Splatoon Splatoon Global Testfire returns in Japan for a week

[Jake]

This is pretty cool. It's nice that they're still going to do test fires for people uncertain about getting the game. Not really much else to say I guess but it does have potential to come to the west.
I personally wouldn't mind paying the test fire again a few times if it did come here again.

Why only in japan.... There are already tons more japanese players than everyone else >_>

 

[Pokemanz]

There are people in Japan who don't have the game?! Every lobby I join I'm the only person with my name in English.

This will largely depend on the time of day. I get Japan-only lobbies either early in the morning or late at night. Otherwise, it's mostly non-Japanese names for me.

haven't really been following much so idk about NA and EU, but AUS just announced the testfire will be back

 

[Azza]

I wonder if we will be able to play with people who are doing the testfire....

I doubt it. If that were the case them demo would need to be updated to include the content from the game and it's size would probably get too large

That's too bad. I was looking forward to a few easy wins :3

Lucky I still have the demo version. Anyways, those times are actually really bad for me. I'm either eating or sleeping during literally all of those times.

Totally agree to testfiring again. Don't agree to it being "Japan Only." I mean sure I was unsure at first at getting Splatoon now, but I freaking love it zel.

(...Although I never participated in a testfire)

o herp derp i just realized that the stupid times probably mean that NA and EU will join in too since those times will complement those countries better.

if you read the rest of the thread you'd know that it's not just japan only anymore

 

[Jake]

yea, its back for EU as well so it'll prob be back for NA (if it hasn't already been announced)

Don't forget, the #Splatoon Testfire returns tomorrow and runs until 28/08! See when you can play here: http://fal.cn/BbLm

tbh the test fire is a good idea but they need to make a demo that doesn't have the online features. maybe give it a level or two from the single player mode

Oh, I totally agree on this particular point! Single player might be kinda short, but it's not a bad idea to give a taste of what the mode is like.

It's back in NA for sure, I had to double take when I saw the email since I thought it was an error.

This is a cool idea for those who don't have the game, but I don't see the purpose for those who do have the full game unless you can transfer the money you won to the full version. That would be cool too.
