Mario almost superseded the quirky squid-like characters in Nintendos upcoming Wii U paint-gun game Splatoon
At one point during development, we held a small internal review of the game, explains Miyamoto. We had found that the ink-battle play mechanic was fun, and the team was working very hard to brush up on that aspect at that time, but we were losing the freshness of the game the more the team worked on it. The thing which concerned us most was the main character. It looked as if it could be found in any game and lacked uniqueness. So, I told the games producer and the director to even consider using Mario if we could not find the right character. I also explained to them why I was providing such a suggestion.
A few weeks later, they gingerly approached me with the squid-like character, and we decided on that direction right on the spot. The director and others who nervously brought the squid character to me must have been surprised with my positive reaction, but at the time, I didnt accept it for lack of better options. I actually thought, This must be it! Its fun to nurture something so unique, and Im glad that they were able to experience bringing it to fruition.

Splatoon is again in this week's Famitsu, right? Maybe we get some interesting tidbits.
Let us know if there's any new tidbits.Scans are out now. 4 pages of Splatoon. Can't post them obviously.
Let us know if there's any new tidbits.
This is my most anticipated title on Wii U!
We kinda sorta knew that but it's a new Miyamoto quote, they are always good.
コイツの名前は「タテタコトルーパー」。
舌を噛みそうな名前だが、タコトルーパーがタテを装備したものだそうだ。
前からの攻撃は弾き返すので、隠れて背後に回り込んだり、何かで注意を逸らすなど、倒すにはアタマを使う必要がありそうだ。
*Sub weapons use a lot of ink
*Special weapons can only be used after filling a gauge that increases the more ink you shoot.
*Weapons come in pre-set groups of 3 (see below for 2 examples).
Main Weapon: Splat Charger - charging weapon, good for long range attacks, can make 'Ink Roads' for you and your team mates to use.
Sub Weapon: Splash Bomb - standard bomb, explodes on impact
Special Weapon: Bomb Rush - Allows you to shoot as many bombs as you want for a set period.
Main Weapon: .52 Gal - Stronger than the Splat Charger, but uses more ink so can'tbe fired as much.
Sub Weapon: Splashield - Creates a curtain of ink. Good for narrow pathways to attack your opposition.
Special Weapon: Megaphone Laser - Shoots out a powerful 'laser' of ink. Good for turning around battles.
Also talks about the Splattershot, Hot Blaster, and Splat Roller, but nothing new on them. Next article is out April 2nd.
コイツの名前は「ボムタコプター」。
空中を浮遊しながらボムを投げつけてくる、非常に厄介なヤツらしい。
物陰やインクの中に身を潜めて隙を見計らい、ここぞというタイミングで一気に倒してしまうのが良いそうだ。
That enemy is throwing the grenade...how? lol

Yea, that's probably it. I was thinking it spit it out lol.I assume the grenade was fired from the nozzle on his helmet, if that's what you were asking.
This guy's name is "Tate-Tako-trooper" [I think it means 'shield octo-trooper'].
It's a tongue-twister of a name, but it looks like it's a trooper who uses a shield, so...
Since it repels attacks from the front, popular strategies including sneaking behind it to attack, but you gotta be careful about it turning around and that kinda thing - basically, using your head to take it down is a necessity.

I still really don't like how weapons are grouped.

This fella's name is "Bomb Octocopter" (?)
These bomb-throwing sky-floatin' guys are probably really troublesome. You could take cover or hide in ink for a second - seems like you could take 'em out one by one, with proper timing.

イカ研究所からの調査報告だ。
先日、「イカスミ文字は変色する」とお伝えしたが、文献で調べただけで確証が持てなかったので、実際にやってみた。
こちらはイカスミを使って文字を書いた直後の写真だ。
そして、こちらが1ヶ月経過した状態の写真だ。
肉眼で見るとちょっと薄くなってきた感もあるが、写真だとほとんど変わりない。
1ヶ月くらいではさして変化しないということか 。
引き続き、経過を観察いきたいと思う。
この実験材料は自宅で作成したのだが、イカをさばいて墨袋を取り出し、台所で筆にイカスミをつけて文字を書いているところを妻に見られた時の会話。
妻「何やってんの?」
私「いや、仕事で 。」
妻「 あんた、一体何の仕事してるの?」
イカ研究の道のりは険しく、孤独である。
a retailer in Switzerland listed Splatoon with release May 22th.
Before that, it was "only" May
the release dates are usually reliable and it seems legit
I've been playing Fatal Frame recently, and now I think I need to photograph a squid to unlock those tweets.
FF5? I hate you.
Wait...just how big is the single player expected to be in this? I think I may need to go on a blackout.
Not big. More a bonus. It's all about the Multiplayer.
Who said that?
