Personally, I found the "Kids these days probably think of this as cool" aesthetic endearing.
I do too. It's hard to explain, but I find it awesome.
That might be why so many people in their 20's like it. It has a very 90's feel to it, which exactly matches that "Kids these days probably think of this as cool" aesthetic. Nintendo certainly caught up with video game mechanics with Splatoon, but they're still stuck in 90's pop culture.
Which isn't a bad thing by any means, the 90's has a very unique and endearing style to it.
squishybrick
What would you define as "kids" these days, because the majority of people who play this game grew up in the culture of the 90s making them adults.
Yeah, but there are a lot of college students who could be called 'kids' these days; It's all quite relative at this point.
I didn't really like the whole "kids these days" aesthetic. It felt like Nintendo opened their curtains in 2004, saw what Power Rangers did with Dinothunder, and thought "let's put that into a video game"
"Complaint...
...compaint."
Ok, I'll be honest, that got me.
+DimentiosLoyalest he actually said 'cum-paint ' lol
Yahtzee: "Complaint ... Compaint."
Me: "I love you Yahtzee."
DimentiosLoyalest i only heard Ink-Redible and ink-reasing.....
You're an imp now.
You're a squimp now.
Crispy Toast a squimp sounds like something i would stay far away from in fear a caching gingervites or some other disease
I see.what you did there.
I see.what you did there.
Crispy Toast shirmp?
YOU'RE A CHILD NOW
YOU'RE A CEPHALOPOD NOW
"But that's hardly a complaint...compaint."
He sounded so disappointed with his own pun X D
I'm disappainted you used "XD" unironically.
he was disapPAINTed with his own pun.
@@gulorful8488 beats the crying laughing emoji tho
@@LSSTyranus you will probably feel PAINt when you come back to this 5 year old comment
@@helloiamenergyman 🤣
"Get your fucking story straight." I love that outburst, it came out of nowhere and makes me laugh. Way to go Yahtzee.
Actually, yes... yes you do put ink into a roller. This is how you get ink on your plates when you are doing monoprints.... or if you do old fashion printing. It's not that I don't think that it's paintball, either, but you do ink rollers.
KensanOni Old fashioned printing is performed neither by kids, now, nor by squids, now SIR YOUR MOTION IS DISMISSED
KensanOni In the words of Yahtzee, fuck off.
Harsh :-(
Mostafa Shahin Because the internet is filled with hardcases that can't ever show another emotion than anger, right? Shit, maybe you actually are right.
Squids and kids --two things the Japanese seem to love more than anything else ;)
Too true.
Paradox Acres I'm glad I'm not the only one who made that connection, old sport.
Paradox Acres The inspiration for that game was a hentai and they just change the cum for lots of painting
Paradox Acres ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Yer a kid yer a squid yer a kid yer a squid yer a kid yer a squid....
"God knows why it keeps making ink puns"
Because you can't make that many puns with "paint"
"Though that's hardly a complaint... com-paint."
I stand corrected.
this vid was ink-redible
cyto lpagtr *clap...clap...clap...*
***** clap clap clap
cyto lpagtr i paint you
cyto lpagtr I thought it was Fuck-ink fantast-ink
That Guy*facepalm
Yatzee what I think you don't understand about the earth shattering genius of splatoon is that you are a kid but you are also in fact a squid.
A mechanic that goes back decades. How innovative.
Wait a second. Did he just imply that a singleplayer campaign in a multiplayer-focused game was a bad thing? WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH YATHZE.
I think the main issue is that the single player in Splatoon is about as bland and forgettable as Dutch toast.
except the absolutely ludicrous final boss
Nova Solarius Granted, it's only purpose is to teach you the mechanics in preparation for online multiplayer. So as long as you learned the mechanics, it can be found forgettable as seeing a black spot on an NYC sidewalk
I have the nagging feeling that part of the reason he was dissapointed with the final boss is because he played with the bland European localization of DJ Octavio instead of "You slimy little hipster!" face remixer DJ Octavio.
Nova Solarius ... excuse me?
You're a kid now, you're a squid now!
Darticus the Great You're a lizard Harry.
