Unlike most of Nintendo's classic games, Splatoon 2 is influenced by the online-shooter genre and molded by the youth culture of today. At startup, players create a character called an Inkling, a humanoid protagonist who can also turn into a squid. They're set loose on a trendy shopping district to hang out with avatars of other online players.

Inklings gather in teams of four, and battle in a high-concept form of paintball. The game favors teamwork and strategy over quicktwitch skills. A diverse set of weapons permit different forms of play.
