I was thinking about getting a WII U and the game Splatoon because it looks like a paintball shooting game. Is it fun and what do you do in the game? Is it all battles from what I've seen in YouTube videos or there an actual side quest because that's what I'm into. Do you run and jump from platform to platform like in Sonic Adventure?

I also heard you can play online with other people. So are there leagues and stuff?

So who has played this game? I'd like to hear what you think about it.

I'm actually interested in playing the game to learn more about it in order to get ideas for Bluejay's Quest 3D. I was thinking of having the bird gobble up some watery berries and spitting out the pulp at other adversaries. This would take place in mid air, though, but need to play the game in order to learn more and need feedback on whether or not the game is worth playing.

I guess no one plays this game. Miyamoto said he doesn't like the game either.

It's a pretty standard team-based shooter, modulo Nintendo cuteness. If you like team-based shooters, you'll probably enjoy it.

Keep in mind, there aren't that many shooter-like games on Nintendo platforms, which might account for Splatoon having a slightly outsize popularity

Also, if you can afford it, I'd get a Switch and Splatoon 2 instead. Lot of good games on the Switch already.

Very cool. I'm thinking of creating a team based bicycle jousting game called The Trail Hogs so I might get the game just to build more on this idea.

What is Splatterfest? I heard about it but what is it? Is it a real event in the game?
