* ManaMeter: There is a meter in the top-right corner of the screen that, when filled completely, lets you use a super weapon. The one in the demo was a bazooka that creates a twister of your team's ink, but several others were shown off in the trailer, including a giant paint roller and the aforementioned KillSat.

The game was the first of several new [=IPs=] that Nintendo introduced at E3 2014, and has already garnered a significant degree of acclaim. Some reporters argued that it was a more inventive and entertaining shooter than other games that were at the show - with some going so far as to say that the game could serve as the Wii U's KillerApp. Fanart also exploded around the internet shortly after the game came out, indicating that general audiences may agree with this sentiment.

'''''Splatoon''''' is an upcoming multiplayer-only ThirdPersonShooter, created by {{Creator/Nintendo}} for their WiiU system. Revealed at E3 2014, two teams, consisting of the "Good Guys" and the "Bad Guys", fight for control over maps, accomplished by spraying colored ink across the map, with the team with the most area of the map controlled winning.

Oh yeah, and all of the characters are "Inklings", [[ItMakesSenseInContext who can turn into squids and swim in their team's ink to get around the map quicker]].
