Splatoon 2 Switch



Overall, I had more fun playing Splatoon 2 at the Switch preview than I did with any of the other games (Breath of the Wild is amazing but a 20-minute preview just wasn ' t enough!). If the release date was set in stone, I ' d be counting down the days until I can play it again.

  2. Splatoon 2 Switch Rom
  3. Splatoon 2 Switch Lite
  4. Splatoon 2 Switch Lite

Note: The multiplayer modes in Splatoon 2 require that each player have their own Nintendo Switch system and copy of the game. (Split-screen multiplayer is not available.)

  1. Splatoon 2 is another great Nintendo Switch game, but its biggest problem is it tries to straddle both lanes, and in doing so doesn’t feel like a full sequel nor a ‘deluxe’ edition of its.
  2. Splatoon 2 The squid kids called Inklings are back to splat more ink and claim more turf in this colorful and chaotic 4-on-4 action shooter. For the first time, take Turf War battles on-the-go with the Nintendo Switch system, and use any of the console’s portable play styles for intense local multiplayer1 action.
