WII U - Splatoon

Get Inked!

Splatter enemies and claim your turf as the ink-spewing, squid-like characters called Inklings in Nintendo's new third-person action shooter game for the Wii U console.

Compete in four-on-four matches, in which the goal is to get your ink on as many places as possible and claim your turf, all while strategically submerging yourself in your team's colors and blasting your enemies. This is a colorful and chaotic online third-person action shooter – exclusively on Wii U.

Think while you ink

Strategy is everything. Defeat enemies to splatter them in an explosion of ink, covering more turf for your team. But choose wisely: Players who only go after the enemy might find their turf redecorated in their enemies' colors.

Refill ink tanks, hide from opponents or move faster by turning into a squid and diving intoink with the tap of a button.

Covering more territory with ink unlocks powered-up super weapons that can be used to attack rivals or cover more turf.
