Splatoon 2: General Discussion and Review Thread

Straight up, one of the most unique and fun games out there. Anyone with a Switch should be looking into it, and if you like FPS's, it is highly recommended.

So yes, Splatoon 2 is more of the same. It's a lot more of the same, seeing how it folds in all the improvements and additions that were introduced to the original over time and gives returning maps a significant makeover. It's going to be a lot more of the same - with the potential for some new surprises - given how Splatoon 2 is going to benefit from the same steady roll-out of new weapons, maps and modes. By any reasonable measure, this is a better game than its predecessor, and not just on quantity alone. It no longer benefits from the shock of the new - for that, you have to look towards the outstanding Arms - but it's most definitely an improvement on what remains one of Nintendo's finest games in many a year. It was only inevitable, though, that this one was never going to feel quite as fresh.

The game encourages you to customise your character with new clothes, each of which gives you bonus abilities. I enjoyed playing around with different looks, settling on a cap that boosted the charge speed of my special attack and some trainers that made me run faster. All well and good, except for the fact that hats are in a different shop to shoes, which are separate from tops and legwear. Again, you have to quit to the menu every time, then go to a different store. If these gripes appear minor, that’s because they are. They came nowhere near ruining my time with Splatoon 2. It’s the most multiplayer fun I’ve had in a while: the bright colours and squelchy sounds draw you into a mechanically complex shooter that you could spend weeks trying to master – and still learn new tricks. Splatoon 2 doesn’t improve much on the excellent original, but it’s a timely reminder of just how fun it is to throw a bucket of paint at a man with a pointy head until he explodes.

Sounds like I'm glad I didn't play the first one.

Just downloaded this ridiculous iPhone app that Nintendo has pitched to use for in game chat. Can't wait to see how this works out.

Do we know if there are any couch co-op modes? Even if it's the Salmon Run horde battle. Something. Anything.
For the company that swore up and down that they were holding on to the 4 controller ports to keep the integrity of playing in the same room together, they've pissed on the couch game for a while now.

Glad to see Nintendo is updating the Barney franchise.

FWIW the loadout right now is good for climbing if you aren't already a "profreshional" in Salmon Run
