'''''Splatoon''''' (スプラトゥーン ''Supuratūn'') is a third-person shooter developed and published by [[Nintendo]]. The game features battles between [[Inkling]]s, using weaponized [[ink]] to cover [[Turf|territory]] and "splat" opponents. The game was first revealed at the Nintendo E3 2014 Digital Event and was released for the [[Wii U]] on May 29, 2015.
 
''Splatoon'''s successor, named ''[[Splatoon 2]]'', was released for the [[Nintendo Switch]] on July 21, 2017. It includes brand-new weapons, gear, stages, modes, and also a new story, set two years after the original ''Splatoon''.
 
==Development==
[[File:Splatoontofu.jpg|thumb|An early design of ''Splatoon'' featuring blocks of tofu.]]
''Splatoon'' was first created by Nintendo Entertainment Analysis & Development in late 2013, directed by [[Yusuke Amano]] and [[Tsubasa Sakaguchi]], and produced by [[Hisashi Nogami]], longtime director for the [[nookipedia:Animal Crossing (series)|''Animal Crossing'' series]]. The team had thought of over seventy game ideas, but decided to focus on a game involving inking turf. At first, this concept featured black and white blocks of tofu with noses that sprayed ink.<ref>[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wiiu/splatoon/0/0 {{NES}} Iwata Asks: Splatoon: It Started With Tofu]</ref> The game featured a top-down view, allowing the tofu blocks to blend in with their splattered turf.
 
[[File:Splatoonrabbit.jpg|thumb|A later design of ''Splatoon'' featuring rabbits on an early [[Urchin Underpass]]. Note the almost-complete [[Splattershot]].]]
However, these [[character]]s presented a variety of problems, so development began on a different character that was vaguely humanoid in shape. A rabbit was chosen as the design, because its floppy ears would indicate what direction it was traveling when viewed from above. Many EAD developers criticized this idea, so ideas such as [[mariowiki:Mario|Mario]]<ref>[http://time.com/3747708/nintendo-shigeru-miyamoto/ 7 Fascinating Insights from Nintendo's Gaming Genius Shigeru Miyamoto]</ref>, robots and macho men were considered. The rabbits were later scrapped in favor of a squid, because the team wanted a character that made sense in regards to the environment and gameplay mechanics. The squids at this stage appeared to be squid-human hybrids, but it was decided that instead of this design, the game would feature humanoid Inklings with the ability to transform into squids.
 
A few weeks before release, the ''[[Splatoon Global Testfire]]'' application, a limited ''Splatoon'' demo, was released for the Wii U. Players could download it and play on the 8<sup>th</sup> and 9<sup>th</sup> of May, 2015, at 3:00, 11:00 and 19:00 UTC, for one hour at a time. A second Testfire event happened on the 23<sup>rd</sup> of May, 2015, at 22:00 UTC. Due to complications, the event was extended to run for two hours instead of one.<ref>[https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/602253558285643777 {{TWI}} Nintendo of America's tweet in response to the second Testfire's connection issues]</ref>
 
== Story ==
The single player [[Octo Valley (mode)|Octo Valley]] mode tells the main story of the game. Many years after the great Turf War, with the hope of invading the [[Inkling]]s' world, the [[Octarian]]s built an underground facility known as [[Octo Valley]]. After the disappearance of the [[Zapfish]] from the Inklings' world, the protagonist, wearing the [[Hero Suit]], must infiltrate the base and rescue all the Zapfish.
 
== Gameplay ==
''Splatoon'' is a third-person shooter game focused on online multiplayer battles, in which eight players are divided into two teams of four. In the game mode [[Turf War]], teams fight to cover the arena in as much [[ink]] of their team's color as possible. In [[Splat Zones]], they try to control certain zones for a set amount of time by covering the Splat Zone(s) in ink. Players have two main forms and may switch between the two at will: their humanoid form, in which they can use weapons to spread ink and splatter opponents, and their squid form, which they can use to swim through ink at great speed and up walls, recharge the player's ink tank faster (while in their own ink), and hide in their team's ink. Players can also utilize [[Sub Weapon]]s, such as [[Splat Bomb]]s, and [[Special Weapon]]s, such as [[Inkzooka]]s.
 
In the primary game mode, [[Turf War]], players are awarded points based on the amount of [[Surfaces|land]] they cover in their team's ink—the team that covers the most territory within three minutes wins the match.
 
''Splatoon'' also features a single player [[Octo Valley (mode)|Octo Valley]] mode, which sees the player travel to [[Octo Valley]] and traverse levels based on 3D-platforming and puzzle solving. 
 
Since its initial launch, ''Splatoon'' has received many [[DLC]] updates to introduce new stages, weapons, and wholly new gameplay modes to the game's multiplayer mode. In addition, Nintendo also announces and hosts semi-regular community events called [[Splatfest]]s where players pick a team to side with and play turf wars against each other for prizes and glory. Both upcoming DLC as well as upcoming Splatfest information can be read about on {{S'}} official Tumblr page, named [[Live from Squid Research Lab]].

In June 2015, a ''Splatoon'' manga was released by [[Sankichi Hinodeya|Sankichi]] called '''Splatoon''' (Splatoonスプラトゥーン ''Splatoon Supuratūn'', translating to Splatoon Splatoon) to celebrate its release in Japan. However, this was a fan-made one-shot, and the offical version was released in December 2015 as a one-shot type until April 2016.

== Trivia ==
* ''Splatoon'' is a portmanteau of "splat" and "platoon."
* The Inklings' squid form shares strong similarities with [[mariowiki:Blooper|Bloopers]] from the [[mariowiki:Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]].
* In the single-player trailer from the November 2014 [[Nintendo Direct]], a frame of artwork consists of Bloopers from the ''Super Mario'' series and [[zeldawiki:Octorok|Octoroks]] from [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]].
* According to an email sent by Nintendo, ''Splatoon'' was listed as the the top wish-listed game in Nintendo's eShop over the summer it was released.
