It isn't exactly the first store I would like to for a squirt gun or any kind of toy beyond a video game, but apparently, Nintendo has made a rather weird decision as far as marketing for Splatoon 2 goes You'll soon be able to purchase Splatoon squirt gun at Gamestop. The retail chain will now be[...]

This one you see below which will now be preserved for all of eternity online because Nintendo made a big deal out of it! That's[...]

The Splatoon 2 Global Testfire came and went this weekend, and aside from the frustration of having matches be shut down right as the clock ticked over at the one-hour marker, and the timings being super insane for some people, I thought the weekend was kinda fun So here are some random thoughts from the[...]

Splatoon was a huge hit for Nintendo, taking the companies fanbase and making them mad for a brand new IP. Well, it seems we are ready for a new installment already Many speculated the Splatoon that would turn up on the console, but most thought it would just be a modified version of the first[...]

It will also have two player co-op and a demo is being prepped for the press in January. On top of that, they report that the more expensive version of the console will come with a pack in of Splatoon, which will have new single player content, and new 1v1 multiplayer mode.

It really is a unique online experience. Full Review #24: Splatoon Splatoon is something quite different The game is a shooter, but with a very Nintendo Twist Instead of the main focus being killing opponents, it's instead on just trying to cover a map in as much ink as possible It's totally unlike anything else around, with a[...]

Adam Cook writes for Bleeding Cool… You've got to hand it to Nintendo, they've supported Splatoon well, even if it took some time to fully get going. That there will be new stages, including a museum that showcases some of the world's art off It is also adding the Mahi-Mahi Resort which looks like some kind of[...]

The variety that it can house is quite something and will make sure there is always worthwhile content there when the game turns on. To show off just how far you can push the creator, the Disney developers went and made a parody of Splatoon It's called Squid Wars, looks janky and a bit rubbish, but[...]

You can place some of your Amiibo on your Wii U gamepad and then take control of a corresponding 8-bit sprite in the game. And the Splatoon figure's capabilities might be the most adorable As Destructoid pointed out, Nintendo Japan posted this video, showing you can play as a kid on land and then a squid[...]

Splatoon has been the biggest new IP from Nintendo that I can remember in a while It absolutely specialises in fun, colour, strategy and has a pretty surreal edge to boot It absolutely is one of the best new franchises this year. And the sales reflect that In an earnings report (via Gamespot), Nintendo have revealed[...]

Splatoon is a rather lovely game, and I have had a great time being a kid now, and a squid now, and a kid now, and squid now and etc. The game has been receiving free updates since its launch meaning the sparse content the game launched with has been built into a large pile of[...]

Splatoon is just a great time The game has really taken off in ways I didn't expect, and the pretty persistent marketing campaign means that the game has been flooding kids TV channels for weeks. That is relayed in the news that hit this morning that the game has sold 1 million copies since launch It[...]

However in lieu of another triple A game series we have a collection of titles that celebrates a more strange and artistic spirit.  Nintendo has a game for their often neglected Wii U, and there is another retail release whose existence is kind of baffling.  The upside is we have an excellent crop of downloadable titles[...]

I had many frustrating nights talking to someone in the Mario Kart 8 lobby only to realise you can't continue your conversation once you are in the race. Perhaps that's why it shouldn't be too surprising that Splatoon isn't going to feature chat at all However, you'd think in a team based shooter, the coordination that[...]

None of these really inspiring the viewer with anything truly ground breaking. Luckily this was the only brief dip as we were shown early footage of Splatoon, a four on four, online multiplayer paint-balling game The concept, for each team to try and paint more of the level in their own colour, allowing the player and[...]
