Support NeoGAF

[ZombiePlatypus]

Looking awesome. I can't recall if this was stated but is the hand gonna have any offline multi-player?

Also, even though it's a totally different game, the vibe in it kinda reminds me of Jet Grind Radio.

 

[Nicktendo86]

Well, Splatoon got even more interesting. Wonder if we'll see Amiibo support announced for it at a later time.

You bet they will, they will want to market this to hell and back.

 

[pinkurocket]

Uh... did you watch the same trailer I did?

Yeah, sure?
It looks like the same level of impact as Pikmin in my eyes. Not only is there the multiplayer from E3, there is also a backstory and what looks like a challenging and unique singleplayer mode. Therefore I am pretty hyped.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

It even has 8 bit sections! :O

 

[marc^o^]

Impressive trailer, almost made me forget a new Wave Race was not announced.

 

[Fiktion]

I need to know who the composer is.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

I was really worried they were going in a 5 days at freddie's direction for a minute from that trailer.

But then it'd have all been a lie, switching out real-time graphics for CG! The horror!

I wonder if your paint can be induced to drip from one surface to another, high to low. Plenty of ideas to use with level design in this mode.

 

[Xun]

I always had a feeling there would be a single player mode, so it's good to see it in action.

The game looks incredibly intriguing.

 

[Popnbake]

Squids vs octopus? Lol, nice concept.

Also looks like it will have boss battles?

Splatoon is coming along nicely.

 

[Village]

Now all I need is different hair styles, so I can have things that look like squid dreads and we will be perfect

 

[Mdk7]

Looking dope, surely my most wanted Wii U game BY FAR.
Yeah, even more than Zelda.

 

[Rosur]

Glad there's a single player for this now. Probably would of past on it otherwise and now reckon I'll get unless there is some other big game out when this is out.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Goddamn, an ACU trailer, MCC launch trailer, Majora's Mask 3DS announced, GTAV PS4 and ps3 comparison video AND this all in one day, jesus, game devs, please.

This day is turning out fantastic for gaming news.

 

[Kouriozan]

I need to know who the composer is.

Same.

 

[blu]

My most anticipated 2015 title. Thank you, based EAD.

 

[Me_Marcadet]

I remember saying back at e3 that I was disappointed by nintendo and their lack of effort with new ips. I'm glad I was wrong and splattoon looks like a real full game with an epic solo campaign. I'll definitely buy a wii u next year.
Good job nintendo.

 

[The Bankslammer]

man if this game has time attack platforming single player and arena shooter multiplayer

fuckin' perfect

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

I need to know who the composer is.

You need to understand that Nintendo will never put out an album release for this game. And if they do, only in Japan...Europe would be luckier than U.S.

 

[The Evil Ganon]

Seriously, I'm so looking forward to this game. It looks so fresh and it just oozes fun.
The absolute highlight of Nintendo's upcoming releases. Definitely.

 

[Jeff Vader]

Q2 puts that around when exactly?

 

[Not]

Really excited. It looks to be a full all-around title now. Seriously considering picking this up after I get a Wii U.

 

[BeatResetsTheWorld]

Haters definitely go told. I'm loving that this looks to be basically an strategic puzzle/action/platformer mix.

 

[Boney]

This gaaaaaaaaame.

Nintendo really needs to let their young guys of the leash instead of harassing Miyamoto into brainstorming wii u Gamepad ideas

 

[Azure J]

Now all I need is different hair styles, so I can have things that look like squid dreads and we will be perfect

Will main Blue Squid with dreads in a heartbeat.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

looks confused

 

[Mesoian]

Goddamn, an ACU trailer, MCC launch trailer, Majora's Mask 3DS announced, GTAV PS4 and ps3 comparison video AND this all in one day, jesus, game devs, please.

This day is turning out fantastic for gaming news.

Video games are back you guys! In pog form!

Also, Splatoon makes me wish I could draw. I love the core design of the Inklings.

Q2 puts that around when exactly?

