good sign they care! 10 month is really long for Nintendo>>736804205I can concede I fogot a big chunk of it but I'm not the audiance at all so idk>>736804904This, it's not the end of the world but it's fucking annoying they're just doing semi-weekly drop instead of a big 30 minute video every 4 months and done. It's not that they have nothing, they do, but I don't want to check my phone every fucking day of the week. And yes hype culture is fun, I liked meeting up off with friends to drink beers and watch a direct and play mario kart not knowing what to expect
>>736798243Yoshi will do fine, and if you really think Nintendo has no more games to show you are a fool.>>736798178Raiders really improved Fyre's design.>>736797652got completely humiliated on twitter then made a cope video or two.He's pretty much done at this point.
I hope we can swap out parts on.....what this is supposed to be. Is it related to the Crab Tank?
>>736798830>random unprompted famitsu seethekill yourself nigger.
>>736805546>tendiecultist seething that he was called outYou'll survive.
>>736805483If it's not the way of going to and from missions, I could also picture it as an equivalent to the Deep Rock mule.
>>736800406You come off as a completely dishonest troll, just fyi.So kill yourself.May I remindd you that PM Orogami King was announced like 2-3 months before release.Same for Xenoblade X DE. Among various others.And most Switch titles got announced 3-6 months before release.If you are stupid enough to think no games are coming after Raiders and Duskbloods your IQ is either under 60, or you are just concern trolling.
>>736805396yeah because today is shit and directs are superior in every single way
>>736804790>>niche games like rhythm heaven getting buried in favor of hype beast fodderI hate to break it to you, anon, but Groove was announced IN a Direct. You're just being resentful over not as many people being excited for it as other franchises and blame Directs/those other franchises for it, when the real problem is Nintendo going ghost on it for a year and then just casually dropping nuggets about it just a couple months before release.>directs that get composed of general bullshit(the last general and the farmers direct in 2022)) Well yeah, but I'd like to get a good idea if they only have dogshit in the pipeline for the foreseeable future and not have the truth dripfed gradually.
>>736805113>jump onto a nearly completely flat rock wall>camera facing the wall>hold left stick to the right>DK climbs right for 1 second>keep holding right>DK's movement direction starts vibrating back and forth at 60hz>keep holding right>DK starts moving left>keep holding right>DK keeps moving left>keep holding right>DK eventually falls off the wall>mfw>instantly uninstall the demowow excellent work Team Odyssey what a great followup to a platformer with some of the best 3D movement in the entire medium
Everytime I see the new design for Frye, I'm reminded of the time supposed 'artists' on Twitter attacked a jap artist for drawing her with a desaturated colour palette while shrieking that their over saturated dark skin edits were the better version and that they knew colour theory and art
>>736801568>>736802254>>736802474You fags are arguing with a veery blatant troll.The whole 'switch2 releases are just switch1 leftovers....except drag x drive' should have made it painfully obvious.please don't feed the trolls. they'll bunker down in splatoon threads forever and ruin them. Stop engaging him.
>>736805724I'm definitely willing to put money on there being some underwater levels with this vehicle.I'm already scared.
>>736805846It happens a lot on xitter, they once harassed an artist and Marina's VA for liking a fanart where Marina was "not dark enough" lol
>>736802792>And Pokopia is great if you have a bit of woman brain>homesteading and civilization building...is totes heckin wahmen workplease kill this faggot meme. you tard.These are inherently masculine jobs.
>>736805846>>736806026I remember when Twitter and the Splatoon subreddit had convinced themselves Shiver was non-binary and how mad they got when a very confused Nintendo had to tell them that Shiver was in fact, a girl.
>>736805785Congrats on learning how to read! Maybe read a but more before sharing your stupid opinion on advertisement methods instead of talking about games
>>736806037no, he's right. it removes the hunting aspect from dqb2 and leaves only the gathering aspect(and removes the male fantasy of protecting your town). it's dqb for girls.
>>736806037>These are inherently masculine jobs.Not that anon. And I unironically agree. But at the same time Pokopia has a lot of advanced doll-house stuff too. So my conclusion? Pokopia appeals to both men and women. And the only reason some men struggle to admit it is because the game has a rather cutesy aesthetic (even if the world as presented is very rough and broken, expecting you to fix it).
