Splatoon is one of the multiplayer video games favorite of the Nintendo consoles players. The original game became quite popular with its colorful graphics and incredibly fun gameplay but the release of its sequel only improved its main features with new additions that take full advantage of the Nintendo Switch capabilities. Splatoon 2 is a third-person shooter that pits Inklings and Octolings in multiplayer battles for extreme fun. They use colored ink as ammunition for their weapons and since the players can heal themselves and swim very fast through any surface covered with the ink of their color, shooting at any paintable surface can be used for tactical means. Splatoon 2 features several team-based multiplayer modes but it also includes the new Salmon run mode, in which four players cooperate to fend off hordes of enemies and collect fish eggs.
