Happy New Year! Wishing you a tentacular, squidtastic, cephalopoppin'-off 2015! Now let's get down to business. Check out the first photo we received this year from our research team. It looks like the crazy squids celebrate New Year's also! But...wait. Squids keep track of time?! I don't even...

This just in! One of our senior research assistants just faxed over a fascinating new image. At first glance, this looks like a typical back alley, but word on the street is that it's a favorite battleground for these crazy squids. Apparently it's a popular place to hone one's skills in one-on-one duels. If fact, it looks familiar for some reason...

Breaking news! One of our interns recently saw a squid guy fall into a creek during a turf war, and guess what?! The squid dissolved! This suggests that these creatures can't maintain a solid form when submerged in water. Does this mean that they're actually made of liquid? The mystery deepens...

We just received a new photo upload from one of our junior field researchers! From the looks of it, this appears to be a floating oil rig. The open area on top sure looks like a good place to battle it out, but...it seems like a lot of work getting out here in the middle of the ocean just to throw down on a cool location. Just saying.

Crispy calamari! Some new footage of our favorite squid creatures was just revealed via Nintendo Direct! It appears to show their home-base area, and also confirms the existence of other life-forms living there! This will no doubt lead our researchers to all sorts of tantalizing new breakthroughs. Such exciting times! http://youtu.be/t6zgkp1YBRw?t=15m20s

Breaking news! We just received this urgent text message from one of our senior interns: OMG SPLATOON RELEASE MAY 2015! I'm not exactly sure what this means, but apparently it was announced in the most recent Nintendo Direct. It's really gotten our researchers in a tizzy! Also, the so-called "king of squids," the bigfin reef squid, tends to make appearances in May. What a great month for squid fans everywhere!

This just in! We've now learned that most of the crazy squid creatures we've been studying call this city home. The central plaza is apparently a favorite hangout for all of the hip-and-happening squid folk. If this were Tokyo, the plaza would sort of be like Shibuya. I guess their cities aren't so different from our own!

New info coming at ya! We've just received confirmation that this tower is a very important landmark in the plaza area. Our undercover interns have observed the squid creatures entering the base of the tower to play in turf-war battles online! Now it makes sense why so many squid folk are always hanging out in the plaza. How fascinating!

Hot new nugget! Our researchers have identified four shops in the squid plaza's shopping district: a weapons shop, a headgear shop, a clothing shop, and a shoe shop. The items in stock at the clothing, headgear, and shoe shops apparently change from day to day, so be sure to check back frequently!

Breaking news! We've now learned that the amount of in-game currency these crazy squids get from each match is tied to how much turf they cover with ink. So if you want the hottest fashions, you'd better get busy during battle!

This is the shop where squid fighters buy new weapons to use in battle. Apparently this place is known for excellent customer service, but word on the street is that they won't sell you certain weapons if you aren't ready to use them. Sounds like racking up experience in battle is the key to earning the shopkeeper's approval!

We've just confirmed that this horseshoe crab dude is the owner of the weapons shop. He's reportedly obsessed with all types of military gear. This love has come at a cost, though, as cleaning and polishing his gear all day every day has apparently made him extremely nearsighted. No wonder his glasses are so thick. What a nerd!

Check this out! Squid fighters can take a set of three weapons into battle: a main weapon, a sub weapon, and a special weapon. Turf wars are considered a serious sport in the squid world, and as such, the weapon manufacturers are constantly competing to outdo one another with new innovations to help these athletes gain the upper hand...er, tentacle.

New report! We've just received intel on a sub weapon that appears to be some sort of ink shield. Activating it apparently blocks enemy attacks and progress for a short time. This is a great example of how sub weapons can be used not only for attacking purposes, but for defense and team support as well.

Breaking news! One of our interns just texted over this new image of one of the special weapons. Apparently when this thing is ready to use, if you tap a location on the GamePad, you'll launch a missile to that spot, creating a veritable swirling maelstrom of ink when it hits. Apparently it's not super difficult to dodge, but we're hearing that there's no finer way to scatter opponents and drive them back.

New intel just in! We've identified this shop as the place where squid fighters come for all of their headgear needs: hats, helmets, glasses, goggles...you name it! Sounds like this is definitely the place to visit if you want to get ahead of your competition.

Check it out! We've identified this sea anemone gal as the clerk who works at the headgear shop. We hear that she's pretty shy and mostly keeps to herself, which sort of makes you wonder why she'd even want a job in the service industry. Oh, and see that little fish dude hanging out in her hair? He apparently talks tough but never does anything on his own. Maybe these two actually have a lot in common?

New report! We've learned that headgear, clothing, and shoes all have different attributes that benefit those who wear them into battle. For example,this item comes equipped with "Ink Saver (Main)," which cuts down on the ink needed to fire your main weapon. There are apparently a whole lot more perks like this!

Here comes a follow-up to the previous report!
Each piece of gear comes with one perk, but can gain new ones the more it's used. Each item also contains one top-class perk, just waiting to be unlocked! I guess practice really does make perfect!

This store in the plaza is a one-stop shop for all your clothing needs. If our intel is reliable, it offers a wide selection of threads that are both functional and fashionable. Although, they never seem to have any pants in stock. Probably because jellyfish prefer to go au naturel.

This is Jelonzo, the charismatic clerk that runs the clothing shop. With his uncanny sense for the hottest trends, he's viewed as a fashion god of sorts by all the young squids in town. He hails from distant waters and has a strange way of speaking that can make it difficult to understand him, but that may be one of the secrets of his success.
