When E3 happened this year, I decided to tune in to Nintendo's E3 stream, and boy was it sweet! For about three days it was nothing but games, games, and more games, with the first day capped off by the first offical Sm4sh tournament. The games shown were of the usual fare; there was a Mario game, a Kirby game, a Yoshi game, the newest Smash Bros, etc. But who would of thought, with the near-constant stream of Mario games and the like, that there'd be a new original IP from Nintendo?

Enter Splatoon, a Third-Person Shooter game that involves two teams of four kids with the ability to transform into squids shooting super soakers full of ink at other kids with the ability to transform into squids. The object of the game is NOT to kill the opposing team and get the most kills (Though you still can) , but to cover the whole area in your team's ink. This, along with Codename S.T.E.A.M., were the two new IPs announced and shown off at E3 this year.

With its odd premise, cutesy design, and incredibly competitive gameplay, Splatoon made an intensly positive impression on viewers. SInce E3, information on this new game was scarce. At least until this November, where a second trailer was shown, detailing the single player mode. In Single Player, you have to fight against and defeat the Octopi Army and prevent them form taking over the Inkling's World ie. the surface world.

Myself? I'm quite intrigued by this game, and will be keeping abreast of any info to trickle out. The game comes out second quarter 2015 only on Wii U.

So until then, SPRITES!!
