Yeah, but it seems that you can only play with friends if you're randomly matched with them.

So after a month of so make all your friends look for matches at the same time, you should be able to make a game with them as unlikely anyone will be playing, this will kill the online portion of this game fairly quickly.

But they say that you can´t make custom private matches, But I guess I can play with my friends when I want, like in Mario Kart, but the other people will be random. Is not that?

That was my feeling too. I'll wait until we get some clarification either from Nintendo or a test as the wording here is really ambigous

Doesn't impact me anyway, as none of my friends has a Wii U atm

I have it pretty clear right now. If was only a confusion man. This is coming from gamnesia on a poorly written reference to this IGN comentary: 

The last thing that stood out to us was user customization. Splatoon doesn’t offer custom match types with friends like Smash Bros. Specific user settings for look sensitivity controls can only be adjusted before (or after) a match. So if you’ve set one too high (or too low) you’ll have to jump out in order to make adjustments. It feels slightly backwards for an action shooter released in 2015.

These still feel like small issues for a game capable of much grander ambition. Splatoon is fun to play. And it’s rewarding. Whether splattering foes with a roller brush or using it to claim a swath of territory, both actions come bundled with a thorough feeling of accomplishment.
