It's pretty much Super Mario Sunshine X Team Fortress + De Blob
The first new Nintendo franchise in a decade and a half, its been that long and finally the big N is doing a multiplayer shooter..
It's pretty, fun and competitive, while being completely different to other shooters, with missions and single player adventures that feel like the Super Mario Sunshine puzzle edition.. there's a lot to like in Splatoon, and you should try it out!
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?
It's not the first new one in a decade and a half.
Code Name Steam, Pushmo, and others have also come out since then...
Seriously, everyone complains about Nintendo not doing new games, yet many of the new games they do, aren't even given recognition, let alone fair credit...
