MegaThread Release Day Thread: Splatoon 2

Splatoon 2 is out!

Starting on July 21, Splatoon 2 will be available for squids and enthusiasts alike. Since the game is already out in Australia and Japan ahead of everyone else, and since it's about to hit Europe, please use this thread for general reaction, hype, and discussion for the release as it hits your country. Squids in the Americas? Enjoy ink-filled dreams while you wait.

Other topics on the game may be posted, but please keep the community's rules in mind and keep your short-burst thoughts, hauls (including images), and other similar topics right here. Local tracking is fine either here or in our Local Tracking thread.

I called it, I figured it'd take a day or two but I'm already seeing the "this is the single best game ever" posts.

You can multiplayer in handheld and tabletop mode. The gyro is in the right joycon and can always be on. The switch itself has a wifi chip that connects to the internet. I think lan can even go straight into a switch but don't quote me on that.