I don't play Splatoon...
CapnTates - Jean-Luc Picard
Darticus the Great Star Trek is awesome.
CapnTates I know. The force will be with you.
atomlib You know that's not Star Trek.
Cod audience : Adults
Splatoon audience : Kids
Cod players : Majority are kids
Splatoon players : Majority are Adults
anyone else noticed this?
xET3RNALx xEVOx That's because kids want to act grown up and adults have crossed that bridge, realized it's shit, and are desperately trying to claw their way back.
xET3RNALx xEVOx
"Splatoon players : Majority are Adults"
You keep thinking that.
xET3RNALx xEVOx I've noticed. In the form of massive waves of splatoon based pornography
xET3RNALx xEVOx I blame how kids always want to be taken seriously and adults just want to have a good time before returning to the soul crushing grind of work.
Yeah it's the same with pokemon
Yahtzee are you feeling okay? You don't normally praise a multiplayer shooter...or Nintendo games. I think you might be sick.
DeathThePlague From what I can tell he normally doesn't like multiplayer shooters that much as there ALL the same. With little to no difference what so ever. If you played one CoD multiplayer shooter you played them all. With all the little kiddies cussing and screaming included.
DeathThePlague He doesn't normally praise anything at all, mind you.
Asier Suarez True but I mean, he especially doesn't praise multiplayer games, shooters, or Nintendo games. And Splatoon is a combination of those 3 things.
DeathThePlague It's different in all respects. Most Multiplayer games have lots of interaction with your team or friends, Splatoon doesn't. Most shooters have you killing people or completing objectives, Again, Splatoon doesn't. The Nintentdo sticker slapped onto it doesn't really matter at this point because it's very different to thier other games.
DeathThePlague I was convinced he doesn't like video games at all unless they're obscure adventure-platformers only 5 extremely British gentlemen have ever heard of on ancient computer systems.
No Squid memes? Yahtzee you sure you played Splatoon?
Sage French His internet connection probably refused to load them :P
In Australia if someone across the country downloads a JPEG the entire internet shuts down.
Source: I'm Australian.
The only squid memes I know are:
Here's a squid, any ideas?
and
We've seen enough hentai to see where this is going.
TheGermanBritish Guy what about "we are octodads legitimate children"
I have an Inkling that he didn't play it. Eh? Eh? I'll see myself out.
Well that's the most positive review from this guy I've ever heard.
I do think it goes to show what happens when Nintendo actually tries to be creative
Yep
Did you never see his revew of undertale, or portal?
@@caidenlipoth1247Zero Punctuation: Undertale
Undertale is a good game.
You clearly haven’t seen his review on wolfenstein the new order
3:33 Thank you to Nintendo and to GAMETRADERS ROBINA for bringing me this excellent game
My guy friend's house
Blimey, that's an old reference.
"Reports are in that Halley's Comet has been sighted, and appears to be making a trail in the shape of the winning lottery numbers. BUT IN EVEN LESS LIKELY NEWS, NINTENDO HAS COME UP WITH AN ENTIRELY NEW FIRST PARTY IP!"
God I love this man. XDDDDD
I can't help but feel like the black bar in "Thanks to Nintendo and *** for bringing me this great game" could have been replaced with GAMETRADERS ROBINA. Missed opportunity
You're a kid
You're a squid
You're a kid

GoldenCycloneGaming WHAT AM I?! WHAT AM I?!!!?!!
GoldenCycloneGaming Darude Squidstorm
Mike DiLoreto You're a squid... Kid.
You're a kid.
You're a squid.
.squid a You're.
.kid a You're.
I hope Yahtzee does a review of Life is Strange when it's finished.
Everyone is an unlikeable bitch! TEH END!
UnBR0k3enAngel "TEH END"? what does TEH mean? :P
Name? I dont care. And neither does anyone else TEH: a ridiculously hilarious way of spelling 'the'. :P
Dancing Dead hopefully. But this is the fucking dry season - which seems less dry than usual.
x1StapleGun Dry like California?
why, that was almost a positive review...
