Splatoon

Q: Is December 31, 2015 the actual release date?

The release date was confirmed yesterday by Nintendo as Friday, May 29, 2015.

Q: Will we be able to play turf wars with your friends locally instead of online, or can you only play the single-player mode offline?

It appears from recent demos on YouTube that Turf Wars will not be available on Local. If you mean single player mode to be 'Campaign' then yes that is only offline. The Dojo (1 on 1 battle) is local as well. And it looks like only one player can play online Turf Wars locally (unlike Call of Duty where one can use the Gamepad and the other can use the TV).

Q: can you use a Wii U pro controller? when I play the game with the gamepad my hands get tired and sore after just 15 minutes

Try disabling motion controls in the settings menu. I didn't last 15 minutes. Without the gamepad, you will be severely disadvantaged in multiplayer. It is required to use several of the special weapons and it is also used to navigate and for strategic purposes.

Q: does this game have splitscreen?

No, and it seems like it never will. They may eventually add more modes to the two-player local multiplayer using the gamepad and TV screen, but that already takes a huge chunk of extra resources from the console. I played Hyrule Warriors extensively both solo and co-op, and the game's framerate and draw distance are butchered by 2 player. Split-Screen adds a similar (but not nearly as steep) amount of extra resource usage on top of having another player on the gamepad. While 3v2 local battles with bots filling remaining slots for a full 4v4 local match SOUNDS really cool on paper, I bet it is technically infeasible given the way this game already pushes the hardware. Nintendo is a company that rarely adds features at the cost of the core experience.
