Reason
The big hit game "Splatoon" arrives on Nintendo Switch
The simple and clear rules and graphics colored with a unique pop world view are unchanged but the game can now be taken outside to play with friends face-to-face.
Up to four people can cooperate to defeat the Boss Salmonids, take part in the Salmon Run to collect Power Eggs, and add new gears and weapons in the update. With the white-hot battles, many fans from children to seniors made comments such as, "I'm hooked!" and "It's so much fun!" leading to the game being given the award.
Work Introdution
Splatoon is an action shooter with clear rules where players compete 4 against 4 to shoot ink, and where the team with the most inked areas is victorious (Turf War). Teams aim for victory while freely switching between human and squid form.
This game for the Nintendo Switch allows players to bring the console outside and play together with friends face-to-face not only over the internet.
From June 2018, new content where an octopus is the main character in a one-player mode called "Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion" has been made available.
Players can enjoy a mission with more than 80 fun games and a story that closely points to the core of the characters that have not been revealed so far.
Comment of the game producer
We are honored to have received such recognition at this time.
A year has passed since the release of Splatoon 2, but many players are still enjoying it. At the current 4th Splatoon Tournament many players from various age groups from small children to moms and dads are taking part, and we get so excited to see them seriously tackling the game. We wish to express our gratitude to the players for their support and for giving us this award.
The additional content Octo Expansion, which was released in June, has also been well received, and we feel that with this content players can not only enjoy the game but also deepen their attachment to the world and characters of Splatoon 2.
We would like to do our best as development staff to extend the updates that we have continued for a year since the release until December of this year so that everyone can keep enjoying the game for a long time.
We hope that you will continue to support us.
