Just need to see some content behind that, more than a phone app and 1 game download locked to the month.

The price is nice, and if they gives us 1 perma download NES or SNES (or hell, even Gameboy/GBA) title and 3-4 monthly locked offerings then it could be cool.

[Karbuncle]

Yah I don't think I'll be signing up for that unless I see more to it than a monthly renting a random 20+ year old game I can easily emulate.

urghhhh nintendo why you do this, really not into that smartphone requiremeent

SPLATOON 2 VOICE CHAT DETAILS - LOBBIES, SOCIAL MEDIA INTERACTION, CANNOT CHAT WITH STRANGERS

Source Gaming @AllSourceGaming
The smartphone application will support voice chat and lobbies. You can invite friends or social media sites to your game!

Source Gaming @AllSourceGaming
The voice chat and the game will work together. For example, before a private match you can talk to everyone but once the match starts (1)

Source Gaming @AllSourceGaming
players will be able to only talk to their teams. Furthermore, you can't talk with complete strangers. (2, final)

So you can't talk to your team unless you are on their friend list or whatever? LOLOLOL Sucks for single queues

People actually voice chat with randos in shooters? I'm seriously asking because I usually keep that shit off in Destiny.

Only one to date I do that is in Overwatch

[Salodin]

It must be a console thing, cause most strangers I play with on PC will have a mic to use. I remember when OG xbox came out and it bundled the microphone in it, everyone used it and it was great. Now y'all console plebs are all lazy and shit, taking one step forward two steps back =\

[haroldsaxon]

They should just license discord or something.

[Fiye]

Got this in my email. Ahahahaha garbage.

[Taim Meich]

Got this in my email. Ahahahaha garbage.

Woah, woah! Is it that unavailable in the US? I preordered it on amazon Spain the day they announced it, yet it is still available for preorder now.

[silverdragontyr]

Yeah. I haven't found any website that will let you preorder one still. Even Checked some of the rarer big box stores like Kmart and Toys r us. Pretty much sold out everywhere. Orders are going for $500+ on eBay. Nintendo Wii all over again lol.

That being said I can wait a couple weeks. However Nintendo should get their shot together as I could see many a people not wanting to wait for Zelda and jus getting the wii version.

[Serra]

Nintendo just announced in the middle of a weekend night that there will be a “global testfire” for Splatoon 2 from March 24-26 on their new console.

lol! This has been Nintendo's MO for at least a decade now. Introduce shit at a fraction and blatantly manipulate demand.

[Krandor]

The shortage of stock was legit in regards to the Wii for its first year or so. Since then Nintendo limits their stocks on everything like they were selling Yeezys

It used to be pretty standard in Halo. You were expected to make call outs in public matchmaking.

[Kaslo]

[Insanecyclone]

3 weeks left and nobody can still pre-order this shit.

[Scythiroth]

I enjoyed them having an ad for the Switch during the Super Bowl and not being able to get any preorders because of that.
