Splatoon 2 – Summer 2017 (Switch)
The original Splatoon was a wildly different game for Nintendo as it was a team-based shooter . However, Nintendo still made the title very family friendly and managed to put their trademark charm into it. You play as an Inkling, a squid kid that can literally transform between a squid…. and a kid. The whole point of Splatoon is to cover the battlefield with your team’s ink color, and control a majority of it. You can “splat” other players but the real focus is on controlling the map, making teamwork absolutely vital to Splatoon.
Of course, it really helps that Splatoon has an absolutely absurd and unique style. Everything about the game is unlike anything else, right down to the aesthetic and music. Splatoon 2 looks to add even more weapons and options for players. The original game already looks fantastic, but the added power of the Switch adds a level of sheen onto the world that makes it even better. The second game is also going to feature a single player mode, and being able to take your Switch with you makes it even more appealing. Whether playing it at home or on the go, Splatoon 2 is a title that younger fans should really enjoy.
