New Splatoon Trailer shows Single Player

by on November 6, 2014
 

Today’s Nintendo Direct featured a new trailer for Splatoon that includes the first footage of the title’s single player mode.

In single player it appears that you will be playing as an inkling and doing battle against an army of tentacles monstrosities based on Octopus.

The key ink gimmick appears to be in full effect, with enemies able to spread opposing colours of ink, alongside ink spewing death traps and turrets capable of spewing massive globs of the stuff.

The trailer also seems to confirm that you will be able to customise your character’s loadout in multiplayer, with both a roller and sniper seen in full effect upon spawn. In previous demo builds, only the machine gun was available.

The trailer also seems to show new super weapons, such as the huge ink bombs and a temporary shield. In previous demos, only the rocket launcher was available.

Oh, and woolly hats.

With Splatoon set for a Spring release in Japan, and a Q2 release in Europe, it won’t be long until Nintendo’s curious shooter is in our hands.

If writing ability was a flavour, I would be the warming embrace of apple and cinnamon - wonderfully familiar and pleasantly spiced. Ever the optimist, I spend most of my game time diligently failing at fighting games (BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena being the preferred titles), Monster Hunter and Dark Souls. As you can surely ascertain from such preferences I'm a gamer at my most content when a title is punishing me, abusing my feeble abilities and forcing me to improve myself in order to overcome life affirming challenges. Feel free to question my opinions and such on Twitter, @Dalagonash, or find me on every gaming network available as Dalagonash.
