As for games with friends? Well... that's still a mystery.
New details have emerged regarding Nintendo's upcoming squid-centric shooter, Splatoon.
Sadly, it looks like the game won't support voice chat for those looking to engage in random matches over the internet. Whether or not you'll be able to communicate with friends remains to be seen, but we've reached out to Nintendo for clarification. In addition to online, the studio is also working on a local multiplayer option as well as a 3D platforming game type, dubbed Hero Mode.
With regard to online matchmaking, players around the world will be grouped together based on skill level. Additionally, there won't be any CPU players thrown into the mix, as the game only supports human-controlled 4 vs. 4 matches.
Finally, Splatoon will feature music from Tooru Minegishi, whose work has been featured in a number of Zelda, Mario, and Animal Crossing games.
