Ink-splatting action is back and fresher than ever. Get hyped for the sequel to the hit game about splatting ink and claiming turf, as the squid-like Inklings return in a colorful and chaotic 4 vs. 4 action shooter. For the first time, take Turf War battles on-the-go via local multiplayer in portable play styles. You can also compete in frenetic online matches like before. Two years have passed since the release of Splatoon, and two years have also passed in the game world, leading to an evolution in fashion trends and new styles of weapons and gear. Staying fresh never looked so good.
New weapons – New dual-wielding Splat Dualies join the action, complete with a new Dodge Roll move. Mainstays like the Splat Roller and Splat Charger have also been remixed to include new gameplay mechanics and brand-new special weapons.
Local and Online Multiplayer – In a first for the series, compete in local multiplayer Turf War battles, whether in TV mode or on-the-go in handheld or tabletop modes. Online battles also make a return.
New ways to play – Play using the Joy-Con controllers or the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, both of which allow for gyro controls for better aiming and control.
New Trends – Two years have passed since the release of Splatoon in real life, and two years have also passed in the game world. Some familiar characters return under different circumstances, and new characters are introduced as well.
Fresh Updates - Similar to Splatoon for Wii U, updates will roll out post-launch, adding new content.
Smart Device Support – An upcoming smart-phone application for the Nintendo Switch system will enhance matchmaking and allow for voice chat options.
Turf War – Iconic 4 vs. 4 Turf War battles return. The goal is to splat ink on as much territory as possible, while strategically submerging yourself in your team's colors and blasting your enemies.

Good just wish had multiplayer on one console.Really enjoy the game. Wish didn’t have to pay for online account but so be it. Also wish could be multiplayer on one device to play with my son together. Otherwise great game super enjoyable, one person shooter concept game without the blood and guts compared to other games. But still gives the shooter feel.

SplamazingI originally loved splatoon one, but when I saw that there was a splatoon 2. I was a little skeptical. This game is absolutely amazing in every way shape and form.

Would this require the online membership later on
Asked by: Droog
Yes...and that was very disappointing. I haven't touched the game since the first day that I owned it.

Do you need a bigger sd card for the game
Asked by: Future buyer
Not really. It's pretty self contained. Only a couple gigs for the physical copy. Digitally might be a little bit more but not a lot.
