Neal Ronaghan, Nintendo World Report	9/10	"The multiplayer, regardless of its lack of voice chat or randomized parties, is sublime, successfully making a shooter that is easy to hop into but tough to master. The single-player might be short and linear, but it's a wonderful change of pace from the frenzy of online play. Splatoon also represents a change of pace on a grand scale for Nintendo. This isn't something the company normally does and reinforces the notion that maybe they should keep on trying to make new games and worlds and stop remaking old ones. Hopefully, the game is a success, and they'll see this new direction pay off."
Alex Olney, Nintendo Life	9/10	"Everything is knitted beautifully and seamlessly together to create what is quite simply some of the most fun you can have online. Having been built specifically for online play it'll face the challenge of avoiding too many hiccups, but conceptually proves that the Big N is capable of keeping up-to-date with this particular modern gaming trend. The single player elements and the local multiplayer also present a way to enjoy the game when you're not geared up for the chaos that comes from fighting others online, and provide a useful reprieve if your internet cuts out. Splatoon is easily the freshest shooter in years and delivers superbly on all fronts; we have an inkling you'll love this."
Jose Otero, IGN	8.6/10	"Nintendo's take on the third-person shooter is refreshingly original, with lots of impressive tools, skillful mobility, and creative maps to play with. Matches are consistently fun and tense, and the mechanics feel simple and fair enough that almost anyone can contribute positively. Not having voice chat is a bummer, but the great modes and maps feel polished and kept me claiming turf for hours."
Philip Kollar, Polygon	8.5/10	"As of right now, it's hard to tell if Splatoon's multiplayer will be able to hold the attention of a community for longer than a few weeks. A lot is going to depend on how aggressively Nintendo builds on the existing game and for what price. As of launch, though, Splatoon has enough going for it between the single-player and multiplayer to keep me happy. Nintendo has built two separate gameplay tracks that use the same mechanic yet feel discrete. They're both a ton of fun, and they both have some obvious areas ripe for improvement. I can't say whether Splatoon will become the next big franchise for Nintendo, with sequels every generation and spin-offs and endless fanboy buzz. But after this strong debut, it certainly deserves some attention."
Chris Carter, Destructoid	8.5/10	"As a shooter it's refreshing, and as a 3D platformer it's up there with some of Nintendo's greatest creations. You'll quickly forget about the fact that you're playing Turf War over and over as you squid down an alley, leap across a gap, and shoot enemies in the air as you fall. All Nintendo needs to do is keep supporting Splatoon, because the foundation is fantastic. Impressive effort with a few noticeable problems holding it back. Won't astound everyone, but is worth your time and cash."
Ben Moore, GameTrailers	8.4/10	"Splatoon is a great game that may be outstanding in a few months' time. If Nintendo delivers in a big way with the planned free updates, it could absolutely be a must-have for the system. As it stands, Splatoon is a mechanically solid shooter set in a delightful world, but just doesn't have enough to it to truly make it exceptional."
Mike Minotti, VentureBeat	83/100	"Splatoon is clever, creative, and fun. The multiplayer is a fun twist on the team-based shooter. However, the single-player campaign is surprisingly the best thing in the game. It offers the kind of quality level design you'd expect from a Mario title, but with a healthy dose of shooter mechanics. The campaign isn't as long as one you'd find in a modern Mario game, and the multiplayer can get stale thanks to a current lack of modes and a bizarre restriction on maps. You might not play Splatoon for months, but you'll definitely enjoy it."
Peter Brown, GameSpot	8/10	"Nintendo's foray into shooter territory stumbles on occasion, but when I'm swimming through ink, covering environments in neon, and drinking in the quirky city of Inkopolis, I'm far more aware of how unique its mechanics are, and how enjoyable it is to play one match after another. In these moments - which is pretty much anytime I'm playing Splatoon - I forget about the lacking multiplayer features. Online matches are the core of the game, so it may seem weird that it's so easy to overlook things like missing voice chat, but I would be a fool to let missing features get in the way of the readily available joy I feel from simply swimming and shooting."
Dermot Creegan, Hardcore Gamer	4/5	"Splatoon is all about staying fresh, and despite its lack of content somehow manages to remain just as appealing after twenty hours as it was in its first. Its core gameplay is so unwaveringly solid that it's bound to only become better as more maps, weapons and modes are released in the months after launch, but even now Splatoon might just be Wii U's long-awaited killer app."
Alex Navarro, Giant Bomb	4/5	"Splatoon is simultaneously proof that Nintendo can still deliver tremendously entertaining experiences outside of its usual wheelhouse, and an example of how even the most leaden genres can be twisted to new and delightfully creative ends. If you own a Wii U, you ought to give Splatoon a shot - or, should I say, splat."
