Being Competitively viable isn't necessary for a games success or failure, I'd say it depends more on the game itself, the marketing, and the install base/consumers. I do agree it looks to be shaping up to be very creative and unique with a lot of strategy and that mature fan works shouldn't factor into whether a game is worth playing or not.
Yeah the inklings were not made until development of the game began, as the creators designed the characters to fight the game while making it.(as said during on of the nintendo treehouse live segments). I like the designs, but the development of splatoon didnt start until a year after smash 4's development, which means the inklings werent even close to being ready for smash designs. Also I have a theory that gamefreak made greninja the best starter by far in smash 4 so every one would be pumped about his inclusion in smash.
Then they'll pull a Sonic and include them last minute even if it means delaying the game?
Probably because Splatoon is being developed in-house by EAD. Wonderful 101, even though it's owned by Nintendo, was developed by Platinum. It's also a much harder game to market than a competitive TPS. I don't think a Splatoon character is happening this time, but I'd argue it's a near lock when the next Smash comes around.
IF that is a big if splatoon is successful I cant stress this enough that I hope for the franchise to be successful
Reggie himself said that a shooter without a campaign mode or something similar would be "incomplete", so it seems like we'll get one of those. Besides that, you can probably expect other multiplayer modes, as multiplayer modes make a shooter. It's all most people play, after all.
Right right, that being said, the demo alone was pretty strong and seemed to be addicting and enjoyable. Very raw. But good. Hopefully they don't ruin it somehow.
I don't think anyone here thinks that they will be playable when Sm4sh comes out, but hopefully if they add DLC characters the Inklings will be amongst them.
Maybe they'ed put the gun away temporarily, like Megaman's arm buster.
Is it possible for him to use the buster while he has an item? Isn't it only used for standard attacks that double as item throws? I know Dedede could use his down special while holding an item. Or Ike/Snake/Kirby's up specials. So like I said, it's not a big deal. Just something I was wondering about.
Yes, it's possible.
How does Ike hold items? 2 handed things aren't really that much of a problem.
Well it really depends on how their attacks work and if they can switch out between he different weapons (Grenade, Sniper, Default Gun, Bazooka, Roller, etc.) because then it wouldn't be odd for them to put it "away" into hammer space or use their guns with one hand. It'd probably be how they throw their grenades in their respective game and when they use a move where they go into the squid form the item is temporarily invisible.
Well, Splatoon did win the best Wii-U game with Gamescom recently:
As other people have said it shouldn't be a problem, but I suppose if they wanted to have Squid hair attacks that could just limit it to the girl Inkling being playable (which I wouldn't mind because she has the cooler design) but I doubt they would go that route.
Wow, that article is stupid even by IGN standards. It always seems that they find a way to blame Nintendo when it's very clearly Microsoft's fault that there aren't any more Banjo-Kazooie games. People always seem to yell at Nintendo to keep churning out sequels then complain that they never do anything new.
I mean we've seen one game mode and they're acting like that's all the game will be. There could very well be a single player mode something like he's complaining about there not being.
Yeah, it's pretty dumb. I get that the author wants more N64 style platformers, but I don't know why they have to blame splatoon for not being one. The reason that I am so excited for the game is because it's so different from the usual games that Nintendo make.
Personally I'd just ask Yacht Club Games to make a 3D Shovel Knight to scratch that Banjo itch. It makes a lot more sense than trying to turn a shooter into an open-world platformer.
They already mentioned A Hat In Time so it isn't even like there are zero options for them to play. Besides I foresee Collectathon Platformers and Low Poly being the next 'retro craze.'
Maybe as a future DLC.
Inklings are the kids from the recently revealed Splatoon. The extreme unlikelihood of getting this game represented aside, this character could present an interesting gameplay concept. Splattering the ground with paint and maintaining stage control could enable the character to utilize his/her squid form and move much faster. The character could use squid form, paint splatter and paint bombs as specials and use paint to positively impact your own mobility while hindering that of your opponents. This could result in a unique playstyle and help promote the new game. What do you think?
Moveset ideas:
B: Squid swim - Turns into Squid form and can move along ground. Fast if traveling through own ink, slow otherwise. Can be canceled. Can change direction.
B side: Paint roller - Pulls out paint roller to attack. Leaves a trail of paint behind.
B up: Super jump - Launches self high into air. Can attack afterward.
B down: Ink grenade - Pulls out Ink grenade that splatters ink everywhere. Functions similarly to Link's bombs.
Final Smash: Ink nuke - Covers stage in ink while dealing damage to anyone caught in the blast radius.
Jab: Ink shot - Shoots a glob of ink that arcs downward similar to Link's arrows. Can be rapid-fired. All globs of ink can be eliminated by attacking them, and also disappear after a set amount of time. Globs slightly reduce opponents' movement speed and increase own speed.
F-tilt: Ink shot while moving, like Megaman
U-tilt: Upward tentacle swipe
D-tilt: Downward tentacle swipe
F-smash: Sniper shot - Shoots sniper rifle forward towards the ground. The scope moves away from the Inkling along the ground as it is charged
U-smash: Bazooka Launch - Fires paint mortar upward before coming back down, like Snake's U-smash
D-smash: Bazooka Blast - Fires bazooka downward to splatter paint on both sides of the Inkling
N-air: Ink shot in air
F-air: Forward tentacle strike
B-air: Backward dual-hit tentacle strike
U-air: Upward flip kick
D-air: Downward tentacle slam. Spikes.
Dash Attack: Squid Strike - Turns into a squid and dives along ground. Goes much farther over painted area.
where did you hear that?
Miyamoto is overseeing the project, but he isn't directly making it. The core team working on it is actually the EAD group who's previous work was Animal Crossing New Leaf.
Honestly, the designs are what hooked me on the idea of the . If it was just another mario game, i would have probably not given it much of thought.
See, this is what I love about Nintendo. I can't think of any creator that has such a vibrant, extensive mythos ranging from space opera sci-fi action about a woman in a power suit fighting an evil purple alien dragon to little astronauts fighting gigantic absurdities and collecting treasure with an army of tiny wee flower people. Splatoon has so much potential and it's refreshing and intriguing to see Ninty do something so brilliantly unexpected ans gloriously out of left field.
I would wait till Super Smash Bros roster gets revealed, then we can add SSB4DLC in the bottom right corner.
If anything, this is probably the most feasible DLC pack we could possibly get, aside from a Cut Veterans Pack and maybe a 'Royal Guardians' pack with Toad, Bandana Dee, and Impa. They all have 75-100% chances of getting into Smash 5, though!
