Is it only online or is it also local multiplayer?

Splatoon will have both local and onlime multiplayer! This is Nintendo after all!

I hope the game has more modes than the one they showed off. Like a free for all, or team vs team (with kills counting as points instead of the amount of ground you covered in ink) and capture the flag. Otherwise this will be a repetitive game.

online.

its 4 vs 4 at the moment

There is no way Nintendo would have shown that much of it in their DE if it was just some one mode game. They apparently want this to be big or at least try to make it so.

The Demo is just a gameplay test for E3, which seems to be going well enough.

I'm not claiming this was the only mode? I'm just hoping for a lot more! And with Nintendo you always have to watch out for massive disappointment! 



If I had to guess, I'd get that the game is only online, but that you can have four local players on a team. So you can't do 2v2 local, but you can have four friends together playing against four others online.



media has responded positively to the game

 

"Only this one play mode was in the demo, so who knows what other features are in the final game (a single-player story you’d assume, but nothing was mentioned). But based on the demo it was one of our most entertaining multiplayer experiences at E3, and undoubtedly the most original. Whether it’ll have the impact as other multiplayer classics like Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. we can’t say, but it already seems to be of a similar calibre"

"To be fair, Nintendo has only just announced the game, and won’t say how the actual online multiplayer play will actually work; in the past, the company has shied away from giving players voice chat, and their online match-making and friend system is still less than perfect. But if they can replicate the experience I had playing with people who were in the same room, this game is going to have a lot of fans."

get hyped peeps, the only complaint is the off control, but Nintendo has plenty of time to tweek the aiming and controls



Offtopic but there is already Rule 34 for this game 10 minutes after announcement.
