Splatoon Splatters Nintendo Direct
Still on the fence about Wii U's Splatoon? Nintendo has announced a special Nintendo Direct devoted to the game next week.
Nintendo hasn't mentioned exactly what the Direct covers, but it happens on Thursday, May 7, at 9 am Central time over at Nintendo's Direct site.
Splatoon comes out on May 29.

Our Take
With no online voice chat, the game faces an uphill battle with some gamers. Perhaps this Direct is Nintendo's last chance to try and stoke interest in the title's non-online modes.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
