Nintendo Shows Off Splatoon's Multiplayer Hub And Character Customization
The unique paint-based shooter Splatoon was featured during this morning's Nintendo Direct conference. Nintendo talked about the hub that links the 4-on-4 multiplayer and single player modes. When you launch the game, you land in a plaza where you can communicate with other players.
You can also enter a shopping center run by a militaristic crab. The center holds a variety of stores that allow you to customize your characters. Purchased equipment can be switched at any time in the plaza. This includes weapons: You can carry three at a time. Your main, a sub/diversionary weapon, and a special weapon.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
