I think there's only two announced 2 online multiplayer modes so far. There's the standard turf war 4 vs. 4 battles and Splatzone 4 vs. 4 battles where one team has to defend a designated area of the map and keep it covered in their team ink color while the other team tries to take it over. This is basically a king of the hill mode.

Oh yeah, forgot about Splatzones. Hope there's more, too.
Correct.
And if Mario Kart and Hyrule Warriors are any indication, they most likely won't be unlocked any other way.

I expect a lot of the Single Player features we have not seen in Multi-player to get in later like the ink-wire line to traverse from one platform to another I expect those features to show up at some point even late DLC

Two close up shots of the Splatoon amiibo
Actually look pretty good. Better than quite a few Smash amiibo

The gameplay in the above link is from the Splatoon site: http://splatoon.nintendo.com/
It has been changed a lot.

That would suck. I wanted to team up with friends and chat over skype while playing.
Article in gamasutra says we can't..
I meant gamenesia, I was okay with voice chat...
But I can't play with friends/gaf....?? What??

Damn it, Nintendo. You got such a great idea for a game involving playing with a group.......but now you can't have private lobbies of just friends & such? Why?
Hell, I could excuse voice chat cuz Skype, but come on, when MK8 & SSB have online, both of which also have strong multiplayer elements & allows you to make rooms, why not this?
We need to get some clarification on this.

Actually, now that I look at it again, yeah, it kind of sounds like you can't change the rules, it's just a normal match. Plus the title is talking about the customization of the multiplayer.
We need to get some clarification on this.

Please read again. It claims you can't customize your match. Not that you can't play with friends at all.
Also. We have a seperate topic about that now. Keep the complaining there and save this topic for updates

Fantastic, from what I can tell it looks like they fixed the problem where the ink didn't align with the paintbrush.
It's hard to tell if these are prototypes or massed produced, but these amiibo's look beautiful.

Saw that on the site and wanted to save it as a picture but couldn't, it's so awesome.
FYI, Squidboards.com has launched from the Smashboards people
They are working to set up a competitive scene for the game.

今週末の「ニコニコ超会議2015」で体験できるステージの情報を入手した。
1日目は「ハコフグ倉庫」。
ステージ中央の開けた場所が主戦場となるだろう。
障害物や裏道を利用して、相手に気づかれないように行動するのがコツらしい。
I got the information of the stage that can experience in the "smiling super conference 2015" this weekend.
First day "trunkfish warehouse".
Center stage of open location will become the main battlefield.
By using the obstacles and back roads, it seems trick is to act so as not to be noticed by the other party.

2日目は「アロワナモール」。
メインストリートの脇にいくつかの分かれ道が延びており、中央の高台に繋がっている。
高台の制圧も重要だが、ここは四方八方から狙われる激戦区。
いかに相手陣地に攻め込むかが勝利へのカギとなるだろう。
On the second day, "arowana Mall".
Some of the fork on the side of the main street extends, it is connected to the middle of the hill.
Battleground hill of suppression also are important, here to be targeted from all sides.
How would either Semekomu in opponent territory is the key to victory.

Tell that to the people complaining in the other thread.
It's weird, why were IGN able to talk about "no custom lobbies with friends" (whatever that means). That would presumably be under NDA like any other details regarding friends. Or is that avoided because IGN talked about something that isn't there?
I feel like being secretive of how online works as a whole isn't helping. I think it's okay to not reveal every mode early, but a lot of people don't even know that there are more modes outside of Splat Zones and Turf War cause they never made that clear.
Nintendo needs a proper way of playing with friends. They need a lobby feature with an invites.
What's really weird is that "no custom lobbies with friends" implies that there are lobbies with friends. So...why is it that people are now confident that there are no lobbies period?
I think that Nintendo likes revealing everything very close to the release date in order to keep the information fresh for everyone (though this could also be for other reasons as well). So I think we will get a Direct answering most of the questions around 2-3 weeks before the American release date. The only question is if people go in excited or wanting to find something to hate about the game.
Nogami basically said that people are going to find a way of doing voice chat on their own in his US Gamer interview, which implies that there is some sort of way of playing with friends and forming teams.
It's kinda silly to think that it's just going to be random/ranked matches only after reading that interview.
I hope so, cause that will definitely sink the game. GAF tournaments would be awesome.

There was never a release date.

Anybody watching the show in Japan?

Bunch of interviews with devs and personalities. I think they had the guy doing the music there. There were some really nice 1 to 1 shots of the motion aiming.
But other than that and a new quick tutorial, it was stuff we've seen already.
