Wait, does the Switch have a remote download feature?

Not yet, but the Wii U and 3DS does, so expect it to pop up in a future firmware update.

Looks like I might be wrong on this.

because it uses the same art style as the first game

no seriously, that's why

So what these folks excuse for practically every other sequel ever made?

we don't know yet but that wasn't in the original game



dark theme stays winning

I like the white theme but it's just so blindingly bright at times. It's possible my TV is mis-calibrated but a soft gray would have been nicer.

That's not why, and you know it.

 

[udivision]

I hope the Splatoon 2 debates end after people get to play it.

I've seen very few debates end.

We can only dream

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

The debate of squid vs. kid?

 

[phanphare]

That's not why, and you know it.

trust me I've had many a discussion on here about Splatoon 2 and the reasons why people think it's Splatoon 1.5 are literally because the game play is the same and the art style is the same

 

[JavyOO7]

This game will be fire. So hyped for this and ARMS, woo boy.

 

[ffejeromdiks]

Wait really? It's only going to last an hour? 0_o

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

[Azure J]

So ready for this. So so so so so so ready.

WHAT IN TARNATION

WHAT IN (CALAMARI) INKANTATION?

 

[GiantBreadbug]

That's not why, and you know it.

Okay please enlighten me then about which legitimate reason people weren't able to process the fact that this game was a sequel

 

[ladyluthien]

Sweet. Downloading it now. Will be a long week+ till we can play a little!

 

[Lazaro]

Splatoon Wii U had a similar testfire schedule.

 

[BitStyle]

I've been waiting for this!
Hopefully there will be more than one stage

 

[jon bones]

oh jeez this music

so good

 

[Pokemaniac]

Wait, does the Switch have a remote download feature?

Yes, but it's not the most useful thing ever right now, because downloads don't actually start while the system is in sleep mode. If there's an entry for it on nintendo.com, you can start the download remotely.

 

[The Elite]

I doubt I will even get a chance to play on that schedule. I will still download it though.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Only Nintendo would beta test for 1 hour, god forbid you let people play over an entire weekend.

Is it only for one hour? Cause that's not worth downloading since I probably won't be able to play it

[Like the hat?]

You can download things to switch from elsewhere btw. I did it with snipperclips.

 

[grtkbrandon]

Do we know anything about what's in Splatoon 2? It's not going to be Splatoon Deluxe, is it?

 

[foxuzamaki]

Damn, I'm at work

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Do we know anything about what's in Splatoon 2? It's not going to be Splatoon Deluxe, is it?

Yes we know it has new maps and weapons and specials and single player mode. It's a sequel.

Wait, does the Switch have a remote download feature?

Yes, but for actual games.

I have no idea why the fuck this is such a massive concern for y'all. No one looks at Halo games and goes: "Hmm, how do we know this is really Halo 5 and not Halo 4 deluxe???"

It's got new maps, new weapons, new mechanics, a new campaign, new modes.

Ya know, like the type of shit you'd see in a shooter's sequel.

 

[GetLucky]

This has been discussed ad nauseam, but they are clearly doing it to funnel everyone into the same time frame to test the servers. That's the whole point of this. It's more than just a demo.

People just aren't paying attention. Name should've been enough though.
To some degree I wonder if some of the twitter rumors were to blame for this, considering they were the ones pushing the "Splatoon 1.5" narrative

I think because there was a rumor that Splatoon and MK8 would would be ported to Switch, and half of that rumor is true, so people mistakenly assume the other half is true too.

 

[gogojira]

People think it's not a sequel because it fits their dumb narrative and because leakers fucked up all their leaks hard.

It's because when it was originally announced, there was only mention of new maps and new weapons. Which made it sound more like DLC than a full fledged game. No need to get bent out of shape over a question.

Is it just an add on for the Wii?

 

[BitStyle]

yes

Spoiler

lol

 

[Equanimity]

The first test fire is on the 24th of March right?

I hope the full game has a campaign.

 

[gingerbeardman]

Downloaded it from the JP store, just for kicks.

Displays in English.

Didn't you hear? Halo 5 is actually Halo 2 Super Deluxe Elite Edition.

We already know it does.

 

[JCX]

Hyped!!!

The gyro controls in BotW have me hyoed for Splatoon 2, especially with the pro-con.

 

[Equanimity]

We already know it does.

That's great. Where's the confirmation?

 

[SinCityAssassin]

It Begins.

That's great. Where's the confirmation?

From an interview with the developers during the Switch Experience Splatoon 2 Panel back in January. It's probably a little bit more than the first game's in terms of length.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

That's great. Where's the confirmation?

It was first mentioned in the Nintendo Treehouse stream in January.

[tesqui]

Do we know if this will run 1080p on tv?

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

Can someone finally post the music?! :O

 

[Peltz]

Do we know if this will run 1080p on tv?

We don't yet. But it's safe to assume it's either 900p or 1080p.

 

[Inferno313]

Do we know if this will run 1080p on tv?

Believe that it was reported that it was 720/60 on both handheld and TV mode at the January event, but a demo 5-6 months or more before release isn't indicative of the final product at all.

That puts my worry to rest.

Thank you

I hope the final product is at least 900p. They were able to pull 720p 60 on the Wii U. I can't see why they couldn't squeeze a few extra p's with the added power of the Switch.

 

[jon bones]

Do we know if this will run 1080p on tv?

we do not - the devs are prioritizing frame rate, though:

And the graphics have gotten better too, thanks to the Nintendo Switch’s hardware.

We’re working on improving the graphics, but our number one priority is having it run at 60 FPS. I think we definitely need to keep the responsiveness from the first game, so that takes priority during graphics adjustments.

 

[ChrisD]

I honestly feel like my Switch's Wi-Fi functionalities are broken. It's been twenty minutes and I'm at 4%.
