Gaming Splatoon's out, and here's the pics and info!

You know what remedies voice chat issues? Party chat. All you hear is the people in your group. Nobody else unless you choose to listen to somebody else. It even took Sony until the PS4 to realize Microsoft had it right back on the 360, but apparently that totally passed Nintendo by. There was nothing keeping them from creating voice chat that only worked among added friends when in designated groups except Nintendo's unwillingness to conform to modern standards because they fear the potential abuses of technology so much.

As true as that is, I don't see Nintendo getting passed the idea that they don't want people abusing it. Remember last time they gave us an inch?

People abused it and Nintendo had to remove it. Thus they most likely didn't add nor want to add a voice chat feature for fear of the same thing.

I know last time I played any games with voice chat features, all I got was homophobic, racist, and sexist comments left and right, with very little actual communication going on. Which basically killed voice chatting for me.

Without voice chat multiplayer is boring :/
I remember gold times playing Left 4 Dead Online with my friends o/

The game certainly feels lifeless without any sort of social communication, even back when I'd play FIFA 10 on my PS3 before I bought a mic to use I could still communiate with the other player via PM which is something the Wii U doesn't have.

Anyway, I'll only get back to play Splatoon around June 18 or so. Hopefully by then it'll have a lot of new content and improvements. Oh and, for the love of god make the damn music optional or able to turn its volume down.

@Cyan Are you playing Splatoon right now?

 

[Cyan]

Thanks for thinking about me.
But no, I don't have that game. I have only 3 games (zombieU, lego city and nintendo land)

I don't play online.

The music is just flat out annoying and it gets really old and its random so sometimes you get the same song 2 or 3 times in a row cause I guess only 6 of the tracks play when you're online. The tracks are so similar and filled with tomodochi life singing and they all are just horrible.

You got a point there. From the first second the music really annoyed me.

Hoped they would fix this for the final game, but.. well.

Finished it all up. For anyone that doesnt feel like reading it, all I can say is this.

I really do like Splatoon. In fact, most of my complaints about Splatoon, is that I dont have MORE of it to play just due to lack of content. I think it's still really fun!

Though I also really wish they'd fix the abysmal lobby system...

 

[WiiCube_2013]

The lobby really is socially inept, i.e, on Mario Kart 8 while it wasn't much you could at least still send some automated sentences, Splatoon you can't.

Nintendo really just needs to add support for a second gamepad already. And give us split screen local turf war.

 

[lovewiibrew]

Greatest FPS ever made. Picked this game up last night and have played it the last 12 hours. I could not put that colorful crack down....

Don't be too bummed out. The WUPC is only used for the shitty offline co-op which is mediocre.

Nintendo needs to add the map to the TV because people aren't going to always look down at the GamePad. Oh this reminds me... Mario Kart 8.

Anytime I'm awake, it's hard to say a specific time But if you see me online, feel free to join.
10+ rounds so far and all wins. I'm the best of my team.

When you get back from your travels pm your NNID so you can show me how it is done in 200cc. I am all set up in the new house.

Thomas, I'm done with Mario Kart 8 there's really nothing at all to make me go back to it unless Nintendo delivers new tracks. I've played it to death, so that's a game I won't be playing again unless it's with my nephews/niece (got two but one of them is still too young to play such games).

If we report amiibo scalpers on Ebay, can they be stopped?

Unless you can prove they obtained them illegally I doubt it.
