Yes, we still have a forum.
Everything about it feels like a dreamcast game.
Since I first laid eyes on this, that has always been my impression. I'll even take it a step further and say that the WiiU reminds me of dreamcast.
I really don't see much similarities between them?Do you think this sounds like Nagamuna's work?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjatC7ABiJQThe musics might fall in the same genres but that's about it, he's style seems a bit too different from that. The Splatoon stuff comes off as being pretty minimalistic compared to his work and the rhythm is all over the place, Nagamura's work is often a bit more focused.
Oh yeah forgot to say, played the game at Eurogamer and it indeed is a fun title, Wii U owners are in for a treat.
