In our new family game time blog our gamer guy talked about the virtual paintball game from Nintendo Canada, Splatoon, a fun video games for families. You can read his post covering the features that will appeal to families. If you’re looking for a new family game for your Nintendo Wii U gaming system, Splatoon may just be the ticket.
Now families can try Splatoon first hand during the Splatoon Canadian Summer Tour (June 20-September 7, 2015). Along with trying the game, going head-to-head with a friend, you can also enter a draw to win a Splatoon Prize Pack consisting of a packaged version of Splatoon, a Splatoon amiibo 3-pack, and a Splatoon-themed skin to customize your Wii U GamePad controller. Two lucky winners will be chosen each week during the tour.
