I have also been saying the exact same thing since January when we were just starting to learn more about Splatoon... we still don't know too much about the game, such as hard-fact features, maps, modes.. Nintendo isn't being very transparent right now, but usually is when the Direct comes around.
I'm thinking that this year Nintendo will surprise us beyond what we can imagine.
Splatoon comes out [late?] May still with no official release date and they're seriously running out of time too market this new IP. I think they didn't do enough for Codename STEAM as their 3DS IP that came out this month, so they should figure out what went wrong with that and correct their mistakes with Splatoon.
I believe their next Direct will include Splatoon (If not a Splatoon-only direct), Xenoblade X, Yoshi's Wooly World, and that multiplayer software free-of-purchase that some Japanese guy said would come to the Wii U pretty soon.. What that could be, who knows.
I'm saying it once more, I'm PRETTY sure Nintendo knows what they're doing this time around, and I know they've got another trick up thier sleeve, and it's not the NX.
