　　Earlier this week, Nintendo revealed that Splatoon, the company's new multiplayer third-person shooter, will have a single-player mode, focusing on "nature's epic battle" between squid and octopus.

　　In August, Nintendo's iconic game designer and senior managing director Shigeru Miyamoto said that Splatoon could have been another Mario game, but that ultimately Nintendo wanted to create a new IP. However, you can see more of that Mario DNA in the single-player trailer than the multiplayer, arena gameplay we've seen until now, where two teams of four players armed with paint guns have to try to cover the level with as much of their team's color.

　　Instead of just letting you take on bots, the single-player mode seems to have a variety of enemy types and elaborate platforming sections that take advantage of the game's painting mechanic, which allows you to swim up walls or under obstacles painted with your team's color.

　　Splatoon is set to release on Wii U in 2015.

　　Are you more excited for Splatoon after watching the single-player trailer? Let us know in the comments below.
