I just gave you the video where he said it... It's the final question. 


No he didn't. The question was regarding the customization of rules and features on game types, "assuming there are more than one." The dev said there would be "more advanced options" for advanced players. That was a response to customization, NOT the existance of extra game types/modes. He's basically saying that they're considering letting you customize the rules to the one game mode. That doesn't even slightly hint at more online modes.

Eh, it obviously does... He even says that right now they only have 4 vs. 4 territorial  control game, but they'll have more advanced options for advanced players. What do you think that means lol? If you start your sentence with "right now we only have this" then that means there will be more in the future.

I hope you don't think they meant adjusting the timer with that... Because that's the only thing they could possibly change with that mode.

Has there been any confirmation of local multiplayer yet?

No, he says more advanced options, not types and not modes, for a question asking if you can customize the rules and the features to game types. (modes) He mentioned Turf Wars because that's the only game mode they were showing at all at that point. Wheh specifically asked if there would be other game modes, they only mentioned Single Player and Local.

"So can you customize the rules and features for game types?"

"Of course we are thinking of other online modes."

That's what you are saying happened. That didn't happen, and it wouldn't make any sense if it did, because that's not the question being asked.

The question never mentions online and the response never mentions online or modes or types at all. You're literally making stuff up.

Yeah. 1v1. Which is stupid. There should obviously also be a local 4 player mode as well.

It's called interpretation.
Please tell me what rules they could possibly change for this territorial control mode?

There will be more modes.

More online modes = more options. You're also pretending as if no information is lost from the english to japanese translation and vice versa.

Wait seriously? You can't have a group of 4 squids per team and only have a max of 2 players. This doesn't seem very Nintendo to me....



This game looks like it's going to scratch my Tony Hawk itch.

That's good because I haven't been able to reach that one for over 10 years.



Game is looking more interesting. Hopefully we will get more information on singleplayer and online modes.

This and Devil's Third might put Nintendo on top in the 3rd Person shooter genre this generation!


You forgot about the 3DS 3rd person shooter game made by 3 indie companies (or something like that)


You mean IronFall?

It's a poor interpretation. I'm not pretending anything. Why would I know what rules can be changed? Maybe an option to turn off stat boosts on clothes. Maybe an option to switch from lives to stocks like in Smash. We barely know anything about this mode. The translator knows what was being asked. No amount of "lost in translation" is going to change an answer talking about rules and customization options to and answer talking about extra online modes. You're reaching for straws that aren't there.

Extra online have been dodged in every question where it's been asked, including this.
