What’s new?
Kit yourself out with mechanical gadgets, arm yourself with a host of different weapons, and splat waves of foes in Splatoon Raiders, a new single-player-focused action-shooter spinoff of the Splatoon series, launching exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2.
Splatoon Raiders places you in the role of a mechanic working with members of the swashbuckling musical trio Deep Cut. Together, you’ll raid the Spirhalite Islands for undiscovered spoils and fend off hordes of malicious Salmonids standing between you and your treasure.
In Splatoon Raiders, you don’t have to raid alone. Join up to three other players online*1 or via local wireless*2 to conquer raids and gather riches as you progress through the game together. Even when playing solo, you can call for help from other players online or offer help and receive rewards.

The correct answer is… Super Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64.
