Semi-Pro Squid
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this here already, but why can't you play Splatoon online using a different controller, or why isn't the entire game accessible through the gamepad WITHOUT a TV?
I mean, I understand some of the things you need to do with the gamepad's second screen like switching inkling appearance, options, Booyah Base shops, and most importantly, super jumping to other players in battle, but I feel like these things could easily just be put into some sort of easy access drop down menu or button that isn't necessarily used at all in the game (If i recall correctly, the minus button is used for nothing).
For example, you could use the minus button online to get a mini map on the side of your screen and you could quickly select a player you want to squid jump to. And in single player, you could use the minus button to send the drop down menu for the options, controls and etc. that normally appear on the gamepad's screen. I understand that using the touch screen is less complex but what happens if your gamepad suddenly stops working? Or if the charger stops working? (i know a lot of people have had that problem, including me, preventing me from playing for almost a month.) Or what if they dont have access to the TV because someone wants to use it (just like every other Wii U game, you can use offscreen play).
I dunno, maybe it's just because my TV's been in storage for so long that I've missed tons of the updates and weapons, and I'm just really anxious to play. But does anyone else agree?
