Splat me to high heaven if old

 

[closer013]

Is this playable now using the Japanese version in the US?

 

[Sora_N]

Shieeet. It begins

 

[Piichan]

OH SHIT I FORGOT ABOUT THIS

You can try connecting but you will get an error saying that it's not live yet.

 

[Megatron]

This is like 2 weeks early?

 

[Naked Snake]

When will it be available in the US eShop?

 

[valinthyne]

Music is so good. Playing at PAX with the Splat Duelies/dodge ability got me really excited for this test fire. Got a handful of friends who will be meeting up to play together as well. Should be fun!

[Compsiox]

We're absolutely starved for any game we can get our hands on. Even those we can't play yet.

Spoiler

[Kicko]

Awww snaps!

 

[Mik2121]

Let me download that on my brand new Switch!



That I can't ****ing find anywhere because it's been sold out everywhere forever!! (yes I know, it's been less than 2 weeks since release, leave me alone ...)

 

[CharminUltra]

It's happening.

 

[Jeff Vader]

Prepare to never see a switch again when this drops.

 

[Maxinas]

This is like 2 weeks early?

11 days, but its good to have it ready.

 

[LyleLanley]

Feel like they missed a golden opportunity by not calling it SplaTWOn.

 

[MannyToons]

Feel like they missed a golden opportunity by not calling it SplaTWOn.

Why is this still being suggested... It'd be too confusing for marketing's sake. It's the same pronunciation, man.

 

[abd]

Maybe they learned form WiiU.

The pun doesn't work in Japanese. Also I am glad they didn't because it's a bad pun.

What's that turned "S" next to the clock?

 

[Mik2121]

It kinda does:

スプラトゥーン vs スプラツーン

I mean, it's a terrible pun and thank god they didn't use it. But hey...

The testfire is only going to be an hour here and there over 3 days, unfortunately.

Still, never played Splatoon so looking forward to this!

 

[JetBlackPanda]

This shit is going to be fun at work! Can't wait

For real, I wanna play this and Zelda ;(
My daughter has a wiiu I can borrow, but I don't wanna play on that.

 

[Grylvak]

It shows I'm connected with an Ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi.

Should've incorporated it into the logo at least, RE7 style.

 

[callhitman]

when does it start

 

[foxuzamaki]

It's almost time...

 

[TheSkullPrince]

I'm pretty sure if you own a Switch, Splatoon will be a must have right? (asking since I never played the first one).

 

[jwk94]

when does it start

Next weekend (March 24-26)

 

[callhitman]

Next weekend (March 24-26)

are all regions the same time?

Fek yeah

I had a Wii U but never really got into the first one. But by all reports it was incredibly fun and a very refreshing take on the genre. Also had a decent little campaign and a rollout of free extra maps and features that went on for the better part of a year following release. The drip-feed of content was a bit controversial but arguably kept the relatively small player-base engaged for longer in the long-term. I don't believe we've heard what the content plan is for 2, but strike me down if we actually have.

 

[RandomExpletive]

Welp time to stop putting off making a Japanese MyNintendo account

Wow that took 5 minutes, awesome

Sweet. I need my shooter fix on the Switch, and this sounds like it'll deliver.

The first one is one of the best Nintendo games ever made, any genre.

It sold like 4 million copies and never felt like a small player base for me.

 

[walei]

Thanks to the Switch reveal event I will forever pronounce the name as

SplatoooOOOOOONNNNN TWO!

I need this game.

You can just switch your main account region.

 

[Possumowner]

Ooh cool... Gonna be really interesting seeing how well it does

 

[KtSlime]

Where is the install link? I can't find it on the Nintendo website.

Can't wait to play!

 

[ramparter]

Lol why are people eager to download the Japanese version, we will soon have ours.

I wonder if there going to be direct before - probably just a 2-3 min video that will randomly be uploaded on Nintendo channel.

Say it out loud and you'll understand why they didnt

 

[Hegarol]

Very excited about this game. I hope there will be more than one Global Testfire.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Looking forward to impressions.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Never played the original. Will play this.

 

[JustenP88]

Yesssss.

I'm in day one for Mario Kart but I think I'm actually more excited for this Splatoon 'demo' than I am about that lol.
