Splatoon Global Testfire Multiplayer Gameplay May 9, 2015

Nintendo launched the Splatoon Global Testfire Demo tonight at 8PM PST for exactly one hour and oh boy was that hour intense.  We got to take a pretty good look at the gameplay for this unique multiplayer Wii U title, and here is some footage of our experience playing the game.  All footage was directly captured off of a Wii U system in native 1080p.

First up here’s the character creation and training mission, which all players will get once they start the demo.

And here’s a little gameplay for you.  This is a game of Turf War on the Saltspray Rig.  The objective of a game of Turf War is to cover as much of the game environment with your team’s color ink, while preventing the opposing team from doing the same by any means necessary.

Splatoon is coming later this month exclusively on the Wii U.

Maniac’s Thoughts on the Alan Wake 2 Prototype April 25, 2015

What follows are my thoughts on the demo and why I think Remedy chose to release this information now.
