Splatoon is Nintendo's team shooter game where you take a paint gun and cover the entire level in ink.

It's super fun and thematically appropriate. Presumably at least some of you are playing it.

This thread is for talking about the game, and for adding people as friends so you can play Turf Wars mode with them.

My Nintendo Id is "JustWhie" for anyone who wants to friend me.

I fucking love Splatoon! Unfortunately, my Nintendo Network ID would give away my secret identity, so sorry, I cant give it away.

What I can say is that while the game is not really great for the WAM community, it would be perfect for us if it was a real life sport!

There was a video floating around here of a real life promo for Splatoon with ink guns and attractive women included. Looked super fun but I can't find it now.

Regrettable, but understandable.


The way I see it, a simulation of someone's perfect sport can still be their perfect game.

From a worldbuilding point of view, Splatoon is basically the most WAM-centric game possible, because it shares our central conceit - that "splatting" and "being splatted" is fun, desirable, and hip. It's built right into the character designs and the attitude of the arena. Even with just the memes in the plaza, that's more people playing around with the concept than you'll find anywhere but old school Nickelodeon.

I'd absolutely love it if we adopted this game as our own.


And a game question for anyone - what weapon or weapons are you best with or do you find yourself using the most? Or do you tend to switch it up a lot?
