Do you think there will be another test-fire closer to E3 or launch?
Those of you that have a Switch, what have you been doing to keep yourself occupied?
Are there any things that you hope to see?
This might be a little one, but I hope to see a Splatoon theme for the home screen.

of course

n/a
>Are there any things that you hope to see?
weekly automated ingame tournaments

I didn't get to play the testfire, what is there to do in the lobby waiting for a match?

lobbies were instant, no minigames

...

They'll definitely have at least one more testfire, probably a month before release/the weekend after E3 concludes. Nintendo will do their thing where they'll host a Direct, have more news about Splatoon 2 features, announce a second testfire, and probably announce Splatoon Joycon colours or a Switch bundle (if that will even be a thing).

You could distort and compose the lobby music with the controller, sort of like a DJ.

They better smooth out their online stuff before Splatoon comes out.
Friend-codes, really?

You know they won't.

I can hope.
NOA must at least realize it's archaic and unpopular.
I also don't think that launch window Switch is supposed to be representative of how the console will look down the line.
I mean, the 3DS changed a whole lot in it's lifetime.
I guess the main thing is we don't know how far down the line the changes will happen.

EU Pineapple / NoPine art if anyone was curious.

>pineapples on pizza

I'm glad the EU did the right thing and shut the shit down

It's weird, Australia/New Zealand got all the EU splatfests, but Chapter 4 has Callie and Marie ordering a hamburger and slice of pizza, like the US. Gotta love Nintendo AU/NZ's half-assed marketing.

Fruit and meat is classic though.

Sex with Marie!

The stories were written in Japanese first for their twitter, which also mentions the pizza-hamburger thing. I guess the splatfests are considered universal now?

Fruit is great on its own and so is meat but meat, fruit with cheese and tomato sauce? Hippie stoner bullshit.

Tomatoes are fruit though.

Good thing I keep tomato separate from my meats. Besides the tangy sweetness of pineapples is horrid when combine with a meat. Makes it taste like the meat has gone off.

In my experience pineapple on pizza is only good when the pineapple is fairly fresh and the sauce is more savory than sweet. I've gone to local pizza places that do a good job of this. Dominoes and Pizza Hut pineapple pizza tastes downright foul, though.

Actually, ignore what I said about the sauce. I might've gotten savory and sweet mixed up. It's been awhile since I've actually eaten pineapple pizza. The point is that the sauce has to compliment it.

It's gotta be ham, riffing on gammon and pineapple. Other meats don't work.

So has it been confirmed that invincible specials won't come back?

About as confirm as it can be without them flat out saying it. All I care about is if E-Liters are back. If they stay couldn't care less about invincibility specials.

Friends with Octolings!

That last chapter definitely raises the possibility about weapon customization. I wonder if we are going to get different stickers or potentially that customization might have a in-game effect.

>that little blue sea slug

2CUTE

They've basically said all specials in Splatoon 2 will be brand new, so probably. They might bring them back, but modify them a bit and give them a new name.

>Do you think there will be another test-fire closer to E3 or launch?
could be, maybe nintendo testing their servers before the release
>Those of you that have a Switch, what have you been doing to keep yourself occupied?
getting last medals in botw and looking for korok poop
more stages, more songs, a longer single player campaign
>Splatoon theme for the home screen
I dont even care if we dont get an specific splatoon theme at the release but we need customization for the damn thing

...

i hope there is or at least an ARMS demo around may

i been playing mario kart 8 with some /ink/ guys i know

more maps for salmon run,show more specials and show a trailer for the story mode

i don't really care for a splatoon theme on the switch, the black is already perfect but i woudn't mind having something like the 3DS did

ARMS at Evo when

Update, we have 4 chspters now.

...

>tfw no word on dance taunts in Splatoon 2

Guess there's Splatoon 3 to look forward to

Which one of you was this

Sick and tired of seeing colours in your vibrant squid-kid shooter? "Tataki Ken Saki" specialises in simple monotone designs.

New ink color?

I kinda like it.

WHAT ARE THOSE!?

Any other brand trailers?

Guess the old flipper feet are gone for good now.

@here

The Ink Machine looking for a scrim. Add Nizmo-Indian.

I wanna suck some sweaty, smelly Inkling girl toes.

CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES
THIS IS MY LAST RESORT

We can be albino now?

I wonder if we'll get to have bare feet in-game, sort of like how the fake eye contacts worked. I have no idea what they could use to accommodate abilities though.

They could just make it a small bandaid on the pad of their foot or something. Or maybe they could include ankle bracelets as footware.

That said, that woomy really doesn't seem to have anything at all. Clear socks, maybe?

Foot oil maybe?
Painted toe nails?

Clear nail polish. There we go.

Do you think if I play Salmon Run solo it will give me AI teammates or will I just be alone?

They don't have nails. They may get fake nails, though, but that won't be really barefoot. Bandaids on soles may work, though.

hehe 1 day less my friends
