Nick Gillham: "Often a review is constrained by word limits, so there’s only so much information that you can include. This is a collection of my thoughts in detail as to Splatoon’s problems and what could be done to fix them."

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?
I'd like to see bots used in the local multiplayer. The single player campaign bot's AI is quite good and would make a welcome addition to local multiplayer.
Too many issues, just leave them to the sequel.
But... But... I thought this was the best game ever created. People are never happy.
...and yet the game is still a lot of fun. Hopefully the August update will address a lot of this.
Honestly the only problem is lack of voice chat.
I like everything else about the game and so do my friends.
Now more maps, gametypes, and weapons plox.
