AWKWARD ZOMBIE

I use motion controls because I never play shooters without a mouse (this and inFamous are exceptions) so I tend to accidentally move the camera up and down when moving sideways and I'm a terrible aim so that little extra precision is nice

This is happening for reals in Japan, Squid-girl costume DLC.

Um.

I must have that by any means necessary. That is the best.

Also, I get really really competitive when I play this game, I've noticed. I'll yell things like "OH THAT LITTLE JERK." And my little brother just looks at me and says "there are CHILDREN playing this game!" Totally warranted though, darn those spawn campers.

I honestly think you should give them a chance, if just for a couple of matches. Motion controls aren't my favourite input method either, but I think they work quite alright for aiming in Splatoon. Even with the sensitivity adjusted to +5, it feels like I got more control over my aim than I get when using the stick.

Worst I do is mutter "aw, dicks" when I make a stupid mistake like swimming towards a roller. I'm a very mild gamer.

Haven't run into much spawn camping yet, though.

EDIT: and Idunno, I've already gotten used to the controls as they are. It's not causing any issues for me, I just think it's a weird and contrary choice on Nintendo's behalf. At least they let you strafe while you're holding down the trigger with most guns.

Maybe they were drawing inspiration from the metroid prime controls

AMIIBO!

That looks so fake. Most notably, despite Sunshine's Japanese logo, Splatoon doesn't have the Japanese characters below the logo.

And why in the world would they have a completely new IP seperate from established franchises and then add in their mascot just because? It was already established that the devs were not thinking of Sunshine when they made up the concept of Splatoon.

It works very well, though. As a DLC bonus boss fight or something like that down the road I would adore the idea of Inklings VS Mario.

Or a Juggernaut-esque mode where one player plays as Mario with FLUDD. The rest of the players have to work together to ink up the stage with their normal weapons while the Mario player cleans up their mess.

The inkbrush is coming tonight. 10PM Eastern, 7PM Pacific, 3AM in the UK and 4AM for the rest of Europe.

Also every time I hear the final boss Squid Sisters version music I want to dance. It's just so lively and exciting. Also HOLY CALLIE-MARIE you have to focus during the final boss. Though it's ridiculously easy with the Squid amiibo.

My internet has been horrible the past few days so I can't play without getting an unstable connection error. I just want to be a squid now, and maybe a kid later.

Holy carp I've finally completed all the amiibo challenges.

I somehow managed to kill someone with a sprinkler last night, I figure they had already taken damage elsewhere and then got love tapped to death.
