Joining the Splatoon 2 community by George Williams (CyberGW)

“I loved the original Splatoon on Wii U, so naturally the sequel was an instant buy. The pure mechanics of the game are so intuitive, fun and unique, meaning I just never seem to get bored of it, especially with the constant supply of updates.

Since then, I have managed to join my first ever competitive team, the Squinklings, and compete at ESL opens and eSportsHub leagues. I’m now also competing for my home town Manchester in the Nintendo Players UK Squid League. I’ve had so much fun in all these competitions and got to meet so many great people through it, it’s really been a blast.

Competing in my hobbies is something I’ve always wanted to do more of, and I’m so pleased the Nintendo Switch has opened up these opportunities for me! I can’t wait to see what other tournaments are coming up in the future.”

An unexpected Splatoon 2 co-worker by Sunil Bhatoy

“I have heavily enjoyed my Nintendo Switch, it’s easily one of the best gaming systems I have ever owned. One particular title has had me hooked, and its name is Splatoon 2.

I am a University student and during a break between my lectures I decided to bring out my Nintendo Switch and enjoy the intense action of Splatoon 2’s single player campaign mode. There I am, splatting foes and finding secrets when out of the blue I hear a voice. Someone else has spotted me playing my Switch and came over to find out what I am so engaged with. I delightfully show him my screen and their face lights up with joy. To my surprise, this new friend then pulls out a Nintendo Switch of their own! He himself was a big fan of Splatoon 2 and so the two of us begin an adventure playing Salmon Run. We play on the hardest difficulty we can and attempt to survive the onslaught of creatures. We played using all the skill we could muster but alas, we never could beat the final wave. Even in loss, we laughed and enjoyed our game. We have since vowed to improve so that one day, we can return to claim victory for ourselves!”
