Splatoon is shaping up to be an excellent Wii U game, and one that Nintendo should really start promoting more. It seems that Nintendo agrees, because it has announced that it will be making Splatoon playable at Apex. Because of this, rumours have kicked off that the Splatoon Inklings will be coming to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U as downloadable content.
Nintendo has recently restored Wii U Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon online after five months of being offline.
Game Rant Writes "Mar10 Day is a fun yearly celebration of the Super Mario series, and Splatoon may warrant a fan-designated day of celebration in its own right."
How, exactly, did Splatoon reach heights rivalled only by Pokémon in Japan? New IPs from the House of Mario appear as often as shiny Pocket Monsters, yet typically move comparatively mediocre numbers or fall into relative obscurity behind the premium marques of Mario, Animal Crossing, Zelda, and Pokémon. Take Pikmin and ARMS, for example, which we adore but struggle to compete with the tentpole franchises when it comes to sales numbers or mainstream mindshare.
So, again, how has Splatoon risen to become one of Nintendo's most important series in Japan?
Don't do it. My head would explode from the awesomeness.
Didn't Sakurai say something about not wanting to do anymore paid DLC after Mewtwo?
I think he did.
So if this happens at all, it'll be as free characters.
But given all the time he's spent on it, and the fact that they've still gotta get the stage sharing feature and the Miiverse stage up and running before they're done, I somehow harbor doubts that he'll be doing any other characters any time soon...