Sam Prell, Digital Trends	4/5	"Nintendo has committed itself to continual updates for Splatoon, including new maps, weapons and modes. It's not totally unreasonable to hope that the community features might be on their way. For now though, it's a disappointment. At the beginning of this review, I said that Splatoon was Nintendo's way of dipping their toes into the pool of competitive online gaming. And what a dip it is: colorful, fun, unexpected and satisfying. Now if only Nintendo would take off its arm floaties and dive in."
Kirk McKeand, Digital Spy	4/5	"While Splatoon isn't quite the revelation some were hoping for, it's stupidly fun. The only concern is longevity, with the brief single-player and only two main modes to play online. Whether it retains an audience will depend on the success of post-release support from Nintendo. For now it's a colourful distraction from the grey and brown battlefields of more traditional shooters."
Ryan Bates, GameRevolution	8/10	"Overall, Splatoon isn't a perfect game, but it's fun. Really, really fun. It's the start of a promising IP for Nintendo, and it's something unique for Wii U as an action-packed shooter that's also still capable of retaining its family-friendly image. It's the '90s paintball craze meets Call of Duty and it's totally da bomb and funky fresh."
Mike Williams, USgamer	4/5	"Nintendo takes a chance with this odd, risky rethink of the arena shooter. Splatoon moves away from guns and grit, offering a shooter anyone of any age can enjoy. The game's single-player is an absolutely amazing puzzle platformer that deserves some expansion. Multiplayer is a bit light on content at launch, but Nintendo is already promising more this summer."
Mollie L Patterson, EGM	8/10	"Nintendo's newest cast of characters leaves their mark on the third-person shooter genre in Splatoon, one of the freshest and most exciting competitive multiplayer experiences so far this year. It's just a shame that we'll need to wait a few more months for some of the game's basic functions to be fully implemented."
Brian Shea, Game Informer	7.75/10	"Splatoon has all the trappings of something fans have wanted from Nintendo for a long time: a unique IP that shows Nintendo can still dream up new experiences. As entertaining as it is fast-paced, Splatoon is a strong addition to the Wii U lineup. My enjoyment of what Splatoon has to offer is only offset by Nintendo's scant offering out of the gate."
Games™	7/10	"Nintendo is essentially confirming that Splatoon isn't complete at launch. The five maps are great now, but they'll grate if you're playing them over and over again for weeks on end while waiting for new content. What's here is undoubtedly clever and thoroughly entertaining, but it's also limited and given Nintendo's history with new IPs, be prepared for the possibility that its online community may have dwindled by the time the promised DLC makes up the fuller package envisioned."
Steven Burns, VideoGamer.com	7/10	"Worrying is the amount of content slated for months after launch which really should have been in the main game, such as 4-player teams. It really should be in from the get-go. We'll have to wait until launch to see how it performs out in the world, but so far Splatoon is by turns brilliant and frustrating, a Nintendo classic and a missed opportunity."
David Roberts, GamesRadar+	3.5/5	"The core gameplay offered is one of the freshest and most exciting things to come out of Nintendo in years. But I can't help but feel like this game should have come out three, maybe six months later, when all of the content is finished and included on the disc. As it stands, there's simply not enough game here on day one to make Splatoon anything more than a weekend curiosity, and there's no telling whether the content coming down the pipeline will be worth sticking around for."
Riley Little, Game Rant	3.5/5	"Splatoon is a game that will flourish based entirely on the number of continued users it maintains and the prowess of its online system, the latter of which was hit or miss during our pre-release playtest sessions. Still, this unique take on the shooter genre is one that shouldn't be missed by anyone that's looking for something that feels wholly unique, let alone fans of Nintendo. There are certainly short-comings that veteran shooter aficionados will pick up on right away, but the game's willingness to march to the beat of its own drum is admirable and often enjoyable - if not occasionally frustrating."
Sam Machkovech, Ars Technica	N/A	"We think this game would be a no-brainer if it received substantive changes, including weapon balancing, range increases, more arenas, more modes, quick loadout-swap options, friend matchmaking, and any form of team communication. We know some of those are coming, but we don't know exactly when nor how much. But until any changes come, Nintendo is pre-selling Splatoon at a full price that doesn't yet merit the cost or the level-grinding dedication of an online playerbase."
Martin Robinson, Eurogamer	N/A	"The daily refresh of stock in the plaza's shops and the drawn-out trickle of generous updates suggests the longer tail of other online games, while the rate of progression and the three-minute fights suggest something pithier, punchier and more poppy. It's those three minutes that really count, though, and it's there you'll find the genius and the joy of Splatoon. It's where you'll find a genre distilled, broken down and reassembled, with each piece snapping perfectly in place. It's where you'll find Nintendo charting new territory, and sharing with you the thrills of their own discovery."

