Splatter enemies and claim your turf as the ink-spewing, squid-like
characters called Inklings in Nintendo's new third-person action shooter
game for the Wii U console.

Compete in four-on-four matches, in which the goal is to get your ink on
as many places as possible and claim your turf, all while strategically
submerging yourself in your team's colors and blasting your enemies.
This is a colorful and chaotic online third-person action shooter –
exclusively on Wii U.

Think while you ink

Strategy is everything. Defeat enemies to splatter them in an
explosion of ink, covering more turf for your team. But choose wisely:
Players who only go after the enemy might find their turf redecorated
in their enemies' colors.

Refill ink tanks, hide from opponents or move faster by turning into a
squid and diving intoink with the tap of a button.

Covering more territory with ink unlocks powered-up super weapons that
can be used to attack rivals or cover more turf.

More ways to play

Select between multiple control options on the Wii U GamePad
controller, including using gyroscopic controls to look around,
allowing for better aiming and control.

Hone your skills in Octo Valley, the single-player mode that will have
you inking, splatting, and squidding through platforming puzzles as
you take on the Octarian army.

Battle a friend one-on-one at home in a balloon-splatting contest in
Battle Dojo.
