Splatoon – Camp Triggerfish map out now
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 12 Comments
Another new multiplayer map has made its way to Splatoon. The latest addition is Camp Triggerfish, which has now been added to the rotation.
As a reminder, here’s the official map overview:
When the Inklings aren’t busy making s’mores or boondoggle key chains, they enjoy the majestic scenery afforded by camping the best way they know how – Turf War! Battles here play out across a series of bridges, which you’ll have to cross to reach your opponents’ turf.
Each team base at Camp Triggerfish is outfitted with a set of floodgates. When the gates are down, it’s easier for the other team to come and go as they please. In Turf War, the gates lower with one minute left on the clock, leading the way for late-game assaults. In Ranked Battle, they stay down so players can come and go as they please. Watch out in Tower Control! The tower’s path is almost always over water and you’ll need to show off your best squid skills to avoid getting dunked.
Gameplay from the Camp Triggerfish map can be found below.

Metroid is really up to our game developers to decide how best to create new and different experiences. This Metroid experience [Federation Force] offers a local multiplayer feature that could be a lot of fun for game fans and we hope fans try it out and come to their own conclusions.
