A new game called Splatoon was revealed during the Nintendo E3 conference. An 8 player multiplayer game, with two teams of 4. The objective is for a team to capture the most territory within the map. To do this, they must capture territory by shooting ink, and the team with the most ink on the map in the end wins. The gameplay mechanic that brings a different view is the ability to switch between a human and a squid. The kicker is that players can only shoot ink as a person. But as a squid, you move quickly within your color. However, you walk slower in the enemy team’s ink.
The Wii U Game pad provides an overhead view, and updates the map and ink in real time. With the ability to also teleport to your own teammates.
The developers described the ink as both offensive and defensive.

It is set for a 2015 release date.
