I love that the devs are doing this twitter update stuff, every Nintendo team should do this, imagine Smash Bros. Dojo for every game.

That would be too much for my twitter feed...lol. Would be awesome.
I agree, even a weekly or monthly update with an image plus a brief description would be enough, at this point they should know how a single screenshot can generate really long discussions and speculation, keeping the game in the mind of the public, it's free marketing.I love that the devs are doing this twitter update stuff, every Nintendo team should do this, imagine Smash Bros.

The limited local multiplayer mode could be a hint of what they might end up doing with controller support.
On second thought is kind of weird the local multiplayer mode is a 1 vs 1. Wouldn't make more sense to be a co op mode to tackle multiplayer battles? That is, multiplayer supported up to 2 players for each Wii U.
Regarding what this could imply for controller support, a 1 vs 1 would be an scenario were quick travel is not needed. And so far the only method we know is by using the touch screen. So under normal circunstances the Gamepad is the method to play the game and Wii Pro or Wii Remote would be for local only.
Couldn't careless about Wii Pro, but seen a shooter not supporting the Wii Remote fully is a waste.
And how they could turn them in interesting gameplay ideas.
So I was thinking. We really need some symbol or icon for Splatoon for the hype and the eyes in the Splatoon logo just don't seem to work well. I was wondering if it would be possible for someone to recreate the missing pieces of the octopus and squid posters we see in this image here.
Those would make a great little stamp on an avatar, like squid approved or octopus approved.

Thanks, looks great! Stealth while motionless in ink should lead to some awesome mindgames.
That's why I hope there is mode with more than 2 colors of ink, imagine a deathmatch with six players, each with one color.

I think he means the triangle and rectangle logos in the background of the image he posted.

So good! Hope you don't mind me stealing them for the banner.
Thanks
No, go ahead.
Here's the Squid logo to go along with TheMoon's Octo

They should definitely do this for Zelda U. It will make the wait more bearable.

Flawless.
I recreated the Octopus poster from scratch. Now you got a clean looking one to go along with the Squid poster!
Awesome!

all my loli wolf companions are so moe

/jk I don't eat squid/octopi for seafood

Would you mind if I used one of those for my avatar? Any way to get the left one with a clear background?

Old man squiddy! need ranslation
I hope my great idea is in.
Basically it's capture the flag, only difference is that you can't take the flag object with you through the enemy team's ink. The one holding the flag can't spray ink at all so his or her teammates need to assist and spray paint a path towards the capture point.

I feel like we are getting a lot of these, lol. They can't keep doing this for months, can they?

What if the game has so much content that they can do this for months indeed?
Seriously, I expect them to slowdown a bit in the next few weeks, they can't go on like this. Plus, we need an American & European Splatoon Twitter account!
You go right ahead. Its for whoever want to use it. The background is clear and if you want me to add or change anything, let me know.
Speedwagon
Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
This game looks so fun.
Nowadays whippersnapper squiddy don't know how scary the true war between Ika and Tako.

It has an early 2015 launch, right? So, they probably can continue releasing tweets about it, until launch.
It should be in the game, but I don't think they've confirmed it yet. Using the Wiimote might be a more accurate option than just using the analog stick, which could give an unfair advantage to people using the Wiimote, so maybe they might not include it.
Eh? That was a code?

Q2 2015 I think. So we're expecting May/June...half a year or so.
Aw, man. Longer than I thought.
Gyro Aiming, how does it work exactly? I think it's a piece of hardware installed in the controller that lets you establish a default point of reference in 3D space, and by moving the controller, you're essentially moving a cursor around in that space from the previously established default point of reference.
A PC mouse, once it has been set down on a mousepad and, in effect, "established its point of reference" is sort of the equivalent but only on a 2D plane. (All though, I assume that most games will only use gyro aiming on a 2D plane as well.) As opposed to analog, which uses a real "object" to directly translate movement to the software or graphical based "cursor", as well as IR or motion sensor trackers (Wii controller, etc.) that require 2 points of contact established at all times (Controller and a remote sensor.), and, while a 3D plane is probably possible with the tech, the gaming stuff only uses a 2D plane. Is that correct?

GamePad also uses a magnetometer (wasn't part of the WiimotePlus). Don't ask me how it works, though.
Reporting from the Squid Translation Lab!
Investigation report from the Squid Research Lab. This mysterious person (sorry, squid) guides the protagonist in Hero Mode. It seems that in the peaceful squid world he is the only man (sorry, squid) that has noticed the plans of the Octopus Corps. Anyway, he's totally seeing our cameraman here.

We have confirmed the existence of various contraptions in Hero Mode. This cannon can shoot powerful ink bullets. Could it be something that the Octopus Corps set up, or was it someone else entirely? Be that as it may, it looks like a rather technologically advanced device.
