The original Splatoon was a fever dream in many ways. The last high profile new IP Nintendo fans got their hands on before then was Pikmin, and the thought of using the words "Nintendo" and "shooter" in the same sentence stemmed from nothing but a "What if?", followed by images of some nightmare Smash Bros. spin-off. Splatoon's popularity on the Wii U wasn't just a result “right place, right time” on a failing console. It instantly rose to the upper echelon of Nintendo's premier multilayer franchises, while also subverting and adapting itself into one of the most entertaining multiplayer shooters at first swing. Splatoon 2 is among Nintendo's fastest sequels, and because of that, it's very iterative of its predecessor. However, it brings just enough changes to make it feel like a different and better enough experience while still holding onto some Nintendo-ass limitations.
Development builds of several titles for the Nintendo Switch, including Splatoon 2 and Project Harmony, have reportedly been leaked.
o matter what the reasoning is behind Splatoon 3’s lack of content and substance in the first half of its paid expansion, Wave 1: Inkopolis is certainly not worth any fan’s money and should have always been viewed as a small bonus to tide fans off from what’s still to come.
A new version 5.5.1 update has just gone live for Splatoon 2.
