Splatoon Global Testfire
Template:Game-infobox The Splatoon Global Testfire was a free demo available on the Nintendo eShop. It allowed players to engage in free four-versus-four 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.
