No one's talking about the new Splatoon news? You'll want to.

Wait, if there's no CPUs in matches what happens if one player like drops out? Does the whole match end? Some people might have disconnects too. Pardon my ignorance, I'm not too big on online gaming.

Also... no communicating with players.... Um, isn't it 2015?

Nintendo's done discrete replacement of dropped players by CPU in many of their games for years, actually. Brawl and Mario Kart Wii featured it, which was continued to Smash 4 and Karts 7 and 8, so likely that will happen here, but neither of those games will populate an incomplete match with CPU players upfront.

 

In regards to no communication, how do you get around the fact of screaming trolls and the endless stream of profanity that voice chat inevitably becomes? The whole affair just seems unpleasant from whenever i've seen it.

the industry standard is a "mute player" option.
