Nice. I can watch the 2nd stream.

 

[Herb Alpert]

They seem serious about giving this game exposure. They probably are very confident about it and bet a lot on it.
I still think that the game can totally be a success if they manage to expose it well, which seems to be the case. As someone else said, I don't want to live in a world where this game bombs hard.

 

[Zixmar]

Yes Nintendo is doing good job marketing Splatoon! Nintendo please make the dream happen by making Splatoon the biggest online game in Japan.

[Soul Lab]

thx L~A!

awful times for European Splatoon fans

 

[KingSnake]

2 AM, hmm. Is it worthy to stay up to see it?

 

[Sayter]

Subscribed! This is gonna be great.

To be fair, I doubt they're going to show much, though we don't know yet if it's the E3 demo or not.

It's going to multiplayer matches anyway.

 

[Akhe]

Yes!!

 

[Exile20]

They have to reveal more, they just have to.

 

[KingSnake]

They have to reveal more, they just have to.

Yeah, I also think that there must be more. They announced this event some time ago, they have the twitter account with a lot of new info, they had the new trailer from the Nintendo Direct, it would be quite a missed opportunity to show the same demo from E3.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

well if APEX does not show us some live Splatoon due to the chaos going on this morning at least I get 9 hours left to see what Japan has going on

Yeah, there's a ton of streams going on for games, definitely checking a few, timeshifting the others.

Google translation:

Be held at Makuhari Messe in January 31 (Saturday) - February 1 (Sun) "fighting conference 2015"
Admission ticket is available in each play guide!

2015 spring will be released, Wii U dedicated software "Splatoon (Splatoon)"
I will deliver a state of the domestic first playable exhibitors.

Mystery of squid appeared to be transformed into a form of human! Divided into four pairs 4 team,
Stay in position to each other coating the ink on the ground and fight "Nawabaribatoru".

In addition, reproduced the world of Splatoon to 闘会 Legislative Assembly Building "Real Splatoon" is also implemented!
We will deliver the state to fill a venue to use the genuine ink. .

I guess Japan streams have to make up for Apex's failure. Even if it's just the E3 demo.
I'm actually curious about the "Real Splatoon" though.

Cosplay or something similar. Titles basically means "First time Splatoon is playable in Japan! You can also experience the real thing!".

Twitter update about the livestream

Google translate:
During the fighting conference, I hear a child like a domestic first playable exhibitors will be broadcast in the "smiling live". Appearance of mystery planning of "Real Splatoon" also seems be live. Everyone can not go to the venue, want to experience the state of the squid and frolic people live.

 

[Dee Dee]

Hell yeah, frolic people!

(Is frolic a brand of dog food in any other country too, or is that just here?)

Looking forward to the stream, but I won't make it far, it is way too late at night. To anyone in a nicer time zone: Please dump info an impressions here, it is much appreciated!

 

[Smiles and Cries]

[OricWindstar]

Oh awesome! Didn't know about this and found out just in time. Any word on if it's going to be showing much new stuff?

Same E3 demo I believe. Don't expect much new.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

the only new thing is Japanese fan reactions

I am skeptical of how this will do in Japan

 

[HawthorneKitty]

really? anything lewd =_=

I was talking about games; the lewd stuff is usually not timeshiftable.

Doors are open!

 

[KingSnake]

Ok, I'm still up although it's almost 2 AM, so I'll be watching this. Let's see what they prepared.

It's a console game in handheld country. On the Wii-U too.
What do you think?

[Dee Dee]

Someone needs to tell the guys at the demo station that shooting the walls does not count into the percentage of ground covered. Rookie mistake.

(I did the same thing when playing the demo at gamescom...)