Max Koski Yahtzee isn't much of a reviewer, he's a critic, and a critic's job is... y'know, to criticize things. That doesn't mean it has to necessarily be negative, but if there ARE negatives he has to mention them and, in this case, take the piss out of them for good measure.
Max Koski I really wanted it to be 100% negative but that's simply because I despise anything that doesn't have much content, things that are cheesy and because it is one of Nintendo's many repetitive games that will probably have ten sequels someday. I know I could just avoid the game but where is the fun in that?
Azure Kite Yahtzee admitted he is an entertainer first and a reviewer second. Which is all well and good. I enjoy his videos. It's just when he gets something in a game factually wrong for the sake of a joke that inks me, I mean irks me, a bit.
Owenzz Well it's still too early to say if it will get plenty of sequels but it honestly wouldn't surprise me either, considering it sold well.
Calamity2007 When did he get a game factually wrong for the sake of a joke?
I'm pretty sure the only thing I hate about this review is that yahtzee admits to liking rollers. Then again, he is the kind of person who would use one.
Squid Kid What's wrong with rollers?
Michael Patton I mostly only have problems with dynamos, for... obvious reasons.
Carbon Rollers. 'Nuff said.
Dynamos are pretty garbage though.
"Is that big dog still there"
That was unexpected and hilarious
Nintendo seems to have a routine with me and their consoles. I never buy them, barely caring about what's on them. Then one game comes out that I *REALLY* fucking want then I get their console and I buy the rest of their games so I don't feel as gypped.
Splatoon is that one game. Damnit Nintendo.
DR_LaZer nice Dangonranpa pic
DR_LaZer I am gonna be real with you though, Mario Kart 8 and Hyrule Warriors are masterpieces in their own rights. So you wont have to feel very gypped at all if those games manage to tickle your knickers sufficiently.
DR_LaZer what about Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warriors and Super Smash Bros 4?
Alky II I never really liked cart racers. (Or had the friends to really enjoy them with.) I'm not a fan of beat em ups. And other than the fact that I can fight as little mac, Super Smash Bros 4 slipped past me like a bar of soap on ice.
DR_LaZer wait for the imitators?
Before playing this, I was surprised that Yahtzee liked this, at least as much as he'll admit to liking most Nintendo games.
Now, having finally played it, I can see why. How could anyone NOT like this game?
CoDfags don't like this game
Reid Follis people who just hate multiplayer games in every way possible could hate it
Ok
thats hardly a complaint.
...
....
compaint.*
"is that big dog still there" man yahtzee that was deep
Where's Skippy? I missed him so much.
Uiharu Kazari Did you forget that Kangaroo meat is a healthy safe alternative to beef?
Uiharu Kazari In Yahtzee's tummy.
Uiharu Kazari If I was a gambling man, Skippy's consumed and digested remains are in a sewer system, while Skippy the third is starting to wonder why he is named "the third"
Uiharu Kazari On the basement, limbless.
The music is kind of catchy, especially the Squid Sisters song at the end.
The final boss is really intense, I didn't expect that kind of battle in a Nintendo game... de geso.
Junoh Productions Mmm, and those delicious puns. "I'll remix your face!"
Rusty Shackleford "I'MMA _DUBSTOMP_ YOU INTO OLBIVION!!!"
DROP THE SEA-BASE
Rusty Shackleford "You slimy little Hipster!"
Yeah, I dare say it's one of the best Nintendo final bosses in recent memory....Well, him and Zanza
Still pissed this didn't make the Top 5 of 2015
so glad you're making more of these. :D
"How many checks do you think he's cashing?" LITERALY laughed out loud.
2:24 Had me rollin' on the floor laughing, if it was me I'd just ran right over the bastard with my paint roller so he's the same shade of color of the floor as my paint!
I love coming back to the Escapist channel after a while to see all the new zero punctuations and then watching them all.
Mollify Mollify sounds like a band from the 80s and Backtrack Backtrack would be their debut album.
...Not to mention that the single player is only FOUR HOURS!
Exacly
Damon Katumaru and thats if your good my brother who has an account on my wii took him about 6 hours
coolchrisable Ah, took me a while to decipher: "And *that is* if *you're* good. It took my brother, who has an account on my Wii, about 6 hours."
