The Tyuno Project: "One of my most anticipated games of 2015 is finally out on the Wii U and that games is Splatoon. When I first heard about this new game from Nintendo at last year’s E3, it caught my interest. I’ve been hyping over this game because it’s be a while since Nintendo created a new IP for their console. Now that Splatoon have been out for a couple of weeks and I gotten a chance to play, does it live up to the hype?"
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?
