If the nintendo voice chat app works, I'm just going to be using that.

Is it expected to? I kinda assumed for the splatfest that it'd be PUGs as everything else won't be ready for primetime.

Oh, they aren't launching the voice chat app on Friday? For some reason I thought that was rolling out with the game. Bleh.

I don't actually know, which is why I was asking!

Edit: App will be available July 21st when the game launches. So, not this weekend.

I'll be curious to try the Nintendo solution to see how it works, but for this weekend I'll be on whatever you all are on.

We have a Discord? I thought everyone was using The Application Formerly Known As Curse

Evidently we're using anything and everything.

Yay fragmentation!

I'm hoping to be around Saturday. We're going to see Spider-man and I haven't looked to see if they're doing the usual 1-hour windows, so I have no idea what my availability is for splatting.

Times for tomorrow's Splatfest.

Here I thought it was an all day thing, but evidently it's just a limited time frame. 6pm to 10pm on the East Coast.

I'll probably be on for the last hour or two. #TeamIceCream for life.

I'm glad it later rather than ealier so I might be able to join. #teamIceCream HYPE!

I'm torn. Technically I like cake better than ice cream, but I am frequently disappointed in the cakes I do end up eating (why do people buy such rubbish cake?) whereas I can't recall a time I had ice cream I disliked.

It will have to be a coin toss.

Dude. I'm gonna have to make you a cake.

I went ice cream, but purely for frequency of consuming.

I could eat an entire cake myself.

There's a place in Nashville, Jenni's Ice Cream. It's like eating magic. #teamIceCream is gonna CREAM #teamHalfBakedCakes!

(who knew talking smack would be so much fun)

#teamicecreamcake

Reviews going up today. Although, for such an online focused game I'm not sure if the reviewers experience can be compared to live.

Edit: Seems pretty good

I'm in for the game regardless of reviews, so I looked at the snippets on Metacritic. It's amazing how blind some reviewers are. There's also claims of too little and one of too much. Others mentioning how there's missing online functions (the app still hasn't launch, people). At least ign has the decency to withhold it's final score for now and acknowledge the app may change things.

I keep forgetting this is coming out on Friday. Guess I need to get my order in so I can play this weekend

As much as I love saving money, this one's getting a digital purchase. I'm going to want it available anywhere my Switch is.

It's Fudgie the Whale!

It's no Cookie Puss, but then again what is?

Some info on the app:

Kind of vague about whether you can voice chat with strangers or not.

Knowing Nintendo I think the answer is obvious.

Online app is up in Google Play. Downloading now!

Can't find it by searching for 'nintendo' on the play store. Search just shows the other official apps and some knock offs.

If you have an OS lower than 4.4 it's not going to show up at all.

This is how I found out I couldn't get Pokemon Go.

I've got 6 and searched on my phone and via desktop chrome browser. I have the app installed now, thanks to the link. Still does not show up when searching for "Nintendo" apps. It does show up when I look at the apps from Nintendo.

Got shipping notice from Amazon this morning!

Going digital so I'll either stay up late tonight waiting to purchase and download or will purchase and download once I wake up in the morning.

I will probably dive right into the single player first, actually. The opposite of what happened last time.

I've got that Nintendo Switch koolaid drunk going on, so despite being horrid at most shooters, I am apparently in on this.

I too will likely start with the single player, just so I don't get wrecked too hard off the bat.

My wife and I un-cancelled our preorder for Spla2n this morning. It should be arriving by Wednesday.

I hope we made the right call...

Tomorrow :O
