CCC Says: "Squids! Girls! No it’s not some weird Japanese anime. It’s Splatoon, Nintendo’s new take on a first person shooter. We got a chance to try this casual shooter at E3, and it’s a lot deeper than you might think."
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?
the author clearly hasnt seen the digital event. if so he would now that their are at least 3 different weapons in the trailer. the ink gun , a paintroller and a sniper rifle. the e3 demo shows only the bare mechanics of the game. when the game is finished we will see more weapons, maps and game modes
Im In to it...looks fun and different..