Now it's readable.
CapnTates ty my friend sorry i'm not good at English ( 2nd worst subject well on the grammar side) but its nice to see you put effort into it :D
Damon Katumaru It's actually 8.5 hours if you 100% it.
Have you played it in the last few weeks? I was surprised that you didn't mention Ranked Battle with Splat Zones. That's a bit of a different experience from turf war.
I literally watched all of your VR videos last night then this is uploaded this morning lol. Love you
I really love that your videos are so short :D
Lol pls do an E3 episode.
Tarik King oh no, please not another E3 episode.
kyotheman69 there is a difference between game developers and the consoles! I mean one game from bethesda was already shown by microsoft, i won't disagree about bethesda having the best show this year but from CONSOLES sight microsoft was best, because they got at least some good games for THIS YEAR exclusive, while sony as good lineups for the following years, but this year there are nearly no exclusive titles.....and i won't speak about nintendo
Tarik King remember how the ZP episodes on youtube are always 2 weeks late compared to the escapist page? Its probably already done and will come up in 2 weeks on youtube.
Tarik King Hatred is next on YT, maybe in next week.
Tarik King Did you watch a game trailer and think that you liked what you saw? Well, you didn't, everything is shit and you're stupid for liking things.
There, I've just summed up his E3 episode.
can't wait for the inevitable splatoon 2 zero punctuation
It's on the Escapist website!
I have no idea why, but "But that's hardly a complaint, come-paint." Part gets me every time! XD!
I generally enjoy your content. Thank you for producing it.
Just got a notification from my phone that this was uploaded 0-0
Miiverse, more like memeverse, AMIRIGHT?!
Bacon Pancakez Well, you aren't wrong.
GonBluV You're feeding his ego. STOP IT!
Bacon Pancakez No, that is strongly accurate. Have you checked out the "Support Your Character!" communities in Smash? lol
Jinsei Cast Yeah... All those Falcon dicks and Sanic drawings.
Bacon Pancakez
You gotta be kidding me...
Just like Toriko from Last Guardian and Amaterasu from Okami, his photoshop approximations of Inklings are amazing.
I Feel like this was the best review you have done in a while.. meby you actually played this game and maby you did it without being drunk for ones. thank you, this was premium.
Haven't played it but it looks like a kid friendly version of team fortress where you can only play as the pyro with a paint can instead of a flamethrower. Still buying it though.
edwin serrano there is a sniper two but that is only really good in certain modes, but yeah its like TF2, Mario Sunshine, and jetsetradio
edwin serrano There are sniper guns and grenade launchers too.The standard splattershots are closer to SMGs and Assault rifles, and the paint roller is a melee/shotgun.The inkbrush is demoknight
edwin serrano paint rollers are like pyros (but stronger), paintbrush is like scout with a bat, chargers are like snipers, blasters are like weaker soldiers, everything else is like varying degrees of range/rate of fire of a sniper with an smg (or more like various SMGs and assault rifles in other FPS's)... and the main game modes are 'capture point except the entire map is the point' and king of the hill. so yeah, kinda comparable to tf2? but definitely its own thing
Sorry guys when i posted it i completely forgot about the other wepons my bad.
I'm pleasantly surprised by Yahtzee's review! I've been playing Splatoon pretty regularly and I've been having a lot of fun with it. The online multiplayer can get pretty frustrating, and I do wish there was a better way to connect with friends or even have a bigger local multiplayer, and I hope they raise the max rank from 20 sometime soon, but overall I think it's pretty great. The story mode was fun, and playing it also helps out a lot with the online stuff because it gets you used to the game mechanics.
Boy. This gave me quite the chuckle.
This vid is so colourful it reminded me of somewhere over the rainbow with paint obviously.
Can't wait to see the Nintendo E3 reaction
(Spoiler Alert: It was shit)
TheGoodzGamer Personally, I quite liked Nintendo's E3 presentation. It was far more engaging than the others, but that's like saying shoving a piece of dog shit down your throat is more fun than shoving a dump truck full of dog shit down your throat.
