Probably not this time, multiplayer requires nintendo online unlike the first game

>>743396237
Yes, and they're looking into ways to tie it into the sequel since the anime story is apparently the new canon.
>>
>>743396721
I've looked into it and the issue is that there's no blank body base model in the files to work with. The proportions on the models from the first game would be tough to work with anyway, so maybe the sequel will see more of that. Best you can do in the meantime is throw a screenshot of an in-game model into a slop machine.

>>743394001
the game is nothing like splatoon so theres no real need to compromise here anon, but yeah I'm pretty excited for ninjala 2

I played Ninjala for a bit when I first got my switch, it was fun for what it was.
>>
>>743394001
I swear Ninjala is a money laundering scheme but I can't prove it.

The singleplayer mode they showed looked pretty cool, conceptually. But is the gameplay good enough to make it worth my attention? I played a bit of the first game, but it didn’t feel super snappy, and there didn’t seem like there was a particularly memorable gameplay gimmick

People keep saying this, but I'm pretty sure it's just GungHo having infinite money from Puzzle and Dragons and using it to make the games they want to make but lacking the competence to back up their ambition. The head of their systems division was caught embezzling money last year and he did work on Ninjala, but I think that incident was separate from Ninjala itself

>>743399356
The first game is really snappy and fast-paced, to the point where it's too chaotic to play the game with a full Battle Royale room. The gimmicks are the movement and the gumbind mechanic, which allow for aerial touch-of-death battles where you need to use your resources wisely to both catch your opponent and gumbind them to prevent them from bursting, then defeat them within the bind time while dealing with other players trying to steal from you. Once you learn how to play it instead of getting railroaded into rock-paper-scissors like the devs try to force onto new players, it's a completely unique experience that feels like a mix of a brawler and shooter. That's part of why I still play it despite how bad it's gotten.

Second game looks to no longer be touch-of-death, and while the flight has been slowed down a bit in exchange for gum grappling, the rest of the game seems faster-paced with more ways to cancel your actions like like just guard and just dodge. No telling how the PvP will be yet, but that did get confirmed to be added in a post-launch update.

Wish I had stuck with the 1st game, because it was actually enjoyable. But at some point I just forgot it existed completely. Ninjala 2 looks like it's a different genre almost.

The anime brought back an old character and turned her into a gyaru recently

>>743401206
It is a different genre, the first one was PvP arena brawler and this one is open world PvE. There are similar mechanics though, so PvP is probably going to look more familiar once it comes out. First game's still around if you want to try it again, but I wouldn't recommend it

>>743400905
Interesting. I’ll keep an eye on it then. Thanks anon. I just remembered the auto combos being a little slow, but it’s been ages, so that may be inaccurate. I also remember the RPS being a huge part at the novice level. What’s made 1 such a shitshow now?

Ninjala 2 is still like one year away, you can enjoy both games.

>>743403005
The slowness was a common complaint early on, so they've sped it up quite a bit since then. More energy regen, faster combos, adding cancels on whiff, etc. It's also just a matter of learning how the game works, new players don't use their movement options very well and don't know about gumbind combos. Kills go very fast once you know how to jump or dodge cancel mid-combo to gumbind your opponent, and rock-paper-scissors is more of a penalty for failing to do that or a risky gamble to take advantage of the crowd clearing it offers than a core part of the combat. Even if you get into RPS, the best move is usually to just dash out of it. You can also weapon break if your foe's burst timing is bad, go for guard break setups, or otherwise stop them from bursting via weapon-specific stuff like energy drain or forced transformation

As for why it's a shitshow, there's a long list of reasons. Adding a P2W upgrade system was the biggest one, and that marked the turning point from updates getting better each season to everything slowly getting worse. The game balance has also gotten worse over time in general, so there are weapons with moves that have literally no counterplay these days when it used to be that every move tended to be good against either guarding or dodging, but not both. The matchmaking is also really bad, so in Team Battle and the limited time modes you've got newbies up against veterans and in Battle Royale you just aren't getting matches anymore because they made it too strict. TB is a drone race and BR is such a clusterfuck of endless interruptions that nobody wants to play it anymore due to bad respawns and third-partying attempts like in this webm. They never do anything about the biggest issues, so they just kept piling up. There's one good mode left, but it's limited time. Tons of other little things too, like the P2W fishing minigame, filling the pass with bait, consumable weapon skins unless you have the pass, projectile spam, and so on

There are tournaments for it, so it kind of does I guess? More like pay to lose since it's all RNG either way. Personally, I don't care that much since webm related was all I ever wanted out of it. The bigger issues were that they used fishing as an excuse to fill the pass with bait instead of cosmetics and that fishing was the main activity for the resort that they spent over a year developing despite it being a solo activity instead of something that people could do together

Literal bait or figuratively? I'm imagining a battlepass that's just lures and bobbers
>>
>>743410128
Literal, it's exactly what you're thinking. There are cosmetics too, but not as many as they used to have. Thankfully that doesn't seem like it'll be a problem in 2 since fishing and cooking is just part of the whole open world thing

tentatively excited for ninjala 2. not thrilled with how they handled the first game. new models are really cute, btu the baby heads on the aged up bodies is kinda funny to observe.
really wish they'd have 2 shops; one for premium currency and one for gold or whatever in-game currency they give you for doing quests and shit
>>
>>743411090
Cute ninja, I feel like I've seen them somewhere before. I'm glad about that too, it feels like 2 might be the fresh start they needed for the series

>>743411331
At the very least, they have proper teeth now. GungHo doing some stupid bullshit with the monetization again is my biggest fear for this game, but I don't know how they could when they need to fill the open world with rewards and stuff. This is a clothing shop here >>743400078 so I suspect you're probably right about it being divided into in-game currency and premium currency sections since that means they could just use the in-game currency as exploration rewards instead of scattering outfits everywhere
>>

i will say i'm... conflicted about berecca being "normal" now, but at least her model looks good. lucy and emma have baby heads and we haven't seen jane yet. wonder what the debut collab will be

I have a problem and have been obsessed with this series since I saw how much potential it had during the beta. It didn't even have a tutorial until season 5 so I was learning a lot to try and help people out with it, but I just kept going even after the decline for some reason. I even have most of the important numbers like damage and gum damage memorized at this point. I don't know if that's something to be respected, but thanks.

Anyway, here's all the footage we have of it so far. I recommend just downloading the GameRant footage with JDownloader 2 or something because their video player sucks.

I've seen the video how this game killed their entire playerbase with stupid decisions.
It returning is a surprise desu
Guess they got enough money from retards

The company has some mobile game that seems to print money, so it wouldn't matter if the game itself got retards

>>
>>743415289 I know nothing about ninjala, and only today did I find out they had an anime too, sounds like a scheme theyre running all I remember is Ninjala 1 advertisement from nintendork creators forcing the "its like splatoon" thing into every video. Ive been big into splatoon since the first, so I gave it a look and... its nothing like splatoon. Its more like ARMS if anything. Gave it a pass, saw it die in real time, then forgot it existed. /v/ being contrarian kings, im not surprised we're pretending it was a good game now.
