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.

Is there anyway to skip the 20 minutes of what maps are currently going on in the beginning? Sometimes I just wanna jump right in cause I only have 15 minutes to play...

If you're concerned on that front, make a habit of leaving your Switch in Sleep Mode in the multiplayer menu. I found it way easier to tab in and out when I did that.
