I thought a unique 5 vs 5 multiplayer shooter coming from Nintendo was a pretty unique mix of the Nintendo formula. I'd even say it's a bit of a risk, but Splatoon has really warm reception by many I thought. Hmmm.

IGN blames Nintendo for not making Splatoon a mascot-platformer
- Thread starter 69wpm

People don't understand that they design the game concept first and add characters later.

"hello?" "this is vagina"
Selective quoting by the OP. The article is talking more about how he wishes the paint traversal mechanic was used in a singleplayer game, which doesn't strike me as an absurd thing to wish for.
Yeah, and for this one, I believe it took them a while to settle with the squid-like characters.

I understand what he's trying to say and from a multi-platform gamer's point of view I also understand the competitive shooter fatigue, but why is it always Nintendo that gets these remarks? Why not do it on Evolve for example? People are always projecting their shitty desires on whatever Nintendo does. The guy can have all the opinions he wants, but I won't let him hide behind them. What they're doing (AGAIN) is setting a certain atmosphere around Nintendo which they generally never set with anything else.

A platforming adventure version of platoon would basically be this
and that would destroy any semblance of being original

Exactly. Splatoon doesn't have to remain a shooter ip, it can evolve into anything. But wishing for this particular game to be something it's not is beyond stupid. It happened to Zombi U, it happened to other games. You can't judge a game for something it's not.
First post has it.
I wish people would get over the platformer thing, the Wii U is being slowly suffocated in it's sleep by quality platformers.
Hmm Splatoon as a platformer? Nah.
I think Nintendo made the right choice to make it a vs team based 3rd person shooter. They needed to expand on what genres their new ips cover.

Not sure what I was expecting but the end made it worth it.

I like the idea of Nintendo adding their own unique whimsical/cartoony/"platformery" twist to genres that are generally more gritty, realistic, and grounded. It's something that I hope they will continue to do in the future.
I love platformers (it's one of the primary reason's why I care about Nintendo's software ecosystem), but I like Splatoon just the way it is and I'm excited to get my hands on it.
...It would be nice to get a new "AAA" 3D platformer IP from the big N though.

Perfect.

Here's a direct quote from the article
And the article title
I dont see why anyone will interpret that as just requesting Splatoon to have a proper single player campaign

Typical silly IGN trash. I can sympathize pushing for more 3D platform adventures, even if I'm not a huge fan of B&K. Using Splatoon for this is just horribly misguided since it's probably one of the few new Nintendo titles that is both an IP and features gameplay previously unseen in Nintendo games.

Nintendo didn't feed them with enough doritos.
Nintendo why are you making something different? Please keep making the same games!
...And this still manages to be the worst part of the article.

Didnt they already confirm SP?
"I wish Splatoon were a single-player, character-based platforming adventure akin to Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, and the original Jak & Daxter."
You know I wouldn't mind Splatoon IP to expand to that direction later but the way he suggests that should be the game that was made instead of Splatoon makes me sick.

Splatoon is fresh and exciting to me, I'm looking forward to playing it. Changing it into mascot-platformer #51 wouldn't do it any favors, screw anyone who thinks it should be.

I don't think those two quotes make a lot of sense when put together, but
1) I'm mad as hell at Nintendo (and Rare) that they just stopped making collectathon platformers after Mario Sunshine (Banjo-Tooie for Rare) since it's my favourite genre
2) I'd prefer a collectathon over Splatoon
3) I'd buy a Collectathon, but there is no way in hell I'll buy Splatoon (I hate shooters and I hate online)
Though I still think Splatoon is a nice and fresh idea and deserves to be made. It's just not something I'd pay any money for.
Reaching...?
I'll take what we have thanks. It's one of the most original things Nintendo have done for a while and it looks like a blast to play.
We reached that point a long time ago.

The LAST thing I want from Nintendo is another stinking platformer! I've been playing them since the NES, and quite honestly, have gotten bored with them, as they're cranking out way too many.
Very happy to see them go a different route with Splatoon, even if I don't see it being a big hit for them.

No it's not.
Have YOU read the article? lol
That guy is saying how there's enough competitive shooterse out there. Lol, this one is made by Nintendo for the Wii U, on which shooters in general are lacking. He names 7 FPS's and 6 of them are not on Nintendo platforms/Wii U.
He needs to do some research before writing an "article". He says he HOPES there will be a SP mode. Nintendo already confirmed there will be one. What a fail of an article. Blame him, not the people here disagreeing with him. That is stupid.
Can't wait to see how it could have been inspired by Dark Souls next! In all seriousness, I don't really get why they would make a statement like that. I thought it had been confirmed that there will be a single player mode with the game that could be what they want, just with new characters, but I might be misremembering things. For all the shit people give Nintendo for not having new ideas, this is pretty funny though.
I do like the idea of using those mechanics in some platforming levels though. Hopefully Nintendo just goes all out and does some crazy stuff, single player and multiplayer, with the game.
