Sneak peak at the new awesome weaponry

To get involved in the “squid-licious” action, all you need is your Nintendo Account login details. Head to the Nintendo eShop and download the free demo or go to the Splatoon 2 game page, log in, and download from there.

The demo weekend will let players experience the new game and get a feel for what’s to come when the game hits general release later in the Summer.

One of the main features players will get to see will be the new and revamped weapons. These include the new Splat Dualies, and revamp versions of old favorites, the Splat Roller, Splattershot and Splat Charger. The matches will also alternate between two arenas, The Reef and Musselforge Fitness.
