Footage from Nintendo Direct confirms that legwear is a separate customization option in Splatoon 2
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 10 Comments
Ever since Splatoon 2 was first revealed, we’ve known that different kinds of legwear will be available in the game as an additional way of customizing your Inkling. What wasn’t known, however, was whether they would be tied to a specific shirt or shoes or whether you can freely choose which pants to wear. Footage from the latest Nintendo Direct now confirms that it’s the latter – the “Style” tab in the game’s options menu shows that the female Inkling can choose between standard pants, a skirt and spat.
This also confirms that are a total of four hairstyles to choose from for each gender.
