>- new nintendo direct coming july 6!
aaaaaaa what is it going to be

Sex with Marie!

>Splatoon direct on the 7th
>same day I have my last exam and my Switch hunt is programmed for
It must be a signal.

but user its july 6 not the 7th

>splatoon 2 is in two weeks and he STILL doesn't have a Switch yet

Let's laugh at those poor souls lurking in this thread.

I think they've already said it's just a recap of all the new info. But they'll probably announce a couple new things and hopefully fucking say there's gonna be another testfire before it comes out. It would only make sense since I'm sure loads of people have Switches now and they didn't have them during the first one.

>tfw already have everything for splatoon 2

just 2 more weeks

they better make splatoon 2 have a pre-download after the direct

>Let's laugh at those poor souls lurking in this thread

Screw that. I'd rather cheer them on. The more /ink/lings with Switches the more squads we can have

I've still been looking, fuck

some dont deserve it

Meant 6th, no idea why I wrote 7th.

>have switch
>preordered woomy amiibo and pink pro with launch day delivery controller
it feels good to be fully prepared for the launch

>implying I didn't reserve a nip Splatoon switch

Can I get into the friendcodes list even if I have no Switch yet? It could be my NNID.

you can edit it later if you want, no problem if you add your NNID

I don't really see the point

No way, poorfag

Speaking of which, why did they use friendcode again instead of the NNID like the wii u? Sound so fucking dumb.

Nintendo is always 2 step forward, 1 step back.

>want to join the friendcode list
>everybody hates me so it would be a shitstorm
h-haha

nobody fucking cares about you, user. quit acting like we even remember your name

Probably because pedophiles or something.

Yeah, what's up with that? What's even the point of having a Nintendo Account sign-in ID? I snagged a good one, too, but it's all for nothing it seems

ded

So because of /ink/

sorry guys

friends with Octolings!

How could we even meet little girls with friend codes?
There is no voice chat.

:^) no

We'll get one bro! Check around on the 22nd I'm sure some stores will get some stock in to sell with the game. at least I hope

Try craigslist/your local equivalent? I've seen people say they've snagged some for retail price or close to it on there.

Craiglist and istocknow are your friends. Don't forget to call your local stores daily to ask about stock.

Less than two days until direct!

Yeah, really. It's archaic and weird. Maybe it's just a legacy placeholder thing and Nintendo has bigger plans for online in the future (the upcoming phone app won't just be for voice chat, apparently).

I wonder if there's a Japanese version of istocknow. Proxies are surprisingly affordable now so I keep an eye on JP shops and secondhand sites.

Is craiglist even that trustworthy with electronics?

I bought an aquarium setup from there but I've heard when it comes to computers, consoles, and other electronics like that, it becomes less reliable. I don't want to shell out for a busted system

It’s fine. Make sure you always test your shit, though

Are the girls coming back in Splatoon 2?

yes sir
it'll be interesting to see what they do to them.

So with callie and marie gone who's going to be doing the news?

I want it to be the Wet Floor band. They look cool.

We only get Octarians #FakeNews from now on

grizzco

Pretty sure there'll be no news broadcast, just a quick way to check the rotation.

Slow thread. Post squids.

k

Well you do need to leave your house to get one

This

It's been a while since I came back, how's /ink/?

Dead

Squid Sister stories indicated that Callie and Marie have hit the big-time after the final splatfest and moved on to other things like talk shows and movies, so I think a new, lesser-known idol duo will take over Inkopolis News. I get the impression we'll find out who's running the news in this weeks direct.

Oh, it's coming back. Screenshots of Inkopolis Square have shown the TV studio and big-screen TV. It would be nice if they allowed users to disable news though.

That's probably the best it has ever been

Remember Ika squads, user?

>It would be nice if they allowed users to disable news though
or at the very least skip it unless its announcing something important like updates or splatfest.

Yes. They better bring that costume back

Low qual fresh squid.

