Arm proud of you, would there feeling you you want to dive into this mode striving to be first. But, until it is flush enough "apt population", please wait for some time now. Elapsed after the date of sale, we will continue to report at any time. If prowess of everyone, it would not take much time.
So, ranked mode unlocked after X days, even if you're level 10?
No problem, I have plenty of amiibo stuff to unlock anyway.
 
Made this for Azure J:

Didn't get a chance to say it in PMs yet but thanks man. Great job. :)

I can't imagine it'll take too long for enough people to reach level 10 and it gets released. I'm sure it'll be out by the end of this weekend, assuming it isn't a completely unreasonable barrier for unlocking.
 
Could someone please splat my avatar?

So hype! Probably gonna do nothing but turf war until I hit level 10 so I can contribute to the total "geese population." To me, it sounds like they're just saying everyone needs to wait until enough people are skilled enough, but even if it is going to be a set number of days after launch I'm not sure I'll be able to keep myself from getting there day one :P

なんだこれは?イカがパンパンに膨れ上がっている。 食べすぎか?怒っているのか?と思いきや、三英貿易から例のイカのクッションが発売されるらしい。全2色だ。 「いやいや、イカのクッションて」と思うかもしれないが、これが意外とカワイイのだ。

What is this? Squid has ballooned to Pampanga. Or eat too much? Or angry? I think Ya and, apparently squid cushion of example from three British trade will be released. But all two colors. "No, no, squid of Te cushion" You might think, this is it surprisingly cute.

ガチなヤツらがガチで勝敗を争うエクストリームなオンライン対戦「ガチマッチ」。 ランク10で参加資格を得ることができるが、遊ぶにはもうひとつ条件があるそうだ。 それは全世界でランク10に到達した「ガチ人口」が一定数に達するということだ。

Extreme online play that geese guy et al contend the victory or defeat in the Gachi "Gachimatchi". Although rank 10 can obtain the qualifications, but so to play there is another condition. It's that reached the rank 10 in the world "geese population" reaches a certain number.

腕自慢の皆さんは、我先にこのモードに飛び込みたい気持ちがおありだろう。 だが、十分な「ガチ人口」が揃うまで、今しばらくお待ちいただきたい。 経過は発売日以降、随時報告していく。 皆さんの腕前であれば、それほど時間はかからないだろう。

I must admit the digital version is tempting: the game size is small and it's the kind of game you launch daily for a few matches.

For previous digital + physical game releases on Wii U, was there any advantage going digital in regards to load times ?
 
Anyone knows if you can make the actual game audio come through headphones via the GamePad headphones plug while online? My best guess is no but it would be wonderful if anyone could confirm it one way or another.

The Testfire let you do that, right?

Ye I will do turf war till level 10 then singleplayer until the ranked matches are open.
 
ShopTo just dispatched mine, so should be here tomorrow or Thursday!

Then i'll trade it into CEX or GAME on Monday as I just want it for the Squid Amiibo and going Digital.
 
I was really uninterested in Splatoon until I played the global testfire. It was so much freaking fun! I'm going to purchase digitally on Friday (or preload if that's available) and I'd really love to get a three-pack amiibo set, but I get the feeling they're going to be impossible to find.
 
When is the review embargo up? I am interested to see how this reviews. I'll probably pick it up, but I might wait for later in the summer when more multiplayer features have been released.
 
Are there any good deals on this? Someone is going to the states and I guess I could ask for them to bring it if it's worth it. Lower price tag hopefully, not gonna make someone carry a squirt gun

Same here. I bought digitally and preloaded (you can download it immediately after buying--at least in the US anyway) and can't wait to fire it up on Friday.

I had a ton of fun with the MP. I suck at competitive mp shooters, but did fairly well in this playing a Roller and focusing more on painting a ton of area while my teammates helped with that and went after enemies. My team probably one 75% of matches, and after the first two or three of learning the ropes (I only played this last testfire as I just rebought a Wii U Friday) I finished 1st or 2nd on my team most matches.
 
Burst Bombs are actually great for quickly splatting enemies in close range, something the 3K probably has trouble with.

Just mentioning this because you're not the first person who has said they aren't any good.
I don't mind admitting that my first impressions of the Ink Balloon have not been very good when it was paired with the Splattershot. I don't like the stats on the Splattershot when it's compared to the Jr., but I don't think the Splattershot has a problem with enemies at close range. Bomb Rush or whatever the special is called with Ink Balloon also feels sort of redundant.

Ink balloons being the close range answer for a Charger weapon has some logic though.
 
so those with the disc ersion can play single player?

yes, but nothing else at all.
the shops kick you out by saying you need to be online and so does every other option.No servers yet for retail disc owners but i'm guessing it'll be up on thursday.
This is the first game i've got a week early but it's been slightly pointless because 80% of the game requires a server.
 
Nintendo UK dispatched my bundle this morning! ... With Yodel, so who knows when I'll get it.

So looking forward to it, this thread has only upped my excitement :)

I was honestly shocked that i couldn't even browse the items in the shops, very strange.
Each shopkeeper tells you to come back when your 'online', same thing happens when you try multiplayer or talk to the urchin guy/cat, i think it's due to the servers not being up yet.
The advertising warning at the start of the game leads me to believe that the shops stock is being held on the server and will eventually change to include famous brands of clothing.

Ink balloons being the close range answer for a Charger weapon has some logic though.
Basically, the base Splattershot beats most things at range, but has lower damage over time than other splatter type weapons like the Jr. or .52 Gal. If fired upon at the same time, the other weapons will win in burst or will always at least trade in lag compensation situations. The splat balloon helps even out this close range disadvantage and helps make the weapon the premiere all rounder for general combat situations; it's exactly like taking an assault rifle and being the first assaulter in other games. Of course, balloons don't provide area control or denial, which is why I personally dislike them and will prefer to specialize (Roller coming through).

Won't it be sometime tomorrow because Japan get it on Thursday, which is like Wednesday for EU and US?
