Splatoon is a wild new game from Nintendo that combines the creative and family-friendly fun Nintendo is known for with ink-spraying, turf-claiming action. Starring squid-like characters called Inklings, players compete with each other to splatter arenas and each other with colorful ink, trying their best to cover more turf than their opponents. The game launches exclusively for Wii U on May 29. |
