Really pumped for this. Haven't played Splatoon since around when Splatfests stopped, but I had a great time with the game.

I'm thinking I'll feel a bit more comfortable with motion based aiming this time thanks to the 2-piece split. Can't wait to find out tomorrow!

I'm still upset they took the curling bomb off splat roller. That kit was so perfect.

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS

I was planning to spend a lot of time during the testfire specifically testing out the curling bomb in various scenarios, but I have almost zero interest in using the dualies, so I have no idea quite what I want to do with this anymore. I'm sure it'll still be fun but my enthusiasm is honestly dampened with the change.

Just as a kind of warning, there's probably going to be a ton of veterans, especially in Japan, playing the testfires, so if you've never played before don't get discouraged

I hope newbies won't be put off by the severe spanking they're probably about to receive.
More people need to play this game.

Going to relive my first testfire back in 2015. Hope they do more in the lead up to the game. I'd also hope they configure LAN and Spectator mode to work during the testfires and allow people to squad up.

#GiveDualiesSuctionsBack
Like, each weapon had the sub that was just perfect for it. Curling bombs gave rollers much needed options for mobility and opponents hiding behind corners while the dualies had something to help with its mediocre range and lack of ways to get high-up opponents.

But no let's give the weapon that now has range via the vertical flick the suction bomb and the weapon with great mobility the curling bomb. That makes perfect sense!

Can't wait to play the Testfire
after the inevitable server issues and fix.
I've been playing a pretty good amount of the original Splatoon recently in anticipation/preparation for the sequel.

I'm hoping HD rumble is put to good use in this game. I'd think there would be a lot of cool uses for it here.
 
Just in case...

Strange the screenshots and the weapon renders look worse than the first game even though the Wii U was less powerful.

Still looking forward to playing this weekend.
 
My WiFi still keeps disconnecting while playing Fast RMX and trying to watch videos on the eShop. I'm going to try and source a USB lan adapter before this kicks off.

Can't wait to jump back into Splatoon.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Don't forget Treehouse Live will be streaming devs vs players at one point.

I'm ready! I got an eShop refund on the first game when I discovered it didn't have full Pro controller. Pumped to try the series out now.
