Guess we can look forward to more preview impressions after the Direct by gaming media sites.

They also just tweeted a reminder for the direct, with a very interesting line: https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/596056891194744832

Watch the #Splatoon Direct on 5/7 @ 7 a.m. PT to hear about a Squid Research Labs project that YOU can take part in! http://Ninten.do/6014Axti
​

I wonder what the project is, my dream case scenario is a Beta, but it could just be retailer demos or some other contest.

Hopefully so! I'm worried it's just the Tumblr art contest that they're referring to. Fingers crossed, though

Some of the artwork they're making with the paint is pretty abstract, haha.

Definitely looking forward to more Splatoon gameplay, and I'm super hype for tomorrow's Direct!

This is very cool! Also, I feel bad for whoever decided to get a tattoo of a game that isn't even released. :P

I posted this on reddit, and a guy who was there replied with some close up pictures of the amiibo.

It's nice to see that they look really good IRL. No derpy Villager eyes here!
