My impressions ...

It's more Splatoon ... which I really enjoy so it's great. Controls are quite smooth but feel a bit different when you switch to handheld mode. Still perfectly usable. I tried playing in different configs, on TV, handheld, tabletop mode while using Pro Controller.

Pro Controller is great, butter smooth. Lack of the map is initially a bit weird, but once you get used to X-button map and jumping to teammates by being able to use the gyro controls it's really great. The new Splat-twooie weapon is cool.

Graphics are about the same as Wii U, maybe a touch better, but it's about the same thing from what I could tell. I think it looks a little better on TV mode than handheld.

Nintendo is going to make a ton of money with this game though, especially in Japan. It's going to be awesome to be able to play with friends LAN style too. This is a winner for them, I think it's going to be a big time killer app for the Switch. Hopefully they can have it done earlier in the summer.

Nice to hear that controls are smooth and easy to use. That's pretty important for a game like Splatoon (that heavily relies on gameplay). About graphics, from what I've seen they improved it significantly, I think it's just that it has an art style that makes it dificult to notice improvements. Take a look at this picture, the tree, for example, seems to be dramatically improved:



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
