Plenty of footage has been uploaded online showing Splatoon’s new Rainmaker mode.
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 capture the flag where the flag is actually a weapon almost. If the rainmaker wasn't in the middle and you had to go to the base it would be close to capture the flag. What is cool is it forces you to play rather than camp. Which is why some people can not adjust. Splatoon is about not being a dinosaur.
