Players can freely swim through their own team’s ink for faster traversal and surprise attacks. Turf War is great, fast-paced fun as each team battles to claim as much of the map as possible while also keeping opponents at bay. Splatoon 3 is set to add even more weapons including a crab walking, multi-legged vehicle called the Crab Tank and an ink-firing bazooka called the Trizooka (more on this below). Splatoon’s got quite a fun assortment of weapons - from the rapid-firing Splattershots to a literal giant paint roller, each weapon comes with its own build of sub-weapons and powerful special weapons. Keeping with Nintendo’s family-friendly vibe, weapons in Splatoon fire colored ink as opposed to bullets, and can be used to cover the map as per the objective, or to temporarily incapacitate your opponents. This is achieved via the player’s loadout of weapons. Its flagship multiplayer mode, Turf War, tasks two teams of four players to cover as much of the map as possible with their team’s ink. This feature ties heavily into Splatoon’s gameplay.
Splatoon mp3 series#
The series focuses largely on multiplayer battles between Inklings and Octolings - adorable humanoid characters that have the ability to transform into squids or octopi to swim through colored ink - but, unlike in previous titles, in Splatoon 3 players will be able to choose whether they want to be an Octoling or Inkling (which you can customize) from the beginning of the game. The first entry in the series, Splatoon, was first released on Wii U in 2015, with the sequel Splatoon 2 releasing for Nintendo Switch in 2017. Splatoon 3 is to be the third and latest installment in the Splatoon series.
Splatoon is good, wholesome, chaotic fun (Image credit: Nintendo) The trailer closes out with a look at Splatoon’s familiar competitive multiplayer, which looks largely unchanged barring some new weapon types and a new way to enter an arena at the start of the match. The Inkling then boards a train before they find themselves in Splatoon 3’s new hub city of Splatsville. Our Inkling makes their way through a post-apocalyptic, arid landscape, and it looks like someone suplexed the Eiffel Tower, as the ruined structure is half-buried upside down in the earth.
Splatoon mp3 plus#
This is a definite plus in terms of inclusivity and allows players to access hairstyles that were previously gender-locked.įrom there, the trailer leads into what looks to be a brief glimpse at a single-player mode. Familiar options of hairstyles, eye color and legwear remain, but it looks like Nintendo is doing away with making players choose one of two genders. Interestingly, previously gendered options (players could choose to be a boy or girl Inkling) appear to be gone. The trailer opened with what looks to be the initial customization phase of your playable Inkling and their “buddy,” which appears to be a Salmonid - prominently featured as enemies in Splatoon 2’s Salmon Run mode. The Splatoon 3 announcement trailer gave us our first look at the upcoming game.