I mean, christ, Halo 5? Advertising pre-order bonuses less than 30 seconds after the game is announced? Fucking Microsoft plugging Ford in their press conference?
Fuck, at least Nintendo was trying to advertise games the whole time rather than pre-order bonuses and Ford cars.
Melody Anonymous But in the end, the Metroid / Animal Crossing bait and switch topped everything else in terms of shittyness.
TheGoodzGamer That's true.
It's like Nintendo spent most of E3 charging up their bullshit cannon and advertising good stuff to fill the time, until that massive blast. I'm not a huge fan of Metroid myself, but that was god awful and Federation Force looks 'ehhh' at best.
Part of Metroid Prime was this idea that you're trapped and alone, fighting for what you can. Federation Force seems to ape Metroid Prime's gameplay mechanics and then throw a layer of forced multiplayer focus onto it which misses the point entirely.
However, Star Fox Zero, Triforce Heroes, Xenoblade Chronicles, Fire Eblem Fates and Mario Maker all look pretty bloody fantastic.
***** Have a seat and chill. Did you /need/ to get up at 2AM? Did you /need/ to listen to entirely unofficial sources regarding leaks?
Rather than buy into the hype machine and set yourself up for disappointment, just relax. Look at coming announcements and events as the passing things that they are.
When NWC2015 was announced, I didn't care for it. But having watched it and found it pretty cool, I had a blast with it. But other people expected it to be some earth shattering competition, and those people were left with nothing but a disappointed sneer and ruined day, because in the end, nothing can ever be as good as you make yourself believe it'll be.
Melody Anonymous I'd say Sony won. They had the most amount of 'oh shit' moments in the conference.
0:25
so basically that's how ryu and cloud join in.
nintendo : WE NEED TO ADD 2 NEW CHARACTERS HURRY
staff : so why not add wolf into the game.
nintendo : no way laddy that's a bit too predictable. ah fuck it, im gonna steal another playstation 3rd party mascots, and maybe steal their most recent exclusive character aswell.
also get corrin a call.
he's practically the only franchise that can sell much and kill an entire army.
staff :....really.
For those not in the know, they've released 2 maps & a ton of weapons since this video was made. There's also a Splatfest faction war event this weekend (or last weekend for the Japanese). They're releasing new stuff on a weekly basis, & they're looking to be releasing stages on a bi-weekly basis.
I watched this on the Escapist Website like 3 minutes before it came out on RUclips. If I knew it was going me to be up that soon, I would've waited for about 3 minutes and watched it here
Huh, you're Australian... I always thought that you were English. Sorry, I was merely distracted by that one single line of your video... feel free to ignore me.
Logan Snider He was born in England and moved to Australia
***** it all finally makes sense
***** do you know why? ._.
Kevin V I read about it somewhere but I don't remember the reason anymore. You can probably find the reason if you Google about it
oh.. thanks! :D
Squids these days probably think of this as cool.
I love it when Yahtzee has a conversation with himself and the game he's reviewing.
3:40 - That Totalbiscuit jab xD
Yahtzee got one thing wrong, most of the miiverse posts either involve memes or erotic pictures.
This is like the first ever good review of a Nintendo game.
by far the best video Yahtzee has done in a while
I always like it when the Mogworld player voice comes back
this review is so "ink"omplete
kill me
I see additional content, both free and not, coming soon...
They have already had several free updates, and have added about 4 new weapons and at least two new maps in the past week or two!
AllenJ137 I know, I have Splatoon. But the game still needs more content, as far as now there's not enough. Btw the singleplayer is lots of fun, Yhatzee is satan
Yeah, I all thought that the single player was pretty great. It was fun, but not amazing. The final boss fight WAS amazing though, which makes me wonder if he really was paying attention during it. That boss' difficulty, music, and everything else about it was just a ton of fun.
Checking back here after the end of the Wii U online. How time flies!
That deer hunter bit was hilarious.
It's Ironic how little kids are playing Call of Duty (An M-Rated Game) and adults are playing Splatoon (An E 10+) Game.
I'm playing Black Ops 2 and I'm no little kid.
