So how's the full game's online stability? Are the servers stable or are disconnections commonplace?
I've not experienced any issues. The game always runs smooth for me and I've not had any deaths that I could attribute to lag, just lack of awareness. I think this is about as stable as the 3DS is now. Hahaha.
I own a PS1, GBA, GBA SP, Wii (GCN), 360, 3DS, PC (Laptop), Wii U, and PS4.
I used to own a GBC, PS2, and DS Lite
Did they? Are you able to elaborate how? Perhaps I didn't see the right net articles, but I never saw details from gaming news sites, or Nintendo directly, stating the game would have no voice chat, hence eliminating team play (which seems to be the main purpose of this game), has no way of editing the button controls, no way to play on online with the tablet screen, only one online mode, only 5 maps, no 2 player online using the same console, and no clear indication of what updates will be added later i.e. modes, and when. If I had, I would likely have refrained from pre-ordering this title.
Then you have been paying no attention whatsoever. It was very, very widely publicized on every major gaming news outlet.

And £25-30 isn't a budget title. £5 - £20 is a budget title (at least half the price of a £39.99 R.R.P).
All those things were reported by gaming sites, and not all of them are reasonable to expect. How can two people go online using the same console when only one player can use the gamepad? Online with off-tv play? The gamepad screen is essential because it displays the map in real time.

Pretty good. I only have had about three disconnects total so far, all very spread apart. The online in this game is really good.

To anyone complaining about features, have you played the FULL game yet? Also, did you enjoy mario kart 8? Because if you thought mario kart had enough content, then you should think Splatoon has enough too. Its the Mario kart version of a shooter. That's pretty much it. Same amount of content. I'm tired of people complaining about it. No voice chat sucks, I agree. But complaining about content? Please. Its coming, and it's free. And the base game is awesome enough already. Just chill out.
You're just looking for excuses not to buy it. I'm sorry, I don't want to offend anyone, but I just had to speak my mind. Again, sorry.
Check out my YouTube channel if you love gaming, and Nintendo (especially Metroid) I think you'll enjoy my videos. :)

If you were to design a Splatoon Sequel what would you add? I would add more local multiplayer modes like 2v2 turf war or a endless wave mode, I would add more colors of Ink and maybe add a gun game style of mode but with a twist.
Currently I am visiting my parents in Seattle (I live in Portland). For whatever reason their internet can be quite unreliable. Sometimes I can get 10 or above mbps, a lot of times I am lucky to get even 1mbps. This is not such a problem for say when I am on my laptop browsing forums (right now). But when I want to play say an hour or two of Splatoon, I often get disconnected. I was somehow by some miracles able to get to level 8 on multiplayer. But by this time tomorrow I will be back in my room at home with stable 50mbps internet, and I will not sleep until I get to level 20!
Anyways from what I have played, I really enjoyed it. I do not think I have enjoyed a shooter game as fun as this one since the first time I played Team Fortress 2. Nintendo sure did it right.

Maybe in a future update...but ya that endless mode would be very fun to play solo or with a friend, at least then you got something else to do in single player.

I disagree with the comparison to Mario Kart 8 mainly because of the way it deals with online compared with Splatoon. I'm not saying Mario Kart 8 is perfect because there is one flaw which is a large nuisance for many fans of the older games (SNES, N64 particularly), namely the nonexistence of a proper battle mode which maybe they'll fix in the future but currently it doesn't look likely.
Splatoon's issues will be resolved over the coming months, the Direct confirms 9 more maps coming including the 4 in the Prima guide of which 14 maps is definitely a good amount for a shooter, there's more modes coming like Splat Zones (locked behind mass level 10 barrier); Tower Control and Rainmaker, private lobbies are confirmed for August, etc. The main huge question that no one knows the answer to is simply whether Smash will kill Splatoon's activity given that Lucas, Miiverse stage, tournaments and more is coming in June.
