  1. So this game is only about 30% complete for those of those that don’t have Internet.

    Glad I passed on this game. Looks fun, if you have Internet.

        1. No, but most of the game content is oriented towards online play.

          You may call it the mario kart wii of 3rd person shooters for all i care, thats what it essentially is.

    1. It’s too bad that I can’t read your comment, seeing as you don’t have internet and all….

      Oh well, glad I passed on it.

    2. Are you an idiot? This game is primarily an ONLINE-multiplayer-shooter! Did someone bought this only for the singleplayer-mode? Even if it is so, this mode is “complete”, so nobody can complain.

    3. Wake up consoles been feed off the server for over a decade now. Just take your Wii U to a public Library and get the latest contents. It’s not like you need a TV anyay.

    4. Its main draw is the online multiplayer.
      If you’re shitting on this but never game the same criticism to CoD or Battlefield, you’re too biased to take seriously.

  2. Reality is Dolphin Revolutionized Cafe NX

    Sorry for going off topic, but……

    WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS EXIST!!!!!!!

    Does the gameplay look familiar? What about those frog like enemies that literally fly away like balloon like in a game called DKCR?! WTF! Nintendo should do something for these lazy blatant fucking rip offs, i found this game randomly (thanks RTU for using that as a gameplay footage even though you tried stole Big Cheeses 200 bucks). Seriously look how terrible DKCR clone that is! LOL.

    1. Nintendo Tetrarch Quadramus-NX

      >>>Thanks for the exposure, I’ll notify High Command about this abomination>>>

      1. Reality is Dolphin Revolutionized Cafe NX

        Thanks, i would contact Nintendo myself if i knew how to, but anyways the game is titled JUJU and is avalaible for PC,PS3 and Xbox360, Nintendo should act soon and take it down because anyone can see which kinda blatant rip off it is, those enemies are like almost taken exactly out of DKCR. And stage designs and such even health bar just screams cloning of DKCR.

  3. Don’t stop the party, Nintendo says! They’e really handling this the right way. For those who easily get bored quickly with video games, this keeps em coming back

    1. It would have been the right way to handle the game if it came with a decent amount of content to begin with. Unfortunately it didn’t, so it gets boring pretty fast, imo.
      People are probably better off buying the game when a significant amount of content has been added, which should be around August, since that’s when the big update will happen.

      1. Naww, because they gave you a mere week to learn 5 stages, then add a stage about every single week this summer and a gun, and last week a new mode, so if you’re getting bored then go back to Turf Wars and see if you can turn it off within a half hour. FOr me, it’s next to impossible, it’s just so addicting and too fun! Plus, I’m 1 level away from 20, so I’ve been pushing on both Turf Wars and Splat Zones, although on Splat Zones it really sucks when you get crap teams, cuz that pushes your score down because noobs play on there.

        1. They’ve added “only” 2 new stages so far, if I’m not wrong; and yes, 7 stages would have been alright, if there wasn’t that silly map rotation thing that only lets you play on 2 maps for 4 hours. The fact that those 2 maps don’t just get switched each round is quite stupid too, I’ve ended up on the same map for 5-6 times in a row multiple times now, which makes the game get boring even faster.
          I do agree that the game is hard to put down, but for me personally, that’s mostly because I’m too ambitious to give up, haha. I barely ever play on Turf Wars anymore, it’s almost only ranked battles for me, so I don’t stop playing before I reach a new rank, or get too salty to continue, lmao. And I definitely agree on the shitty teams thing for Splat Zones – teams just aren’t balanced, so you often just lose your hard earned points because you end up on a team with 3 rollers or something, or just bad players in general.

          1. You con Palin more than Xbox One owners who buus unfinished games and have to pay $15 additional chargers for DLC to get the full content they paI’d $70 for. Nintendo may be dumb and stupid when making future consoles but at least they still give us free DLC.

            1. I have no idea what you’re trying to tell me in your first sentence. However, about the free DLC: The stuff they’re adding is content that should have been in the game to begin with; they would have been in deep problems if they tried to charge people for the things they’re adding, considering the game is extremely lacking in terms of content. Literally speaking, it is “free DLC”, but in reality, it’s content they basically “owe” us for the money we have paid for the game.
              That’s how I see it.

          2. The nintendo magistrate

            iknow the feeling i was with a badass team of japanese players getting me to b+ but the next day they havent come back and im back to c due to shitty roller teams

            1. I’ve been stuck on A- for about a week now, I’ve dropped to B+ a couple of times too. Of course I don’t blame each loss on the rest of the team, there definitely were rounds I’ve done pretty bad as well, but in all honesty, most of the time it’s because my teams are unbalanced or just bad. A lot of people also primarily focus on just killing people rather than playing with mainly the defense of the zone on their minds, but I that probably puts them in the “bad” category as well, I suppose.

