I think it would be cool if the Inkling's that chill at the new plaza actually pop up on the multiplayer maps as spectators.
Bummer that there hasn't been much info with playable Octarian's. I really want to know.

Yeah The Switch is less powerful than the Wii U and can't render long tentacles.
Yep, that's exactly why. Uh huh. Of course.

I appreciate this. And I appreciate Smol Judd! May we appease him with turf wars!
There are customizable hairstyles.
Oh, a serious response. Neat.

Guys, this game is going to be incredible isn't it?
So excited just to play Splatoon on hardware that I don't hate interacting with, and with the game coming out so early in the console's life, I feel like it's gonna stay with me for a long time

I wonder if we're getting Splatfests again, or if it's gonna be something different altogether.

As we all know, female forms are harder to model and render than anything else in existence. This includes long hair. Thus, long hair has to be turned into short hair on consoles with, what experts refer to as, weaksauce specs. That is also why, naturally, Bayonetta had to have a shorter haircut in Bayonetta 2 because the Wii U could not handle the long hair. 'Tis the true measure of power for any gaming platform. The length of the character's hair.
I was at the Switch Preview event in Toronto today, and I asked the ambassadors around the Splatoon 2 demo booth if you could play 4 player multi with just a single joy-con each. All of them were stumped, but has it been confirmed yet if you need both? By all rights, the buttons and functions are there, not to mention gyro

why is white ink not an option?

Similar reason why red ink isn't an option I guess.
How would you move the camera though?
You could always play Zelda style and use the recenter button to move the camera around. Not that I would want to. Also, you'd have to move the sub weapon button to a face button.

Does anyone know about local multiplayer yet?
The perfect thing would be being able to play online while doing local multiplayer, in the way that you can on Rocket League.
Otherwise a 1 vs. 1 local multiplayer only Turf War is going to feel pretty empty, and even with four players (which I think is the max that most people regularly play locally, unless they're at a party or gathering), 2 vs. 2 is going to feel similarly dull compared to the 4 vs. 4 online version.

I would love a bot mode similar to call of duty for offline play. That way I can let my child play since online would be too much for her.
Hopefully not. Does anyone like the shrine maiden role?
Have you let her try on her own account? The matchmaking is pretty darn good at putting what I assume are all kids your daughter's age together. Perhaps it's not as good now due to a smaller player pool but even a few months ago it was working as intended.

I'm sure everybody has seen the voice chat news, but posting it here as well: http://splatoonus.tumblr.com/post/156676664164/weve-received-a-report-that-splatoon-2-will-be
Weve received a report that Splatoon 2 will be compatible with an upcoming app for smart devices that enhances online play. This app will link with the game and allow you to set a play appointment with your friends and teammates invited through your social media accounts. It also lets you match up with them directly in the game and voice chat with them too.
For example, during a Private Battle, you can voice chat with all of the connected friends when you divide into teams, but once teams are set, voice chat is switched to communication only between teammates in the same team. Also, you cannot communicate with random Inklings you dont know.

Can confirm that this is a much more accurate translation than what was posted in that other thread. Come on guys.
Still questionable tho, like come on Nintendo.
Oh yeah, I'm not a fan of the half-rimmed glasses frames either. It looks even worse when the rim is on the bottom of the lens for me too.
aaaaaaand another generation of Discord voice chat

If team chat is the only option for privates then I guess there'll still be a place for Discord with SplatGAF, right? Privates are more fun when your victims can hear your victory laugh.
Also, not sure what kind of setup you'd need to pipe this smartphone voice chat into a Twitch stream.

"Milk Tea" team in Japanese Splatfest was pretty much white ink.

I'm curious to see this game played free hand style, with the two joy cons separated. Can you just tilt one con to move the camera/aim?
In Breath of the Wild, that is how it worked. The gyro from the right joycon is the one the game detected.
Oh wow, so there IS a way to play with each joycon in hand! I will actually try this playstyle out before getting the Pro Controller.

Forgot to mention that there will be Splatoon 2 demo matches on Day 1 of Koshien this coming Friday. Probably won't be groundbreaking, so don't get your hopes up.
When fans were peaking into the first game's data, there were colour pallets for red and white ink respectively.
I was under the impression that Callie got bodied so hard during Splatfest that we killed her.

The best thing about Callie and Marie is that their voice actors actively talk to each other over Twitter.
