You can see the horseshoe crab logo on the cannon, could that be the other specie/army that they're hinting at?

Yes there will be local multiplayer of some sort but they have yet to detail it. We don't know yet if Wiimote + Nunchuk will be a control option.
This game's art > everything else in the universe.
that's.......amazing. they're really going all out with the detail in this game.

I hope there's some kind of special edition that comes with an art book, or something. That attention to detail.
If there's local multiplayer, wiimote aiming will probably be included, particularly if it's 4p splitscreen.

Haha that's a really cute detail.
They only talked about 2 players.

Love the updates. Wonder if they'll reveal anything substantial without a Direct/new trailer?
<3 this games art.

So far they have only confirmed there will be a 1 v 1 mode locally. Personally though I would be surprised if they didn't have 4P Split screen also though, yeah. This is Nintendo.
Squids, Octopus, Cats, Crabs, Fish's Eggs, this game really like its Seafood lol
Oh ok, but even then, more gamers have the wiimote + nunchuck combo than a pro controller so it would make sense. Pikmin 3 and Nintendoland used this control scheme so I don't see why not.

Yeah, like with 4p local multiplayer it's something I expect will be in the game and just hasn't been announced yet as this is Nintendo. They always support as many control options as possible.

Thanks again, updated the first post!

That sounds like great sequel material. Alien jellyfish with electric and telekinesis powers.
Remember how NoJ posted the 60fps version of the Direct trailer? Well, NoA just did it as well

Slightly OT, but they did the same for the MK8 DLC trailer, the one showed in the Direct

Hopefully, Nintendo will use 60fps videos right when trailers for games supporting 60fps release.

Watched this earlier. I'll take any excuse to revisit the exceptional Direct trailer.
With them employing cuttlefish ninjas that have active camo
Oh, my. As daydreaming said, any excuse to watch this trailer again. I really love how this is cut, it's one of my favorite trailers in a long time. Just super compelling and unusual. I'm psyched to see what the SP campaign is like in some more detail. I'm hoping it's a solid little adventure, maybe 10+ hours or more with various built-in or user-created challenges (i.e. no ink runs, etc.).

Don't you mean Metroid-lings?

That old man looks awesome.
Really? Didn't know that. It would help with yaw (rotation around the vertical axis) to help fix gyroscopic drift.
Thank you! Love it.

I'm loving these updates. Very cute and also informative
Don't be so sure about 4 player local. Pikmin 3 only supports 2 player and I suspect this game will as well.

I think the 2nd trailer is great, too. The music is fun, but off-beat. The first time I watched it, it felt like an almost random collection of images, but watching it again (and again and again) it actually seems to methodically show off a lot of the games mechanics, story, and characters, just very quickly. It feels as though it's intentionally designed to reward those who watch it multiple times with more information.

I wonder how deep the story will be...

At this pace, they'll run out of information to tweet soon. I expect more in Dec Nintendo direct and a March release.

lolwat. That sounds like a Mega Man boss name. How gloriously odd
I was thinking Metal Gear Solid.

Short of the updates slowing down or the game being bigger than what's hinted, March doesn't sound so far fetched, tbh.

Keep in mind the game's heavy focus on pad use to monitor how much territory is covered, see where you're needed, and to tap fellow players to warp to their location. While solutions could be found, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo sees this as an insurmountable problem.
Any local multi is likely to be at least a little different from the online multi.

Well 1 v 1 local is already confirmed, which means they already have a way for one person to not use the pad.

So they enslave electric catfish and treat them as a natural resource? So the Inkling war is over a suppressed species wanting to live on the surface and also a conflict over energy resources?

Looks like single player is going to have some interesting mechanics. I wonder if these mechanics will be in multiplayer as well?
