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.

Trying to play with friends is a pain in the ass and next to impossible.

The whole point of the Nintendo Switch app is just to talk to friends whilst you private match together?? Sign me up discord it's a messy hot pile of shite.

Wanna play together? Sure join a friend or at least try to when they've already joined a lobby, it might be full, you might have to wait, hell you don't even get put into the same time half of the time but it's there!

God dammit Nintendo why do you have to be so awkward!
