Splatoon

I wasn't planning on getting a Switch the month it came out

but fuck it maybe I will now. Just for this.

Also that jam playing was awesome, hope that's actually in-game.
 
The testfire was fun, though I'll only have time too play the 11pm one tomorrow. The Splat dualies are fun I play around with them for about half of the test fire and I highly prefer them to the Splatshot. They fell like a more powerful version of the Zapper with wider hitbox, more power, and pretty much the same fire rate they where exceedingly easy to use and the roll was fun to use. Also the new win/lose animations have been amped up to be more awesome/cute. I'm not a big fan of the narrow shot for the rollers as it takes awhile to come out and doesn't go far enough to be used, though it does stop rollers from jumping at you from squid and being harder to hit.
 
I've been hooked on the Roller for this Testfire, it's so ridiculously fun in this game.
 
Any news on the unnamed concert stage I found on the wiki?
 
So rerolling is back, but it's not done by Spyke anymore, but rather his young admirer

You can either use a sea snail or spend 20k. It was 30k last game wasn't it?

He can also take individual abilities from other gear and put them on new pieces, so getting abilities isn't so RNG-based.
 
Some new info on the new season urchin!

We’ve managed to learn the name of the young boy with the sea-urchin like head. Everyone, meet “Murch”. Apparently, he looks up to Spyke as a role model, and works in the same industry (if not the same organization) as Spyke.

Murch is good with his hands, and he uses those nimble digits to perform a special service he calls “gear scrubbing”. This will reset the additional abilities on a piece of gear, returning it to its original state. From what we can tell, gear abilities you’ve removed from gear will be returned to you as “ability chunks”.

Once you collect enough ability chunks you’ll be able to use them to fill an empty gear slot with a new ability. Theoretically, this means that repeating Murch’s gear scrubbing many times would allow you to mix and match additional gear abilities as you see fit! That would be incredible! It could be that this young man is even more talented than Spyke himself!

Also Horde mode hype
 
"Who habitually attack for... some unknown reason."

Totally not a lure planted by the corporation to kill the species for power eggs. Nope.
 
We Mann vs. Machine now
 
We're getting new amiibos.

Also a lil info on them.

We also discovered there are multiple benefits to tapping these amiibo into Splatoon 2. After tapping a compatible amiibo (which includes previously released Splatoon amiibo figures), the figure’s character will appear in the game and befriend the player.

Befriend an amiibo character and it can remember your current gear, player settings, and camera options. This comes in handy when waging Turf War at a friend’s house, or as a convenient way to have a special pre-set loadout ready-to-go.
 
Welp I have to continue my splatoon amiibo collection sadface
 
We will never forget.

The waifu wars were never supposed to have casualties!

WHAT HAVE WE DONE!?!?!?!?!

He is gone just like his waifu.

WE REALLY DID RIP THESE TWO SISTERS APART!

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!


But...not in the way we thought. It looks like the Snark Queen began to have self doubt, her own snark abilities turning on her rather than the big blowup.

Explains why we saw Marie from behind in a Kimono, She left the business. Callie now...the Hype Queen is the question.
