Going off all the trailers and mode reveals we’ve seen so far, it looks like it’s going to truly surpass Splatoon 2 in a lot of ways.
Speaking of which, longtime fans of Nintendo’s paint shooter series were a bit confused in the last couple days when an update was pushed live for the Splatoon 2 limited time demo. Why would Nintendo update this? Why have people still got it installed? Nobody knows, but there didn’t seem to be any meaningful changes outside of the version number.
Oh, but Nintendo are making the single player Octo Expansion for Splatoon 2 free as part of Nintendo Switch Online – Expansion Pack.
Let’s look back at our Splatoon 2 review, where I wrote:
“A fairly straightforward sequel to one of the Wii U’s best games, Splatoon 2’s unique take on the online multiplayer shooter is as fresh as ever on Switch. Nintendo still have one foot in the past with online functionality, stubbornly sticking to their (paint) guns when they should be learning from others, but these flaws are easily covered up once you get into a game. At its heart, Splatoon 2 is a second helping of one of the most inventive shooters of the last decade.”
