Splatoon 2
Released 2017
Splatoon 2 is a multiplayer third-person shooter in which players control characters known as Inklings and use colored ink to attack opponents and clear goals. Inklings can alternate between humanoid form, during which they can fire ink with their weapons, and squid form, which allows them to swim through ink of their own color in order to move quickly and replenish ink supplies.
Splatoon 2 amiibo unlocks on Switch. The game accepts 23 compatible amiibos (23 figures), each tied to a specific in-game reward when scanned on the system's NFC reader.
Compatible amiibos in Splatoon 2 come from 2 lineups. The biggest contributors are Splatoon (22) and Super Smash Bros (1).
