Nintendo of Japan's official Splatoon twitter account revealed the launch of a dedicated friend networking service for the game. I don't know if or when an English release will launch nevertheless it's still pretty interesting. The tweet translations are as follows:
1. "For everyone battling online we're launching a friend networking service called "Ikaling" starting today. Login with your Nintendo Network ID and you can see at a glance your friends' play statuses."
2. "In Ikaling, you can input your planned battle times beforehand so that you can let your friends meet up with you. It's linked to Twitter, so you can make plans that way too. If you see a friend who meets your schedule, go and enter a battle together!"
3. "In Ikaling, you can see the rankings amongst your friends. Score is calculated individually for both Turf Wars and Ranked Battles based on how many times you've won and win percentage. It is reset every week on Sunday at midnight, so you can compete with your friends every week."
Here is the site.