Is that u drawfriend

Some time before Splatoon 2 comes out, do you all want to play some games together? As a sort of send-off to the first game.

I wouldn't mind. We can just add you when you get a switch through linking with the wii u account, anyways.

>trying to grab drawfags out of thin air
I understand there has been a decent amount of drawfags here recently, but do remember that not everyone here is one. The last time I 'drew' was about seven years ago.

...

I'm not sure exactly who user is trying to call drawfriend but I think it's me.
Always loved the Splatling, always will.

>tower is about to hit our base
>there is THAT FUCKER inking the floor on the other side of the map
>nobody comes to defend the point ever
>I'm left alone against 3

Ah... That's it for me today... I hope they implement a "COME BACK TO BASE YOU FUCKS" option to the basic signals

That sounds like it would be fun. All day one day before Splatoon 2 is released?

Don't count on it.

Those were the days

They did

wheres the mask

This was really old and I tried doing the mask as a little tiny line in the middle of the eyes.
But that doesnt work very well with me

Splatoon 2 is 19% off on burger Amazon

how would you feel if the direct announced playable Octolings?

This only means I get to splat both Octolings and Octofags at the same time.

Normally I'd be all oy vey and jump on any discount, but lately Amazon hasn't been getting me new releases on day one, even with Prime. So I'll just pick it up at a local store on launch day, since I don't want to have to wait.

>tfw i preorder it on amazon
>have to stay away from Veeky Forums for 2 days so that I can finish the single player and not get spoiled.

Callie going to fine..callie is fine...calli

A final private lobby would be a really good way of passing the time as we all wait to download Splatoon 2

>have to pay normal price for digital
midnight release tax...

>wake up
>/ink/ dead again
WAKE UP /ink/, IT IS MORNING

Waiting for that drawfag from a few threads ago to deliver

they probably just gave up

Since Splatoon 2 is super cheap on amazon right now, should I buy like a dozen or two and resell it or scalp it?

No, because don't be an asshole

Discounts aside, should I get spla2n physical or digital? I like having a physical cartridge and box to display, but the convenience of digital is also quite appealing

Do you ever plan to resell Splatoon 2 or lend it to a friend? If so, go physical. If not, go digital.

That would be a real shame. I didn't request my squid but I want to see them finish the ones they took on for more of their artstlye.

It's underneath it's prime price now?
What?
I understand it's really in demand in Japan, but what's the deal here with Amazon? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of getting prime?
I don't get it, but it makes it more accessible, so that's good, in a way.

In my country, I had to cancel my pre-order because there's a new splatoon 2 pre-order that's exactly the same price but comes with a free splatoon 2 notebook tossed into it, which is priced like 20€ alone.

Out of nowhere, glad I noticed

Io non voglio ordinarlo da amazon perché sono sicuro mancherà il day One...

never happened to me once, hope it won't start now

...

Too many tentacles

REJECTED

>Splash Wall Heavy Splatling probably gone forever

I doubt it. It'll probably just come in a later patch.

Why? They want to mix things up for player so bringing back an old weapon build is unlikely

24 hours till the direct

>What you hope to be shown?
>What you expect to be shown?

I’m sure they’ll release a “Sheldon’s Classics” update or something. Probably late in the game’s life, like the Sheldon’s Picks update

>new news presenters, tour of the plaza, new stuff in general
>recap

>Hope
Nothing in particular
>Expect
No idea

You know what they say.

>What you hope to be shown?
new mode
new map
new salmon run map
vendors
playable octolings
>What you expect to be shown?
new map
vendors
everything we know already

>What you hope to be shown?
Anime
>What you expect to be shown?
Testfire, fresh fashion, Callie teaser

Physical is always cheaper for Nintendo games, so normally I’d just do that. I’ll be going digital this time though because I think it’s worth it to be able to play Splatoon as early as possible.

the same stuff they showed on the first splatoon direct i hope its 30 minutes or longer

i know we been getting info from the japanese twitter, but we still don't know a lot from the game like the new league squads and what are the prizes for salmon run
