Splatoon 2 has Mexico to thank for its visual style, says series producer

Splatoon 2 is one of the most unique and vivid franchises that Nintendo has created. Ever wonder where the Big N took inspiration from? According to Splatoon producer Hisashi Nogami, the atmosphere of Mexico played a huge part.

Having Splatoon fans around the world is something we are very grateful for, especially in Mexico and Latin America. Something that is very interesting that they know is that the art director of Splatoon, Seita Inoue, grew up in Mexico and although he does not remember much, I think it’s fair to say that the experiences he had in Mexico ended up influencing Splatoon. I would love that knowing this, Latino fans who have not played Splatoon can explore and notice some of these influences.
