Hoping for date, and maybe amiibo info though they could also do a Splatoon-centric one in May with that I guess.

Well it isn't in Japanese, that's for sure. Looks like a fake language, IMO. Close to Russian though.

I wonder how all these fake ads will get integrated. Probably just in the hub world.

時々調査報告に出てくる「スプラトゥーン」という言葉の意味がわからなかったので、調査員に訊いてみた。 ５月に発売される、イカを原材料にしたスナック菓子らしい。 今までイカを敬遠していた人にもオススメの新商品とのことだ。 美味しそうだ。
Google translate:
Sometimes so did not know the meaning of the word come "Splatoon" that out to the survey report, I tried to ask the investigator. Will be released in May, it seems to snacks that the squid to raw materials. The thing with the new products also recommended to people who had shunned the squid until now. But delicious.
Sometimes we don't know the meaning of words in investigative reports in the "Splatoon" language, so, I tried to ask the investigator.
Looks like there'll be a snack candy made from raw squid to be released in April.
Even to people who've shunned squid, this product is recommended.
Looks like it's delicious.

Sorry, rushing a lot and a lot of vocab I don't know.

I think it translates to:
"Splatoon uniform costume is too cute."
Splatoon Amiibo Pack, Battle Dojo & May 29th Release Date Announced
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1021924
I didn't see it posted yet, but in today's Nintendo Direct it was announced that Splatoon will be getting it's own brand of amiibo.
The amiibo are being sold in a 3-pack that includes an Inkling Boy, Inkling Girl & Squid. Alternatively, you can purchase separate boy & girl amiibo as single figures. These are to available when the game launches on May 29th. I almost forgot! When one of the supported amiibo is scanned into the game you will receive a set of challenges to complete, depending on your amiibo. Upon completing these challenges you'll be rewarded with exclusive clothing options, including samurai armor and a schoolgirl outfit.
Limited edition box includes a Squid amiibo and is only available in Europe.
Also announced was the Splatoon Battle Dojo where-in you and a friend can hone your skills in a special 1v1 match that features a different set of rules than we have previously seen. In this mode, each player's objective is to pop more balloons than their opponent. In this mode one player will play on the TV and the other will be using the Gamepad. This mode will also use the same maps that are available in online multiplayer.

If anybody is interested the paintbrush gameplay is @ 2:17 here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLgUmfIMbJM
I love the look of that map.
Damn, that is fast.
Yeah, looks like its a lot faster than the roller, at the cost of only covering a fraction of the ground.

You and I. How dumb is that armor? They should've gone with the cute route. :/
Probably only in this mode...

イカ研究所からの調査報告だ。
「ガチマッチ」とは、勝敗にこだわる者たちが編み出した過激な対戦モードらしい。
ちなみに、これまでに紹介してきたナワバリバトルは、「レギュラーマッチ」と呼ばれる対戦モードのルールだそうだ。
https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/583560461087444992
ガチマッチのルールの１つが「ガチエリア」。
フィールド全体を塗り合うナワバリバトルとは異なり、限られた面積のエリアを奪い合うルールらしい。
狭い範囲に両チームが群がり、激しくぶつかり合うことになるそうだ。
乱戦は必至だ。
