I'm okay with that. Take their time to have a solid launch. Plus it fleshes out Switch's summer lineup more anyways

Ah, thanks. Added to the OP

Disappointing but understandable. I did find it a little strange that in this week after the beta test the messaging had gone largely silent (the English Twitter account has been sharing some fanart and putting up a couple of character bios that you could more or less find on the website already) so I wonder how long this move has possibly been in the cards.

Good for them at least to prioritize the health of their staff over hitting the release date. This also gives me a little bit of hope that a few parts of the experience might actually change from beta feedback, now that there's more time between beta and release.

Wonder if this means May will be another beta test session or two.

I'm excited about the game but it was launching the same day as Xenoblade and a lot of other big stuff. More than enough to occupy me during the delay.

Like Xenoblade, X-Com, Borderlands, Bug Fables, Bioshock, etc. are all releasing that last week in May.

Understandable

A shame but understandable.

I felt like going after the late may like the original splatoon was a good call, so it sucks to see it delayed past that by a good month.
