- Available May 29 - Splatter enemies and claim your turf
as ink-spraying, squid-like Inklings in Nintendo's new mess fest!
Challenge players online in chaotic four-on-four turf wars, and
unleash squid powers to ink your way to victory. In these all-out
online turf wars, you'll need ink blasters, ink rollers, ink bombs
and squid power on your side! Every splat of ink you spray gives
you a chance to transform into a squid and hide, climb walls or
travel at super speed. Rank up in online battles to unlock new
weapons and fresh gear for your Inkling, complete with unique
game-play perks. Or earn your stripes in the single-player mode to
stop an evil octopus army that has kidnapped the electric catfish
used to power the city of Inkopolis! This underground adventure
has octopi to splatter, ink puzzles to solve and bosses to beat.
No time to blink - prepare to ink! Click here to

In addition to video games available at retail stores, Nintendo also

systems. Nintendo adds new games weekly to the Nintendo eShop on the Wii
U console and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, the Nintendo DSi™
Shop for the Nintendo DSi system and the Wii™ Shop Channel
for the Wii console.
The Nintendo eShop is a cash-based service that features a wide variety
of content, including new and classic games, applications and demos.
Users can add money to their account balances by using a credit card or
purchasing a Nintendo eShop Card at a retail store and entering the code
from the card. All funds from one card must be loaded in the Nintendo
eShop on either Wii U or the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, but can be
used in either Nintendo eShop if the systems are linked to a single
Nintendo Network account.
The Wii Shop Channel offers games and applications and uses Wii Points™,
which can be purchased via the Wii Shop Channel. The Nintendo DSi Shop
offers games and applications and uses Nintendo DSi Points™,
which can be purchased in the Nintendo DSi Shop.
Remember that Wii U, Wii, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo 2DS
and Nintendo DSi feature parental controls that let adults manage some
of the content their children can access. For more information about
this and other features, visit http://www.nintendo.com/wiiu
