I really dont understand considering 1m userbse should be enough to leave open every modes.

It's not you VGpolyglot, I've lurked these forums a lot and seen a lot. At least to what was accessible to me a previous non-user. Besides I don't have the time these days for forum posting like I have in the past :)
Splatoon rules! I'll wait on a official ruling on that mode thing!

lol I'm trying to emulate people that white-knight Nintendo. In other words, sarcasm.
Hopefully they only replaced it so EVERYONE can try with this new mode once it came out. And the next day or in 2 days, both modes will be available.
But yeah, very ODD thing to do. They could have also made Splatzone into the regular battle with turfwars.
Edit: And hopefully the would fix this issue before SPlatfest begins.
Pocky Lover Boy!

According to the zero punctuation review this was known from the start. There will be 5 multiplayer modes but only 3 will be available at any given time.
Even so, doing this and even being open about it, which they arguably were, is nonsense. Maybe they thought it would have low sales so there wouldn't be enough online activity to sustain more than 3 modes at a time and have people get into matches with low wait times. But damn, now that the player base is of a decent size they should be able to drop that restriction. Either that or they haven;t dedicated enough online capacity to handle more than 3 modes.
Nintendo, holding itself back since 2000.

I knew when i bought this game that my content would be spread out over time. But they never told us about taking content back(well, other than that map rotation). I'm dealing with them releasing it over a period of time. But once you give us a mode, I expect it to be avaliable for the rest of the game's life. |
Oops my previous post is wrong. It is map rotation not mode rotation that was mentioned in the zero punctuation review (which was very positive by the way, except for quirky shit like map rotation, and shitting on the single player campaign). So yeah, seems like mode rotations was not mentioned before, which is pretty shit if it's not an error. Hopefully it's just an error.

To be fair, most games with six modes only ever have one or two actually populated in public playlists. I can see some logic to the mode rotation if that's the case. People seemed to be ok with the map rotations, which I find more annoying.
Does splatoon offer private matches? If so you should 100% be able to choose from all modes in that.

Not until august, but I guess you will be able to choose whatever you want to play with your friends then, they said the matches will be customizable too.
If this stands this way is kind of bullshit, but maybe is only a one day thing to make the people play the mode, not sure though.
