<p>Nintendo&#8217;s rainbow-colored, third-person shooter&#8217;s alive and well, rest assured. It&#8217;s also getting its own Nintendo Direct in case you were interested this next Thursday.</p>
<p>In the past few months, we&#8217;ve learned that Splatoon&#8217;s <a href="https://bagogames.com/splatoon-wii-u-single-payer-campaign/">got a single-player campaign</a> and enough hours of last E3 showed us it definitely has a multiplayer campaign. It won&#8217;t, however, have voice-chat as far as we know unlike Mario Kart 8&#8217;s friends-only voice chat. Folks have hoped that that might change in the time between now and release. We&#8217;ll see.</p>
<p>Tune in on <strong>May 7th</strong>, at 9 am Central over at <a href="http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/05-07-2015/">Nintendo&#8217;s Direct site</a> or wait for when the game comes out this <strong>May 29th</strong>.</p>
