Should Splatoon have a Multiplayer Beta?

No needs for beta, but free multiplayer-only demo may help sales.

Whut? That's basically what a Beta is and does! Can't really have an online multiplayer demo that runs past the release date as then it'd basically become a free2play game.

Beta's are done to discover bugs and faults in an unfinished game, demo's are designed to introduce people to the game concept and convince them to purchase the full product, they are very different.

I don't think they should do a public beta, but instead as mentioned, release a multiplayer demo, preferably one that carries over progress.
