The Ink Storm isn't meant for killing, nor is it even really for inking. It's for stage control. It helps you push into an advantage situation where your opponents are forced to retreat lest they take continuous damage - despite not being a good weapon to splat with it debilitates players that...

Apropos nothing, does anyone find it a little suspicious that we haven't gotten any weapon or content update this weekend? I don't think Nintendo has ever skipped out on one and we'd usually get an announcement by now. The more time goes on the more it feels like there should have been a Direct...

Back to square zero then. At least there's a sliver of hope in there due to the updated animations and the fact that the update in general seems unfinished or stowed away in many aspects (trace contents of four new maps yet only three new gear and one new weapon?)

She seemed to have posted two tweets implying that something about it changed though. Unless that was all her. With all that said considering how much this update contains content in such an unfinished (or hidden) state it almost feels like this is a preemptive update and that we're still...

A preview of my Octoling drawing that will be featured in the Turf War Zine.

As a roller it looks much more optimal for ramps. Might finally have an excuse to use a roller on Blackbelly.

Finish off all Amiibo challenges, max out level, have Spyke boost the gear I like, play some Ranked Battles, get good with some weapons, await the Splatfests and the update events... Just have a blast really. Even with the minimal content right now I keep telling myself "just one more round".

An odd admission - even though kills aren't the goal, they're pretty satisfying all the same to pull off. In spite of that I've found that killing people adds a lot to the strategy and meta of the game. I've found that in Saltspray I like to cover an extensive amount of unclaimed territory and...

Low-to-mid-end 8's sounds about right. Overall the main consensus seems to be that the game is great but a little bit starved on content, which is completely fair.

Great on Nintendo for extending the Testfire. The way they would have responded to it would definitely make or break consumer confidence. That and now they can iron out the kinks in what is overall a solid netcode for launch. Overall I'm more excited than ever now that I've properly gotten...

I don't think you have that much to worry about on that end. In Japan the game currently has 96 preorders/points on Comgnet five days before release which is more than the likes of Pikmin 3 and 3D World had on launch. While preorder rankings aren't the best barometer, the game is bound to sell...

As much as I don't care much for review speculation and over/under-performance it seems pretty clear to me at least that most people's experience with the game has been nothing short of positive at every hands-on event and with the review copies. One of the writers at the Swedish magazine...

Form following function is easily what separates Nintendo from many of the developers that get this so wrong, and is why there's been no better time for Nintendo to create a brand new all-star cast.

Aerospray MG, if only because those seeker mines seem to provide some great forward offensive and ink coverage, plus I love rapid fire weapons (and the Inkzooka seems like a pretty balanced Special Weapon to bring along).
