Splatoon Global Testfire Impressions

5 / 12 / 15

In a surprising turn of events, Splatoon, Nintendo’s brand new IP for the Wii U, is one of my most anticipated games of 2015. Why? I’d be lying if it wasn’t largely in part of the game’s amazing aesthetic, but the idea of a shooter based around paint guns instead of real guns is really appealing to this cute, peace-loving blogger. Though I was pretty much committed to picking up Splatoon day one, when Nintendo announced they’d be hosting a Global Testfire, I was more than happy to jump in on so I could give Splatoon‘s online multiplayer a spin.

The Testfire was available for three one hour periods this past weekend, allowing players from around the world to play in online matches with a selection of four different weapons and two different maps. While Nintendo gave very little notice before the Testfire commenced, I was able to play during the first session, which started at 1 pm Saturday Australia time. I’m pretty helpless when it comes to shooting games, both first and third person… but even though I only won the very last game I played, I still managed to have a blast!

Chie Shinkyu's 72-Year-Old Mikako is an episodic light comedy manga about an older woman living on her own and writing a diary in the form of DMs to her deceased husband. This may sound sad, but Mikako is always on the move, and her life is full of joy and friendship. (1/2)

Uh, no thank you?? 😝❌ But actually, Taiga is Uh, no thank you?? 😝❌ But actually, Taiga is definitely one of my fav characters in Variable Barricade! It’s such a fun game if you’re looking for a goofy romantic comedy with generally low stakes (though I might suggest skipping the true end all together… more on that in my review, coming soon!) ⭐️⭐️ Tune in for the Variable Barricade stream on @aksysgames Twitch tomorrow 3pm PT (Thursday US time, Friday 10am Sydney time) for their launch stream! I’ll be there along with @blerdyotome and some other very cool folks!

Sharing art + making a video = ANXIETY OVERLOAD 😫😅 Anywaaay, I loved this screenshot from ACPC @cozynamie took so much that I tried recreating it with two different mediums! Colored pencils were my first attempt, gouache second. It’s good practice to do the same piece a couple of times! Thanks again @cozynamie for letting me use your screenshot as a ref 💕

Continuing my 3DS appreciation posts 😆 I recent Continuing my 3DS appreciation posts 😆 I recently learned that the Kid Icarus Uprising box that comes with the 3DS stand goes for quite a lot of money online! 😱 It’s one of many games in my backlog that I haven’t had a chance to play yet. Do you have any rare 3DS games in your collection? Bonus: swipe to see the game under Strange Journey!
