yeah in about 10 minutes they'll start rolling out
Mine is at home waiting for me, was surprised it arrived so quickly since it dispatched yesterday morning.
May or may not be leaving work early as a result
I've had an alert set for the page and no, they haven't yet.
I already ordered at Walmart but Amazon would be my preferred choice...
They should change out every 4 hours.
For online, maps shift every 4th hour. EDIT: beaten.
don't they swap every two hours or whatever? which probably won't start until the game is officially released

Mine is despatched now (I thought the game collection were supposed to send an e-mail) but even if I have to wait until the official launch date I only paid £22.70 for it.
So for now there are some twitch streams live. You can see quite a few new weapons
being used mainly by the level 10+ Japanese opponents.

I've not really found a stream to stick with though.

If you ordered the from the Nintendo UK store, yes they had a bundle of that. But the Nintendo UK store is more expensive as they have to charge RRP but no rules against throwing in free gifts like these.

Thanks everyone !
Can't wait for it to change. A set of two maps is not really that much.
That is so beautiful.The new issue of Nintendo Force comes with a double-sided Splatoon poster. One side has official art while the other is a fan piece crossover.

I think they might have just wanted people to get pretty familiar with each map. This might change later on. Pretty sure I remember seeing a screen with a 3 map rotation somewhere.

It's bugging me that I can't remember what the name of the robot that's below Toad Man is.
And also there's some characters I can't name.

Found a couple of reviews within the last few minutes:
GameCentral (via Metro): http://metro.co.uk/2015/05/27/splatoon-review-is-nintendos-online-shooter-on-target-5217230/
Pocket-Lint: http://www.pocket-lint.com/review/1...ink-redible-multiplayer-for-just-a-few-squids
I haven't read either, will do so now though.

So reading the OP, are the maps that will be released over summer free? Just making sure.

That is Cryosphere from Mighty Nº9
Yes. All DLC announced so far is completely free and is being spaced out in terms of maps, gear and so forth.

Am I reading th OP correctly, that if you live in Europe the only way to get the squid amiibo is to buy a game+amiibo bundle? I'll go digital, and find it insane if my only option to get the amiibo is to buy a physical version of the game.

Beautiful OT, I'm gonna need some splats on my avatar.
I didn't have a pre-order, I'll look in store on Friday. Maybe tomorrow...

For some reason, i was under the impression that patch notes usually were given for Nintendo titles.
Yup, it's stupid.
Really bummed about missing out on the rhythm minigame, just because I'm going digital.

Exactly my point. It's complete shit. That's not how it normally is.^^

I enjoyed GC's review, it raised a good point about how while turf war mode is perfectly fine and enough to carry the appeal of the game, Nintendo adding new content implies that they think otherwise.
I personally would be happy with turf war mode too, the parallel with Mario Kart 8 is a good one. Like that game, I'd be perfectly satisfied with a super-solid, amazingly fun experience, spread across a variety of maps.
If Splatoon launched with just that one mode (and it wasn't called a mode) but with 16-32 tracks like Mario Kart 8, that alone would be enough.
I'm all for more content, but it's clear (At least from that review) that turf war mode is superb.

it's probably easier to create new modes and use existing maps. I'm quite happy with the direction they're going, having only Turf Wars might become a bit boring. Tower Control sounds quite similar to the TF2 Payload mode so I guess it will end up being one of the main game modes
e: got the Ink Girl amiibo as well

Good point, I'm certainly not opposed to new modes either.
I'm glad Nintendo is bringing it out now just so we can actually play something solid while they get the rest of the content sorted out, but like the review mentioned, the unavoidable bad press from the content schedule is going to hurt it.
Team Fortress 2 also launched with 5 maps (can't remember about modes), but Valve made sure no one cared, or at worst, overlooked it, by bundling it with The Orange Box. Everyone, and most critics, were too busy gawping over Portal to worry about TF2's launch content.

Reallllllyyy want to get it physical. That boxart is beautiful. But I also reallllllly wanna play at midnight, and I just got a big new tat anyway so driving 45 minutes at midnight to try and convince Wal-mart workers that yes, it is actually possible for a game to be released on a day that is not Tuesday, sounds pretty terrible. Think I'm just gonna cave and preload it, especially because it's so small.
Great OT. I do kinda wish the single player section was before the multiplayer section. That way people know right away it does have a single player campaign and the game isn't a "only online" shooter. It gets lost in the mix now I think. Other then that it's great.
Question for anyone that has Best Buy's GCU. Thinking of picking up the game from there along with finally signing up for the Gamer Club Unlocked. I'm seeing something weird when I check out though. The game's release date being the 29th but I can pick up the game today!?
Does the Gamer Club Unlocked membership allow people to pick up preorders early (by a day or two)? Or could this just be a glitch with the website?

Are they going to do a real demo? My test fire session didn't work.
they are
the patch notes are usually something along the lines of 'we made balance changes!'
oh and 'improved stability'
