Splatoon 2 is just about everything you could ask for from a sequel. It builds on everything the original set up and then some; almost every single major issue people had with the first game has been resolved, showing that Nintendo is genuinely listening and wants to deliver the absolute best...

The freshest and most stylish active Nintendo franchise has made its way onto the Nintendo Switch with Splatoon 2 . For those of you who played the first iteration on the Wii U or played during the various Testfire and Splatfest events, you know exactly what to expect from Splatoon 2.

Fast paced; fun gameplay; Solid single player mode; Smooth; vibrant visuals

Feels very similar to the original; Somewhat repetitive

Splatoon was the perfect game on the wrong console. After years of fans pleading with Nintendo they brought a new IP to the Wii U, it's just that the audience never pitched up. Now they've brought all that addiction and fun to the Switch in the form of a sequel.

Salmon Run is great fun in co-op; A campaign that deserves to be played; Turf War - there's not much else there as competitive as it; Joining your friends online is easy

Finding online games can take a while (likely because of limited players at the moment; You'll miss having the Wii U Gamepad to check the map

Splatoon's emphasis on fast-paced ink multiplayer gameplay has always been a staple in the series. The original game proved to be a huge hit for Nintendo , introducing a fresh new take on multiplayer while moving away from the traditional arena shooters we are so used to.

At launch, Nintendo is adding voice chat through a smartphone app. Voice chat was conspicuously absent from the original game, and though I was unable to test it in Splatoon 2's pre-release environment, it's not a necessity for enjoying the multiplayer.

A few extra bells and whistles keeps Splatoon 2 relevant and fun on its new platform, but Nintendo plays it a little too safe for hardened Splatters.

Splatoon 2 doesn't add much to shake up the splat-paint-everywhere formula, but I wonder if it needs to at this point. Splatoon 2 is a much stronger game at launch than its original ever was through its whole lifespan, and for that, is easily one of the best games one can own on the Switch.

One of the most highly thought of games from the Wii U is, without a doubt, the original Splatoon . Its distinct brand of quick-fire, four vs. four territorial paintball multiplayer, where the objective is to cover the map in as much of your team's ink as possible, turned out to be a winning...

If you're one of the people who never got to play Splatoon on Wii U (and let's face it, there's plenty in that boat) there's a chance you'll fall instantly in love and be blown away by Splatoon 2. Thi

Stunning art style and execution; Exhilarating combat and movement; Plenty of content

Stupid map rotation; Salmon run online is timed; Too much repeated from the first game

By the end of every multiplayer match in Splatoon 2, I could feel my blood pumping with adrenaline. Even when being utterly suppressed by the enemy team, there's an exhilarating rush as you fire off every round possible, the entire arena soaked in bright ink.

Turf War is still awesome; Great new weapon types; Plenty of multiplayer options both online and local

Feels more like a minor upgrade than a sequel; Salmon Run lacks challenge; teamwork; Campaign is better than before; but not enough to sell the game on alone
