Still getting matches lol

 

[TheGoreMagala]

You'd be surprised at how many people can. Some even better than motion players.

I was able to reach the highest grade in ranked without motion controls and sustain it, it's not a necessity.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

If you press the A B X Y buttons during the wait screen you make is sing

 

[Strider]

Tried everything in the hour and all the weapons and ultimates were really fun to use.

Even the roller kit was a great time and I didn't care for the rollers at all in Splatoon 1. Baiting someone into chasing you from behind then slamming on top of them

As expected this will be a day 1 buy for me.

I am surprised in the sense that i don't believe that at all haha

I can't play until tonight so I hope you're right

Let us know

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Sucks that just as I was getting used to the controls and do8ng decently that it was over. Still, good stuff. By the way I remember seeing in a trailer that you can shoot the roller vertically. How do you do that?

It's a nice fantasy.

 

[Bubble Walrus]

It's unbelievable to be able to play Splatoon on a handheld but this doesn't feel like a sequel at all. Just feels identical to the original game...

 

[spock]

Still getting matches lol

Same.

 

[serenewarfare]

Still in.

Went 11-2 over the hour.

Friendship ended with rollers. Dualies are my best friend now.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

Still in, playing. Yay.

 

[BLAUcopter]

Awwww I missed it

 

[totowhoa]

Why am I able to keep playing lol

 

[Babymario26]

The game felt great for me only problem is they need a button that re-centers the motion controls (someone tell me if they have it hopefully they do) other than that i had alot of fun. Also did you guys know you could control the music a little bit while you're in loby?

 

[KyleCross]

Still going. But lots of disconnects.

 

[Chaos17]

Japanese stream was fun and cute ☺

 

[Mediking]

Japanese players pls stop wrecking me. Lol

I'm like the only guy who stays behind and covers the home turf while everybody else runs off to fight.

 

[andytjm]

If you press the A B X Y buttons during the wait screen you make is sing

You can also use the d pad and the left stick changes speed/pitch.

 

[random25]

Handheld mode feels like holding a Wii U gamepad. The spacing of the joycons feel like home. And split joycons felt natural with the right one doing the aiming.

So far the grip feels cramped. Maybe I'm not used to the spacing while playing heavy gyro aiming as my right hand feels like pulling my left hand lol. Either split joycon or pro controller for me.

 

[Geg]

like mario kart 8 on the switch ? that game got a battlemode right now !

Why did they call it Mega Man 2? It's basically the same game isn't it?

 

[Ascenion]

Still in here! Woo! I forgot how much dumb fun this game truly is.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Sucks that just as I was getting used to the controls and do8ng decently that it was over. Still, good stuff. By the way I remember seeing in a trailer that you can shoot the roller vertically. How do you do that?

Jump while doing the melee attack.

A credit to team.

 

[RRockman]

I'm jealous. They won't let me back in at all.

 

[octopiggy]

Shit> Still going!

 

[MagnoSauce]

I got kicked promptly

 

[Tuber]

No idea what the fuck is wrong with my Switch. Won't connect to internet, so I removed saved settings, re-connected to router, it said it worked, so I loaded up Splatoon 2 again and no internet connection again.

This happened to me too. Hold the power button on the top left corner of the Switch for 15 seconds for a hard reboot and try again.

 

[Ashodin]

zero disconnects

Y reorientates you.

 

[BassForever]

Still going lol what is this

 

[WadeitOut]

I want to like this franchise it's just never happening. Competitive territory games just do nothing for me and even with other modes it's still a huge part of the game.

 

[RichiRamjag]

Why did they call it Mega Man 2? It's basically the same game isn't it?

Lol. Get em. People are ridiculous.

 

[hatchx]

It's still going!

Y would you need that?

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Only had one error all hour. Turned off gyro just to see but no, coming from a heavy PC background, I abhor analog stick aiming. Gyro stays on, just like in the first game.

The trick is to use them both. Stick for wider movements, gyro for tighter precision.

 

[Zalman]

I'm still playing, lol. It hasn't kicked me out yet.

Y does that.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

I kept hitting the map button in matches and absolutely hated the motion controls. I had very little room to maneuver my console in portable mode. I can see it's uses in more practical environments.

 

[Growlie19]

Round one's over for me. One win and one loss, but I've enjoyed every precious minute I was able to play. Hope the 11 pm one is a little bit smoother.

 

[13ruce]

Still going

 

[Yaranaika]

If you press the A B X Y buttons during the wait screen you make is sing

same with the direction pad. and the analog sticks control the cutoff

 

[Kindekuma]

ONE MORE
LEMME GET ONE MORE MATCH

This is some Hacksaw Ridge shit here with getting more matches past scheduled time.

 

[DiabloTheGrey]

Still able to get matches.

 

[purseowner]

Well, played the whole hour and my hype is now through the roof.

- The textures are stunning - real upgrade
- The colours really pop on the Switch screen
- The HD rumble is subtle but immersive
- New stages and music have such effortless universal cool, I love the world they've built
- I came top of my team every match

 

[Thoraxes]

Traffic kept me from making the first one. Damn.

 

[Joeshabadoo]

I def pressed X instinctively trying to jump for a few matches. duelies are cool, the dodge roll is next level. Ults seem to be not necessarily end-all be-alls. I like that. Maps were quality, and the music continues to be top tier. I'm just leaving it on the title screen because I love this new main theme so much.

first hour was joy con grip. I want to get back in the tutorial and try freehand split joycon. That's my BotW preferred method, but having some WiiU gamepad muscle memory still from Splatoon the first, I wanted a close approximation to that

things felt right. good stuff

 

[The_Endgamer]

2nd extra game hahahaha.

1st win too!

can understand the love for this game. wish it was coming sooner... or they do another server test in the meantime!

 

[antibolo]

Ah, finally got to be on the winning team for once.

Test seems to be still running but anyway I'm done with this.

 

[random25]

WTF? I got booted out already!

Guess I need sleep. It's 4AM now lol

 

[RobbieNick]

It's not going for me. Won't let me back in.
