I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!

thanks! hopefully you find a solution soon.

Now i have more time to enforce more people to get splatoon!

I hope the North America Splatfest is in July cause that's when I'm getting the game!

They only postponed it 2 hours ahead... TAT

PLZPLZPLZ DONT DONT DO THURS; FRI;SAT; OR SUN. PLZPLZPLZ IM ON VACATION OMG OMG OMGOMGOMGOMG... Wait, I can practice and get better!

first the chinese people stops earthbound64 and now the spatfest ... CONFIRMED CHINESE PEOPLE DONT WANT AMERICA TO HAVE THEIR VIDEOGAME STUFF

Bummer. Thank you for the update -- better to wait and have a great time than do it now and be miserable!

Ok,this will buy me some time to get the game.

too bad for America i hope the European's festival won't be delayed.

Tentacle difficulties, please stand by...

Well, delaying it to fix issues is perfectly fine. But...you sure we can't at least just have Inkopolis decked out tomorrow anyway? Just for the fun of it?! Forget the theme matches for now and just party? C'mon! I mean, the trucks are already there... and I'm sure Callie and Marie want to perform for us and... I mean... I just wanted to party down with my squid kid peeps...

of course everythings to good to be true

Tom, WILL YOU MARRY ME???

After E3 this was the only thing i had to look forward to!

i really want splatoons *sad*

why didn't you catch this last week????? when they had theres???? only nintendont

;-; ..

Nintendo em decadência ..

You delayed the first Splatfest? ... Eh, okay.

A delayed Splatfest is better than a broken one

well at least tell us the date the you will reveal the splatfest date

See i knew the Servers wouldn't hold up i made a post about this yesterday

SO TRUE JOHAN!

I just realized something very strange: This post has a screen shot. Why?

Is delay to between a estimate of dates 6/21 to 6/26 right now.

Beter late than Never.

dose that mean canada's first splater fest is also gonna be postponed as well??????

Correct Mr. H, counting canada and mexico, even central america.

NOTICE ME, TOM!

I'm sorry but I'll have splatoon to 10 july for family reasons. Although I can put up with having amiibo splatoon morning.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Oh... I thought it was already going lol

Lo siento pero yo tendre splatoon hasta el 10 july por razones familiares. Aunque puedo aguantarme de tener amiibo splatoon mañana.

1 DAY BEFORE SPLATFEST AND YOU TELL US THIS NOW!!!!!!!!!! I MAXED OUT MY DOG TEE FOR NOTHING

Isn't this the same issue that happened during one of the test fire demos? Also why didn't Nintendo notice this problem sooner?

This better not be delayed to next saturday now when I will probably be busy with family that day. How does it sound to everyone if the splatfest was postpone to saturday july 4th though that might not be a good for some due to being 4th of jouly. Anyway I planned on playing Splatoon alot tomorrow so that's what I will be doing.

@Young Link, it will probably be a weekend, since thats when it seems they will be doing them, so it will probably be next weekend

Also @tom how about making Splatoon Splatfest for a whole weekend so more people can get to enjoy the event.

So happy now I won't miss it!

It is a whole weekend, it was gonna be the 20th AND 21st

At least we get a area to battle. Thanks for your hard work.

guys don't worry The splatfests run for 24 hours each time so no rush.

NOW LOOK WHAT YOU DONE TO INKLINGS, MANY OF THEM NOT HAPPY YOU TOOK AWAY OUR SPLATFEST TEES, VOTING STAND, TRUCKS, AND BILLBOARDS, NINTENDO!!!!

i want to work with you

tom you just did the ultimate troll

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

@Larry what do you mean?

How disappointing...

Everybody is complaning, but this will make it more enjoyable. Just be patient and be glad we are getting better quality matching for matches than Japan

I WAS SO HAPPY TO GO TO SPLATFEST!!!!!!!

uhh at least i can train for team dog

Aww man I brought my Wii U on my vacation for this.

I'm getting a feeling that hackers are behind this. Give me your suggestions guys.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

THE INKLINGS SPOKEN ABOUT IT FOR FOUR HOURS NOW, WE WELL FIGHT FOR IT BACK IN TOWN!

When's regional matchmaking?

It's like Nintendo planned for this years E3 to be as terrible as possible. Letting down tons of fans left and right. Hope you've got a lot of bridges, Nintendo. You can only burn so many before you're trapped.

Today: So hype for splatfest Tonigt: why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sony does what Nintendon't. Delay worldwide instead of 1 country.

HOLA

Michling, Sony also showed off games fans have been begging for. Nintendo... well we all know how that went.

Well, whatever you do, do NOT make splatfest on fathers day.

ugh it sounds like the last testfire all over again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been waiting for splatfest for weeks and now you put it on a different date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why isnt splat fest working

im glad im on vaca and the wifi sucks here :P i'd have missed it

Me when I heard Splatfest was canceled: Meh, at least we'll still have it, and My mom needed to run to town a lot tommorow anyways. I just hope it's not going to be when me and my friends go see Jurrasic World.

Tom, you should've told us before.

Guys, chill. It's been delayed, not cancelled. And it's not like they did this just to tick everyone off. Remember that Global Testfire fiasco? They're doing this to prevent something like that from happening again.

The trucks disappeared? O_o

You got me all hyped for anything. Ya know, Nintendo is getting on my nerves with always delaying everything. And, this was in Japan!!!!

Well, l just appreciate that you guys want to give us the best experience possible. Splatfest wouldn't be as fun without their help!

...

I'd like to point something out to those complaining at Tom. People are complaining that he's only delayed the NA Splatfest, but in reality that is as far as NOA can go. NOE would delay it if necessary too. It's not like they specially chose to delay it in NA. They just want to make sure this goes well. Japan isn't a big country so if there were issues there it shows how bad it could be worldwide.

ohh my god people stop panicing they didnt xanel it they just delayed it

My Body Is Angry

Great, cuz I forgot all about it!

Tom, how do you still have a smile on your face after all of this?

@everyone complaining about the late notice: Nintendo was probably working on the problem all week, and hoped they could fix it before this weekend. That's why they didn't say anything sooner.
