Home > Splatoon Launches May 29 Featuring Ranked Mode and Battle Dojo With amiibo
Originally published on Nintendo Castle.
We've been aware of a single player and online 4-on-4 player battles ("Turf Wars") in Splatoon, but two more game modes were detailed in the Nintendo Direct earlier today. The Battle Dojo is Splatoon's local multiplayer experience that offers 1-on-1 battles where one player uses the gamepad and features slightly different win conditions. More experienced players of level 10 or above will also have access to Ranked Mode, which is a more competitive mode that pits you in 4-on-4 battles with similarly ranked players around the world. It was also announced that there will be three Splatoon amiibo that offer unique gameplay experiences.
