Then that shouldn't be a con either.

You could start a huge argument about whether or not the amount of content in a game should be considered in a review, but the fact of the matter is that reviewers cannot count future content they have not experienced as a pro.

Price and content should be considered. I can see this being reviewed like KI did...

I can accept that. It's just really hard to list "only 5 maps" as a con knowing that maps will be released almost every week for a couple of months.

I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

Agreed for all they know the content coming could be terrible. Nintendo hurt their own reviews imo

Not concerned in the least. If it was just Turf Wars then I'd be disappointed, but there are other modes and the like coming. I'm looking forward to ranked matches myself.

the special edition has a odd price, but its still fine, and the normal version is below 40 euros. how can you take away points at this price?

The only thing I'm surprised about is his view on the single player, but otherwise how I expect many reviews to go down.

called it.

the reviews will hammer splatoon on lack of content because reviews don't review unreleased content free or not. splatoon should have been delayed until august when the rest of the maps and modes were ready to release. terrible reviews will hurt a new IP more than an established IP. this is just poor execution on nintendo's part.
