so do you get into a promotion series once you hit 100 /s
So that's what recon mode is? That's nice I guess, but I really want to hear something about a party system. Kinda worried they are talking about private rooms or MK8's style of joining friends when playing with randoms.
Rank indicates how boss you are? Guess I'm getting an A+ rank. ( ͝° ͜ʖ͡°)

are you ranked by the number of kills or the amount of ink you place on the ground tho?
i like how their research has slowly gone from "our field researchers report..." to "the IT guy's daughter hacked their servers" to "we're digging through their trash now"
* to be fair actual anthropology involves a lot of digging through trash, but not usually of people who are around

Quick question, is online playable off-tv on the gamepad? If so how do you do the jump around the map thing when playing off tv?

I don't see why it would be about kills when the game isn't about kills and doesn't even have any indicators for your KDR.
No, we don't know.

Tank sniper?
Ah yes, Squeak, not squeek (no idea why I wrote that, ha ha). The clean part would explain why the research thinks the bottle looks like a bottle of detergent, ha ha.
Maybe (hopefully) it'll be as simple as hitting (-) to toggle off-tv mode, pressing the map and toggling back.

granted we don't have KDR but deaths or takedowns are part of the gameplay most people will play this game wrong to start with focusing on kills rather than painting the area
it will take some time before people start focusing on the true goal
I still think kills plays a good part of slowing down the other team from a victory so having play a role in the ranking system is still a valid question simply because it is a thing in the game

ranks are probably gonna be based on just win/loss records lol
and of course kills matter, they always do
and of course kills matter, they always do
No one is sure how ranking works. Wish Nintendo would explain what all the numbers mean.

このブキは「スクイックリンα」。
インク圧縮タンクを小型化し、短時間でのチャージを可能にしたチャージャーだ。
ひきかえに射程は短くなったが、威力はキープされている。
掃除用洗剤のボトルに似ているが、洗剤が出るわけではないらしい。
https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/587549106232360960
スクイックリンαの映像を入手した。
スプラチャージャーと比較して、チャージ時間と射程の違いが確認できるだろう。
見た目での差は小さく感じるかもしれないが、実戦での使い勝手は変わってくるそうだ。
ご確認いただきたい。

This weapon "su Quick phosphorus α".
The ink compression tank is miniaturized, it's charger which enables the charge in a short time.Although range was shortened to exchange, power is keep. It is similar to the bottle of cleaning detergent, but seems does not mean detergent comes out.
Scan Quick video of phosphorus α I was obtained.
As compared with the spline charger, it will difference of the charge time and range can be confirmed. The difference in appearance might feel small, but the usability of in combat I hear varies.

Ranked battle report redux! Weve just intercepted a flurry of Jelonzos text messages (fyi he uses A LOT of emoji) that confirm, without a doubt, that Inklings must earn the right to fight in ranked battles by reaching Level 10. It sounds like the points required to raise ones level are earned in both regular and ranked battles by ones accomplishments and results on the battlefield. So new splatters with their sights set on ranked battles will need to hone their skills first in regular battles and get that level up! (As for me, its time to level up my sandwich with some of this spicy mayo I found in the office fridge.)

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
Now that's my kind of gun.
Their sharped tooth smiles (squid beak?) are too cute.
And ahhhh I feel like I will never play ranked battles.

Splatoon Tumblr update
Inkling fashion report! Check out this Inkling girls outfit. Cool, right? I told you fashion was paramount in Inkopolis! See how her hair color matches both her skirt and gun? That is some serious attention to detail! And look at how blinged-out her weapon is. Sooo cool! Im suddenly questioning all of my own fashion choices. Maybe its time to move on from my usual sweatpants and Hawaiian shirt look

Nintendo felt the need to share ten facts about squid
The beginning of Squidtoid, probably
Did you know Splatoon is going to release kind of soon? Nintendo's fully aware, and it wants to make sure you know too. But, it doesn't have any game-related information to share on April 14, 2015, so it sent along ten facts about squid.
Goddamnit, Nintendo.

Goddamnit, Nintendo.
Squid have gills just like fish. They are often mistaken for octopus. While the two are similar they are different types of creatures.
Every squid has three hearts. They also move through the water tail first instead of head first.
The ink sac can be triggered to release this black substance very rapidly.
The Humboldt squid is very aggressive and will even attack sharks in the water.
The only predators that giant squid have are sperm whales.
Some species of squid are able to glow in the dark, which makes them easier to spot in the dark waters! Research shows this is due to them having bioluminescent organs.
The giant squid have eyeballs that are the same size as a standard basketball - a helpful defense mechanism in the water that allows them to spot their surroundings more easily.
Squid are believed to be the fastest of all invertebrates in the world. The giant squid is the largest invertebrate in the world.
Even though 300 species of squid have been identified and classified, it is believed there are at least 200 more that still need to be evaluated. Now that's a lot of squid!
Some species of squid have been found to live more than 13,000 feet deep in the water - that's about 43 football fields in length.
Bonus Fact: Edna the Fighting Squid is buried at the 50-yard line of the football field at Pete's high school.

A game that isn't out can't be getting a price drop. Like Captain Toad, Mario Party and plenty other Wii U games, Splatoon is gonna be 40 here, like I said earlier...
New tweet:
コイツの名前は「タコスナイパー」。
遠距離から狙いをつけ、吹き矢のような兵器で強力なインク弾を放ってくるらしい。
当たるとひとたまりもないので、狙われたら物陰に身を隠し、インクの中に身を潜めながら近づくのが得策なようだ。
yep, in EU you can officially pre-order Splatoon for around 40 bucks, 50 for the Squid amiibo bundle. I've pre-order it yesterday.

The name of the guy is "octopus Sniper".
Give the aim from a distance, it seems coming off a strong ink bullets in weapons such as blowguns.
Since Ichitamari also crying hits, if you are targeted shadows hiding in, it seems a good idea that the closer while hiding in the ink.
