Splatoon 2
Nintendo has a way of adapting things into a family-friendly environment, and that’s exactly what Splatoon does with the shooter genre. This colorful title almost feels like a Saturday morning cartoon in some ways, with utterly absurd characters, antics, and music. Splatoon has you playing as an Inkling of Inkopolis, where Turf Battles reign supreme. Unlike most shooters the goal of each match isn’t to get the most kills, but instead ink the most turf with your team’s color. This has proved to make Splatoon wholly unique, and a blast to play for most types of players, as you can focus on different things, like simply inking turf or splatting other players. The whole aesthetic of everything also means that Splatoon 2 is fairly non-violent, making it a perfect option for younger audiences.
Splatoon 2 is easily one of the strongest games on Switch this year, and Nintendo’s focus on family fun means that younger audiences can enjoy it both on their own and online.
