Megaton. Cool to have. I hope this means Splatoon 2 is earlier in the year than later.
Great idea of Nintendo to do this close to Switch launch. Can't wait to try it.
Is this the US times converted for UKGAF or is it when the UK/EU sessions are on?

Oh, shit. I thought that guy in the marketing thread was joking. So down for this.
They did the same for the originals testfire from what I recall.

YES! The old guards are going to slaughter new players.
Summer release means June is the earliest.

Awesome. Thanks. Got my calendar appointment in. So excited, I wasn't thinking of getting to play Splatoon so soon on Switch. I wonder if there is / if I need a tutorial mode?
To be fair weekend betas don't have the same purpose as a server test designed to monitor its performance under high stress.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
I mean, splatoon's online was pretty great overall

I believe the Wii U test fire began with a quick tutorial.
Yeah, my hope is June! Expecting July/August.
For a 6 hour demo? Wow.

Nice. Thanks.
I'm guessing this would be that 'extra push' for him, not sole reason.
Also, how about that ARMS early access too?
Looks like he just converted them, from u.s times, because theres nothing on nintendos social media about a uk release

Awesome, can't wait for this. My birthday is on the 27th so a nice pre-celebration weekend treat haha. Bring it on!

...hate me...
Stress test. More people online simultaneously rather than spread throughout the weekend.

Cool, as someone who's never played it I'd definitely like to see what the hype is all about.
It's to test server load by making people have to connect at the same time

This was expected for Splatoon and I remember the first demo being this super rad event on Twitter everyone was talking about.
But I'm wondering about demos in general. 1 2 Switch needs one I believe, but what would you put in that demo? You can't just offer the best minigames for free unless you add an arbitrary play limit like on the 3DS.
Zelda could have a limited version of the grant plateau as a demo.

Is this a parody account?
All your posts seem to be copies of a post from the first page of whatever thread you post in.
