I'm new here, this is my first time posting and it might be a stupid question. Sorry if this is a little off topic. I was all set to purchase Splatoon this Friday, but I read something in a review that has me questioning whether I will purchase it or not.
The review was from forbes.com and the guy reviewing it said,
"It was weird to have friends over and want to show them Splatoon, yet the only way for even one other person to play was Splatoon’s weird 1v1 deathmatch “training” mode, which isn’t even splitscreen and just has someone using the gamepad screen. There is no way to jump into the game’s 4v4 mode with a friend, nor three friends, which is bizarre seeing as that would be an incredibly fun way to play."
So is it true that if you have a friend over you both can't play online at the same time? Or was he talking about playing locally?
Unfortunately I was unable to test it out last Saturday because of Nintendo's server issues. I figure this would be the place to ask.
