Splatoon 2 free trial

why is no one talking about this?
Nintendo games multiplayer usually die pretty fast, how is this in comparison?

Who the fuck has a Switch and DOESN'T have Splatoon 2?

Splatoon 2 is the only reason people pay for Switch online.

I do user, literally bought my switch for smash and that one anime drumming game

Me

this is great and I REALLY think that there should be way more demos for other games

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle should definitely have one

>we made a good game that sold millions of copies and made our system popular
>let's charge people to use our online service with zero upgrades to the infrastructure
>let's also stop updating splatoon 2
>let's also give out a free demo with online play for splatoon 2 so people can see how fucking shitty the online service is and even if they like the game fuck them into buying it because we aren't updating it anymore.

Nintendo is fucking stupid.

Gal Metal or Taiko?

Gal metal, taiko + importing a drumset is way too expensive

Is this the power of Doug Bowser?

Wait, Splatoon 2's already finished with events etc?

Was it confirmed we’re not getting anymore updates???

Fuck there’s still no ika-Chan outfit is there?

I wanna know why there is a demo when Splatoon updates is slowing down. Isn't splatfests ending soon?

They said they weren't going to update it, then they decided to add the Sheldon's Picks from Splatoon 1 into the game but never gave a time frame for it. Splatfests and everything end in July.

can I download the demo and get the 7 day online trail and use it to play my actual copy of splat2?

Pushing a last spurt of sales and keeping the mp alive for a bit longer i suppose

Already have online, here's a code user
C02V50LVR7GJ3X(fiftyfive)

nope and even if they did there is no guarantee it wouldn't just be Japan exclusive like pic related which they're adding in May.

Splatoon 2 is already a fucking demo. Only having 2 maps in rotation every hour is inexcusable, only having Salmon Run available every now and again is inexcusable. The fact that Turf War is basically the only mode if you want to just relax and grind some cash is inexcusable. Both single player campaigns are just time trial challenges.

I love Splatoon 2 but it feels like half a game. I don't know what the latest on S3 is, but it's cheap of Nintendo to release a demo for a game that reaches its EOL in a couple of months.

Me since I don't wanna pay $80+ for it.

I guess. I'm kinda winding down from Splatoon after playing it so much when it came out. I didn't even care about the latest splatfest. I felt like we got so many.

Why is this a Japan exclusive?

So you never played the game?

it worked! thanks user, been wanting to play again!

Over 300 hours, please tell me where I'm wrong.

>Only having 2 maps in rotation every hour is inexcusable, only having Salmon Run available every now and again is inexcusable.

Map rotation is great and Salmon Run is available 90% of the time anyway.

>The fact that Turf War is basically the only mode if you want to just relax and grind some cash is inexcusable

Salmon Run servers this purpose too. Also Rank basically doesn't matter anymore after they introduced Rank X.

>time trials
By no definition of those words are there time trials in Splatoon Single player

Check the article in the news section of the main menu, you might be able to get a second code

I don't. Don't see a purpose when I can just go play halo on my xbox instead if I want a multiplayer shooter

This was from the CoroCoro contest to design a new Gear set to be added to the game. This is like the 3rd or 4th one between Splatoon 1 and 2 but for whatever reason instead of adding this one to the game normally they're going to distribute it by codes that only work with the Japanese version of the game. I'd like to hope there is a chance we'd get it here but considering there are multiple other gear items exclusive to Japan in 2 it seems unlikely.

>Map rotation is great
2 maps every hour is fucking boring, especially when they're tiny and symmetrical. Salmon Run isn't available 90% of the time at all, there are often 2 day gaps where the mode is locked. There is absolutely no reason for this. Fucking none. Rank may not matter, but losing a ranked match nets you absolutely nothing reward-wise.

God I can’t believe that’s what won the contest.

Honestly it’s kind of awesome like in the way that Dante is so edgy it hits a limit where it’s cool again.

Me. Had the first one on Wii U and was bored to tears. Wasn't interested in the sequel + the reports of dogshit input lag put me off.

I would buy it if Jewtendo would EVER put that shit on sale. They won't, even though they should during the free demo. They'd make so much money but they are retarded.

Try buying octo expansion, it's just a collection of time-based challenges with a loose narrative.

I did and you are an absolute moron.
How is the IA3 a time trial?
Or the 8 ball levels?

You know we can look up the schedule right now and prove you're full of shit, right?

>A few of them aren't timed
>SEE I'M FUCKING RIGHT AND YOU'RE WRONG

Burger education paying off in droves.

Actually it's 20% off if you download the demo.

Next one starts in 2 days. Why don't you go ahead and explain why it isn't open all the time? I'm interested to hear your explanation.

This will be the third time a "support will end at X" statement was released for the game. It will get more content, probably announced at E3 right before its current schedule supposedly runs out of splatfests.

Almost none of them are timed, you fucking retard.
Only a handful of them are.
Less than 10

Fuck you Euroshits. Your kind are everything wrong with Yea Forums.

It's open right now, that's why.

Nintendo consistently is underestimating Splatoon.

>2 maps every hour is fucking boring
There is 6 maps available maps between all modes. Maps rotation let's you play to your strengths better.
>there are often 2 day gaps where the mode is locked.
When the game first game out. Now they basically all very from 2-6 hours between shifts.
>but losing a ranked match nets you absolutely nothing reward-wise
Only if your team completely shits the bed in the first minute. You get less for losing Ranked but the reward for winning is much higher than turf war so it evens out.

>fingertips are not green
Disgusting

The monthly events continue until July, but there are no more content updates. At best there may be another expansion but that is pure speculation.

So why isn't it open all the time?

Shit really? They fucking did it. Thanks user
>inb4 the offer is not available in europe

Why were you lying?

Splatoon is fun for like 5 hours

So is it on sale? It’s showing full price on the eshop for me.

I don't because I'm not a pedophile

You don't need the Octo expansion, I still haven't gotten it and I love playing Splatoon 2.

Unfortunately, as counter intuitive as it is, timed content and events has shown both in research and real examples that it increases interaction time. The urge to "keep checking back" and the tease of limited content that will be "gone forever" hooks the shit out of people. Other games like Monster Hunter and all those online, gacha, and BR games use it and it's stupidly effective.
Sadly if anything I'd expect for this trend to continue across even more games.

Please help

Sale and free trial starts tomorrow morning

Because it's a pedophile honeypot.

Final splatfest is in july and theres still one weapon pack.
No more stages tough.

You sided with Wizards and our queen Marina, right Yea Forums?

How is Gal Metal? I've seen it in the stores, and considered picking it up.

Its pretty damn fun, learning the first few beats might feel like a chore and the first songs might feel way too easy, while mantaining the beat might feel a bit unintuitive but once it clicks swapping beats feels very natural and fun, definetely worth a pick up.
I didn't knew there was a physical release though

Of course. She has great tastes
