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.

Like the first Splatoon , Nintendo's sequel to their smash hit isn't your average multiplayer online shooter. You play as an inkling, a humanoid/squid hybrid that uses different items, like guns and rollers, to spread colored ink on the ground and other surroundings.

I tried so hard to like Splatoon 2. I drank the Kool-Aid, and listened to the fan-boys. There are just too many parts of Splatoon 2 that are obnoxious. First thing that happens when we get into this game is to listen to two female squid characters about the different online options and modes that...

Let's get something out of the way right away: I have yet to play Splatoon on the Wii U, even though I bought it at launch. That means I can't meaningfully compare the new game in the series to its predecessor, but I can address Splatoon 2 on its own merits.

Splatoon 2 used to be so much fun for me, but it's expensive! Now my Splatoon won't allow me to play online because you have to pay an additional amount to play with others. You can still play solo though. I don't know if anyone has the same problem

Watch a game play video. If you think it looks fun you'll love it. If you don't think so, don't try it. I'm really enjoying this game so far playing alone and with irl friends online.

I love this game and if I were reviewing its gameplay it'd get a solid 4/5 stars BUT instead I'm leaving a remark to warn buyers from Australia/NZ! This Amazon listing shows a UK version of the product. The region of your Switch game rarely matters, but this is one to watch out for!

With its release on the Wii U in 2015, Splatoon added the typical Nintendo flair to the existing third-person shooter genre and was a hit game on an underrated console. Now back, bigger and brighter, Splatoon 2 splashes its way onto the Nintendo Switch in style – boasting a better Story Mode, new...

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.

S platoon 2 gets so much right that it's easy to ignore the occasional baffling ways in which Nintendo has failed to score into an open goal. Not least missing the chance to call the game "Spla2n".
