Those Octarians look all emo with their swooping head tentacles. But darn if they don't make fascinating artistic subjects. I mean, we're still gonna splatter their octo-hides with ink.

So, be honest—how inkredible was that Splatoon Direct the other day? It felt great to present the results of our research. I think it's safe to say we now have a pretty good understanding of these mysterious squid creatures. Make sure to check out the Nintendo Direct if you haven't already!

If you haven't heard, we're hosting an upcoming Splatoon Global Testfire demo event! Those of you with a Nintendo Wii U can join us, the Squid Research team, as we ink it up today and tomorrow (May 8th and 9th)! Scientifically speaking, it will be most splatacular!

Splatoon Global Testfire Alert!!!
We've received word that the Splatoon Global Testfire demo can be downloaded from Nintendo eShop, like, RIGHT NOW! Make sure to get it early to maximize your splatting once the Testfire goes live!
The first session of the Splatoon Global Testfire will take place Friday, May 8th from 8:00-9:00 PM (PDT). At the same time, you can tune into Twitch for a live broadcast of the event. For those without a Nintendo Wii U, this broadcast will be a great way to tune catch all of the hot splatting action. Oh, and Squid Research will be there in full effect!

We've learned which locations will be available in the Splatoon Global Testfire. First, we've got Walleye Warehouse, which has been previously explored by our colleagues in an off-site lab called the Treehouse. The second stage is called Saltspray Rig. Our research indicates that the stage you play will be chosen at random.

Saltspray Rig features multiple levels of verticality and a network of tight corridors. The central high ground tends to be a hot spot for battles, but it also has a number of paths that lead to it, so keep an eye on where the action is when choosing your strategy. That said, our research also shows that ignoring the lower areas is a quick way to lose the lead to your opponents!

Sorry for the avalanche of information, but we've just learned so much about tonight's Splatoon Global Testfire!! This just in! There'll be four weapons available for use during the Splatoon Global Testfire:
- Splattershot Jr.
- Splattershot
- Splat Roller
- Splat Charger
That's a good selection of well-rounded weapons right there. That Splattershot Jr. in particular is a good choice for first-timers.
The four weapons you'll be able to use in the upcoming Testfire event are just the tip of the ink-gun iceberg. The full game will feature a dazzling array of inkredible armaments. The different speeds and strengths of these weapons make for a huge variety of play styles as well. Check out the Weapon Shop section of the Fresh Gear page on the official Splatoon website to see what I mean!

Judd here always has to tell it like it is, but you're allowed to get creative. Create something artistic, post it to Tumblr with #Splatoon, #GetInked and #NintendoContestEntry and you might win some prizes. Note: Judd will not be judging your artwork.
Splatoon is rated E 10+ with Cartoon Violence.

It appears that a squid research report has been published online in something called "Iwata Asks." I think the guy in the suit is a squid researcher, and all those guys wearing the same T-shirt are developers who showed us those amazing squid snacks earlier. There are some inkredible stories here about how the squids we know and love came to be. A must for squid fans!

We've just received a new research image.
I'm all for new squid pics, but what's the deal with the number?

This building here is the Battle Dojo. In the Battle Dojo, two players can face off in a 1 vs. 1 battle using a Wii U GamePad and Wii U Pro Controller! The rules are different from those in online battles, but it's a great place to practice your skills. Or so we're told.

The goal of Battle Dojo is to pop more balloons than your opponent before time runs out. Balloons will appear at set locations in each stage as the match progresses. Players can see the location of the upcoming balloons before they appear though, so expect a fight if you get there early!

Pop one balloon in Battle Dojo to earn a point. But watch out—evidence suggests that you can lose a ton of points if you get splatted by your opponent. This can be splatastrophic...unless you're the one doing the splatting, of course. In the final minute, each balloon is worth two points, so keep on poppin' until the battle is over!

In a follow-up to yesterday's report, we've received another mysterious research image. From the look of it, this image has less numbers and more squids... What does it all mean?!

So, I bought some dried squid snacks at the corner store. They're pretty delish, but they're too tough for most peoples' taste. Here's a pro-tip: dried squid is pretty hard to chew with your molars, so try grinding it up with your front teeth until it gets softer. How is this going to help you in Splatoon? I dunno, but it tastes great!

And here we've got another cryptic image. It appears to be a rendering of a Turf War battle in progress...but just what is the meaning of these mysterious numbers?

Here's some graffiti we discovered on a wall in Inkopolis Plaza. From what we can discern, this is actually an image posted in something called Miiverse. If you drop a handwritten note in the mailbox outside of Inkopolis Tower, your note just might show up in someone else's plaza. Better brush up on those art skills!

Another mystery image has arrived, and this one is just as—
Oh, wait! I'VE GOT IT! There are four squids, so the number is 4! Or...wait. Maybe not.
Whatever the case, somebody must be really motivated to send us this image on a holiday.

Pressing the ZR Button while in the plaza will zoom the camera in. Try zooming in on a piece of Miiverse "graffiti" and you'll be able to give that post a "Yeah!" Be a good squidizen and give a "Yeah!" to images you like. Also, we're told the zoom-in camera may also have another use...

You've gotta be squidding me! Splatoon is apparently coming out for the Nintendo Wii U on May 29th! So THAT's what these countdown numbers are all about! Whew, glad I was able to crack the case.

Dear Journal,
I fear my heart's been squidnapped by these lovable creatures. They'll soon abandon me to star in that Splatoon game, but my love for them still grows with each passing day. And thus I vow to continuing researching these squids, and I'll proudly relay my findings to the public, even after the game comes out. I only hope the world won't turn their backs on us.
#Splatoon #SquidLab #Nintendo #Wiiu #Stay tuned for more updates from us #...and also more squid puns

Ranked Battles are objective-based game modes that only the freshest squids can handle. You'll earn the right to join in the fun once you've reached level 10, but there's also a global condition that must be met—Ranked Battles won't be unlocked until enough players around the world have reached level 10!

Players with mad squid skills will want to jump into Ranked Battles as soon as possible, but they'll need to wait until enough players worldwide have reached level 10. I've got an inkling that we'll see regular updates on the progress of this meter. With all the skilled splatterers out there, I don't think it will take long.

One of our scientists has made a rather stunning discovery! From early reports, it appears to be a means of adding motion control to the controller of the player playing on the TV screen in Battle Dojo. On the controller selection screen for Battle Dojo, press and hold down on the +Control Pad, press and hold B, and then press ZR and ZL.
It seems a Wii Remote Plus is necessary to perform this incredible feat. This technique also appears to be possible when using a Classic Controller or Classic Controller Pro! When using a Wii U Pro Controller, first press ZL and ZR to select that as your controller, and then press the 2 Button on the Wii Remote Plus to activate it.
