- "Splatoon?"
- "Splatoon!"
I've never played this game, but I've heard a lot about it.
- I don't know anything about it
aside from there's a lot of goo splatter.
- I actually have this game on Wii U,
and I actually beat the whole game, 100%.
- (Finebros) Splatoon is a third person shooter game
where squid/human hybrids, called "Inklings"
use weapons to shoot colored ink.
- (playfully) That makes a lot of sense.
(laughing)
- It sounds kind of dumb, but I'm probably gonna enjoy myself
'cause I like dumb things.
- (Finebros) Today, you'll be playing an online, multi-player mode
called "Turf Wars", where the team who can cover
the mat most with their colored ink wins.
- I'm playing with strangers?
Oh. Oh, shit.
- Let's go! Okay, I'm excited.
- "Turf war."
- "Ink the most turf to win!"
- It's Yellow versus Pink, and we are... Yellow if I'm correct.
Yes, I am.
- All right, so we're Blue.
- I'm Orange.
- I'm Green. All right, cool.
(guns splatter ink)
All right, let's do this.
- You're going down, Pink mother[bleep]ers.
- You can also tell on the little mini-map on the gamepad.
You can also tell where they're at from the paint.
- I'm in the clear zone for now.
Low ink? Oh. Squid. Squid time.
- I'm adding more ink, or paint, or whatever this is supposed to be.
- I just wanna be quick and get my mark out there fast.
- I'm supposed to just paint everything, right?
I don't know why I don't see-- oh, see, like there.
Uh-oh. Uh-oh. - (Inkling yelps)
- Ooh, and I died. Okay. Splat Bomb.
- Ooh, what happens if I go in the blue ink and I--
Oh! Oh no!
Oh no! Don't do that. Don't go in the blue ink.
- No, no, no. What's happening?
Why is this screen closing on me?
Okay, shoot! (ink splatters rapidly)
- Uh... no.
Die. Uh, camera mode thingie.
(whimpering)
- No, get outta here, Pink! No one likes you.
- (ink splatters) - (Inkling yelps)
- Ah, what?!
Some dude just kicked my ass real bad.
- I like the concept. I think it's really unique.
Like, the focus isn't really on killing other people.
It's more about spreading your ink.
- Die! Die! Die!
(deep gasp) I killed him! YES!
- I'm gonna go for him. (ink splatters)
(Inkling yelps) - Got him.
(ink splatters)
(Inkling squeaks) - Okay, that's another kill. Boom!
(Inkling yelps)
- Man, I gotta focus on shooting people.
I'm too much focused on the terrain.
- Orange! More orange.
- (whinging) This is so hard to control.
What am I even doing?
(Inkling yelps)
(Inkling blubbers) - Oh. I died again.
(Inkling titters)
- No, get outta here, Pink!
- (Finebros) You can now click the right stick to use your Bubbler.
- I have a Bubbler? What is this? A shield?
Yeah! Ha! Try to get me now, bitch.
- One minute left?! We didn't even start yet.
Jeez. (Inkling yelps)
These games are quick.
- Okay, one minute left.
I'm gonna go on the other side and actually try
to regain it 'cause that's where they have the most paint.
- We're getting our asses kicked.
Oh my god. It's so bad.
- I should recover this uncharted territory.
(ink splatters rapidly)
- I think I'm doing some pretty good covering of that blue.
- Boom! I do a bomb right there.
Just gonna hopefully cover some ground.
- Let's bounce.
No! There's only ten-- no!
We're gonna lose.
- Oh, nine seconds, nine seconds.
We can win.
- We're getting destroyed.
Like, we're not-- we're for sure-- yeah, we're not gonna win this.
Aw, man, this sucks. - (Inkling yelps)
- Ooh, ooh.
I'm- mmm. (whistle blows)
- No! Aaaah. (whistle blows)
(tsks)
I died so much.
That got really-- it looks really even too.
(tallying points)
♪ (victory music) ♪ - WOO! YAY! We won!
(tallying point) ♪ (defeat music) ♪
(deep sigh)
- We lost by, like, a point something.
- I know it's my first time, but that was still pretty bad.
70% to 21%.
(tallying points)
- (disappointed) That's great. ♪ (defeat music) ♪
Yep.
- Ugh. Yeah, I feel this guy just pounding on the table.
I got first place on my team, so I did something right, obviously.
