My Switch will be with me but I'll actually either be working or in the air at all of those scheduled times
The map they used in show floor demos (Reef) has definitely seen some changes. Maybe something else too! Who knows?

...hate me...
Silly Switch things:
Had previously downloaded the Splatoon testfire with a JP account, right.
But when it now dropped on EU, I deleted it to download from my regular EU account.
Except it doesn't let me. It marks the software as "purchased" for my EU account as well (silly thing #1), there's no way to download a purchased software from its page (silly thing #2), and yet doesn't list the software on my list of purchased software to re-download (silly thing #3).
So there's no way I can get the software from the EU shop right now, I had to download it again from the JP shop.
I mean, in the end it's ok because it's surely a universal binary but yeah. Kinda wanted to attach the app to my main account's history :/
There can be maybe the workaround of deleting my JP account from the system and try again, but that's too much trouble.
At least I learned something from it... to not download software from other shops if I play to download it from my local shop at some point.

the Wii U testfires went really well. there was one hour where nothing worked but they extended it an hour when it was fixed. other than that everything went well.

Splatoon 1's global testfire was perfectly playable, if a bit more glitchy than the final game ended up being. One of the Testfire's was impossible to play for the hour they originally scheduled, but then they left it open for a second hour during which time everything worked fine.
Downloading now. Top tip: If you are connecting to the web via a portal (Hotel in this case) be patient. Took a full minute to register and launch the browser. I was ready to quit thinking it wouldn't find it.

I remember the testfires for splatoon, everyone had great first impressions with it, it was a fun time and it sprouted memes almost instantly

Downloaded and ready to play. Thing is I've never played it before so most likely to stink at it!
Well that gives me enough time to determine whether they're squids or whether they're kids.
🤔
But they're teens now. See how stylish they are!
Hopefully I can get a Switch before the testfire begins. Splatoon is my favorite multiplayer game ever, can't wait to experience the sequel.
this is my first splatoon experience

I know it's gonna be a great/fun game, but I'm still hoping to notice some degree of graphical improvement from the first because the gifs/streams obviously don't do it justice.
the lighting looks better and the inkling models look higher poly
that's all I've got

This game is going to be something big. My son saw the icon on the switch and his eyes lit up. "Oooooooooh SPLATOON!!! Can I play?!?"
Sorry son. not yet.
Sorry son.
not yet.I expect it will be this effect squared. New players will likely be on the receiving end of veterans split between a buffed roller and a new advanced weapon. And as before new players themselves will be most effective with rollers.
By the way, are we sure rollers won't be OP? Those are some nice buffs; I'm considering maining it at this point.

Yeah you can. I don't remember Exactly where the button is but in the e-shop there is a settings panel that shows you what you've downloaded from the shop, and if it's not on your switch it will let you re-download.
Thanks. I found out it was stuck in my JP account.
ROLLIN' AROUND AT THE SPEED OF SOUND!

Rollers are still the only weapons I can use. I have tried almost all of them and always suck. Can't splat other players to save my life and never manage to paint much of the stage. The rollers are the sole reason I love Splatoon.

Man I really hope my dodgy left joycon doesn't give me any issues in the heat of battle.
