Here's a fun fact:

In the Japanese version, they finish their presentation with the word "tentacool". The wording was changed for international releases but Pearl and Marina still audibly say "tentacool" at the end even though the text was changed.

Nintendo should just make it skippable. Dunno why people in the thread are so desperately trying to defend it. "It's just 30 seconds if you mash through it!" That may be true, but if you're booting up the game multiple times a week it's going to get annoying. Just give an option to skip it. If you want to sit through it every time that's cool, but not everyone wants to.

If you boot the game 6 times a week, which I imagine is pretty low for a core gamer someone playing it all the time, you waste over two and a half fucking hours a year watching that shit.

Some of us actually value our time, so please shut up.

So how do you feel about 1+ min loadings in another games? think about how much money you could make in that minute

I was under the impression that there are different servers for the game based on your location, and Salmon Run's availability is adjusted for each one.
Sure which may work fine and dandy in Japan which has all of one time zone. The us has 6 time zones and euroland has a whopping 11.

There's a reason why every other game doesn't do this, and it's soley because people don't live and work on the same schedules everywhere. Just because Splatoon wants to ignore reality doesn't make it so that this isn't an issue. The fact that there's even a single player who's never been able to catch a match for the thing says all that needs to be said on the subject, really.

You can't stand less than 30 seconds? Wow. This really is a new level of whining.

And some people stopped playing for that? Holy shit lmao.

The number one reason I don't play much Splatoon 2 despite really liking it. It's just obnoxious.

This:
I feel like they're useful because they're loading the game, unlike this which serves literally no purpose.


And my primary game system is my PC, which has an NVME m2 SSD on it for games I'm currently playing and a small RAMdisk partition for older titles that I can squeeze on it. So please spare me such arguments.

I'm not sure the intro briefing is really as necessary for loading as some people think, since you can get to the plaza without the intro just fine under certain circumstances.

That said, it only took me 1 minute and 22 seconds to get from title screen to match start which is a lot better than some other multiplayer shooters I could mention.

If you think they're 12 years old that's your own problem, buddy. Stop trying to push this shitty narrative.

You are wrong here mate.

https:///wp-content/uploads/2017/12/pearl_marina_splatoon_2_age-800x576.jpg

The whole western "but she's actually a 1000 year old dragon" excuse for designing young female characters this way has been rampant throughout western culture, especially anime, for decades.

You know EXACTLY what you're looking at, and I'll leave it there.

Was going to say have some patience OP it's just 30 seconds calm down but seeing the content and this thread, I'd also be mad at having to sit through the splatoon fanbase's weird fetish material each time so I'm with you OP.

Jesus Christ, pathetic.

It's very annoying. Needs to be gone in Splatoon 3.

It won't happen. Like I said, the people that work on Splatoon like to do those things on their games. It's the same on Animal Crossing which is developed by the same group.

Ah yes, anime, that foundation of western culture.

2 minute unskippable cutscene.

Two minutes? Someone needs to step up their button mashing game. I'd be 40 seconds into a match by then.

Overreacting much?
Repeat after me: It's. 30. Seconds.
I've faced much bigger waiting times in Odyssey and BOTW's loading screens. Or many multiplayer games by that same logic.

Yeah yeah it should be skippable, but still..

This is just pathetic. As I said, if you see them as 12 years old that's your own problem and you should be the one changing that. There's nothing on their behaviour or their design (Apart that Pearl is short) that says otherwise.

Also, lmao at "western culture, especially anime". That just shows how flawed your arguments are.

I'm sure it is, but I'd rather watch a loading screen over those vids. I'm more disturbed over the lack of the option to skip, tbh. We all get to be irrational at times. Personally, I've seen lots of other complaints on the matter as well. Feel how you like though.

"I'd rather watch a loading screen over this"
How childish can you get, seriously?

Huh, so you've experienced longer load times. You do realise load times are necessary right? They are loading the game. It is understandable if it takes a bit because stuff is happening in the background. The loading for Splatoon takes place before that, on the screen with the pink and green and the squids. The "Off the Hook" bit is just to tell you the maps/there is a splatfest, which are either also told to you in game when picking a mode or could be done MUCH faster. It's just a massive waste of time that serves no purpose and just adds up over time. It's completely pointless and the fastest you can skip it still takes waaaaaaaaaaaaay too long.

At least loading screens serve a purpose. It's where the game loads things...

You gonna pay me for that time lost? No? Then don't bring it up. Again: some us actually value our time.

And yes the response was warranted. Dude isn't the magic sunflower he thinks he is posting the same condescending dogcrap scores of others have.
If u value ur time so much that it requires such a response maybe u shouldn't be wasting ur precious time on video games. I swear the hyperbole entitlement in some gamers are crazy. It's 30 seconds. Get over it. Or find a new hobby like games don't regular have things that wastes a players time. Lmao

Actually, Splatoon being developed by the Animal Crossing team is actually good news for OP; they've neutered so much of the charm of the series to please the misplaced desires of fans for greater user experience and to expedite gameplay (see changes to Blathers, furniture movement, mortgages, even fossil identification from the original to Wild World)

He is overreacting but it's still a legit complaint. It doesn't matter if it doesn't take a while it's completely unnecessary. I guess it's there to make the game feel more like an 'event' but honestly I've never seen another game do this.

Now it's a minor gripe as in not enough to lose it points in a review score or anything but it's still silly to be there.

Not Animal Crossing team but same Production group. The only person in a leading position in Splatoon and Animal Crossing is the Producer which is Nogami (and even then, in AC, Aya is also producer). In the past he was director of AC franchise too.

Interestingly enough, you seem to know where Splatoon's loading times take place at, sources?.
Also: 30. Seconds. is that Waaaaaaay to long for you?

If Pearl and Marina are twelve year olds with inappropriate clothing, then Mario is an eight year old with an inappropriate mustache.

It's obvious where it's loading. Launch Splatoon 2 offline (airplane mode, off Wifi, whatever) and it loads straight into the plaza when you get past the pink/green/squid screen. Like, that isn't some shocking insider news or unverifiable thing. And yeah, 30 seconds ontop of loading is too long, it doesn't need to be there at all. Would you like an extra 30 seconds (or more depending on the day) on the top of every game you launch, every time you launch it?

People in this thread keep claiming people are defending it. Hardly anyone is saying it's a great feature. People are saying it's either a loading screen (which is to be expected) or it's not and it's just a minor inconvenience. It's definitely not thread worthy and where is the conversation supposed to go?
OP: "Waiting 30 seconds is annoying!"
Second Poster: "I agree, thanks for finally speaking up on such an important issue."

I mean, if you value your time so much why are you wasting so much time complaining about it? Quit mashing your keyboard and go play Splatoon.

But I was precisely calling the OP out of his/her overreaction. Yes it's an annoyance an there's plenty of people that complain about it, but making a thread about quitting the game for 30. Seconds? Really?

I mean it's 30. seconds. that's why it's an overreaction, how many times you launch the game a day? Usually two or less, because you only quit Splatoon to play some game and come back to it. It's a minor gripe, which is why I find it silly to make a thread to complain about quitting a game for it.
