Imagine if Splatoon had been a launch title.

Now imagine if Ocarina of Time was released on N64 launch date. Or Super Metroid on SNES's. Super Mario Bros 3 on NES's. Or Pokémon on Gameboy's launch date. tongue

Nintendo really does have a record of releasing stuff after the console's been out for a while. Then again, it's worked pretty well for them, all things considered. Yeah, the Wii U could've used some more launch titles, but Nintendo is pretty good at building inertia over time.

IMO it isn't good to use Songs in the Key of Panic as ringtones.

(Reason: You'll want to remember where you put the phone, not panic and fumble for it. Also, it can get stuck in your pocket, and calmness is needed to retrieve it properly.)

Heh heh heh.

That said, I have the instrumental Splatfest booyah base song as my ringtone, the Splatfest results ditty as my new message tone, and the Chirpy Chips song as my alarm.

Maybe I should use Calamari Inkantation as my ringtone then :V

[up][up] Sounds like an idea.

And you can always use the "1 minute" song/s as alarms. It'd be appropriate then. tongue

I'd be tempted, but I already have Weird Al's "Ringtone" as my ringtone, and my text sound is the "secret get" jingle from the Legend of Zelda series. Both are too appropriate for me to change.

I have the OC Remix of Gusty Garden Galaxy as my ringtone and the Pikmin going, "PIKMIN!" as my text alert.

Never figured out that "press Y to center camera" is what makes the motion controls work. Now I can track everyone, hunt ya down.

Still not great with the charger, but it really helps with longer-range weapons like the squelcher.

Is it? I use motion controls and I almost never touch the y button. I thought people using control sticks used it.

Most of my games I only use the Y button once in the plaza to get the gamepad's neutral on a comfortable position.

I don't use Y-centering often even with my Inkbrush, partly because my muscle memory doesn't require me to do so.

I always had an issue with the fact that my resting position isn't 100% the same all the time (unadjusted, the game interprets my resting position as "look at the ground"). I didn't know the Y button did that, and it helps when i get bent out of shape mid battle.

But it really does just make for much more stable aiming

A non-season-specific miracle happened: for once I was on the winning side of a massive turnabout Splat Zones match.

How massive? We went from 100 - 4 to a knockout win!

I am now A rank. No ugly minuses anymore.

It's kinda funny in a very schadenfreude way to think how that would've felt on the opponent's side.
