I'm a bit disappointed you can't customize more private matches, like the time limit, limit to certain weapon types, choose ink colour etc.
Have those restrictions been confirmed?

All Splatoon's missing is LAN support & voice chat with friends.This sounds exactly like what I imagined in my head. Nope, can't be right, there has be catch, Splatoon getting online options right is unbelievable.

Local multiplayer isn't possible online. Not only do you need the GamePad for online (granted, the Wii U can support 2 GamePads, but it cuts the GamePad framerate in half & Nintendo hasn't used the feature as of now), it'd cut the framerate of the game in half (down to 30fps).I love that you can make duos to match up with other duos. It's perfect for my sister and me!
Not sometime, NOW!I really need to pick this game up sometime.
god im glad most people don't think like you. the map rotation is beyond dumb. and private lobbies dont fix the problem at all, what if you dont have friends to play withI hope they keep the 2 map rotation. I've only played 28 hours so far so it's nice to be able to keep repeating the same two maps when I get on, especially when the new maps come out and it's possible to play the new one over and over to learn it and see how people are playing on it. Wouldn't mind them setting the rotation to every 2 hours instead of every 4 hours though.
In games with map voting sometimes a lot of maps never get picked.
Private matches are here now to take care of allowing everyone to play their favorite map though
About LAN, it seems we get someyhing close:All Splatoon's missing is LAN support & voice chat with friends.

Private Battle: Two to eight friends can battle together in customizable matches. Private Battle also allows players to hold small-scale custom tournaments using up to 8 Wii U consoles and games on a single Internet connection.

or random match rotation where you can pick your weapons in the lobby, oh wait you cant do that either. I love this game but the problems it has are pretty bad and its community is incredibly apologetic to what ever problem it has.Well, is that or a voting system, and if you ever played a online fps with voting system you know how bad it can get, basically I only see de_dust2 whenver I play CS:GO.
Is chat included somewhere in this update?
We still don't know the reason why Nintendo accidentally listed voice chat for the upcoming Japanese test fire, do we?
nope

Can't win 'em all.
Though it would've been nice for the Private / Squad Battle, at least.
I don't think Octolings will be added just because so much effort will be required to fit headgears to their model. How would an octoling wear a beanie? Too much effort for something cosmetic that doesn't really fit the current setting. Maybe in the sequel.
may be have them have an special ability or something so we cannot equip anything in the head? that would pretty much solve the problem
that, or a head gear that swaps the head model of a inkling for a octoling
is there an upcoming testfire in japan or something? was there mention of the voicechat??
Pants instead of headgear maybe?
Though again, personally I think it's too much work that could be spent on making the current inklings more customizable.
I wonder if Urchin is particularly broken with the bucket weapon type (which is apparently new and isn't on disc). I doubt it's a coincidence that Urchin is being changed when we're getting a massive update.

Based on this image, I'm pretty sure the settings are barebones and are pretty much only the mode, the map, and the teams.

Yes, but wouldn't colors etc be part of the "team". They already announced that it can be set to things like 2 vs. 3, so why not color options as well?
At least when it comes to maps I don't think there any left on disc.
Japan's having a week-long testfire period to bring in kids who are just starting their summer vacation. Voice chat was listed as a feature on some kind of page related to it, either on the eshop or Nintendo's website, but it was quickly removed.

New Japanese Testfire 3rd to 9th of August, 1 hour each day. The first description of the app download on the Japanese eShop apparently had voice chat listed, but it was removed quickly by Nintendo.

GAF has a community thread for splatoon that is very active, there is also reddit and other boards, plus online clans for splatoon. Seems like it should be pretty easy to find people to play with.god im glad most people don't think like you. the map rotation is beyond dumb. and private lobbies dont fix the problem at all, what if you dont have friends to play with

The (pseudo) LAN Support is interesting, though for some reason I fear lag could happen. I don't know how or why, nor even know enough about servers to understand if it's impossible, but I still have my worries.
Oh yeah, more good news from the nintendo.com article.
The update is actually coming out on August 5th for NA folks. Rejoice!
It should work similarly to LAN in halo MCC, as long as the Internet connection is steady and the Nintendo Network isn't having issues it will be fine. Splatoon is p2p so one of the LANed Wii Us will be elected as the game server and the match should play with very low latency as long as all players are in the LAN.The (pseudo) LAN Support is interesting, though for some reason I fear lag could happen.
