- Thread starter Gonzo The Great
- Start date
how was it?
5 years ago, the Wii's decline had already started.
7 years ago would be the height of the Wii craze.
This red hair from the 90s needs to comeback
In fact the 90s were a great time for hair. The Rachel, the Leon S. Kennedy...

That's some lovely boxart for Splatoon, hope that's final.

It's a new IP from EAD. It's a full outing.
I'm not sure if a 1.5' banner tucked away in the Wii U section of GameStop counts as "trying"
Full-priced

Between this and the rumored amiibo support, it's more than they did for The Wonderful 101, which was literally sent to die. I mean, there's not much else they can do. If it bombs, they can (and should) blame the platform.
It's been confirmed there is no voice chat, at least with randoms. Nothing has been said about friends I think. Though I wouldn't get your hopes up about it.
Well, the reason for them doing poorly certainly isn't because people think or say "this game is gonna bomb".
I'd wait for the Squid Amiibo bundle to be officially revealed & put up for pre-order before you put down money for the game.
My thoughts exactly. It's a great slogan, and I'm very glad to see Nintendo backing this game -- I think this campaign could really extend to the Wii U in general, really highlight the contrast between this box and the other two. I'm reminded of a brilliant moment in Previously Recorded's E3 2014 video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whf-Q78qokU&t=14m28s
That was pretty much the thing that squashed my last attempt at preordering. :lol

I saw this earlier when I went to preorder Code Name: STEAM. Good on them, the game deserves anything it can get.

You know, for being two months away, I feel like we know very little about this game, even though its being pushed by nintendo.
Not complaining, just means we are due for a direct

It has voice chat among friends in the lobby, but not during races. I haven't used it and don't even know how to lol.
EDIT: Apparently it only works in private lobbies.
I was frankly shocked when I realized it's been almost two months since the last Nintendo Direct.

Will this extend to Canada and be changed to 'Add colour to your world'?

So is this really their new IP for this generation? I think I'll support it more if so. What was the new IP of the Wii, Xenoblade?

Wii Sports.
Their first big one, yes. There can be others, mind you. Biggest one during Wii was obviously Wii Sports. The one with bigger budget was Xenoblade, yeah.
What do you mean? Nintendo creates several new IPs per generation. Last gen had Nintendogs, Brain Age, Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Tomodachi Collection, and a bunch of smaller scale stuff.

That's automatically more than I thought would happen, so let's hope they push it to the moon.

I'm so glad they're pushing Splatoon, is looks amazing and I would love to see it do well. Everyone who always complains about Nintendo not putting out new IPs needs to buy it or gtfo.
Assuming this Splatoon eShop page was not outdated or incomplete, then it is safe to say there is no voice chat at all. And it doesn't mention anything about Pro Controllers, so local multi isn't confirmed 100%.

No local multiplayer? Crap.
The Wonderful 101 was never going to sell. Nobody walked away from demos will huge smiles of excitement. T101 is a great game, but it's pretty hardcore and isn't easily classified.
Splatoon has pick-up-and-play appeal, multiplayer heavy, and falls in the shooter genre which is very popular. I understand why Nintendo is supporting it, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it do relatively well for WiiU's install base.
