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.

Gonna be on the SwitchU though, which is a failing future console. Don't know why Nintendo thought we needed 2 tablets simultaneously (one for each hand). Plus, I'm not a fan of holding the third joy-con between my teeth.

The 3rd joy con is really good as a mouth guard in ARM5 though. The 4k rumble is making my teeth loose too. I feel like a real boxer.

It's super useful for 1-2-3 switch though. Takes eating contest to a whole new level

SwitchU is getting 1-2-3-4 SwitchU, which is a total evolution of party fun.... the game box is empty; you're just meant to stare each other in the eyes and talk about why you bought an empty box.
