Splatoon Pre-Launch Review

[ChainALM]

So, I boot up my Wii U to open up Netflix, when in the Ware-Ware Plaza I see a Splatoon community.
I rush over and it's an active board called the Splatoon Pre-Launch Review where people are posting screenshots and impressions, but what's this a link to go to this software on eShop?

Except when I try to open it I get told that no information exists about this software. *sob*

What sort of tease is that, Nintendo?! Don't dangle the game or some variant in my face like that less than two weeks from launch! I had hoped maybe it was a teaser of a single player campaign that had just come outta nowhere, but no, just a tease and a taunt to break this squid's heart D:

Ok, melodrama over, but boy did that catch me by surprise.

It's for PR to fully experience the game so they can review it when the embargo lifts. Though, I am a bit surprised they would show it in the plaza.

Oh, I fully get what it is. That sank in even harder when there was no make post or write comment option available when I entered the community.
I've just never seen a press only community show up like that. It catches one off guard, haha.

It was probably an oversight. The plaza has the most popular communities, and I guess the press community started to get used quite a bit. Just imagine what will happen when the full game comes out.