For the amiibo gear brand of gear in Splatoon, see amiibo (brand).

amiibo are figurines produced by Nintendo that are equipped with Near-Field Communication (NFC) technology and can be used in a variety of Nintendo Switch, Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games, including Splatoon, Splatoon 2, and Splatoon 3.

In Splatoon

On 1 April 2015, Nintendo announced in a Nintendo Direct that Splatoon would be receiving three different amiibo on 29 May 2015. These amiibo, when scanned in Inkopolis Plaza, unlock twenty different challenges with five unlockable boss challenges in Octo Valley and new exclusive gear to wear into battle. The three amiibo that were announced were the Inkling Girl, Inkling Boy, and Inkling Squid, with the Squid only available as part of the three-pack in North America, and in Europe exclusively in a Splatoon + Inkling Squid amiibo bundle.

Over a year later, a second wave of figures was announced, including the Squid Sisters, Callie and Marie, and recolored versions of the three amiibo from the previous wave.

Gameplay

The amiibo case is located at the southeastern corner of Inkopolis Plaza and it appears as the packaging that amiibo traditionally come in. When scanning an amiibo (if the amiibo is registered) a flurry of ink circles the inside as the corresponding amiibo forms inside of it. The character introduces themselves and lays down guidelines for their challenges.

Each Wave 1 amiibo features twenty challenges if the single-player mode, Octo Valley, has been completed. The first challenge gives the player 600 cash as a reward, with the reward increasing by 100 for each challenge cleared. Each challenge can be completed again, though for only a reward of 100 cash. When three challenges in the same row are completed, the fourth challenge for that set is unlocked, being the boss for its corresponding area in Octo Valley. As opposed to a monetary reward, the boss challenges provide an exclusive piece of gear for the first three bosses, a minigame for the fourth, and a weapon blueprint for the final boss.

The Squid Sisters amiibo allow the user to view concerts in the Plaza, similar to a Splatfest. The three reskinned amiibo have the same behavior as their original counterparts. The challenge trees are shared between the original and reskinned amiibo.

Inkling Girl

“	Dude! Lemme tell you I am SO glad you called me! I'm pickin' up a fresh vibe from you. Tell me...are you a fan of charger weapons? Cuz that's my kinda thing—making up challenges where you gotta use chargers! Are you game? Come to think of it...you've been pokin' around down in Octo Valley, yeah? Yup, I saw you in that rad outfit, fighting those...things. It looked super fun! But you know what would be even radder? If you used a charger weapon! That's my challenge to you. Clear missions with a charger, and I'll hook ya up!	”

School Gear and Hero Charger Replica

The Inkling Girl amiibo was released on 29 May 2015 alongside Splatoon. It can be used to unlock twenty charger challenges in Octo Valley and rewards the player with an exclusive costume piece for every four challenges completed. After completing all challenges, the player completes the set and receives the exclusive School Gear along with the Squidball minigame and the Hero Charger Replica blueprints. It can be purchased individually or in a pack of three with the Inkling Boy and Inkling Squid amiibo in North America.

The original Inkling Girl amiibo is a light-skinned (the third skin tone from the left in Splatoon 2) Inkling with orange tentacles in the Hippie hairstyle and orange eyes. She wears the Fake Contacts, White Tee, and Pink Trainers and carries the Splattershot. She appears to be based on the female Inkling most commonly used to advertise the game, such as on the front cover and for commercials, along with the default girl Inkling.

Recolor

A recolored version of the Inkling Girl amiibo was released on 8 July 2016. Its functionality is identical to the original, but the character's in-game appearance matches the new model. The recolored Inkling Girl's skin color remains unchanged, but her tentacles are lime green and her eyes are magenta. She wears the Fake Contacts, the Black Tee, and the Black Trainers and carries the Tentatek Splattershot.

