The squid kids, known as Inklings, are making a triumphant return to the gaming world in a vibrant and chaotic 4-on-4 action shooter that’s sure to captivate players of all ages. This time, they’re bringing even more ink-splatting fun to the Nintendo Switch system, offering a unique gaming experience that can be enjoyed anywhere, anytime. In this exciting sequel, the Inklings are back to claim more turf and splat more ink in their signature Turf War battles. These adrenaline-fueled matches are the heart of the game, where teams of four compete to cover the most ground with their team’s ink. But that’s not all - for the first time ever, you can take these Turf War battles on-the-go, thanks to the versatility of the Nintendo Switch system. Whether you’re at home or on the move, you can dive into intense local multiplayer action and experience the thrill of Turf War battles right at your fingertips.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. In addition to Turf War, you can also team up with friends for a new 4-player co-op mode called Salmon Run. Here, you’ll work together to defeat waves of enemy Salmonids, adding a whole new layer of cooperative gameplay to the Splatoon experience.
Two years have passed since the original Splatoon game was released, and two years have also passed in the game’s vibrant city of Inkopolis. This means players can expect a fresh wave of fashion trends sweeping across the city, along with an array of new weapons and gear for their Inklings. From dual-wielding the new Splat Dualies to sticking with remixed mainstays like chargers and rollers, there are plenty of strategic possibilities to explore.
As always, Turf War remains the favored sport among Inklings, but there’s plenty more to enjoy. Whether you’re taking down Octarians in a robust single-player campaign, battling enemy Salmonids in a dangerous part-time job, or competing in ranked battles, there’s a mode for every type of player.
And no matter how you choose to play, you can do so with the Nintendo Switch. Whether you’re splatting ink at home or on-the-go, staying fresh has never felt so good.
Beyond the battles, Splatoon 2 also offers a wealth of customization options. Change up your Inkling’s style with different weapons, headgear, clothes, and shoes. But remember, gear isn’t just about looks - it also offers different boosts in battles, giving you an edge over your opponents.
And let’s not forget about amiibo. Splatoon 2 is compatible with all Splatoon series amiibo figures. By tapping these amiibo, the figure’s character will appear in the game and befriend players. Once befriended, these amiibo characters will remember your favorite weapons, gear, outfits, and option settings, adding another layer of personalization to the game.
So, are you ready to dive back into the ink-splatting action? With its colorful graphics, fast-paced gameplay, and plethora of modes and customization options, Splatoon 2 on the Nintendo Switch offers an immersive gaming experience that’s sure to keep players coming back for more.
