I am creating this so that people can talk about Splatoon. Feel free to talk about your favorites, your least favorites, and any interesting discoveries you make. Please be detailed when saying why you like/dislike something, one or two sentences is fine.
To start this thread off my favorite Roller (subject to change) is the Carbon Roller Deco the speed allows me to use an ambush play style. The Seekers allow me to move even faster towards my target. It is weak against other Rollers though.
Once me and another Roller were bumping into each other head-on and neither of us would stop this lasted for maybe 10 seconds. Finally I jumped over their roller squishing them and flicked one of their teammates started rolling again and got splatted by the other two teammates. This was one of my favorite moments until the end. I do think it is an honour if they thought they needed their whole team to take me down.

Basically it's a game by Nintendo where players, that are squids, shoot eachother wit ink. You can change between human form and squid form with the press of a button and you pretty much swap forms a lot. In human form you can walk, jump, and shoot. In squid form you move very slowly on regular land but if you're a squid in your color of ink then you can move very fast and it looks like you dissappear into the ink. The main part of the game is the turf battles. 2 teams of 4(each team having a specific color) try to ink as much territory as they can. Your ink can cover the other team's ink and vice versa, you get points for inking territory and points determine your place at the end of the match as it fills your Special skill/weapon gauge. If you kill someone on the other team they explode, allowing you to spread your ink in a decent area. The respawn time is relatively short compared to other games but it makes it so the tides can turn at any time (haha get it, tide and squids). Everyone also has a sub weapon which are projectiles that can do various things at the cost of ink. I almost forgot, everyone has an ink meter and if you run out you can't shoot or use your sub weapon. You slowly restore ink but if you become a squid in your own ink you will regain ink very quickly. Specials can be used anytime when you're alive and when the gauge is full. They're usually are pretty powerful but it usually depends on how you use it. Also, every weapon has a different set of Specials and sub weapons while also being in a class. There are many weapon classes, such as Splattershot, Charger, Roller, Slosher, Splatlings, Brushes, Umbrellas, Blasters, Dualies, and some others I think. Each class has a different playing style and there are different versions of a class that each have little gimmicks and different stats. For example, there's the regular roller that can do regular roller stuff but the Carbon Roller can block ink when you slosh your ink towards the incoming ink. While it may seem op all weapons usually have a drawback, the Carbon Roller suffers from a long start up time before it can slosh ink.
For a normal match, 8 players in total
Splatoon mostly relies on motion control for shooting and joystick for movement. You can, of course, change it if you like. Both Splatoon games are exclusive to the Wii U and the Switch, both consoles are products of Nintendo. You also can't use a mouse to play, sadly. As long as you buy the console, you don't need to buy another controller unless you want it for a friend to play.
Edit: Forgot to mention that there are many modes to choose. Such as Ranked (which includes many different kinds of game modes instead of turf control), salmon run, singleplayer, and some other ones

Why was Shu happy?
Because Wakiya 4 glaive (forgave) him.
