This group of squid punks is the Squid Squad. They're one of Inkopolis's hottest acts, and their tracks can be heard as background music during many of the Inkling Turf Wars. Sadly, their shows sell out instantly and they're always being mobbed by fans, so they don't make public appearances very often.

This guy handles lead vocals and guitar in the Squid Squad, and he writes most of the music and lyrics, too. Welll, he never actually learned to read music, but he's got a gift for rippin' phat guitar riffs, and most importantly he's got that rockstar charm to inspire the other members to greatness.

The keyboardist is the group's only girl. The melodies she weaves reveal a foundation in deep-sea squid funk that's truly on another level.

The bass player is the group's oldest member. He's one cool customer who doesn't show much emotion, but make no mistake, he's the backbone of this band. He's always the first one at soundcheck, and the last one to leave the stage at the end of the encore.

The dummer's a bit rough around the edges. They call him wild child for a reason. This youngster's sense of rhythm is uncanny, and when it matters most, his sticks are always there to lead the way with a wicked beat barrage. He really gives his all on stage—if you look closely you might catch him weeping during a drum solo.

Saturday splatterday is almost here! At 12:00 AM PT on July 4th, the first Splatfest begins! The theme is "Which do you prefer—Cats or Dogs?" Cast your vote and get ready to splat anyone foolish enough to vote for the other team! During the Splatfest, Regular and Ranked Battles will take a brief hiatus. YAY SPLATFEST!

When there's a Splatfest going on, you'll be able to take part in Splatfest Battles. The rules for Splatfest Battles are the same as Turf War Battles, but you'll play on a team with three others who voted for the same team you did. There are also five levels of Splatfest Rank you can earn. The more you raise your Splatfest Rank, the more rewards you'll receive in the end!

Your Splatfest Rank increases as you rack up Splatfest Points. You can earn up to two points just by inking the ground during a match, and an additional three points if your team wins. That means you've gotta be a team player and play to win if you want to raise that rank! Best of luck, Spladets!

The first Splatfest results are in and WOOF! Dogs have won it! Despite Team Cat squeaking out a tight victory in head-to-head competition, Team Dog's numbers were too much to overcome.

Tonight at 7 PM PT, the Sploosh-o-matic will join the arsenal of Splatoon! It's range is super short, but it gobbles up foes in close-quarters combat. Take them by surprise and there's no escape! The Squid Beakon subs will help you get in there, and the Killer Wail special will let you wreck shop once you do.

Also arriving tonight is the .96 Gal Deco! It's a more sparkly version of the original .96 Gal, but this one comes with a Splash Wall sub and a Kraken special to strike a perfect balance between defense and attack.

For those of you that missed it, last week the intrepid kraken clinicians of the Squid Research Lab fired up a bit of Tower Control and played a few matches of the new Ranked Battle Mode. We've recorded our findings in this video. Please enjoy and look for Tower Control in rotation for Ranked Battle Mode!

The new stage Moray Towers will be joining the rotation tomorrow at 7 PM PT! That verticality though! Jump down through all the hairpin turns in a single go, and BOOM—you're right on the front lines! You'll have to make your way up a series of sloping paths to get into enemy territory. Look for spots to swim up walls to flank your foes and take them by surprise!

Need a brush that packs a powerful punch? The Octobrush is a brush with denser bristles that fling even more ink with each swipe! Use that mobility to scatter Squid Beakons everywhere, giving your whole team free rein of the battlefield! No need to hesitate—you can always use the Kraken to run away in a pinch. Your team will love you! Grab the Octobrush now!

Ah yes, the N-ZAP '89. This is quite simply an N-ZAP '85 that was redesigned for... well, definitely not legal reasons. No siree. Nothing to see here. Lawyers definitely did not have anything to do with this. It includes a Sprinkler to rapidly increase your turf, allowing you to fire off remarkably fast Inkstrikes! This set is excellent at striking where the foe least expects it. Good for lone wolves and those nostalgic for the good ol' days! The N-ZAP '89 is available now!

File:Roller Coasters Water Slides Tees.jpg

Here in the Squid Research Lab, we've been using all of our free time this summer to play Splatoon. Well, we've been using the majority of our time to play Splatoon, and the rest of our time at the local theme park. Last time we were there, we got into a pretty heated debate about if water slides are better than roller coasters and let me tell you – some very intense words were exchanged. Tears were shed. We're still torn up about it to this very day.

We've decided to let this weekend's Splatfest be the ultimate decider so grab your GamePad and start fighting for the team of your choice tonight at 9 PM PT! We'll settle this once and for all!

New weapon incoming! Check out this bad boy, the Neo Splash-o-matic. Now, this here Neo Splash-o-matic may look a lot like the Splash-o-matic, but it's got different sub and special weapons, enabling you to use a whole new fighting style. Enemies incoming? Pick 'em off with Burst Bombs. Enemies in the distance? Take 'em out with the Inkzooka.

Get your hands on the Neo Splash-o-matic when it goes live tonight at 7 PM PT.

