Splatoon, one of Nintendo's most anticipated titles of the year is here, and is available exclusively on the Wii U. Challenge friends and family in this "inkcredible" colourful third-person action shooter, where you play as Inklings, unique creatures who can transform between humanoid and squid form. Using a special ink gun, your goal is to spray your goopy ink on as many places as possible, and claim your turf.
This is a game like nothing you have ever seen from Nintendo. Let’s dive in and take a look at this highly anticipated third-person action shooter, shall we?
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?
Holly cow! This game is even awesomer than I thought before. I am calling in sick Friday! It will be a Splatoon long weekend for me. Now if i can just get a hold of the Splatoon amiibo.
@kong_gamer Splatoon is one of, if not my favourite games of all time. It looks like Nintendo is giving this a serious marketing push. I hope it sells well, it deserves it.
