What is Splatoon? It's the next E-Sports baby! Splatoon is a 4v4 shooter for the WiiU where the objective is to get more paint on the map than your opponents by the end of the round. You can kill enemies by spraying them with paint, you get squid movements in your own paint, and you can launch yourself trampoline style


Currently, paint grenades are in the game, bazookas, rollers, and even a sniper rifle as well (mlg 360 noscope time)
Best game 2015 hype!

The strategic depth already showed in the few gameplay element we show has me in board.

I love that that's basically a deathmatch arena shooter but it's all about controlling space.

the thing I love is that personal aim doesn't decide games alone since you can be retarded but as long as you are shooting, you are still helping the team whereas this isn't the case for other fps games

Could be really good depending on the mechanics they implement.

Hey, that's a ripoff !

My 3 year old and the neighbour's daughters are playing this almost every day in summer.

I guess it becoming an "e"-sport actually saves alot of washing ...

my intial problem of this game is that it may took long to "paint" on large maps...
a loose painter would wreck havoc it successfully penetrated the opponent's territory...

This game is all about space control. If you let a loose painter deep into your territory, you didn't control that space very well.

The first concern is legit. This game doesn't look like its going to have large maps anyway though.


edit: I love the look of this game. I am so sick of CoD/BF but love FPS games. This alone could get me to buy a WiiU. I'm going to follow this game very very closly

I guess I'm one of the fews who didn't have time to catch up with E3 T.T

This game looks pretty legit though. How do you interfere with the other players? Can you paint them/incapacitate them somehow?

Slightly OT, but: what other game was it released that might (almost) warrant buying a Wii U?

You can shoot them and kill them, they respawn quickly though.

you can kill them with paint (with like 3-4 squirts), even when they're hiding inside their paint.

smash 4 honestly looks meh, but new mario kart is sick, new mario party, new zelda and zelda spinoff, new kirby/yoshi games, etc.

If you want a recap of what Nintendo is planning : http://press.nintendo.com/E32014/
login : Nintendo // Pw : E32014
Scroll down and you have link to youtube videos, screenshots, facts etc.
I'm glad Nintendo is still focusing on fun, group/family games.

This game looks like so much fun, i'm actually going to get a WiiU.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!
