There is this thing called a mute button. That would be the best solution. But Nintendo are forever worried about the children. Some day they'll catch up with the 21st century.(23:59, 31st December 2099)

You say that but like Blizzard are super uppity about communications in HoTS, and we all see what communication boils down to in CoD, or PUBG. Rocket League goes down the chat wheel route but with the option to type or speak too, typing and voice is generally only used by assholes to berate people, and yea the chat wheel is used for like passive aggressive nonsense but it's far less of an issue than some prick on voice or chat calling everyone a [insert whatever you want here].

As much as I love my Nintendo my 'main' games have always been online PC games; Dota, WoW, CS and more recently RL, Overwatch, PUBG, HoTS. And I don't know anyone who thinks that overall that way communication is bastardised by the 'communities' of each game is a positive thing, they are almost all pure toxic.

Any word on another Test Fire event? Last one was March right (correct me if I'm wrong)

So one thing I don't understand about the Splatoon Research lab is (Splatoon Campaign spoilers)

since it's revealed this is set in the distant future, how do they research it? Time windows?

Ace Attorney

Will Splatoon 2 have local multiplayer?
Sickened I could never play with/against my missus in the 1st game

Sounds like Salmon Run in Splatoon is tough as nails. The difficulty can be changed by percentage, and even on 5%, poses a challenge. The Nintendo E3 themselves could only get to 40%.

Might even buy a pro controller for this, I noticed the motion controllers are a lot sharper this time round, I cant play with them. I've over 1000 hours on the original splatoon.

I'm looking forward to trying it with the 8bitdo, so far I'm loving the controller, and I'm not a fan of motion controls at all.

I got the FC30 Pro, which is very nice, though it lacks motion controls and any force feedback of any kind.
It's battery wouldn't be as stellar as the likes of the Pro Controllers from Nintendo either, but it's still fine, just remember to charge it.

safetyboy

Wow that looks slick, where do ya get them from? I'm getting one today.

Since when? I always get delivered to them. In fact, Amazon sent me a mail asking me to make sure that my PMID was correct so I would get the delivery!

It's possible that it's a 3rd party seller than won't ship to a PO box address.

When's this out??
