Hardcore Gamer: Faithful Splatoon fans rejoice as there is something new for Inklings to enjoy. The game is adding a series of short tournaments to partake in during the weekends. It was announced today, the Splatoon Showdown Series will take place every week in November.
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?
Good luck. The servers only being in Japan and their internet speeds give the Japanese WAY too huge of an advantage.They'll pop up, shoot you, and be gone before even registering on your screen if you're in Europe or NA.
I came whe I heard this. They should make tournaments as they did with Smash 4 : (
