You do not need that app, friends can just join you in game, the app just invites them but they can search for your lobby or you theirs in game.

Just chat (and some other app-locked[?] features like purchasing certain clothing). The game uses a (locked or unlocked) room system for matchmaking, so friends can hop in without any app. Just have to let them know it's up, in person, through Messenger, phone call, Discord, the app, whatever.

Yeah instead of deaths it shows you how many times you used your special

That's what I thought it looked like. Good change, wish more games would stop showing kills/deaths so people will play the objective more.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like I'll hold off on purchasing a pro controller for a little longer.

You can actually change it in settings

Can display either death count or special

Splats are combined kills and assists now as well. Like eliminations in OW.

Yes.

Battle Born · Jul 20, 2017

The first Splatoon game was so fantastic, it became my most played Wii U game. I'm sure it will also happen with the sequel. I've already added myself to the Friend Code List so I'm ready for some battles tomorrow.

Oh wow, I didn't catch this in the Splatfest! ~~i will pretend, then, that those 0 kill games didn't happen~~

Kain-Nosgoth · Jul 20, 2017

so did someone listened to the soundtrack? How's the final boss theme compared to Calamari inkantation?

Ogodei · Jul 20, 2017

I don't want to be spoiled much about the story mode, but have they fixed the Octarian's AI at all? I remember fighting them was a super anti-climax because they were dumb as rocks before. Felt worse than fighting the Space Pirates in the Metroid Prime games.

It wasn't in the splatfest i believe, just the actual game.

Joelstinton14 · Jul 20, 2017

Still unsure if i am going to pick this up tomorrow. I cancelled my order last week because i just started the Zelda DLC and still enjoying Snake pass. And i need to save money. But i got that hankering as i'm just finishing things up on Zelda.

So i brought FF12 to have something meaty to focus on and play the other two in tandem... but ... i'm going to end up spending £80 on games when i didn't have to spend any aren't i?

Shikoba · Jul 20, 2017

Awesome OT! Man I'm excited for this. So many people getting it early on reddit D: makes me a jellysquid.

Sane_Man · Jul 20, 2017

Does anyone know if the EU servers are up yet? I can't seem to connect to turf war.

Everything's up. Some stores in France and Germany got the game as early as two days ago.

I have one reserved but not fully paid off. Idk if I need it but I'm tempted.

So excited for this! I have a bit of a busy weekend, but I'm hoping to squeeze in as much Splatoon as I can.

Same deal. I'm S/S+, but have some friends who are B~ Rank. So we can only really play Turf War, where we don't always end up on the same side. Trying to play Competitive Modes with them, they can't quite play ball with the S Ranks that show up. Not trying to toot a horn; one friend literally told me that he doesn't want to play Ranked with me because of the enemies it pits us against. A horde mode is THE perfect answer. Always together, a scaling difficulty, and also just the thought of a hoard mode in a game so mobility-focused sounds fun!

League Battle should fix this too though. This is because instead of using your ranks to determine who you face off against, you do 7 placement matches each rotation to get a rating for your teamy.

Going by the fest this works way better than anything they tried in 1.

Ginger Hail · Jul 20, 2017

Been waiting for this. Can't wait to pick it up tomorrow.

Have you managed to connect to any online games at all? As in, with other actual users in game? I had that issue until recently, and it was the DNS options on the Switch itself that needed amending.

NOLA_Gaffer · Jul 20, 2017

Waited too long on Callie & Marie and the price even for the import listing on Amazon US went from $25 to $30 over the past few days, gah!

That's what I get for sitting on my hands I guess.

SilentRob · Jul 20, 2017

There is no way to pre-order this in the eshop, let alone preload, right?
