The latest from Game Data Library reinforces just how successful the new squids on the block have become, with the second game in the series, Splatoon 2, returning the top of the Japanese gaming charts, last week, after a 48-week absence.
It's likely linked to the recent release of the Octo Expansion, perhaps illustrating how effective DLC can be sales-wise when done right. If this doesn’t blow your mind, this is the longest time on record since a game has returned to the top spot since the original Pokémon titles did it back in 1997 - exactly 89 weeks after launch.
o matter what the reasoning is behind Splatoon 3’s lack of content and substance in the first half of its paid expansion, Wave 1: Inkopolis is certainly not worth any fan’s money and should have always been viewed as a small bonus to tide fans off from what’s still to come.
A new version 5.5.1 update has just gone live for Splatoon 2.
Splatoon 3 has revealed that special bonuses can be obtained in the game if you have save data on your Switch system for Splatoon 2.
well it's not like Splatoon 2 was far off from the top of the charts each and every week anyways. A testament to how much the Japanese love this game.
