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. Challenge your friends in chaotic 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.
FEATURES:
- Team up and take on other teams in an action-filled battle to cover the level with as much ink as possible. Spray walls to access hard-to-reach areas.
- Covering more territory with ink unlocks powered-up super weapons that can be used to attack rivals or cover more turf.
- 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 into the ink with the tap of a button.
- Select between multiple control options on the Wii U GamePad controller, including using gyroscopic controls to look around, allowing for better aiming and control.
- Hop online and battle in four-on-four matches.

Gameplay
Splatoon's main gameplay is oriented around online multiplayer, in which eight players are grouped into two teams of four and compete to cover the ground with their team's color of ink. Two main gameplay modes are available in online mode: Regular Battles and Ranked Battles. In Regular Battles, teams must cover the most ground with their color of ink in a certain amount of time. In Ranked Battles, players start with the lowest rank and can increase their rank by winning matches, or decrease it by losing. Two modes are available for Ranked Battles: Splat Zones, a "king of the hill"-style mode in which players must cover a specific area and hold control of it while a timer counts down, and Tower Control, in which players must stand on a tower in order for it to move toward a goal in the enemy territory. Another Ranked Battle mode has also been confirmed, known as Rainmaker, in which players must find the Rainmaker on the map and bring it to the enemy base.
During gameplay, players can shoot ink in their human forms, and can turn into squids in order to move faster by swimming through their own ink; trying to move through enemy ink slows them down. Players have three weapons: their standard weapon, their sub-weapon, and a special weapon that they can use by charging up a meter.
From the Inkopolis Plaza, the game's main hub, players have the option to either go to Octo Valley, the single-player campaign in which the player must save Inkopolis's Great Zapfish from the Octarians; the Training Dojo, in which two players compete to pop the most balloons; and Booyah Base, the series of shops in which players can purchase weapons and equipment that changes their stats with their in-game currency.
