Thanks for the Tentacruel one. Was missing that.

[Neiteio]

They should launch a Miiverse community for this game where the devs can post occasional updates. But the main point would be to create a space where the fans can create art.

EDIT: OH MAN THAT TENTACOOL HAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN

Not working for me. I think Pixiv isn't very hot-linking friendly.

Forgot about that, fixed it.

 

[JaseMath]

There aren't enough squidbro games.

 

[Neiteio]

OK, so assuming this gets a retail release... When was the last time we received a retail, character-driven, non-Mii IP from Nintendo EAD? All I can think of is Pikmin back in 2001.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

Back in my day they called it Nickelodeon.

 

[Bucket Mouse]

Has anyone made Portal 2/Splatoon crossover art with the repulsion gel?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh this is good!

This needs to happen.

It will get a retail release, all that content and all that focus from Nintendo themselves already suggest that (And I'd even dare to say it confirms it). Also, this would have to be Nintendo's biggest downloadable game yet, something they would have bragged about already. Game has the main spot in Nintendo's E3 games site for example, just below the big ass Super Smash Bros banner of course, but main spot nonetheless.

 

[Neiteio]

Just wanted to note, this one is not fan art. It's official art that was part of Nintendo's E3 media kit.

 

[Possum]

Ha, funny. I actually noticed this today on DeviantART. Pretty bizarre.

 

[Violet_0]

Please don't ever fucking talk about porn or link to porn of underaged cartoon mollusc children ever again, thanks

well, this is pretty much what I expected from this thread

You mean a new one, right? Does Steel Diver count?

 

[mugwhump]

I'm hoping for more characters. It would be really cool if could have some bigger, slower characters with different stats and smaller, faster ones as well.

For some reason it makes me think of Mirror's Edge

ink to the past

Removed them just before I saw this.

Speaking of which, though, do we know who the official artist is? I really like the style.

[Neiteio]

Steel Diver was co-produced by EAD and Vitei, so it's not "pure EAD."

It would appear Splatoon is in fact the first new, non-Mii, character-driven IP made by EAD since Pikmin.

The squid butt is hilarious.

 

[Forkball]

Poor boy squid, there's no fan art of him.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

OK didn't expect this quality and thank god their is nothing creepy posted here yet.

There had apparently. Deleted fortunately.

 

[Symphonic]

Character and general game design seems cheap-looking to me, and I feel the multiplayer shooter genre is tired.

Unpopular opinion I guess?

 

[Funchameleon]

OK didn't expect this quality and thank god their is nothing creepy posted here yet.

aside from the literal fetish art that's now a poster's avatar and the porn on page 1

Here's a better look at their full-body designs:

Of course there are other colors and clothing combinations

The Tentacruel inkling? She's wearing a shirt underneath that blues swimsuit thing.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Forgot if this was posted or not.

Molluscs are invertebrates. No spines to worry about :]

 

[ChipotIe]

This one bugs the shit out of me.

Now I see it as someone's avatar? What the fuck is wrong with people.

Now I gotta draw something fun to counter the sick creepy shit (which now includes that image) I've been seeing.

what's wrong with that pic? It's based on this http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/212/370/f5753870a40ccef114a6cb88e7f48531.jpg

 

[ThatRandomCliff]

I am really liking the art style of this game. Awesome fan art.

 

[thesolidshark]

My favorite

 

[BY2K]

Why are the screenshots from the press kit 1440p!? That doesn't make sense for Nintendo. Can the Wii U even do that resolution?

 

[Servbot24]

It's a "cartoon". Look them up, they're pretty neat.

 

[uberluigi]

new best selling new IP incoming?

Spoiler

I can dream

Doubt it not dude bro enough but I'll definitely buy it.

 

[DXLelouch153]

pretty soon all of Gaf will be squidified
i took the squidna pic as my new ava btw if you dont mind

 

[ShinMaruku]

Poor boy squid, there's no fan art of him.

There is some.

Spoiler

Don't look for em though

 

[CountAntonius]

I jjust realized from this thread this was a Nintendo title. I thought it was a 3rd party one that got a lot of hype at e3. I can def see one of these girls in Smash bros.

 

[Omnii-chan]

Squids are cool. I haven't met anybody who hasn't been weirded out and fascinated by squids.
I'd pay good money to watch a giant squid.

The character designs are really good and it has a nice art style.

 

[Stopmotionkai]

The enthusiasm and creativity behind the art is actually getting me really interested and hyped for the game, which is interesting because i was fairly level with my first impressions of it.

 

[Fiktion]

Looking forward to their inclusion in Smash.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I wonder if this Splatoon thing will take off or fail

I can't ever guess if something will sell from the excitement alone anymore

I wish this game was out already but it might take a full 12 months before we see it at home

 

[collige]

I'm pretty sure that's just a girl with her "hair" tied up.

 

[It's Reyn Time!]

Why are the screenshots from the press kit 1440p!? That doesn't make sense for Nintendo. Can the Wii U even do that resolution?

This is such a weird development in recent years. Promotional screenshots aren't meant to exactly match the resolution of the game they're of, they're resources for magazines and websites. They're often larger resolutions than the actual game so they can be blown up in size, magnified, shrunk, cropped or generally altered more easily for features/covers/articles.