          3. Yeah, I agree about the Splat Zones and getting a crap team thing. I don’t mean to brag, but I’m a pretty above average player, and so are so many others, but there are those who blow chunks, and if you lose in Splat Zones, most of the time, it means you don’t get a lick of money or experience, which stinks, especially if you gave it your all. I don’t think getting a shit team is unavoidable, but I wish that if one team was completely obliterated by the other, they’d switch up the teams a bit, so they can try and balance it. So many times have I had an awful team, and then I hope I get someone from the opposing team on my team during the next round, but I usually just end up with the same teammates. :P

            1. Absolutely agreed. I’m certainly not one of those insanely good players, but I’d like to believe I’m not all that bad either, so it’s incredibly frustrating when you end up in a team that doesn’t seem to even know what they’re doing.
              What I also really dislike is the lack of balance when teams are getting formed. Can’t even tell how many times I’ve ended up in a team with 2, or even 3 rollers, while the opposing team had a team covering everything, from long-range snipers, over mid-range guns, to close range rollers. Match-ups like that make it basically impossible to win.

        2. You have no idea how much it Pisses me off that ranked battles have to deal with actually winning the game and not individual play. The fact that you’re playing with random is why its most irritable. You get close to the next rank, and then you get a few shitty teams and drop.

          1. Couldn’t possibly agree more, I’ve been thinking the exact same thing since ranked battles came out. The fact that your rank is entirely based on the team that, as you’ve said, consists of completely random people seems just really silly to me. Since it’s your personal rank, I believe it should based on your personal performance during the matches.
            What also pisses me off is losing points when you disconnect. It’s not my fault their servers are unstable, so why am I being punished by losing my hard earned points? Same goes for team mates disconnecting – it’s nearly impossible to win a 3 vs 4 match, so no points should be lost in the team that had someone leave or disconnect.

  4. Weapons with a high fire rate are almost guaranteed to have low impact power. Not a big fan of that, but I’ll give it a shot. Hopefully it comes with decent specials.

  5. Anyone buying this game to play offline only is wasting money and is stupid.

    It’s good they are spacing out the maps and weapons this way.

    personally I like replaying a few maps over and over instead of having 20 shitty random maps like all online shooting games now.

    1. That wasn’t supposed to be a reply to you… but basically I agree. I like that adding new things brings something new to the party as that is what the online feels like

  6. i feel like they should hold on to the weapons and release like 3 or 5 at a time instead just individual. yeah it might take longer to be released or not, but having one weapon at a time doesnt catch my attention to try it out :/

  7. New weapons and stages are meaningless when the online servers constantly crash. I love almost getting to the end of a stage to have it quit and say: Communication Error Has Occurred. 8 times in a fucking row. Step up Nintendo. I don’t even want to play Splatoon anymore. It’s infuriating to put all that work into a level, just to have it stop and read: Communication Error Has Occurred. How about a fucking update to the servers. Dissapointed to say the least.

    1. Yeah will that happened to me watching Netflix. Blame it on Nintendo for giving the game a limite of 1gb for that error. I’m sure with 1gb for the game it makes it tougher on the server having to respond to underpowered consoles.

      1. It’s awful. I enjoy the game when it works. I called Nintendo and they’re trying to blame my internet connection. Hell of a coincidence the only game that crashes online is Splatoon. I’d rather pay $10 a month for online services than have it free and not work properly.

        1. It’s definitely your Internet. Lol trying to blame it on the servers, I wonder why I’ve never had that problem…oh wait it’s because I have good Internet.

  8. So how does this differ from all the high attackspeed weapons we already have so far (aerospray and the starting weapon)

  9. You Nintendo fans don’t know what yall want. First yall bitch NSMBU, 3D World , Nintendo Land, Mario Party don’t have online and now a game based online and free DLC is here, yall bitching. Either yall want online or don’t make up yall damn mind. The game is fun as hell and I got what I wanted online different kind of shooter. Next Splatoons 2 will have Online chat and yall complain. “They should take it off because people saying bad things to others.”

    1. so…a good person who loves the people and he is a good christian (mark the word christian)
      so that person in one day he got mad and just kill a whole family with hes machete. ok then someone like you coming and saying: look what the good christian did!!omgggg…!!!! you got the point? thouse nintendo fans you said..guess what.. they aren’t nintendo fans:P they are just kids or unpleasure adults.. so don’t attack to nintendo fans because those people are not nintendo fans!!! just understand on every circle they are idiots inside them circles like police,priests , doctors..blabla

  10. I'm a Boss Ass Bitch

    This might be the weapon Ive been fucking looking for. Splatter Jr and aerospray are good but they’re range are fucking terrible.

  11. They’re designed for close-range, ambush-style play. They’re the kind of weapons I use online, which is strange since I usually prefer sniping but I don’t like the charger weapons.
