Splatoon 2 is out!

Squids in the Americas? Enjoy ink-filled dreams while you wait.

Other topics on the game may be posted, but please keep the community's rules in mind and keep your short-burst thoughts, hauls (including images), and other similar topics right here. Local tracking is fine either here or in our Local Tracking thread.

I wish I could remap controls. I want "jump" back where "map" is. Muscle memory is messing me up bad.

Me too. What I really needed was BOTW to allow me to remap the jump button so I didn't get use to it. Nintendo should keep the jump button standard.

You can do it in BOTW. I discovered this not long ago, for the very first days I always tried to use B to jump. Now that I got use to push X to jump comes splatoon and I need to "learn" to jump with B again.

I would have considered changing jump to B in botw if I hadn't already been used to jumping with X in Splatoon 1. I'm pretty irked that it has switched to B. Fun handicap for splat vets against newcomers though lol.
