The official Splatoon Twitter account ( twitter.com/SplatoonJP ) has been posting updates about the game on a regular basis.Kind of like the Smash Bros. daily updates. This is the official thread for all this info! Translation is courtesy of a Neogaf member named, StreetsAhead.

Follow-up report from the investigation team. While in squid form, Inklings can climb walls. Walls don't count toward the result of Turf Battles, so a painted wall might mean that someone climbed up it. It's important in battles to make use of the opponent's imagination.

We got witness reports of Inklings that could jump like rockets. When they touched the icon of a team member on the map, they apparently "flew to their aid", quite literally. However, they went straight to the front lines! Apparently Inklings are a reckless bunch.

Does everyone know about mysterious Inklings, who can change into human form, that were discovered in June this year?
We're slow to say this, but we're the 'Squid Research Laboratory' and we're independently researching the Inklings. Here, we will report on our research results and other special information. Please look forward to it.

Report from the Squid Research Lab. The mysterious Inklings have a habit of dividing themselves into two teams of four and painting the ground with their ink, in what they call a Turf War. Amongst themselves, this is known as a 'Turf Battle'.

Report from the Squid Research Lab. It appears that the Turf Battles are decided by which team has the most surface area covered. You can shoot your opponents with ink to take them out, but it appears to have no impact on the result. It all comes down to who has sprayed the most ink. These are quite simple, easy-to-understand rules.

We present to you an image of the Octopus Army Corps and the protagonist wearing the Hero Suit, sent to use by one of the lab's research assistants. We say octopus, but theses guys are really more like octopus legs....What's going on with their internal organs? We will make this our next topic of research.

Investigative Report from the Squid Research Lab. This cat is the referee who decides the winner of each match. They can determine who has the largest covered area in an instant. But why is there a solitary cat in this world of squid....? This mystery is yet to be solved.

Investigative Report from the Squid Research Lab. The protagonist, wearing the Hero Suit, travels through this underground world. The Octopus Army Corps, hoping to invade the Squid's world, built this underground facility. Is it just me that feels the Octopus' longing for the world above-ground from the blue sky projected onto those large monitors?

*Rather than sweeping movements, like you are looking into the world, [using gyro requires] a quick movement of the wrists only.
*Hybrid of the gyro sensors and R-stick. You make big movements with the right stick and intuitively aim with the gyro.
*You can turn off the gyro sensors and use only the R-stick to control the camera
Our researchers sent us this photograph. It appears to be one of the stages used for territory battles. The Inklings seem to enjoy having such battles even in inner-city parks. I wonder if the neighboring people...I mean squids ever get angry at them? It's mildly concerning.

Report from the Squid Research Lab. The color of the ink used in Turf Battles changes with each battle. It's very colorful. It is known that Inklings can change their body color, but there are also ones who can change the ink that they shot?!
More to come!