>>736806026It's ironic because >Marina isn't black, she's an Octoling >Octopi can change their skin colour irl so it's entirely aesthetic for Octolings
Today is a really bad alternative to directs. I don't fucking care if some of you are obsessed with grifting e-celebs, they're kino and needs to come back, no march direct is sad. Yes I like being excited for a direct and making bingos >>736805938>Gets to go underwater>Find some sort of entrance>It's a Salmonid city>You don't have salmon run gears so if they catch you it's game over >Thanks to the mech they can't really smell you, but if they go near the mech they willKino
>>736806187I remember that. It was because of her design and they just latched onto it and tried demanding(threatening,) Nintendo to make it canon, only to be given a hardy NO
>>736806196What about the male fantast of making an empire? The male fantasy isn't just violence and guardian instincts, ya know.
>>736805835I like the little skit you wrote about how stupid you are!! :)
>>736806459i'm sorry to hear about your shit taste but you seem to be coping well with it
Say what you will, but these two dummies will always be the best... And it's weird as shit that the duo that got blasted in the GrandFest get a spin-off game.
>>736806191>Read a butaha! I wish i could read Frye's butt!>sharing your stupid opinion on advertisement methods instead of talking about gamesDirects aren't stupid! But no thanks I'd rather discuss games and especially play them, would need a direct for that though. Just won a x100 for rabbits btw
>>736804557So that's a new one for the list then.>dungeons and secondary items and lock-and-key design were always bad anyway.>the National Dex was always bad anyway.>multiple towns on one system was always bad anyway.>the skimpy designs were always bad anyway.>analog triggers were always bad anyway.>lapped races were always bad anyway.>Rare-era DK was always bad anyway.>QR Mii sharing and Miitopia's editor were always bad anyway.And now>Nintendo Directs were always bad anyway.
wasn't the last direct total dogshit
>>736806585Game is definetely a scrapped DLC for 3. But the best idols will probably have a role in Sp4. Depends on what past means, I'd like a more "traditional" style so we could finally see Calamari County
>>736806037I was kidding, you autist, but it’s making a bunch of fake little homes for cute creatures. Don’t be so insecure about your masculinity, or lack there of
>>736806439i mean compare it to a literal game about making an empire like unicorn overlord or any of the autistic pc games that will involve conquest and it doesn't hit the same notes at all. like pokopia is objectively targeted more towards women, that doesn't mean guys can't enjoy it or that it's only for women but dqb2 is def more targeted towards men and they're very similar games since it's the same dev team.
>>736806596>rabbitsGet off my team, ad loyalist shitter
>>736806585deep cut is kinda mid but only because big man is such a nothing inoffensive straightman characteri'm very happy to have a spinoff game with my dumb flat wife shiver
>>736806439>making an empire without violencelmao?
>>736806969>>736806831then what would you call those map games that have no violence in them
>>736806878Big man isn’t just a straight man, he’s a total doormat ever since Big Betrayal, which is a funny dynamic
>>736806860>ad loyalist for liking directsMade me laugh bless you anon
>>736806878It doesn't help that the best interactions with Deep Cut were their rivalry with the Squid Sisters and that Big Man has been working behind Frye and Shiver's back.Outside of that, there's not much going on besides Deep Cut's Treasure Hunting, which that game never really dives into, but I guess Splatoon Raiders will.
>>736807031are you talking about city builders and factorio and the like? that's a different autistic genre where you have to micromanage a lot of different moving parts, pokopia is neko atsume+minecraft but with the combat removed, there's no great autism filter like the city builders, in fact pokopia is extremely accessible.
>>736807317yeah factorio
The fact that the Mechanic is an Inkling that learned how to pilot and repair a helicopter might make them the smartest Inkling we've met yet.
I wonder if this title will act as a “bridge” between the eras of Splatoon or just a final epilogue for the first one
>>736787534Captain... sexy....
>>736807456I can only imagine that the mech suit we've seen was built by them too. And presumably from scraps.
