    Cool, I didn't get much of a chance to play last time (missed Friday, wasn't getting up at 6am, and got home about 30 mins into the last time, so only a handful of games... Luckily they go pretty fast so I got a decent amount in in that time)

    I think I've decided to go digital with Splatoon. It really seems like a game to kill 20 minutes (or 2 hours) with. No disc swapping would facilitate that.

    So it seems like there are a good number of options for all the customization stuff and the maps, but I'm hoping over time they'll add more of that stuff (and I really hope you won't necessarily have to pay to put like, new hats or shoes in your game)

    By the way, that guy just wanted to know who made the Splatoon-style Scribblenaut artwork. It looked like it was some GAF dude.

    Which is where I just found all this other fan art!

    Well, the actual advertising doesn't really lean one way or the other. I like how neutral it's all been.

    If there's one customization thing I'd like more (or anything, really) of, it's hairdos.

    That is definitely something I would like to see in the future. One hairstyle per gender is kind of lame.

    I get the sense that the reason they do this is because they expect players to be wearing hats 100% of the time, what with the associated stat boosts.

    Mostly fine, just one connection issue at the beginning of one match but no lag that I could tell.

    I got booted from logging on once and booted from matchmaking once. Both times they just kicked me back to the previous screen and it worked like a charm the 2nd time.

    GameXplain mentioned during their Q&A that regular amiibo did nothing. Who knows if that will change in the future though.

    Well, I think he was asking if the Splatoon amiibos worked in other games, not if other amiibos worked with Splatoon. But yes.

    My kids are all amped up for Splatoon now. They watched the whole Splatoon direct video and the Nintendo one where they play single player.

    Will this have splitscreen local Multiplayer?

    There's one local multiplayer thing (that I haven't really seen and don't know how it works) that is 1v1, but otherwise no.

    And that's one player on the pad and one on the tv, so probably not the split-screen you're thinking of

    Played 7 games, only one time the inktsplatters lagged behind a few seconds so I was not able to climb a wall as fast as I wanted. After a few seconds the inkt appeared and after that all was well.

    Probably possibly the Nintendo VC game demo thing, where you scan any amiibo and it unlocks a random game for you to demo.

    They'll probably work for anything that has an "all the other amiibos" reward like Hyrule Warriors

    As soon as it said "swim behind the chase bomb!" I thought "yeah, that's gonna work all of once before people wise up and shoot behind it".

    Then the very next tip was "Then don't swim behind it and use it as a distraction!".

    Well played, Splatoon. Well played.
