Splatoon for Wii U is one of the best new Nintendo games in years, and now PC gamers get to try it out, too … kind of.
YouTuber SethBling has a created a playable version of Nintendo’s riotous shooter for the popular block-building game Minecraft. It lets two teams of four (or more), armed with a variety of paint-splatting weapons, go head-to-head in a fight to paint the floor of an arena. Players can even turn into a squid to refill their ink and move faster, just like the real thing.

Nintendo only allows YouTube channels to share its content as part of a partner program, which splits advertising revenue between the content maker and Nintendo on a limited range of titles. It also recently shut down a fan-made project to create an HD version of Super Mario 64.
For now, though, you can download the Splatoon Minecraft world from SethBling’s website and get splatting.
