Splatoon is a team-based third-person shooter which is playable by up to eight players in 4-vs-4 matches lasting 3 minutes. Players control characters known as Inklings, who have the ability to change between human and squid forms. In human form, Inklings are able to shoot colored ink across the game environment, with the player's goal being to have the most territory inked in their team's color before the match ends. Transforming into a squid allows players to swim through ink of their own color, even up walls and through grates, hiding from the enemy and replenishing their ink supply in the process. Conversely, enemy ink is much slower to move across in human form. Players can use their ink to try and 'splatter' their opponents, which will send them back to their team's respawn point whilst also providing a large splat of ink.

Players can use the Wii U GamePad to view a map of the surroundings and instantly launch towards the location of another teammate, as well as use gyroscopic controls to assist with aiming. Along with the standard ink gun, special weapons with limited ammo can be obtained, such as a paint roller, a bazooka, grenades, and a sniper rifle.


More info, provided from E3 Nintendo's website:

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. Challenge your friends in chaotic 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.*

FEATURES:

Team up and take on other teams in an action-filled battle to cover the level with as much ink as possible. Spray walls to access hard-to-reach areas.
Covering more territory with ink unlocks powered-up super weapons that can be used to attack rivals or cover more turf.
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 into the ink with the tap of a button.
Select between multiple control options on the Wii U GamePad controller, including using gyroscopic controls to look around, allowing for better aiming and control.
Hop online and battle in four-on-four matches.

Yayy Splatoon! Wait its being developed by EAD? Must have missed that part.. thats interesting, and cool.

When they showed the trailer I was interested but also unsure, but the treehouse event sold me on it, I can't get enough! Leave it up to Nintendo to make a shooter game fun and imaginative.

Besides ORAS, this was one trailer that really stood out to me. Honestly, I might buy a Wii U just so I can play this game. Interactive, colorful, and strategic aspects all make for quite the unique concept, and Inklings are so darn cute, ahh. Can't wait for Splatoon's release, but for now, I'll be patiently waiting for more details about the gameplay. d:
