Nintendo's upcoming multiplayer title Splatoon was on show at PAX this year. It still looks fun, but seems to lack a little something.
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?
Yikes! I hope it's better than he made it sound! It's the first game I'm looking forward to this year.
With all the wetness and squirting, this game gives off an awfully moist vibe.
There's a way they could easily solve the "extra point" issue that the person talked about in this article; just have the starting area covered in your team's ink by default, saving you the trouble of having to do that and allowing you to get right to the middle of the arena.
Also, in a way, this could be looked at as a new form of the classic "Domination" match type that CoD players are familiar with, the difference being that instead of just three areas on a map, it's the entire map itself that you've gotta claim.
When they were showing the game at E3 there was usually 1 teammate that stayed behind to cover the base while the others covered the hallways towards the main part of the map. This would make it so that everything from the start was covered and everyone got to get going right away.
After the guy who stays behind paints base then they head out and join the others.
Problem solved!