>>736807761I think it'll establish the new Antagonists. Because the Octolings SHOULD no longer be up to any more shenanigans after the events of Splatoon 3. So, it's either the Salmonids or someone new.
>>736808094I wonder if they’ll follow up on the threads about squid jesus, the crab ceo and the felon
The neat thing about Directs was that Nintendo would feel compelled to provide updates on previously announced upcoming titles in them, even if it were simple as "please continue to look forward to this game."Even something like that is a damn sight better than dead silence on a game we don't even know the genre of that's going to be releasing soon.
Maybe some would find it cliche. But I think I'd dig some "illuminati"-esque cult of human-worshippers to act as antagonists. And they wouldn't need to be tied to any one specific species, but could be unified through their admiration towards the lost humans, while trying to recreate their lost arts.
>>736808947>we don't even know the genre ofit's splatoon anon, it's going to be a tps
I know who the Big Bad of Splatoon Raiders is going to be.
>>736808947Directs don’t change release dates. You’ll find out in advance of that, so it doesn’t really make a difference, aside from how much there is to talk about in threads like this
>>736809190I'm not expecting it whatsoever. But I'd love for Raiders to have even more cardgames.
>>736787441Bro we already have salmon run
>>736808947The only things I'd want to get rid of or reduce in Directs are>the fact that there's always one or two games that each get a 5+ minute segment, wildly overstaying their welcome unless you're a superfan of that series and literally nothing else>straining themselves to make incredibly generic/forgettable third-party games sound the slightest bit interesting (especially run of the mill slop JRPGs, holy shit nothing makes my eyes glaze over faster than the Direct narrator suddenly getting all fucking monotone and serious, trying for the five hundredth time to make universal JRPG mechanics and plot tropes sound novel for an entire minute or two)
>>736787046No, it's based. The eceleb reaction culture has been detrimental to their PR lately. (They're always sperging out about 'general' Nintendo Directs now because they know no one cares about third party or indie games) Shifting over to Nintendo Today and putting an end to that is based.
>736809782yes sweetie we saw you post this the first time earlier
>>736809268You cultist’s need to defend Nintendo is concerning.
>>736809782>I like less information because people say bad things about my favorite multibillion dollar company otherwise Insane lmao
>>736809268Have you considered that it's nice to have things to talk about in threads like this?
>>736809629>bro why do we need ranked modes? We already have multiplayer vs with turf war!
>>736809782Yeah, now people don't hear about third party or indie games at all! They sure aren't in the Nintendo Today app, and the General Direct audience does not fully overlap with the partner/indie showcase audience.
I just know if I wait until Splatoon Raiders comes out first before buying a Switch 2, Nintendo will have hiked up the price by then.
>>736810514He’s a tendie. Defending Nintendo is more important than them making games for him.
>>736809629>she doesn't want salmon run 3 while we wait for salmon run 4 in splatoon 4
>>736810514I’ve considered that and been proven wrong at every turn
>>736806654lol
It's kinda funny that so much fan art is of Inklings and Octolings hanging out near water and we have to keep reminding ourselves that so much water is instantly lethal to Inklings and Octolings.
>>736802861Yeah Harman Smith has been talking about this for a long time. These guys spend months and months begging for a Direct and then always inevitably are disappointed by it.
This all folds back into Nintendo's current "you can only have fun in the precise way we dictate" ideology
>>736811486I'm still mad from when they patched out that item dupe glitch in Tears of the Kingdom.
>>736798830I just want a single player splatoon game that last at least 30 hours. Don't care if it's linear or open world though I would like it if it's similar to metal arms campaign recently replayed metal arms and it's still as good as I remembered https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8weXiYm0LA
>>736811486>current
>>736811281It's because they are only looking for Mario, Smash, Zelda, or Animal Crossing(when better ac was already in the direct)
>>736811240And didn't Callie and Marie say modeled for swimwear?
New Fishing Minigame?
>it's literally been over half a year since the last real direct>creeping up on a year since Raiders announcementI knew things were suspect when we didn't get one all February but wow, this is fucking dire. At least with Side Order, there was other stuff happening in the meanwhile. Why are they like this, man. People just wanna know. They could at least put out good renders of Shiver so people can ogle her.Also, springfest has been a fucking nightmare so far.>>736805483We better get some underwater spooky shit in that thing.
