Huh, so they're like the Inklings. I honestly thought they were robotic because of the eyes (eyewear?).
I do wonder if the Octogirls will be playable, by unlocking them or otherwise.

Looks like some of the Octopuses can take a humanoid-form, mainly the females so far.
"Breakings news! We’ve just received solid evidence confirming that some of the octopus creatures can take on a humanoid form, just like the crazy squids! However, this has so far only been observed in females. Are the octo-males not capable of this amazing feat? We’re assigning two interns to focus on answering this tantalizing question." http://splatoonus.tumblr.com/
I wonder what other modes will be in the game. I mean, it can't just be Turf War, right?
I'm sure there'll be plenty of other modes, after all we do expect the game to release in either May or June so there's plenty of Nintendo Directs to reveal info in that timeframe (remember that the main reason of few Directs in 2014 was likely due to Iwata's health problems).

I couldn't tell you if there will be completely different modes, or just the same mode placed in different contexts (like Super Smash Bros.), but one thing for sure is that we still have plenty of surprises to look forward to. I'm thinking that they'll have to do something different if local multiplayer is going to be included.
I have a feeling there will be a Splatoon Direct sometime next year to give a lot more details.
Ugh please no. This might be unpopular, but I'm kind of sick of these game-specific directs. They suck out all the excitement and mystery from these games, and that's really a shame.

What you don't want Nintendo to release more info about games,that people might not know what it is or what it has?And get people excited for a feature the game might have?You might as well say just say release the game blindly,and wait and see how the sales turn out.

I think there is a balance. While I'd like to know enough about the game such that I know I'll be interested, I don't want to know almost everything about the game. That's what they have been doing with the directs.
In regards to Splatoon, I want to be surprised by a mode or two, maybe some items, as well as some maps.

I'm sure all the usual arena shooter gameplay modes will be available in multiplayer. I mean, hopefully Splatoon will be able to keep up with arena shooters like Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament, which are both 15 years old.
And yes, general Directs are better than game-specific Directs. In the general ones, we get bombs dropped. XCX was revealed in a general Direct as a big surprise. Ganondorf was revealed as a playable character as a big surprise in a Hyrule Warriors Direct. Wheeeee.

I can see what you mean. In response to everything said thus far about this, Game-Specific Directs should showcase all the features of the game, like they do now, but in a shorter time-frame, closer to release, and with more surprising reveals. As entertaining as the Mario Kart 8 Direct was, it showcased nothing new, and was about 45 minutes (basically an infomercial).

Nintendo Directs are infomercials. And 36 minutes is not 45 minutes.

To be fair I consider both to be special in their own way, never outside of Smash was it possible to play as evil characters from the LoZ series until Hyrule Warriors came along. Sure you have to earn them by completing most of Legend mode and a fair amount of Adventure mode but they're still there. XCX on the other hand means Wii U will finally have an exclusive JRPG (I'm not counting MH3U as that came out for 3DS and Wii U at the same time), sorry but I'm still considering SMTxFE as cancelled until we get some info.

I don't think Ganondorf was a surprise at all though. A typical Warriors game has dozens of playable characters, good, evil, and in between.

Plus Ganon had already been spoiled in the E3 trailer.

I wouldn't call that exactly spoiling it though as we knew Ganondorf would exist in the game simply because it's based on the LoZ universe. As for playable status, we did find out that there was originally going to be no villans playable at all hence why Volga, Wizzro and Cia were added via a free update.

On the other hand, at least we will know what we're getting so that way Splatoon doesn't end up like Destiny - overhype based on what people thought they were getting instead of actual confirmed content.
To be fair, there was tons of info for Destiny. It's just that in Destiny, a lot of content was cut, and there was so much info that a lot of people just stopped keeping up with it all...like, I'd love to check out the Splatoon Tumblr once the game's out and I've played it. But I don't need a buttload of info when the game's still 3+ months away...
