These do very little to add to the Splatoon experience. The are, however, easily the best looking amiibo Nintendo has yet to put out. The characters are perfectly realized, with colors that pop and details that beg for display. I love them, but if you want function, you won't find it short of unlockable concerts. #teammarie

...with modern sensibilities and a very clear response to the modern cultural climate. While feeling a little heavy handed at times, it's a far cry from the original vision of the film, but absolutely for the better. The characters are likeable, the world painted is beautifully realised, and the humor is genuine and funny. The only downside would be the soundtrack, which is hit and miss, imo.

...more of a spiritual successor. Or even a re-imagining of the world portrayed. A HUGE world to explore, a deep combat system clearly influenced by MMOs, and gorgeous visuals, I'd recommend this title for anyone who likes large, sprawling JRPGs but is looking for something a little different.

...but more forgiving than Dark Souls, with arguably a more approachable system and aesthetic. You will die (A LOT), and that's ok. If you keep at it, you will get better and eventually get good. Then you will die some more. haha.
A great title with a legitimate challenge. At $14.99 (the time of writing this review) it's well worth it to discover if this sort of game is "your thing".

Before I get started, this will not replace a Roku, Amazon Stick, or any other full featured streaming device. Nor is it meant to. It will, however, provide a surprising amount of function and utility if you use it as a complementary device. I plugged it into my surround sound system via HDMI, and from here I can: stream music from my phone (effectively turning my system into a wireless speaker system better than any bluetooth speaker), stream content from my laptop and chrome book (replacing the need for a HDMI cable and adaptpr), view pictures and video from my phone or tablet (both from my private library and any number of streaming services).
Again, this won't replace say a Roku. Lack of a dedicated remote control and native apps, as well as the required "casting device" keep it out of the realm of "similar" devices. However, it's hard to argue with the cost ($35 - I picked mine up for $30) and the value it provides. Just know what you're getting in to!

...and thats a good thing! This title takes everything that made the series great and continues to build on it! With writing and visuals reaching near cinematic levels, this is a fantastic action platformer.
You take the lead as your team approaches a clean new area, free of color and chaos. With a smirk, you take it all in ~ you'll soon change that. Two teammates begin spraying down walls, floors, ceilings and every other imaginable surface with ink, claiming this territory as your own with a vivid wash of your colors. You and another fighter scan the area for enemies. The opposition never sees you as you sneak up and douse them in an ink bath they'll never forget. This turf is all yours ~ it's time to move on and paint the whole world in your team's colors.Get messy with Splatoon, a fun-filled third-person action shooter that challenges you to cover levels, and enemies, with a brilliant spray of colorful ink.

A fantastic alternative in both style and approach to modern online FPS titles. With a focus on covering territory as opposed to killing your opponents, it provides gameplay goals that are different enough to warrant a look, while the style and attitude is keep you coming back match after match. At only 3 minutes a round, it can be played in short bursts, whether its a couple quickies before work or a Friday night marathon.
With new maps and weapons constantly being added (and available for free) there is much incentive to get your ink on.

Is this TV back lit or edge lit ?
Top and bottom edge lit. For me, this hasn't been a problem and color uniformity has been great.
