ABOUT
Splatoon is an online shooting game from Nintendo for the Wii U. You play as an Inkling, a character who can switch between a kid and a squid, and in the main Turf War mode two teams of four try to cover more of the stage in their team's color of ink.
Because the goal is painting the ground rather than only defeating opponents, it is friendly to players who are not good at shooting games. Its stylish fashion and music gave it a strong identity, and it became one of the most popular game series among young people in Japan.
