Splatoon Gets A Release Date, amiibo & More
Nintendo finally gave a release date to Splatoon during their Nintendo Direct this morning and its coming May 30th.
In addition to previously detailed single-player and online “Turf War” modes, action shooter Splatoon will feature a highly competitive “Ranked Battle” mode, which ranks and matches players based on their wins in 4-on-4 multiplayer matches. The super-fun and super-colorful game will also feature a “Battle Dojo.” In this mode, players can enjoy local 1-on-1 battles with friends. One player plays on the GamePad controller, while the other plays on the TV using a separate controller, competing to see who can pop the most balloons.
Even cooler, for those that collect them, amiibo figures are inbound for Splatoon, featuring the default girl and boy Inkings as well as a green Inkling.
With the green Inkling being exclusive to a tripple pack of the figures.
