Splatoon arrived at E3 with the challenge of being a new IP that needed to grab some attention, but it seems that Nintendo's colourful online shooter has done just that. It's a title that seems to be typical Nintendo — take some established ideas, play around with concepts and add a dash of chaos and creativity to the final results.
Despite the fact that all we've seen of the game is footage and the demo from the LA show, fans with some artistic skill are already using their illustrative skills to show their support for the title. Nintendo requested some illustrations from gamers on Miiverse, and has now constructed an utterly charming collage of its favourite submissions. Check it out below (click to enlarge).
It seems that this is certainly one to watch. Let us know if you like the compilation of drawings above, while you can also check out our hands on impressions of Splatoon to learn a little more about how the title works.

Um... Inkcredible?
Sorry, that's all I got...
Bwaha! I spy a Zoidberg in there.
Splatoon guest starring Dr Zoidberg. We need Zoidberg DLC! It is nice seeing people take to a new IP. I hope Splatoon does well, but we'll see when it comes out.
Every time I read a Tom article it makes me want a McDonalds
You can tell the image is splatter-proof.
I'm not a major fan of online play but I'm hugely interested in this title. I really hope Nintendo adds a Mario Kart level of replayabilty on it and that co-op works smoothly offline too!
The excitement is inkreasing...
@Hero-of-WiiU You are ink-orrect!
Splatoon, the new experience from Nickelod....eerrrr Nintendo.
The E3 was practically painted with hype for this!
SPLATOOOOOOOON!!! (that's going to be my new battle cry from now on)
@Silent I could see Nintendo teaming up with Nickelodeon at some point to advertise this game. lol
Its an inkvasion, where is squid girl (from the anime) to lead the charge.
Great game.
@Silent Yeah, I honestly thought I was seeing a Nickelodeon game, even the characters resemble Nick.
@Silent lol. That orange was deceiving. Squid girl sorta' looks likes Helga from Hey Arnold, only with mascara overdose.
This is cool, though I haven't seen any Splatoon drawings on MiiVerse. ( O .o)
This is great.
I hope people show their support for Codename: S.T.E.A.M too.
@Hero-of-WiiU
Well, rearrange Nick and you get Inck. Sounds about right to me.
So so so so so so hyped for this game!!!
Best part of E3. They're just showing their love!
Splatoon is love; Splatoon is life.
Splatoon! The definitive Nintendo competitive multiplayer experience. Goldeneye fans, rejoice! We have a new game to master...
I'm kinda inked for this game!
Zoidberg DLC confirmed.
@JaxonH Goldeneye.... I was just hit by the most intense wave of nostalgia imagineable ... remote mines everywhere, all over the place, painted on the walls and floors like INK
Going to be a great e-shop game.
@TheHumbleFellow 4/5
Nintendo announced a first party online shooter with their own vision of fun and ideas: it's an ink between worlds.
I have an inkling of an idea as to how popular this is on Miiverse now
@Savino That has been bothering me too. I was actually surprised when I saw they will sell physical copies for $60 dollars. It looks really fun but I am not paying that much for the Nintendo Titanfall.