Challenges

These Octo Valley challenges must be completed with the Hero Charger:

Inkling Boy

“	Sup, playa?! Thanks a ton for callin' me up! I heard you've been makin' waves around the city. And I've got an inkling that you're the type of Inkling sic who's up for a challenge. Wanna give one of my roller challenges a go? I heard you've been doing work in Octo Valley. Wearin' that crazy getup, wreckin' Octobros and junk! That's when I knew for sure that you've got what it takes to try my challenges. All you gotta do is beat those same missions using a roller weapon! So are you game? I've got some dope rewards lined up if you can pull it off!	”

Samurai Gear and Hero Roller Replica

The Inkling Boy amiibo was released on 29 May 2015 along with Splatoon. It can be used to unlock twenty roller challenges in Octo Valley and provides the player with an exclusive character piece after every four challenges completed. After completing all challenges, the player completes the set and receives the exclusive Samurai Gear along with the Squid Racer minigame and the Hero Roller Replica blueprints. It can be purchased individually or in a pack of three with the Inkling Girl and Inkling Squid amiibo in North America.

The original Inkling Boy amiibo is a light-skinned (the third from the left skin tone in Splatoon 2) Inkling with dark blue tentacles in the Topknot hairstyle and blue eyes. He wears the Fake Contacts, Zink Layered LS, and Purple Hi-Horses and carries the Splattershot. He appears to be based on the male Inkling most commonly used to advertise the game, such as on the front cover and for commercials, along with the default boy Inkling.

Recolor

A recolored version of the Inkling Boy amiibo was released on 8 July 2016. Its functionality is identical to the original, but the character's in-game appearance matches the new model. The recolored Inkling Boy has dark skin (the fourth skin tone option in Splatoon 2), purple tentacles, and orange eyes. He wears the Fake Contacts, the Choco Layered LS, and the Gold Hi-Horses and carries the Tentatek Splattershot.

Challenges

These Octo Valley challenges must be completed with the Hero Roller:

Inkling Squid

“	Why, hello there, friendo! Thank you kindly for summoning me here. I can see you're just itching for some way to test your skills. Well, I've been thinking up some challenges that might float your boat! What do you say? Think you're up to the task? By the by, I hear you've been making quite a splash over in Octo Valley. In fact, I saw you at it! Wearing outlandish gear and fighting odd creatures! I think that proves you have what it takes to attempt my challenges. What do you have to lose? I have some nice rewards for you if you win!	”
— Inkling Squid

Power Gear and Hero Shot Replica

The Inkling Squid amiibo was released on 29 May 2015. It can be used to unlock sixteen Kraken and four limited-ink challenges in Octo Valley and provides the player with an exclusive costume piece after every four challenges completed. After completing all the challenges, the player completes the set and receives the exclusive Power Gear along with the Squid Beatz minigame and the Hero Shot Replica blueprints. It is available exclusively for purchase in a pack of three with the Inkling Girl and Inkling Boy amiibo in North America, and exclusively in a bundle with the main game in Europe. 

The original Inkling Squid amiibo is a green Inkling in squid form.

Recolor

A recolored version of the Inkling Squid amiibo was released on 8 July 2016. Its functionality is identical to the original, but the character's in-game appearance matches the new model. The recolored Inkling Squid is orange.

Challenges

The Inkling Squid amiibo allows players to complete specific Octo Valley missions in two ways: some can be completed as a Kraken with limited time, and others must be completed with limited ink. In the Kraken challenges, the player is given the ability to turn into a Kraken instead of a squid for the entirety of the level. In limited ink challenges, the player is given three or four full Ink Tanks to complete the level, but ink cannot be replenished. The challenges are as follows:

Squid Sisters

Promo image of the Squid Sisters amiibo

amiibo figurines of Callie and Marie were released on 8 July 2016. They can be used to unlock exclusive in-game Squid Sisters concerts, including two exclusive solo songs; one for each sister. Using either of the Squid Sisters causes the Plaza to take on its appearance during a Splatfest, and the player becomes colored after, and wearing a Splatfest Tee for, whichever Squid Sister was used. During the concert, no buildings can be entered, nor can Judd be talked to.

The Squid Sisters can perform the following songs, each with its own dance routine:

• Ink Me Up (Splatfest Battle)
• Now or Never! (Splatfest Battle - One Minute Remaining!)
• City of Color (Splatfest Plaza)
• Maritime Memory (Credits Sequence)
• Calamari Inkantation (Vs. DJ Octavio - Final Phase)
• Bomb Rush Blush (Callie's solo; can only be chosen with Callie amiibo)
• Tide Goes Out (Marie's solo; can only be chosen with Marie amiibo)

amiibo from later games

The Inkling Boy 2, Inkling Girl 2, Inkling Squid 2, and Inkling (Yellow) amiibo can be used in Splatoon, which identifies them as their original counterparts (with the original iteration's color).

The Pearl, Marina, Octoling Boy, Octoling Girl, Octoling Octopus, Octoling (Blue), and Smallfry amiibo are not identified by Splatoon, and are treated like non-Splatoon amiibo.

