The one thing we shouldn't be baffled by, though, is the fact that Nintendo has delivered an excellent, unique game for everyone with a WiiU. It's a game that feels great from the moment you pick it up and just gets bigger, larger, and more involved as you continue on, full of charm and personality...

I'm happy about the quality of the item and the speed in which it was shipped to the store

appropriate for younger players - shooting balloons with paint, okay and each other and everything else. downside: only two local players in dojo mode. gave it four stars because we would love to have 4 player option.

Really well made, and it's nice how content is regularly updated (battle arenas, special events ('splatfests'), weapons, etc.).Two cons: Price ($[$]last I checked), and the fact you cannot use the old Wii controller + nunchuck for multiplayer.

As a player of multiplayer shooters, I was wondering how good a shooter by Nintendo could be. I love Nintendo but I was a little bit skeptical of shooting paint all over the place. After my brother got the game and told me how great it was, I decided to take the plunge. The verdict?

I enjoyed this game a lot, it combines an original take on MP shooter action with super slick mobility which reminds me of Jet Set Radio, one of my favourite discontinued series. It also has that game's bright and fresh Shibuya-style design aesthetic.

if you played this on the day it came out like me you would have thought it was disappointing but every week they add to it, new map, weapons, modes and now its a great game. would %100 recommended to all wii u owners

Easy to open and set up. Great items to purchase and easy game play on WII U. The game is so much fun. I love the different splatt guns and I love my girls who keep me updated on the latest outfits! Must try GAME for 2016.

Challenging; Easy to learn; Fun To Play; Good Audio; Graphics; Kid Appropriate

Poor/No Multiplayer Mode

Splatoon is a must have for Wii U owners. An amazing new twist on the shooter genre where winning is based on how much of a mess you can make and how well you can use your ink based arsenal. While the single player is fun and interesting, the online is where it's at.

Gameplay is highly addictive and a fresh new twist to the Shooter genre; Cultivates everyone of all skill levels; An amazing array of weapons since the August update ranging from guns(blasters) such as sub machine guns to more unique weapons like buckets and paintbrushes.

You can only play one mode in ranked matches until the game switches the modes; You can only play on two maps on turf war or ranked matches; No proper way of communicating with your team; Single Player mode is pretty short.

I bought this game for my kids and they love it. Would recommend to any parent who doesn't want to buy a shooting game for their kids but their kids want to play online not really a game for older kids, mine are between 10 and 5 years. Lots of fun.
