Topic: Nintendo Direct To Air Wednesday

It's Splatoon, the fundamentals are already solid. Also, there was no mention of the single player, which I'm sure they'll cover at a later date. I don't think you should expect an information dump from Nintendo, they're all about the slow burn.

Gameplay fundamentals are solid, yeah. But everything around it could still need fixing though. I want to know if they're ditching the ridiculous four hour map rotation schedule in favor of an actual playlist? (my guess is they're not) Are they going to force me to back out of the lobby to pick a different loadout? (my guess is yeah) Are game modes like Splat Zones/Rainmaker/Tower Control going to be playable outside of a competitive/private match scenario?

Knowing Nintendo, it's best to assume the least amount of changes from one iteration to the next. But again, we're still four months out, I'd give these things time.

I didn't actually watch the Direct, but it contained more info than I was expecting, so I'm fine with it.
