Is this game multiplayer only? I'm seriously considering buying it but I'm not sure if I'm willing to shell out $60 for a game to play solely online (since I don't have any local multiplayer people available)

Dudeman

There is a single-player campaign. It's fairly short but fun and challenging. The main draw of the game is the multiplayer though.

About 80% of the game is all online matches. There's a limited local 2-player mode and and single player campaign, plus Amiibo stuff, but you'll easily spend most of the game online.

There could be more to come later, but it'll still likely be all online content.
Try to do everything; you're bound to succeed with at least one.

Meanwhile, I don't have internet. :P

I've been playing the story-mode and it's great! Heaps of fun, especially since there are human-like CPU's once you get towards Zone 3. Plus, I've got all three amiibos, so I'll be doing every level again with each different one to unlock moar weapons!! :D

So I might pick this up soon, but I have a couple of questions: can two players play in online matches in a similar style of that of Mario Kart 8? And a silly one that has me very concerned though, can you pick any color you want for the ink or it's only orange/purple/light blue?!

I'll most probably get it regardless of that stuff, but just to make sure. :p

Oh, I see... oh well, I was thinking you had a menu where you could select any color for your ink. Maybe in the future. Thanks for the reply :J

Hopefully that's a thing in the future, as well as picking friends-only matches.

Friends-only lobbies are confirmed for August, afaik. We may learn more at e3?

Another stage launches tonight.
I'm pretty surprised with how quickly all the promised content is coming out.

Nebbles

I'm glad we're getting it quickly though.