May, June, July.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

The devs weren't squidding around; I'mma calling this rad

Spoiler

ula

already.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Splatoon is going to be HUGE.
A new legendary Nintendo IP is born.

they'll be able to bring back a lot of the cool mechanics from Sunshine

 

[phanphare]

that trailer is so hype

the music man, the music

 

[zroid]

giveittome.gif

also Q2 is way earlier than I was expecting

 

[paradox121]

Seriously, that music. It's like 00s Dreamcast era in the best possible way.

Singleplayer looks damn good too.

 

[Kasper]

This has made me want a Wii U. Before this DKTF was really the only game of note for me personally, but dang, Splatoon singleplayer looks amazing.

 

[overcast]

Just looks like a complete blast. Music was awesome!

 

[KooopaKid]

The Super Mario Galaxy of First Person Shooters.

 

[Air]

I can be black squid kid


All is good

This has me hyped more than anything.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Squids vs octopus? Lol, nice concept.

Also looks like it will have boss battles?

Splatoon is coming along nicely.

Would be even cooler if there's a way to spawn SP bosses into MP arenas, either as a mode or through some cheat.

 

[bobbychalkers]

With ideas like this, I would be totally comfortable with Nintendo after Miyamoto retires.

I can be black squid kid


All is good

Monica we made it!

 

[LurkerPrime]

There's something about Splatoon's sense of style that makes it seem like a classic.

 

[Gattuso]

game looks fantastic. the music is so good

 

[NotLiquid]

I really can't stress how much I love the direction they're taking with this game.

I've always vouched for Nintendo's increase of wanting to diversify or at least bring new ideas after the Wii U, no less thanks to Platinum's efforts in giving them one of the single best new IPs in a long time last year with The Wonderful 101 (and sweetening the deal with Bayonetta 2). While a lot could have been said about Nintendo's own internal teams not doing similar efforts, I feel like this scratches the itch I've been personally having in over a decade that even the original Wii didn't really satiate. Not only is this a fresh new idea, it's an idea that now makes it evidently clear how it can be taken in every possible direction. Being excited for the multiplayer was one thing and now it's proven it's versatility in single player puzzle/platforming that looks fantastic. It's like what if Super Mario Sunshine would have actually tried to take it's gimmick to the next level instead of sitting between wanting to be a Mario game and wanting to be it's own new idea, and focusing on that one thing makes it be the best at that very one thing.

This is the Nintendo at their most creative that I have missed for so long, and I'm so happy that I can be excited for a brand new Nintendo IP that not only exuberates quality, but also a sense of timeless iconicity that's probably going to sit alongside Nintendo's All-Star lineup for quite some time.

 

[K-A-Deman]

Octupus enemies look...unique.

I'm digging OctoGirl's look though. Hope she's playable.

 

[Courage]

With ideas like this, I would be totally comfortable with Nintendo after Miyamoto retires.

Definitely. Super Mario 3D Land and World confirmed this.

 

[tonyh24613]

Wow the trailer is 60FPS on youtube.

 

[samn]

Looking awesome. I can't recall if this was stated but is the hand gonna have any offline multi-player?

Also, even though it's a totally different game, the vibe in it kinda reminds me of Jet Grind Radio.

I read in an interview the other day, it will have a local multiplayer mode which will be tuned for the smaller number of players.

 

[Jeff Vader]

Video games are back you guys! In pog form!

Also, Splatoon makes me wish I could draw. I love the core design of the Inklings.



May, June, July.

Oh man, it's gonna be a wait still. I hope i can handle it.

 

[Tuck]

At first glance I thought the missions were just in the multi player maps, but nope - they are different levels. Hoping theres a full 10 hour campaign. Love that there is platforming in it. And the art style.

 

[Fiktion]

Seriously, that music. It's like 00s Dreamcast era in the best possible way.

That's exactly what I'm thinking.

 

[Yonafunu]

This games absolutely OOZES style.

IT LOOKS SO GOOD

 

[Scher]

Oh, I am a lot more excited for this game now. Seeing that trailer really does well in showing off the game, and it's just so super quirky, too. Good to see Nintendo bringing out a new IP, and one with a lot of personality.

 

[Mesoian]

That's exactly what I'm thinking.

Don't.

Don't do that to me.

I'm already interested in the game, don't go hyping me up to that degree.
