Nintendo's next major game is about to launch - here's everything we know about 'Splatoon 2'
Tech1 min read

Nintendo is bringing "Splatoon" to its wildly successful Nintendo Switch console.

Splatoon originally debuted as a Nintendo's Wii U game and while the Wii U console was a flop, it was a flop with a bunch of killer games. Stuff like "Super Mario Maker" and "Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze" were underappreciated gems, handicapped by the console they were exclusive to - the Wii U.

And then there's "Splatoon," an excellent new series first introduced on the Wii U back in 2015.

The first "Splatoon," from the Wii U.

"Splatoon 2" will arrive in less than two weeks - it's planned for launch on July 21 - but we already know a ton about the upcoming sequel.

"Splatoon 2" looks very similar to its predecessor, graphically speaking.
