    Not sure what the whole “lose sleep” thing is about (other than clickbait) but the trailer actually looked fun.

    It will be nice if we have good options for games like this on other platforms. But I guess we will see how the finished product is.

      I haven’t slept in a week man.

      I keep thinking what will happen to splatoon? Will the world turn its back? This is the first time two sort of similar games are on the market. Gaming, nay- capitalism may not be able to survive this attack. What do we do? Should we protest???

      I will be standing at the corner of main and 3rd tomorrow. I’m getting my poster board. I’m getting my markers. I need to let the world know.

      The whole world is watching.

      Yeah not sure what that headline is about, I enjoyed splatoon and thought it was a pretty unique game. More games in the genre is good, spurs innovation and new ideas. No sleep lost unless someone has some toxic brand loyalty. I hope this game does well.

    Honestly for me, Splatoon is unplayable, because the game is peer to peer and it isn’t running on a server. If the host is malicious, he could just depeer you during a match and win the match every time. It have happened too many times on Splatoon 2 for me that I gave up on splatoon, so bring on the copycat games that have the potential of NOT running on peer to peer networking.

    So the Star Player mode isn’t a ripoff of Splatoon, it’s actually a ripoff of Kid Icarus Uprising.

    God I wish they’d bring that game back.

    I really like Splatoon, but absolutely hate the motion controls for aiming, so this might be really nice. Also, Switch owners can still play Splatoon. Those without a Switch (or those who don’t like the Switch very much), can have something to play now. Seems like a good thing to me.
