Splatoon Global Testfire

The Splatoon Global Testfire is a free demo available on the Nintendo eShop. It will allow players to engage in free 4-vs.-4 Turf Wars at scheduled times ahead of the release of Splatoon.

Description
During the Global Testfire, players were able to customize their Inklings and enter a practice area where they could pop balloons and get accustomed to the game's controls. They were then able to enter online matches of Turf War and use the Splattershot Jr., Splattershot, Splat Roller, and Splat Charger on both Saltspray Rig and Walleye Warehouse.