Other amiibo

The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Inkling amiibo can be used in Splatoon, which identifies it as the original Inkling Girl amiibo.

In Splatoon 2

amiibo in Splatoon 2 can save full equipment sets for quick selection in matches. The player's control settings (motion controls and sensitivity settings) are saved as well. They can also be used as in-game friends and players can take pictures with them. When taking pictures with the various Inkling Girl and Boy amiibo, the player can choose if they wear their original outfit or the gear saved to the amiibo. Upon registering the amiibo, it asks to befriend the player, who receives the first gift from the amiibo - a piece of headgear. Ten victories are needed to unlock the next reward. Saving to the amiibo in the gear selection screen grants the player all the rewards and the ability to immediately switch to the gear and weapon they had equipped while saving.

Inkling Girl (Splatoon 2)

The Inkling Girl amiibo was released on 21 July 2017 alongside Splatoon 2. It can be purchased individually or in a pack of three with the new Inkling Boy and Inkling Squid amiibo in North America.

The new Inkling Girl amiibo is a slightly-dark skinned (the fifth skin tone in Splatoon 2) Inkling with neon pink tentacles and orange eyes (though they appear pink in-game). She has the Haircut hairstyle and wears a skirt with small biker shorts underneath. She appears to be based on the default girl Inkling from Splatoon 2, along with the Inkling used to advertise Splatoon 2 in commercials and on the cover of the game. She wears the Fake Contacts, White King Tank, and Mint Dakroniks, and carries the Splat Dualies. After battling a certain amount, the player can earn rewards from the amiibo which are received in the following order:

• Squid Clip-Ons
• School Cardigan
• Fringed Loafers
• Split & Splat for Squid Beatz 2

Inkling Girl (Splatoon)

• Shellfie for Squid Beatz 2

Off the Hook

On 11 February 2018, amiibo figures for Off the Hook were announced.

They were released on 13 July 2018 sold in a two-pack for $24.99 in the US.

Each amiibo unlocks a theme for Squid Beatz 2 which changes the visuals of the game, as well as the sound effects played when entering the button prompts in the game.

When taking photos with Pearl and Marina, the player can choose if they will be dressed in their normal or Octo Expansion outfits. If the amiibo were used during a Splatfest, the player was able to take a photo on-stage with Off the Hook.

If the Octo Expansion outfits are selected, Pearl and Marina have poses themed after their roles in the story, such as Marina posing with her laptop that was seen in the fight against Commander Tartar and the NILS Statue, or Pearl posing with the microphone she used prior to the same fight, when she rapped with Cap'n Cuttlefish.

It was released as a three-pack along with the Octoling Boy and Octoling Octopus, as well as separately. Unlike the other standard Splatoon amiibo, it, the Octoling Boy, and the Octoling Octopus all have the same colored ink.

The Octoling Girl is slightly tan (unknown skin tone for the figure itself, but the fifth skin tone in Splatoon 2) with orange eyes, the Tentacurl hairstyle, and reddish-pink ink. She wears the Agent 8 outfit from the Octo Expansion along with the unique backpack-like ink tank, and poses with an E-liter 4K. Her knelt-down stance is the same one used in promo images with the Octoling Boy, although instead of looking straight at the screen, she is looking to the side.

The rewards given by the Octoling Girl amiibo are as follows:

• Enchanted Hat
• Enchanted Robe
• Enchanted Boots
• #5 thirsty for Squid Beatz 2

amiibo from later games

The Inkling (Yellow) and Octoling (Blue) amiibo can be used in Splatoon 2, which identifies them as Inkling Girl 2 and Octoling Boy, respectively. The Smallfry amiibo is not compatible.

In Splatoon 3

amiibo have similar functionality in Splatoon 3 as they do in Splatoon 2, giving mostly the same gear. However, no songs are given for Squid Beatz due to the minigame's removal. amiibo once again give rewards on a ten-victory system; however, they start with shoes first instead of headgear like in Splatoon 2. Using an amiibo with data from Splatoon 2 causes it to recognize the player and immediately give all of its rewards, though the previous data must be deleted for it to be able to befriend the player. The player can scan in an amiibo to take pictures with them around the hub world just like in Splatoon 2. This time, however, with a new dedicated Photo Mode in Splatoon 3, the player can simply open up the Photo Mode anywhere in Splatsville or Inkopolis Plaza, and scan the amiibo, as opposed to going up to the amiibo box every time they want to take a picture. amiibo can also be used to save currently equipped gear, player settings, camera options, and registered "Freshest Fits", which can then be reloaded by scanning the amiibo in the gear menu.
