Splatoon Base
Can you help us get it done?
Splatoon Base is a website dedicated for the advertisment of the Splatoon games. It has both a version on the Japanese Nintendo website, with text that can be set to either Japanese or English, as well as an English version on the North American Nintendo website.
It showcases a wide variety of elements to the Splatoon universe, such as music, fashion, and history. However, some of it's elements are outdated and fail to capture parts of Splatoon 3. Home functions as the main page, where visitors can quickly navigate to the following categories.
Overview
The Japanese website is divided into eight categories while the North American one features seven instead. While both are similar in structure and content, the Japanese version is currently more up-to-date.
