Update: Well, that was fast. Nintendo of America has changed the date in their Facebook status to May 2015.
This could be absolutely nothing, but the Nintendo of America Facebook page is currently stating that Splatoon is coming this summer. The European leaked listing has the game down for May 29th and the official strategy guide for the game on Amazon US has it down for May 31st. June is technically the start of summer, but May 29th is basically borderline on it. Let’s hope we get a Nintendo Direct soon to clear up any confusion regarding the release date for the highly anticipated game.
Thanks, MasterPikachu6 and someone

This game doesnt have voice chat LMFAO A TEAM BASED GAME LOLOL At least Nintendo tried.
Yeah cause it works out soooo well for CoD, Battlefield, Evolve… oh wait.
It does though
Yeah I mean, sure, if your goal is to get cursed at by 12 year olds those chat systems work out really well.
Then use the mute button. Disable it and never turn it back on again if you can’t handle bad words.
Not a matter of not being able to handle cursing. Simple fact that these “team based games” never benefit from having in-game chat and it only makes them worse. Anyone who takes team games seriously use something along the lines of Ventrilo/Skype while gaming.
That’s pointless. If you’re going to use voice chat, just use it from the game. Why would you use a separate application? And wouldn’t others also need to use Skype for that to work?
You’re an idiot. Why should I have to compromise with Skype when it should already be a feature in the game? The Wii U gamepad literally has a built in mic. There are no excuses. Nintendo is always a step behind. Now let’s just pray and hope that my teammates will know where to go and not huddle around like fucktards.
Get help please.
Look a wild faggot
Look! A 12 year old who uses faggot to insult people.
It looks like they may have changed it to “May 2015,” looking from the link provided in the article.
Thanks, I’ve added that to the post.
If they’re going off summer break late May to early August then the May 29 date could work. The faster it comes out the better.
Wow. So no games til the end of the year?! Wtf? Where the hell are the games?! Man Nintendo is distracted. It’s so obvious they’ve been working on NX for awhile cuz they see that nobody wants wii u. I want it. I got one. But it sits in my closet. I took it off the shelf yesterday when I realized I hadn’t turned it on since Mario Kart 8 released.
Where the hell is Yoshi wooly world?! That was one of my most anticipated games. Been waiting since the direct back in Feb 2013!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just as long as Project Cars and chrome two brothers or whatever it’s called.
kthxbye!
I wouldn’t be surprised if they delay some games just to be able to have a bigger release library for NintendoNX!
Don’t know if you’re trolling or are really just that much of a stupid fucking piece of shit… -_-
Y so mad??
That console doesn’t even have a year of release
Nintendo sure does love playing games when it comes release dates…
Playing GAMES to GAMERS on release dates of their GAMES!
My Club Nintendo CD didn’t come yet!! Ugh!
Sucks.
What was stupid, was mine showed up in the mail before I got my email confirmation that it was even being sent. I got a confirmation a month after I already had my CD.
Keep in mind my CD took a while to be sent also, so maybe they’re still sending them out.
Whoops forgot to put in my info.
Sickr, might want to get rid of this article because it will misinform a lot of people here. It’s still coming May 2015, read the UPDATE!
It has to come out in Spring. It just has to. No reason to pit it against other Summer games. It isn’t like Nintendo has a huge selection of titles planned for release this year either, so they have to spread them out. ONE game has to come out in the Spring, I would hope.
Agreed. I need something new to play on my Wii U so bad right now. I’m patient enough, I just haven’t been playing it lately.
Although I know I’ll be playing it like crazy later on, just not soon apparently.
You aren’t playing Mario Party 10? That released recently.
Lol no, although I’ve heard it isn’t as bad as people have thought it would be.
I’ve just never really been into party games all that much. Plus I literally would have no one to play the game with because it has no online. I rarely ever have friends over cause I live far from them. So I’m not too into buying a game I’d never really play.
Other than that, I pretty much have 100% completed every other Wii U game worth playing atm. As to why it hasn’t seen much use these days.
Mario Party games don’t interest me anymore. Maybe if you could play online…
Ughh I can’t fucking wait that long. This is fucking insane.
Lol remember when they said Smash Bros was supposed to release in summer and didn’t come until November? XD
I know. They always take to long to fucking release things. Where the hell is the tournament mode for smash.
FYI June isn’t the star of summer, Summer Soldtice on June 21st is the height of summer not the start, May 1st is the start of summer, thank you.