>>736811762How dare they?
I know we just had two back to back rounds of “possession” goo, but it would be cool if the new antagonist had a bunch of different sea creatures under its control. And I think it’d have to be a control mechanism, cause I don’t think Nintendo would let us kill a whole army of sentient creatures that aren’t goomba-ish. But yeah, seeing all the different creatures splatoonified is so fun, I’d like to see them be given gameplay mechanics too
>>736812126It's that Splatoon x Subnautica crossover I've always had nightmares about.
>>736795571Game Journos still seethe about that btw which is why you still see lingering anti-Nintendo bias in certain publications
>>736812126What team are you on?>>736812147Nta, but if you only play the big name games, you have to understand you only get one or two a year. Making a sloptent living off of pretending to be excited for these things is very stupid and should be looked down upon
>>736812372Western Game Journalists just hate Eastern Developers and Publishers as a whole.
>People are STILL trying to convince others to stop wanting directs Grim, fuck you nintendo for making us wait and dripfeeding us >>736807761Definetely bridge, I can see them introduce the new bad. I'd bet on salmonids and the sea at large being the focus. It's always been a big theme and 3 had some weird stuff with the 3 lights from the sea saving the world and stuff.I hope it is salmonids because the fear pegi could be kino with them
my bet is mainly subnautica with more shooting, and the joke is that the squids need to wear heavy full covering suits to go to the beach
>>736812552No one cares about people wanting directs, crying about them when the game output hasn’t slowed is what is stupid
>>736812552There's a Salmonid Queen somewhere and I want to shoot that bitch in the face before the Salmonids invade again.
>>736812227To date, I have not played Subnautica. Probably should.>>736812445DA BEARS
>>736812126>Also, springfest has been a fucking nightmare so far.Glad I'm not the only one hating this splatfest If tricolors is cancer like turf then I'll just stop playing altogether and play smash or mario kart instead
>>736812678Subnautica 1 is fun, but the game doesn't like you trying to solve problems with violence like Splatoon does.Subnautica Below Zero sucks.
>It's been almost a year without newsFucking finally. They better not drop it on that shitty mobile app and make a proper direct, with the stuff Nate leaked and Fire emblem also getting rated there's no excuse anymore also Frye sex
>>736812941>They better not drop it on that shitty mobile app and make a proper directlmao
>>736812702To be fair, I was mostly dealing with randos since everyone else was already asleep. But it's still been terrible.>>736812767Isn't it like an exploration kind of game? I didn't think combat was even a focus of it.
>>736813012i hate these retards like you wouldn't believe
>>736787002>Not Pegi 18Wtf what about my sex scenes?
>>736813024It's not, but people found a way.The game has non-lethal weapons like the Stasis Rifle and the Vortex Torpedoes, but players use the Stasis Rifle to freeze enemies in place before stabbing them to death and that the later Underwater Mech Suit can use a grappling hook to attach to a creature's face so you can punch it.
What's in the eye of the storm?
>>736787534Interesting
>>736813373Date of the next direct
>>736813373Treasure.Cute Sea Creatures that like Inkling Boys.Probably another out of control Machine from the Age of Humanity.
Why are snoys so invested in getting a direct?
>>736813373A really big Salmon Run egg

>>736796918Why is she wearing socks in a fucking tropical setting? Frye too for that matter.

>>736813312>Underwater Mech Suit can use a grappling hook to attach to a creature's face so you can punch it.Even if it isn't the point of that game, that sounds very amusing and fun to mess around with.>>736813373Bananas.

>>736813696Because thigh highs are hot as fuckNintendo are retards but they can design some good sluts
>>736813531There it is, I knew this schizophrenic autism would rear its ugly head soon enough.>>736813678It's refreshing whenever I see fans like you call these diehard zealots out.
>>736813853Given all the Doomsday imagery with Salmonids and the Sunken Sea Scrolls, Hugefry might be what destroyed Inkling Cities in the past.This might be the Salmonid God.
