Though I think Splatoon 2 doesn't offer very many new and revolutionary concepts from the first Splatoon, it keeps all of the fun that I first enjoyed. I still love the game and would encourage everyone to play, even if you played the first and are unsure. Happy hunting!

I was disappointed that it was on 3DS and not switch but that didn't stop me from really enjoying the game. The game has less systems and simpler systems than the recent FE games(Awakening/Fates) which makes it more accessible for players who don't normally play this type of game. I played on normal casual and have been able to play through the story with a good amount of difficulty and have not had to grind.

This is call of duty without the blood. Fun for kids and adults to their kids alike. The ink allows squids to swim in ink, so there is even more creative tactics in this first person shooter than any other shooter I have seen. Paint ball fun for everyone!

This was a gift for our child. I can tell you that he was beyond thrilled and has enjoyed the latest edition of Splatoon. The graphics on the Switch are better than the Wii U and the gameplay seems a bit smoother. The controllers respond well. Overall this is a big hit.

A great sequel to the original, this game has better controls since you can use motion controls to adjust your aim which was lacking in the Wii U original. A fun game that kids can enjoy as well as older gamers who can get into the more competitive scene.

I had originally played Splatoon 1 on the WiiU but fell out of it because not many friends of mine had WiiUs and those who did didn't have the game. But picking up the sequel has rekindled my love for the game and I'm reminded why I loved the first one.

I'm a big fan of the first game, and so are my kiddos. We picked this game up when it was released and my kids are much better than me and enjoy playing this game. Highly recommend to add this title to your Switch library, even if you own the first one on the Wii U.

Splatoon 2 builds upon the heart of the original Wii U surprise hit. The core gameplay of Splatoon has only been made better. As a parent, I appreciate the fact that the game is still fun and engaging, but safe for my 6-year-old. The game plays well both hand-held and docked mode. The only reason I am docking a star is due to the lack of local split-screen multiplayer. It's quite the unfortunate omission.

I really love splatoon and this one is a lot better than the first but im still let down by the online matchmaking and the way it is set up. Not a fan of having to leave the lobby to switch weapons or not being able to easily match up with a friend. Usually have to just hope we end up on the same team. Otherwise I love the story portion of the game and all the weapons, clothes and maps.

Great variety of multiplayer options with frequently changing content - the game scales with you as you improve. This is my favorite multiplayer option on Switch! Controls are easy to learn and the design is fantastic.

The multiplayer is so fun against a lot of people! Just splattering ink all over the place and beating the other team. Story mode is pretty okay but the DLC(costs extra $20) is pretty awesome. New [slight] character designs, new story mode, new costumes.

I'm terrible at first person shooters but starved for games on my switch so I thought I would give this a try. It is actually a lot of fun to play. Only thing I don't like is it comes default set to using the motion controls (aka moving your switch around to face different directions). When I switched it to the joysticks, the game played way better and more to what I would expect. I highly recommend it.

I was a big fan of Splatoon on the Wii U, and this updated version takes everything that was fun and great about the first one and makes it 10X more fun! I love jumping online to play a quick match when I'm on my lunch break at work or killing time in a waiting room.

I saw this on the Wii U a few years ago and thought nothing of it. Then my coworker told me to get it for the Switch and it is so much fun! I'm not that good but still fun. The Nintendo app lets you buy gear and you can pick it up when you're in game. Pretty cool.

Nintendo doesn't understand online. We all know it. The map rotation of only have 2 maps at a time for each hopper is unnecessary and discourages long play sessions. Locking Salmon Run to only certain times just flat out sucks. Playing with friends isn't really fully supported (not always on the same team, etc.) But it's a fun game to play. It would be a perfect game if Nintendo understood online.

Not sure how to get two players without being online or if you even could, but I was hoping to be able to do two players local on the same screen, still don't know if you can... lots of fun either way and a nice way to win or lose without violence like other games.

Coming from Splatoon 1, this may feel like a remix, but things have never felt so fresh from a sequel. This game is all about online multiplayer, so be prepared to battle it out on different modes akin to capture the flag, king-of-the-hill, and deliver the payload.

Being more of a single player campaign style gamer, I found the single player campaign to just be kind of OK... it's the online multiplayer matches where this game really shines, but unfortunately, that's just not my thing... I think that those who do enjoy online play will enjoy this more, and for them I would recommend it... others might want to borrow/rent it first to see how they like it.

This is quite similar to the first Splatoon if you have played that. Some new weapons help mix things up and the addition of a coop Horde-like mode is great, but it's dumb that the mode is only available during certain hours. I was unable to play the mode for the first 8 days of owning the game since it didn't align with my schedule, which feels like a misstep for the biggest addition this game has.

I finally picked this up after hearing so many people rave about this game. I didn't think it would appeal to me at all but I was dead wrong! I'm completely addicted to this game! Definitely worth a pick-up, especially at the $45 price I got it for.
