Splatoon 2 for the Nintendo Switch in many ways looks and plays a lot like the Wii U original. And in case you were wondering, that's not a bad thing. Mainly because Splatoon represents Nintendo's take on the whole competitive shooter scene, and it's as accessible and fun as anything put out by the Big N since the days of the 16-bits. And in preparation for the sequel Nintendo will be holding an Open Beta of sorts for Splatoon 2 on the Nintendo Switch from March 25-26.
