Splatoon

Splatoon is one of Nintendo's most recent intellectual assets, with Splatoon 2 frequently ranking among the most popular multiplayer games on the Nintendo Switch. With many of Nintendo's most successful series and titles centered on RPG/Action/Adventure, it's reasonable that the firm wanted to broaden its core audience by venturing into third-person shooters.

Splatoon's main characters are known as Octolings and Inklings, and they can shape-shift between two distinct forms (their human form and a squid-like form). Offline/online multiplayer and single-player modes in the game allow players to immediately become acquainted with the incredibly distinctive and creative gameplay. Cover your adversaries and the arena in ink in your human form.

Splatoon's graphic design is vibrant, energetic, and stylish, harkening back to the look of titles like Jet Set Radio (minus the cel-shading). The soundtrack is similarly pleasant and notable, making this a surprisingly underappreciated gem in the Wii U's catalog.