The E-liter 3K Scope is coming tonight at 7 PM PT! Now, I'm not sure you amateur squid researchers are able to gather this from the name, but this here's an E-liter 3K fitted with a scope. (Don't worry. As you guys work your way up to Squid Researcher status, this stuff will start to come naturally.) The scope narrows your field of view, but you can acquire and snipe targets from extremely far away.

Pack your knapsack because we're going to camp. Camp Triggerfish, that is!

When the Inklings aren't busy making s'mores or boondoggle key chains, they enjoy the majestic scenery afforded by camping the best way they know how – Turf War! Battles here play out across a series of bridges, which you'll have to cross to reach your opponents' turf.

Each team base at Camp Triggerfish is outfitted with a set of floodgates. When the gates are down, it's easier for the other team to come and go as they please. In Turf War, the gates lower with one minute left on the clock, leading the way for late-game assaults. In Ranked Battle, they stay down so players can come and go as they please. Watch out in Tower Control! The tower's path is almost always over water and you'll need to show off your best squid skills to avoid getting dunked.

Starting tomorrow at 7 PM PT, Camp Triggerfish will be added to the stage rotation. Maybe after we're done battling we can gather round the fire and sing some jaunty campfire tunes!

We've received a sketch from one of our researchers. Looks like an Octoling... Hey! We've seen this before. Looks like a false alarm. Wait a minute. Something's different here... Whoa! WHOOOOA!

SAFETY NOTICE: Urchin Underpass will be undergoing important construction work. Entry will be strictly forbidden from August 2-5.

We're looking into what could have caused this construction notice, but word on the street is lots of new content is about to hit Inkopolis, including two new weapon types, all sorts of new gear, level cap increases and even new matchmaking options!

Catchy tune, ain't it?! This song is the work of a piano rock group called Hightide Era. They've seen a recent surge in popularity with Inkling youth. This is a sneak peek of their latest single, "Hooked" that's featured in the upcoming Splatoon update!

The band name Hightide Era refers to both the full and brimming nature of the group's sound and also the ecological realities of the world they live in. Let's not worry too much about whether Inklings actually understand English or not, 'kay? Kay.

Squad Battle is one of the new multiplayer modes being added in Splatoon's August update. From what we hear, it'll allow friends to play together in Ranked Battles, like they've been doing so far with in Regular Battles. Form a squad of two or four players, and get into the action!

When forming a two-person squad, you'll be paired with two more players who've done the same, and face off against a team of two two-person squads. That's a lot of twos! The other pair you and your opponents are matched with are random, but they should be a similar rank.

If you form a full-on four-person squad, you'll be matched up against another foursome of similar rank.

What's more, you can also form squads of three players, but these will work like four-person squads. You won't get a handicap, but this is a great challenge for a group of three who think they've got what it takes. Oh, and by the way, you'll still earn points and have your rank affected during Squad Battles. Just a lil something to think about before heading out with a team of three!

Private Battle is a mode in which a group of friends can get together to enjoy online multiplayer to their heart's content. This mode is for two to eight players, and allows customization of match rules, stages, and team composition.

In Private Battle you won't earn points, and your rank won't be affected by wins or losses. You can also set a password on your lobby to ensure you'll be playing with only your closest friends.

This gets a bit technical, but you can also arrange a Private Battle with eight Wii U systems connected to a router that's in turn connected to the internet.

BREAKING NEWS FROM THE SQUID RESEARCH LAB! Our sources say that the "Slosher" is a new main weapon category being added with the August update. Weapons in this category look like buckets and deliver huge blasts of ink with each shot. Their shots also fire in an arc, making them useful for hitting opponents that are above you or behind obstacles.

BREAKING NEWS - Good things must come in twos (that's a thing, right?), because also coming to Splatoon tonight is the Range Blaster! As the name suggests, the Range Blaster is a Blaster with shots that travel farther before exploding. It has a lower rate of fire, but who cares when you're taking people out from clear across the battle field!? The Range Blaster comes complete with the Splash Wall and Inkstrike.

THIS JUST IN - With the August update, the level cap appears to be increasing from level 20 to 50! For level 20 onward, both points you earn from inking and points from winning a match will go toward raising your rank. Also, you'll earn a bit of a reward for every 5th level you earn, so get ready to battle!

Greetings from the great outdoors! As soon as Camp Triggerfish was discovered, we just knew that we needed to take a Squid Research Lab company camping trip. We've all been in agreement about how great camping is, but have run into one little problem: we can't seem to decide what to roast over the campfire.

Intern Milton is all like, "HOT DOGS!" and Intern Stephenie all like, "MARSHMALLOWS." We only have so many pointy sticks to use to roast things so we're going to need to come to an agreement on this. We've decided to let the next Splatfest decide for us! Head to the Pledge Board and vote Marshmallow or Hot Dog and then fight for your team from 8/7 at 9 PM PT to 8/8 at 9 PM PT.

Ranks for Ranked Battle are also getting an upgrade! While A+ is the current highest rank, you'll now be able to reach the rank of S and S+. You'll still need victory points to raise your rank, but keeping S or S+ once you're there is no easy feat! Keep in mind that wins and losses in Squad Battle won't affect your rank when you've reached S or S+ - it's every squid for himself!
