What this is

Splatoon 2 is a Nintendo Switch video game released in 2017. It is the sequel to the original turf-war shooter where squid-like Inklings battle in colourful 4 vs. 4 matches. The cartridge contains the full base game with access to post-launch updates that added new weapons, stages and modes. It is made for players who want fast, team-based action on Nintendo hardware.

Who it suits and who should look elsewhere

This suits owners of a Nintendo Switch console who enjoy competitive multiplayer with motion-aim options and local wireless play. It also fits fans of cooperative horde modes through the Salmon Run activity. Buyers without a Switch system cannot play this title. Players seeking a single-player campaign with deep narrative focus or those who want cross-platform play with other consoles will not find those features here.

Behaviour under sustained play

Online Turf War and Salmon Run sessions run at a stable frame rate during extended matches. The game streams assets from the cartridge without noticeable hitching when moving between lobbies or loading new stages. Local wireless multiplayer maintains connection quality across multiple rounds when consoles are kept in close proximity. Post-launch updates download in the background and apply quickly between sessions.