>>736813995>It's refreshing whenever I see fans like you call these diehard zealots out.I used to be a famitsufag but once I saw them going off the deep end I left so it sucks seeing them infect every nintendo thread with their schizo behavior
Splatoon Raiders > GTA6
>>736813995don't worry anon, I don't think any actual regular nintendo threads on /v/ take them seriously or like them>>736814689I have high hopes for the games, Nogami is as much as a splatoon as us and the rating means they're working hard, I just hope it's not rushed like 3 and it will be kino, GTA can't compete with squids
How do I play splatoon with/v/?
I have a feeling the next reveal trailer will change the name to "Splatoon 4: Raiders" and while the single player and co-op modes will be the new experiment they were doing with raiders it'll have a traditional multiplayer That would line up with the delay and radio silence, if they wanted to get a multiplayer splatoon out sooner than later
>Shiver and Frye love every minute of this, but the Mechanic just wants to go home because they were not payed enough for this mission.
>>736815069that would be so fucking kino

>>736787046>Trying to phase out Directs for they gay fucking appthey aren't phasing out directs, you're fucking retarded, directs are even available through the app/it allows you to notify you of themyou guys act like we were getting general directs every other month, in reality we got 2-3 year, we'll probably get two this year in june and september, the nintendo today drops are just equivalent of their social trailers/videos, just available a little earlier for the appyou spastics have the memory of a goldfish and lose it whenever there's a period without a general direct, year after year after year it's "DIRECTS ARE DEAD WHY DID NINTENDO KILL THEM"

>>736815627>Would multiplayer fans rather the $70 digital $80 physical full splatoon experience with multiplayer and the cool single player + co-op modes>Ir the $50/$60 single player and co-op thing while waiting 2 or 3 more years for a proper splatoon 4 multiplayer while Splatoon 3 continues to bleed players (and with zero events going on)It will have been 4 yearsIt's time
>>736815069>I have a feeling the next reveal trailer will change the name to "Splatoon 4: Raiders"dude no, they wouldn't prominently pull this in the trailer if it was just 4
>>736816107they would if it turned into the replacement campaign after they put the trailer out
>>736816107Trailer was probably being made before they realized how successful the switch 2 was, especially in Japan. They also need some hit games this year after pokopia besides Fire Emblem and (probably) the OoT remake.A proper new Splatoon saturates the Japanese market nicely before pokemon next year
>>736816321>how successful the switch 2 was, especially in JapanThat just means they're already working real hard on an actual Splatoon 4. Even if Raiders will release first.
>>736792056I mean you're correct, but are they as trash as Sony's?
>>736815421I can't believe someone still has this saved
>>736816687it's better than having to tell someone step by step
>>736816204>>736816321I really don't think you understand how much of an undertaking making and balancing pvp is, it's not just something they can throw in willy nilly in under a year, 3's was planned from the start of its development, and even then it came out rough, if they just rammed one in raiders within the final year of dev it would come out a disaster
>>736816321I'd rather they not rush another Splatoon just for the sake of having it out after how bad Splatoon 3's update cycle went.
>>736817003they were very obviously already developing splat4 long before raiders was announced, i'm saying they might have decided "fuck it, scrap what we've got for 4's campaign and replace it with this"
>>736817105There’s no incentive to do that, and no basis for it as speculation. It’s a dumb thought
>>736817167>There’s no incentive to do thatsure there is, the economy is tight for everyone and they might want to maximise the market for one game instead of stretching the fanbase's light wallets and their developers' time and effort across two games"splatoon 4 but the campaign is actually good for once" is a pretty strong selling point for people who aren't into multiplayer
>>736799590It reminds me of the MULE from Deep Rock Galactic. I don't know if it'll function in any way like it, though.
>>736816107It's so much more likely they split the series into multiplayer focused and spinoff single player titles.The singleplayer was always nice to have, and i'd still get them, but I imagine there's a point where a team want's to give their full focus considering it's shot into being one of their most popular series.
