The Switch, unlike any Nintendo console before it, is able to keep games running in the background, even when the system is “turned off” in sleep mode. Once you have the game loaded though, there are ways to minimize how often this cutscene pops up. If this isn’t an option then you’re out of luck and will have to watch the Splatoon 2 intro once more. Unfortunately, Home Mode is only available while using the Switch as a handheld, so you’ll have to take it out of the dock to make this work. Starting up the game will get you to the action a whole lot faster this way. Hold the Home button to access the quick menu, then turn on Airplane Mode to disable wireless. Here’s a quick tip for how to skip the intro cutscene in Splatoon 2.Īirplane mode is the key, as the game can’t play the intro if there is no update to the maps in rotation. The kicker though is that there’s no way to skip it, at least not a Nintendo sanctioned way. The intro cutscene, in which Pearl and Marina walk you through the six maps currently featured in the online multiplayer, is a bit long and annoying.
The sequel offers some big improvements over the first game too, though one small detail was missed that is currently causing a lot of headaches for players.
Splatoon 2, like its Wii U predecessor, is a fantastic game full of colorful characters and an imaginative world.