- That's such a sad face the characters make.
- Oh god! Should I go again?
- Yeah. ♪ (chime) ♪
This is actually kind of fun.
- Are we Pink? Yes! (ink bubbles)
All right, I have a good feeling about this.
- Ooh, Blue! Yay. I like this.
I might do better 'cause it's my favorite color.
- The Pink team. Yay.
Maybe this is my winning color.
- Oh, we're Green again.
(ink splatters) All right.
(ink splatters rapidly)
- Looks like we've got a paint roller on our team.
(Inkling yelps) - Good. That's one kill.
I'm gonna stay back a little bit and make sure we get some stuff.
- Get our own side...
(ink splatters rapidly) ... with paint,
and then making my way over.
- Oh! Tornado, all right.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
(Inkling yelps) (groans)
- Oh my god. There's a person right there.
Oh my god. Oh my god. I'm so bad.
(Inkling yelps)
- Oh, I just fell in the water. Can I not be in water?
Apparently, we can't swim, but we're squids?
That's weird.
(ink splatters rapidly) - No! Get outta here.
(Inkling yelps) Bitch.
Oh, never mind. I died.
It's all right. It's all right.
I'm liking this game more and more.
- (Inkling yelps) - Shoot. Shoot. Shoot. Shoot.
- (Inkling yelps) - Okay. Okay, we got him.
(ink splatters rapidly) Let's go, T-Lynn.
- All my teammates are actually doing stuff,
and I'm just painting the walls casually.
- It's not as simple as it seems.
You gotta get some strategy to it,
and I love strategy games.
- Oh my god. We are getting creamed part two.
What the heck?!
- Slide.
I'm getting the hang of the controls though.
It's getting a little easier, but I'm still losing.
Oh! I'm gonna kill you.
(ink splatters rapidly) (Inkling yelps)
(gasps) I was so close! Did you see that?
I was almost gonna kill them.
- Let's get our mark out here. Uph, bup, bup, bup, bup!
Yeah! Ha-ha-ha! Eat this.
I'm not even hitting him.
- (Inkling yelps) - There we go.
Oh, you're hiding, huh? You wanna hide?
(Inkling yelps) Come here. Come here.
Come here. Come here.
Oh, I got him. I still got him.
- I think we're doing good right now.
We just need to keep it up.
I think we're half and half.
- It's so hard. Oh my god.
I'm getting really into this.
- Okay, one minute left.
We are actually doing really good right now.
- Oh, we're doing way better than before.
I told you-- I had a better feeling wi--
NO! Go away. Go away, all of you.
Oh. - (Inkling yelps)
- Can I just hide here?
(Inkling yelps) - YES!
(ink splatters rapidly)
(giggling) It worked.
- Ugh, this is so hard.
Oh my god. Oh my god.
No, no, no, no, no!
(shrieks anxiously)
Oh my god! Oh god. Oh my GOD!!!
(anxious laughter)
Ah, I almost died.
- Hey, come over here, buddy.
(ink splatters rapidly)
- Surprise, bitch! Never mind.
I got triple-teamed.
(chuckles) I thought there was one.
- I got seven seconds left. All right.
- (inhaling sharply)
- (Inkling yelps) - Man, we're getting screwed.
Ah, we didn't win.
- Neh, neh, neh, neh, neh, neh, neh.
(defiantly) We will reclaim as much as we can in five seconds!
- (whistle blows) - Oh well.
Okay, I know-- I think we won.
- (sighs) That was so intense. Whoa.
Look how bad we did!
- I had a feeling with Pink.
I think we won.

♪ (victory music) ♪ - YES!
I did nothing, but we still won.
- I think it's close, but I think we still lo--
♪ (victory music) ♪
(gasps) We won by .5%!
Okay, that's pretty cool. I'll take it.
- I originally thought it would be stupid,
not really fun at all or anything,
but it was actually really fun.
- The concept was kinda dumb.
No offense to the people who made the game, but come on.
You can come up with something better.
- If I have to go to work or something, and I got ten minutes,
I can play a couple games.
I like that it's a quick game.
- I'm gonna play it when I get back home
'cause I actually did good.
- Thanks for watching this episode of Gaming on the React channel.

you are gonna hit that like button.

- Bye!