>>736787002ok but what kind of game is it
>>736799590maybe the Mechanic gets their own Little Buddy salmonid pal and he pilots the mech whenever the Mechanic isn't insidemaybe you get to give him FF12 Gambit-style command lists to have some light control over how he pilots it
>>736817298The campaign was good in 3, and they’ve been selling “good campaign” dlc. Now they can charge full game price. You’re dumb for latching onto this stupid idea so tightly, and the discussion is worthless. Let it go
>>736788678When people use the term "companies harvesting data". What does that actually mean? Do they want you to visit a site so they money from the ads placed on the side bar? I just don't understand what it means.
Fucking evil cephalopods trying to rape me.
>>736817716>The campaign was good in 3it was the first time the campaign was anything aside from a waste of time, but it was not "good"why are you so mad lol
>>736817105>i'm sayingmostly nonsense, timmy.
>>736817876Na, it was good. And I’m not mad, you’re just clinging onto a stupid idea for dear life. Kinda forced to be blunt when you’re talking to someone stubborn and stupid
>>736817716>they’ve been selling “good campaign” dlcThey did it once, Side Order was garbage.
>>736818065i just think it's neat
>>736787002Don’t care about this gay ass tranny franchise. Splatoon has been gay as fuck from the get go lol
>>736818078Disagree, your taste is shit. Doesn’t change the point about the monetary incentives at play. Also put it in quotes, so sneed yourself, you incorrigible autist
>>736811731Metal Arms is fucking incredible.
>>736818140And that’s fine, but it’s incredibly unlikely. There’s no reason to pretend otherwise. If you like the concept, just talk about that
>>736818347>If you like the concept, just talk about thatthat's what i was doing faggot
>>736817762they take your personal info and browsing habits and then sell it to data brokers or use it to build a profile on you so they can shill things to you. some tracking cookies report what other sites you visit back to the site you got the cookie from, so if you visit site A, the cookie reports back to site A that you went to site B and it knows which links you clicked there and it can even track what purchases you made. apps can do the same thing and data brokers will buy up all this info on you and put it into 1 neat little file. that includes browsing history, online shopping, social media, and public records to build accurate pictures of your habits, interests, and personal information because your devices(especially your phone) have unique advertising ids and your pc browser will have a fingerprint that it makes it obvious who you are.
>>736818473No you aren’t, you’re arguing like a retard about how it’s possible. Playing pretend and arguing that your delusions are real are distinctly different, and it’s bot hard to grasp, you idiot
>>736818605>this would be neat>IT'S IMPOSSIBLE STOP TALKING ABOUT IT>no it's not, here's why it's not impossible>STOP TALKING ABOUT IT, AND ALSO YOU'RE DUMB>no>NOBODY'S STOPPING YOU FROM TALKING ABOUT IT WHY WON'T YOU JUST TALK ABOUT IT INSTEAD
>>736818332yes it is anon yes it is
>>736802665>>736803146I think the only SW2 exclusive release that definitively looks like it could've ran on SW1 without issues is the new Yoshi game.
>>736818757>”this would be neat”>in reality: so my theory is that this is happening, and here’s why!And I only started responding after other people tried to explain how delusional your idea was and you dug your heels in
>>736819025but it's happening
>>736813373Better question, did they seriously confirm that getting splatted by water is a purely gameplay mechanic in the trailer? Because Shiver and Frye drag the Pilot(MC) out of the goddamn water.
>>736819174I always took it that Inklings and Octolings have bodies denser than water, so they sink. The auto-splatting when in water is a failsafe built into their ink tanks to force them to respawn at safety instead of drown.
>>736811889Yep. Honestly, I've always seen the water stuff as a purely gameplay mechanic and that the in lore explanation is the splatting is either the Ink tank forcing a Respawn because the water is polluted or it registering as 'out of bounds' in Turf War.
>go for a swim>your inktank detonates you from the inside outnormal society
>>736819254
>>736819174they are fine in rain, I assume that when water(or other colored ink/salmon oil) encompasses/enters and makes up more than 50% of their body they burst, basically they cannot be submerged or thoroughly drenched but otherwise they will be fine
>>736819634They aren't always wearing one.
>>736819740Any excess water they take on from rain can probably just be peed out or something
>>736819680sometimes best not to think about it..
