So what this means is, there's going to be a part in Splatoon 2 where the Inkling will have to activate a worn down computer under ink by hitting it repeatingly, right?
children are still going to need to be able to complete the game..
the single player exists to serve as a narrative tutorial for the game mechanics, especially since there might be unironically more switches then wii u's by the time the game finally comes out.
the bosses are already a good difficulty gate for the game, its more important to teach players that the octoling enemies control a set area and can ambush you if you don't look for them then for them to be anywhere near as competent as online players

Not even true for 4k.
I recall testing Zelda at 720p and 900p docked and 900 was significantly better.
Well, thanks.
900p means black bars though, right?

No, it's 1.2:1 scaled to 1080.
Compare Wii U and Switch Zelda, 900p is waaaaaaaay better. I use a 4K, which integer scales the 1080 image.

Is there a higher-quality version of this? It's just slightly blurry when used as a wallpaper on my phone.

Will buy this on launch day, but I freaking hate the IQ.
Always get a kick out of Lulu being nowhere in sight.
It was always dumb. Especially when you factor in the amount of time and money they had to put into that CG scene

I'd say yes, but maybe it would be good to at least know how Marie and Callie are and what is happening between them.
Nintendo is "creating the lore" week after week.
we are now at Episode 7:

...Neary 2 decades and I'm just now noticing this. Well that's embarrassing. >_>
Aw man, I'heard a lot of people mention the surprisingly high quality of the bosses in Splatoon, in particular the final boss (whom I barely got a look at before someone stole my wii u pad so now I can't return...).
Any indication if some SP content (again: bosses) might see a return in the second game?

They showed a version of one of the old bosses (the cube weapon) as a stage obstacle, so maybe they'll be back in some form.

Mario Kart 8 is much more impressive to me and renders at 1080p60. Yet they can barely hit 720p60 for this?
its almost as though mk8 is a racing game and splatoon is a shooter with ballistic weapons whose bullets cause transformations to the environment.

Looks good. I didn't get the same excitement watching the trailer to it that I did Splatoon 1's single player trailer in that November 2014 Direct, though. All I want is more original levels than those based on existing multiplayer maps and I'll be happy.
I was going to save the single player campaign for the times where I don't have an internet connection, or when I'm on the move, but I'm worried I won't be able to play with gyro...if you're sitting on a moving bus or train, and the bus turns, then that'll interfere with the gyro controls.

Looks like fun. Splatoon IS fun.
Always have to mention the jaggies though. Just so Nintendo finds out about a thing called anti aliasing , one fine day.

Seems like a no brainier to release the first one on Switch at this point.

What's a better no brainer is to just port Wii U content as DLC. Don't fragment your userbase with two splatoons coinciding.

You're right. Hopefully that includes the SP for the first game.
I always thought it was suspicious how the Octarians used Callie's color.
Same. Hopefully new characters.

I think the gag about the player character not knowing of Marie is a nod to how niche the Wii U (and by extension the first Splatoon) was. Plus from what we know of the story so far it doesn't follow any story elements from the first game, instead being based off of a multiplayer event. I figure all relevant info from the first game will be explained in this one.

Just hope that doesn't mean we don't get Squid Sister hologram concerts anymore.

I think the recent post on Twitter describes why the Inkling perhaps doesn't know The Squid Sisters.
Yeah, they should do a Xenoverse 2 by adding the first story as extra for the people who didn't have the chance to experience it.

With a decent AA solution this game would look great. As in really great! At the moment, more of wtf? Gutted. Playing this on a big screen may just be a no no...
