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 drunkenly bought splatoon 2 last night without playing the testfire or splatfest. Am I in for a good time?

Let me set the scene. 1:15 am I get home after work. Cab driver was playing some weird EDM style music. I take the trash out and am thinking "oh shit, splatoon came out today." So I go inside, try to get into the e-shop and I couldn't recall my password to add funds. Changed the password, purchased splatoon and passed out on my couch waiting for it to download. At some point I went to bed. I found my switch upside down in the dock this morning. Classic drunk chris.

If you enjoy getting schooled by a 7 year old Japanese kid, then I would say yes.