Because CoD is currently more oriented towards kids (while still sticking to it's adult shooter core) and Splatoon is made to be FUN.
Oh wait, i'm supposed to hate nintendo. Uhm. Uh.
SPLATOON IS SHIT AND EVERYONE WHO PLAYS IT IS SHIT GO FUCK YOURSELVES NINTENDO AND STOP MAKING GAMES BECAUSE I HATE YOU.
Oh jesus, is my inner child showing again? ... *goes back to CoD*
Leon Alexander LOL
Ugh, Nintendo are so ink-ompetent
Best review this year so far.
To be fair, the different clothing items give different power ups and stuff, like one that makes it so the enemy team doesn't know you're jumping in and so you don't get splatted the second you hit the floor.
This game is a lot of fun! I would highly recommend it!
Their bodies were reggie
The game updates quite frequently. Since launch it has already gotten 2 new maps and 4 new guns. And ranked battles of course.
My strategy with the game is to utilize a gurilla type attack. Pass enemy lines and sneak around spreading my teams ink as I go.
Assassin's Creed Rogue. Just get it over with.
Please
Silly, next week is probably the E3 video.
And for once I actually feel as cynical as Yahtzee generally is in his E3 videos, and he generally hams it up a bit. I can't wait for the shitstorm he's gonna spew this year.
Rouge is old as shit by this point, he doesn't have time to review *every* game.
Yea last year's e3 vid was just left me depressed
LordB8r They aren't gonna get paid to do a last gen game and if you are begging for an episode of this game, might as well just go out and get it yourself. If you liked Black Flag and won't miss the multiplayer, it is almost the same game.
I had a roommate who had an irrational hatred for this game.
thank god for past tense amirite hahaha
CartoonWarStudios He probably still hates this game. I found it weird because he was real into moe (mo-ay), but he was the epitome of weaboo trash.
+Cowboycomando54 those darn weeb-trash
Had?
Digital Toaster He moved out, and I told him to fuck off the day he left.
I wish I could afford a Red Kangaroo internet, I have to tie my satellite dish to a brood of Funnel Web spiders
2:11 is one of my favourite ZP rants.
Glad I'm not the only one who encounters over-leveled Japanese players.
I played only enough single player to get the weapons and got the hell out of there.
danekarl So you finished it...
The Miners Actuallly, you get weapons from each boss..
The Miners you need certain scrolls to get the Aeroprays. Get shit on scrub:
www.primagames.com/games/splatoon/tips/how-unlock-every-weapon-splatoon
***** nope only beat 3 bosses. You need certain scrolls to unlock the aerosprays
www.primagames.com/games/splatoon/tips/how-unlock-every-weapon-splatoon
danekarl Alright. GG.
When you put it like that, it sounds like an episode of the Pink Panther
I love his ink based rage at the 2:12 mark. Also, Splatoon yelling at Yahtzee at 2:56
Do life is strange.
When it's done, maybe?
Ahh sailor he did resident evil revelations 2 which wasn't complete and he reviewed bloodbourne when he didn't finish it
Mostafa Shahin That's true..... yeah, he should do Life is Strange
If he did it would have to be after the E3 and arkham knight videos
I think Yahtzee is the first to predict inklings in Smash bros.
3:43 lol oh man please stop I'm dying here oh my God you fucking nailed it lol
That was a lot more positive than I ever expected.
Im gonna be unoriginal
Cod is for kids
Splatoon is for adults
BEST RUclips channel EVER
0:23 is that Alf Garnett from Til Death Do Us Part? yahtzee you are the man
watching these are hilarious without sound
With all the new DLC you should def do an update on it, with more horrific squid memes
The reason for having two maps at a time is so that you can better prepare ahead of time.
Though granted, I would like the swap time to be shorter than 4 hours.
I hope this game is in his top five this year
Gotta love that deer hunter reference
OMG! I just watched Barbara Pun-kelman IV and now this. XD
You really inked up those ink puns, but don't worry I think we can just brush over that.
Thanks to Yahtzee, the escapist magazine and RUclips for bringing me this great video!
I can't wait for your E3 reaction.
