How to test Splatoon 2 for Nintendo Switch

Squid-based ink-shooting action hits the Nintendo Switch this weekend as part of an early test, and you can participate if you own the new console.

Nintendo is planning to run a series of hour-long online multiplayer test sessions for its upcoming Switch game Splatoon 2, the sequel to one of the best games for the Wii U. Beginning March 24 and running through March 26, the publisher will turn on the servers for Splatoon 2 as part of its Global Testfire event. This will enable you to get a taste of the action for the competitive ink shooter where the goal is cover as much of the terrain in your team’s color as possible. But this will also help Nintendo understand the demand Splatoon 2 matches will have on its servers.
