Splatoon is getting new content this year and has recently passed one million units shipped in Europe. That means there's a lot of new players flocking to the game, and these individuals may well be wondering how they can improve their tactics and get on a level playing field with those who have mastered the title over the past year or so.
With that in mind, Nintendo of Europe has released a series of "top tip" videos, hosted by none other than co-director Tsubasa Sakaguchi. In this series, Sakaguchi goes over the basics of the game, offering bits of advice which should be invaluable for newcomers and may even prove helpful to Splatoon veterans.
You can check them out below.
We were fortunate enough to meet with Sakaguchi when he visited the UK last year, and during our meeting someone rather special turned up. Seems like only yesterday!

Apparently you'll be at a "disadvantage" if you try to take on a charger on a high platform with a roller. I think that's what in England is called an "understatement".
Love this guy!
This caption thoe😶🤔, newcomers pay attention because you guys are one of those reason when I think twice about playing.
Good advice, I just wish he mentioned the Recon function. I've met level 40 players who were unaware of how useful that is.
@Zebetite I use it whenever a new level appears, it's so nice just to potter around and get a feel for the place at your own pace.
Find myself wishing these clips began with Sakaguchi exclaiming, "Hello there lovely people!"
I've played so much Splatoon, but I'm only just starting to get the hang of tip one and have multiple main weapons.
All of this is no news to me but I think that tip #4 is actually quite important. It took me several months to successfully suppress the urge to go right at the enemy and to instead lure them from a safe position.
You can also use ink as a kind of alarm system (on all modes). When I'm in a safe position, I try to ink the ground in the vicinity so that I will notice it when an enemy approaches. Similarly, when I'm advancing into 'unknown' territory, I first throw a bomb (Burst Bombs are great for this) into enemy ink to see whether someones hiding in there. If I hear a hit from one of my Burst Bombs, I know where to shoot at.
