We need to stop putting words in Sakurai's mouth. He said "no plans". That doesn't equal no DLC ever.
Why would he plan addition content when the game was just released at the time?

I disagree. I think that a few weeks after release is a good time to have at least tossed around ideas. Maybe I'm wrong, but in the context in which he said it, it seemed very pessimistic. I mean, why bring it up, if you weren't trying to let people down easy on the idea?

Can we talk about Splatoon? I hope there are multiple online multiplayer game choices. Like Assault, team with most kills. Or Capture the Flag

I find it kinda interesting that the Smash Bros Facebook page uploaded the news rather than the Nintendo page. My realistic side says that it's just because Smash is pretty much the main event at Apex (with other fighting games and Pokemon ORAS also present), but my unrealistically optimistic side says that it's a hint at Splatoon DLC for Smash. I of course am going with the realistic side.
I would love a demo of the game on eshop in april. single player specifically. Just to get a general idea of what the game will play like. It would also help the developers gauge how big it could turn out to be.

Can't wait for the massive sea of grey smiley faces scrambling for Splatoon demo codes when (insert whatever CN will be replaced by) hands them out to the select few lucky SOB's.

I can't decide whether to go with the male inkling or the female inkling for this game. I usually go with my own gender if there are no difference in the characters, but the male inkling doesn't look as cool. The female inkling looks a lot more like a squid, anyhow.
No translation yet, as far as I'm aware, but there's a pretty lengthy interview with the creators. I think it goes for around 10 pages.
Some of the info translated:
-Working on a local multiplayer mode in addition to online and Hero Mode
-Hero mode is predominantly a 3D platformer with heavy emphasis on human-squid transformations
-Random matching is done world wide, game tries to place you with players close to your skill level based on ratings
-Tried implementing a system whereby you could give orders to your team mates, but battles were too quick and hectic for them to be effective so they got rid of the feature
-Game won't use CPU fighters; only once 8 human players have been found will a match start
-Having multiple modes with random matching would limit the number of players per mode, so all the focus is on the 4 vs. 4 for that
-No communication with players you are matched with
-They didn't think of using Bloopers when they decided on squids (they apparently forgot they existed)
-No money can be earned in Hero Mode. Your points, as displayed at the end of the match, are turned into money and experience points.
-A lot of the music is written by Tooru Minegishi (who has worked on Zelda, Animal Crossing, and Super Mario)

Cool!...except the "no communication" thing. I REALLY appreciate it for randoms (I can't even imagine what spamming Little Mac players are shouting when I spam them back with Bowser :3), but I like having the feature when playing with friends.

''In the main plaza there are some jellyfish strutting about amongst the Inklings. They appear to be the most common species after the Inklings, but normal jellyfish can't speak the Inkling language.
So why can Jelfonzo speak it? Did he study hard and learn it? He's an unexpectedly hard worker....''
I assume Jelfonzo is the jellyfish that runs the clothing shop.
2 steps forward and 1 and a half steps back, Nintendo, as usual. You can't have an online game focused on 4 man teamwork and have no way of communicating. It's 2015, get with the program or don't bother making it online at all. I understand no communication between randoms but we 100% should be given the choice to chat with our friends.
