YES, I have returned from the inky depths after many months on hiatus! I heard the rumors of a Splatoon 2 were finally confirmed and that we even had some videos and screenshots to work with, so I thought I would chime in.
So far there's bee a lot of hype surrounding new dual-wielded weapons with rolling abilities, a jetpack special, even chargers retaining their charge at the cost of glowing (I'm 100% certain this is going to cause me unnecessary salt in the future), but beyond all this what intrigues me the most is the integration of touch screen controls onto buttons; we'll be able to super jump and check the map without having to shift our eyes down to our gamepads.
To clarify, does this mean we'll be able to play Splatoon 2 using the smaller, screenless controller layout AND have gyro controls still? This, above all else would be a huge selling point to me, as in the past I've had tremendous difficulty using the gamepad screen to play effectively. And, on perhaps a more unsavoury note, it would put a less... "delicate" device in my hands while playing. Truth be told I succumb to Shooter Rage more than I care to admit.
All in all I'm excited to experience a lot of these new features, especially with the removal of abilities from gear. My inner fashionista begs to be let free!
