The music for this game is fire. Somewhere out there, Hideki Naganuma sheds a lone tear of joy.

Miller Ball Breakers for Splatoon

 

[Forkball]

So many people going crazy over the school girl outfit.

You guys do realize you can be a SAMURAI right?

 

[Crimson_Justice]

Have we heard if those costumes are the only ones that the Amiibo missions unlock? Are there more?

 

[spiritfox]

First Amiibo I need.

How about an English screenshot from the press dump yesterday?

Thank you very much. Didn't look at the gallery.

So this is the main menu for online. I wonder what Recon means and why it shows one stage under Stages. Glad that you can change your equipment directly when online.

EDIT: Here's a link for the Treehouse Splatoon stream they did: https://youtu.be/x6fY6CUEYgw?t=1h16m37s

 

[ThatRandomCliff]

I knew this game would be getting amiibos! It would be a missed opportunity otherwise. I will (try) buy them all!

 

[thefro]

So, from the Treehouse footage it takes 14800 BP to go from level 12 to 13


You seem to get between 300 BP-1300 BP depending on the mode and match and whether you win or lose. Splat Zones seems to give a bit more BP than Turf War if you win.

You also seem to get the same amount of money after a match as the amount of BP you earn. The Treehouse player's character has 34,000 in money after the first match and they've surely spent some of that to unlock weapons and clothing.

Basically I think it's going to least be 5-6 hours of play to get to Rank 10.

Eh, would have rathered a male uniform.

Its not even like a cool looking saurai, its all armored up and lame. Like if he looked like mitsurugi I would have been like " yo i'm down for this "

 

[Jintor]

Besides, have you seen how awesome a gakuran looks?

Nintendo Treehouse: Live with Splatoon segment is up on Nintendo's youtube now.

Sweet. The guys at Treehouse seem like such funny guys. Really can't wait for Splatoon, my most wanted game of the year for sure.

Today's tweets, presenting the amiibo:

https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/583897849160564736

「スプラトゥーンのamiibo」の画像を入手した。
まずは「ガール」を紹介する。
特徴的な目の縁や、透明感のある髪の毛（？）の質感なども再現されている。
どの角度から見てもカワイ……あ、いや、標本として良い出来映えだ。

https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/583898167906697217

これが「ボーイ」のamiiboだ。
前から見ても良いが、後姿もキマっている。
よく見ると襟足にイカの足が残っていることや、耳がエンペラになっていることが確認できる。
ブキや背中のタンクの造形も男の子ゴコロをそそる逸品だ。

https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/583898440838414339

そして、これが「イカ」のamiiboだ。
インクから飛び出してきた瞬間をとらえたような造形だ。
イカ自体の造形も良いが、支柱となっているインクの流線型が美しい。
それにしても、イカのフィギュアってあまり聞いたことがないような……。

Thanks, I was wondering when someone was going to post it (been busy with stuff, ha ha).

Anyway, we didn't get translations for yesterday's tweets either

We got a picture of the Splatoon Amiibos!

First, we'd like to introduce the Girl.

Those characteristic eye markings, her clear hair(?), all of these things and more have been reproduced. She's cute from every angle... uh, um, as an example, it's been a great success!

 

[KingSnake]

Another one, showing the Amiibo corner in the plaza:

https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/583908420014608384

広場の片隅に置かれているamiiboのハコ。
ここでスプラトゥーンのamiiboを使うと、その種類に応じてガール・ボーイ・イカのいずれかが登場し、ミッションを出題してくるらしい。
出題されるミッションは各20問ずつだそうだ。

As far as the google translate goes, the amiibo you put on the gamepad will appear in the box and you can play one mission (which has 20 ... questions? tasks maybe? )

Edit: there's a tweets flood today

https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/583909518968356864

ミッションをいくつかクリアすると、特別なご褒美が貰えるスペシャルミッションが出題されるらしい。
貰えるのはブキや、アタマ、フク、クツのギアなどで、amiiboごとにご褒美の内容が異なるそうだ。

 

[Jintor]

This is the Boy amiibo.

Great looking from the front, and pretty cool looking from the back, too!

Often see [[and]] [at the back of the neck] [Inkling's feet are] [the fact of remaining] [and], [ears are] [the state of becoming an "Enpera" is] can be done.

The modelling of the weapon and back is also a boy's "Gokoro" exciting gem.

wtf can't make head nor tails of this one

New art?

so awesome!

And so this is the Squid amiibo.

The model kinda looks like it could appear out of ink and capture territory in a second, huh?

The squid's model is great, but the brace (the ink below) is beautiful.

At any rate, I haven't heard of a lot of squid figurines before...

 

[KingSnake]

Splatoon amiibo are up on amazon.de now.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Makes me think of Majora's Mask

 

[The_Intruder]

Splatoon amiibo are up on amazon.de now.

And Inkling female is already sold out, seriously?!

 

[twothunder]

Boy too, I think

 

[KingSnake]

The LE edition too.

 

[pitt_norton]

... preordered my copy from amazon japan with the girl inkling amiibo... comes with a pre order bonus of some original splatoon B6 sized stickers yay

 

[Overside]

So many people going crazy over the school girl outfit.

You guys do realize you can be a SAMURAI right?

I guess people really like blazers and sweater vests?

It does look pretty comfy.

Schoolgirl and samurai suits are cool, but that metal armor looks... kinda intrusive? Looks a little too bulky.

That new art is damn awesome!

 

[foxuzamaki]

He liked it so much. He made another piece of fanart of it.

Squid girl / Ika Musume creator wants it

Yeah at least a $0.79 squid girl costume should be possible.

3 pack and squid girl sold out very fast at Best Buy.
Inkling Boy took a bit longer

Power of the school girl outfit.

 

[foxuzamaki]

The quoting messed up on my phone while I was at work, I asked if someone could make a avatar of the fanart by the squid girl creator.

 

[theprodigy]

speaking of getting a new avatar....I wonder what picture I should use for an avatar

Anyone else think that graffiti on the wall might be miiverse posts?

 

[Jintor]

good catch - could be likely

Nintendo Treehouse: Live with Splatoon segment is up on Nintendo's youtube now.

Oh my, the "sniper rifle" looks so much fun!

Check out the video from 21:00 onwards!

 

[TheMoon]

The PAL box art has purple ink instead of blue! :O

Or they'll update the NA box with purple, too since that one still has the NN logo instead of the amiibo logo.

 

[Vylash]

I was already sold on this, but the treehouse stuff just cemented my decision even further

 

[J@hranimo]

Anyone else think that graffiti on the wall might be miiverse posts?

Holy--I think you cracked the code!

I'm so hype for this game. I wish the green squid amiibo could be sold separately, NOE is doing it right by bundling that amiibo with the game.

 

[Diablohead]

Looks like the colour format used for each box is different, the pal box has deeper colour which is making the blue look purple.

The one on the right does. The one on the left doesn't seem possible on Miiverse.

 

[mclem]

The one on the right does. The one on the left doesn't seem possible on Miiverse.

Not possible? How so?

I think the only part that's taken from Miiverse is the 'drawing' ink; the splats that make it up would be a mask placed over it by the game which would enable it to blend with the game world. That, I think, would be wholly possible