It would be fun if we got more personalised customisation options.Stuff like cutting and shaping their hair tentacles. How their clothes are torn up or maybe even something like how stickers on lockers worked
>>736821502one word: apartments
>>736821502All we need is more hairstyles, optional freckles, optional tanlines, and maybe glasses being a separate option from hats.
>>736787441No.Give me full single player kino. Tired of being cockteased with something great like OE and RoTM with it ending far too soon.
>>736821619I would very much like to have the concept of lockers but the space, room variety and multiple dimensions of an appartment
>>736821619>"Man, what a long day of exploring these islands. Welp, time to take Shiver and Frye into my just completed island beach house for some......recover."
Patiently awaiting the reveal of the new octoling hairstyles, the new woomy ponytail is super cute.
>>736821619Been waiting since 2015
>>736815010if youre not in their friends list they will never play with you
>>736821619They should probably get rid of the Shoal and use customisable apartments as the home for local multiplayer instead. I think I stepped inside once at launch to see what it looked like, then never entered ever again. Same with the locker room. May as well merge the two
>"Frye, no! This is supposed to be a Profreshional relationship!"
>>736821619I don't entirely want apartmens just because in 3, so many of the unlocks in the catalog were Stickers and Locker Stuff that it made me lose interest.
More like Splatoon Rapers
>>736823607Lockers were lame, so limited space. People like decorating, so full-size apartments would appeal to more people.
Frye posting.That's it, really.
>>736824465
>>736823512>>736824106I'd smash.
sup reefbro
>>736826008sup, grabbed both signals niceand a fistbump
>>736826537that was a good match
sweet another fistbump
for your consideration: shipping container apartments stacked into a panopticon-style apartment building with the PVP lobby/gym in the center and (as environmental storytelling) automated machinery routinely slotting apartment crates into and out of the building, so you can just walk into the apartments of friends and recent players whenever you want
>>736824106that's fine
>>736826992>that pizzawtf
>>736787002I hope there's a cute boy NPC
>>736821619eh, i’d rather have pants customization. spats are nice and all but i do want more fashion choices
>>736788678no one uses a console to listen to music. it was made as a phone app solely to placate retards who complain that nintendo doesn't put their soundtracks on spotify and who don't know how to listen to music without streaming it on their phone.
>>736792332game is content complete so they no longer have to speculate the content.
>>736829586woomy has an ink vacuum
>>736787002I can't wait to play it only once and get all the new amiibos.
>>736824106I love her
>>736822265If it's single player it's not going to be much longer than the Splatoon campaigns. This is Nintendo we are talking about, only their niche RPGs go on for 80 hours.
850 hour singleplayer roguelite basebuilding extraction shooter with FF12 gambit elements
>>736832665I cant wait to play it once and jack off the all the new porn based on this new game
>>736787002epic
>>736811731i'd sooner have ratchet and clank progressionthat and modifiable weapons in the vein of deadlocked using chips from side order
Frye sex.
god salmon run is so fucking GOOD
Raiders should end with Shiver and Frye getting sanitized.
>>736835390truly disgusting
>>736834913But Shiver
>>736824106Best design.
>>736787046>Nintendo skips ONE direct and does a Partner Showcase instead>Everyone suddenly thinks this means they're phasing out directsRetards. They're probably just getting all this already announced stuff out the way because the June direct will be focused on entirely new announcements
it's gonna be a 15 hour game without replayability
>>736835390god they look even more hideous than bafore
>>736839965>Marina>HideousTake that back before I stab you.
>>736840702bitch is ugly and you won't do shit
>>736842391Thank you anon I've been looking for this picture for weeks
>>736843721It's beautiful! Love the crab tank!
>>736844553I had the picture when the game came out but My dumbass deleted it
nobody would give a single shit about this series if it weren't for the sexy squids
>>736844765the userbase is majority kids and women, you are just projecting your pornsick moid brain onto it
>>736791825this works with girls in real life too
They realized that they cant just keep adding new idols every game while bringing back old ones so they will use spinoff games to kill off previous idols they dont need anymore.
>>736833659Wait a second anon, those squids are kids!
>>736844765I unironically got splatoon just for the gameplay. The squids were just an added bonus.
>>736844923Is it? Then why dont I have Splatoon gf
