For Splatoon on the Wii U, you'll definitely need a Nintendo Network ID to dive into those ink-splattered battles! But for the Nintendo Switch versions, it's not necessary unless you want to play online with squid friends.

Yes, if you're playing on the Wii U, you do need it for online play. Not a big deal though!

In short, only if you're on Wii U. Switch players, you're in the clear unless you're diving online!
