About Splatoon 2

Splatoon 2 was released on July 21, 2017, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
The shooter is the successor to Splatoon, which was released in 2015 for the previous console, the Wii U.
The core elements of the gameplay have been adopted in Splatoon 2: In the district fight you have to color in as much area as possible in 4v4 games. The team that paints the largest area wins.
The Rangkampf mode offers different elements: The variants "rule", "tower command" and "operation goldfish" rely on modified rules and can be played from level 10.

The biggest innovation is the "Salmon Run" mode. Together with 3 other players (strangers or friends) you face opposing waves on different levels of difficulty.
Your goal is to defeat the salmonids, collect their eggs and deliver them in a basket. For successful missions you will receive points with which you can unlock special items and get money.
As in the previous version, there is a campaign in Splatoon 2, the hero mode. This offers completely new levels, worlds, bosses and a new story.
Also new are the league battles that you can play with friends as soon as you have reached rank B in the ranked fight mode. If you fight your way to the top, you will receive medals here.
There are various shops on Inkopolis Square where you can buy new equipment and weapons. In Splatoon 2 new brands / manufacturers have been added.
There are also new weapons, such as the blob doubler, which allows an evasive role. In addition, all special weapons in Splatoon 2 are completely new.
Splatoon 2 uses the different game modes of the Nintendo Switch. That means you can have color fights in TV mode, table mode or handheld mode.
You can play Splatoon 2 locally with a maximum of seven other players, provided that they each have a Nintendo Switch and a Splatoon 2 game module.
