Inkling for Smash! Let's Make Like Squid and Migrate!

[PrettyIvyPearls22]

What are you guys hoping would be at the direct besides a smash reveal for the Inkling? (I do hope that we get them)
I hope more new modes and more Amiibo support announcments. Also I want some kind of info about the Story mode and more on the Hub World.

Definitely what you said (dat hub dough), maybe them saying that there will be a bunch of splatoon Amiibos so that on the first day, literally only 5 people have the stupid things.

 

[PrettyIvyPearls22]

Oh and the weapons, can't forget about the weapons.

 

[egaddmario]

Do we know how long the direct will be yet?

 

[Burruni]

Do we know how long the direct will be yet?

Nintendo never gives a run time of a direct beforehand, iirc.

In either case they haven't given it for this one. Only that it's tomorrow 10 am Eastern Time.

Good enough for me!

 

[Sakuraichu]

I'm so glad Nintendo UK and GAME do this sort of stuff.

 

[memoryman3]

More local multiplayer modes. What if the online does horribly in this game or if someone doesn't have an active connection?

Most Directs that focuses on 1 game usually last to either 45 minutes to an hour and a half long. So I think that's how much length were going to get. I also think this direct will be a recap of everything we know about the game so far with new things we don't know much about yet.

Wait, GAME still exist in the UK?
All shops are closed in France since January 2013. The closed shop is still in my town, and kinda make me sad everytime I see it.

I'm guessing GAME is like Gamestop in Europe.

 

[Wintropy]

I'm guessing GAME is like Gamestop in Europe.

GAME is a vidya retailer (obviously) that closed down a few years ago everywhere but the UK. We have Gamestop as well.

@ Erotic&Heretic , I know that feel. I still remember going into the GAME in town when I was little - at least I can suffice with the Gamestop that's literally thirty seconds from where it was way back when. :3

I didn't knew that it survived in UK. It was the very first gaming shop where I bought Megadrive (Genesis) games, or even Smash 64. The vendors were nice as well.

In my town, the competitor was right in front of GAME, so my "video game path" hasn't really changed too. A new store opened recently near, so at least, there's still 2 video game stores. And the second one is specialized in retro gaming, so it's cool.

 

[Laniv]

You never know...

 

[AvionFinch]

Wow, the direct is going to be 33 minutes long, that's pretty substantial.

 

[Maxoxpower]

33min!! -3 min for a SMASH REVEAL please!
Yes i'm a INKLING FAN too!

 

[PrettyIvyPearls22]

Watching the direct! Fingers crossed that we get something else out of this.

 

[Maxoxpower]

mii costumes. better than nothing

 

[Poxnixles]

im so mad tbh

hope at least they'll be paid dlc instead of gamestop exclusive nonsense

 

[CommanderZaktan]

And there goes any hope.

 

[Burruni]

Hey. We already have DLC.

...This means we've got our tentacles in the door.

Just like the Link outfits, this doesn't prevent Inkling DLC and in fact only proves that Splatoon is on radar for Smash.

 

[MintChipper]

THE DREAM IS DEAD

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Remember when that Link Mii costume came out and we were so bummed that Link wasn't going to be in OH WAIT A MINUTE!

 

[ikke471]

Well even though there are no inkling playble characters announced you guys at least get your wish sort of granted through costumes which do look hella cool. c:
't was a nice stream.

 

[PrettyIvyPearls22]

I still they'll make it in as actual characters. They said the costumes was limited time though, so we still have chances to get them in as actual characters. There chances are NOT dead people. We have costumes with similar characters in the game before. At least Sakurai is aware of them. While it was only thirty minuets that was a pretty good Direct, we had tons of information about the game now.

 

[Burruni]

Mii Fighter costumes and fighters of that same character can co-exist people.

Don't overreact.

 

[PoopFeast420]

Well that was kind of a slap in the face.

 

[ShrekItRalph]

Well Inkling confirmed I guess...

 

[Reila]

You guys overreacting about Mii costumes and I am here happy we are getting a demo

 

[Brickbuild101]

This.

 

[Reila]

 

[Jave]

If anything, I'll say the costume boosts Inkling's chances. There's actual Splatoon representation on Smash now.

 

[JamesDNaux]

Are we really comparing Inklings to Link though?




It certainly doesn't kill their chances, but it doesn't help anything either.

 

[Kenith]

Either this is all we get or this is a sign.
I'm satisfied with either scenario. Just means I have incentive to use Mii Gunner now.
And unlike AT's this IS better than nothing.

 

[Poxnixles]

The Link costume is enough of a caricature to pass them as separate. The inkling costumes seem way too close to the source.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Well that was kind of a slap in the face.

THE DREAM IS DEAD

And there goes any hope.

I wonder how many times I'll have to post this picture every time someone says Inklings are disconfirmed.

 

[ShrekItRalph]

"And I am Inkling, joining the battle!!"

 

[8-peacock-8]

Oh cool costumes. Their chances weren't affected at all. The only bad thing is that it's a gamestop thing.

 

[fogbadge]

im gonna focus on how awesome the game looks rather than how it affected their smash chances

 

[PrettyIvyPearls22]

"And I am Inkling, joining the battle!!"

You guys are overreacting remember when people thought that MetaKnight was out because of this costume and got revealed a couple of days later. Yeah this helps the Inklings chances if anything.
