We've gotten a bit detailed information on Nintendo's upcoming online shoot'em up, Splatoon. You play as Inklings, who love nothing more but to go around shooting up the place with colorful jets of ink.

When playing online you can visit the plaza where different stores are available to assist you with your customizations. There are weapons, head gear and different clothing that could sway your outcome in battle. Or, if you prefer, just make yourself look good.

Three different kinds of weapons are part of your arsenal. Your main will be of primary use. A sub weapon is handy when it comes to blocking an opponents path or setting up traps. And then there are specials which completely turn the fight around.

Splatoon will be out in stores and the Nintendo eShop this May. The video below is in Japanese but you get the gist of it.
