About
Splatoon is a third-person shooter announced for Wii U during the Nintendo Digital Event for E3 in 2014. Unlike other shooters, the goal of Splatoon is not to kill other players but instead to cover the battlefield with colored ink. Whoever has the most ink on the battlefield by the end of the match becomes the winner. Other mechanics include the ability to turn into a squid to swim quickly through ink of your own team’s color. Splatoon gained an immediate internet following for its unique game play.
