Forums - Nintendo Discussion - I have no need to buy another game for the rest of the year.

I'm usually a variety is the spice of life kinda guy, but lately I've been playing nothing but Splatoon. Haven't even touched Mario Kart 8 or Animal Crossing for weeks now, although Smash 3DS has been played while on the go and during long save scuming sessions in Splatoon, but otherwise it's all about the Squid Kids. The game is just so damn good n fun, can't blame me for getting addicted to it. Obviously the gameplay is the biggest draw, as it's unique, easy to pick up/hard to master, tight, fast-paced, and balanced enough to let me play how I want and still do well. That alone is enough to keep me coming back, but Nintendo took it a step further.

Thanks to the free updates that same awesome gameplay is able to be played in news ways every week via the introduction of new weapons/gear/maps/modes. I anticipate these updates almost as much as I would a new game. Many criticised the disc locking of content, but there's no denying the strategy has worked on me and other's aswell I bet. As long as they keep these updates coming, pulling myself away from the game long enough to play something else probably wont happen. If I am not even playing other games I own then it certainly doesn't make sense to buy more only for them to share the same fate, and since the updates are continuing into the Fall, I may not bother buying another game til 2016.

Anyone else feel this way or am I the only crazy one?

I like splatoon a lot and all...

but damn I can't wait to play Xenoblade X ffs



I felt this way with the original Maple Story. Felt like it was the only thing I needed to play for the rest of my life.... and then Big Bang came... 😒

Xbone... the new "N" word   Apparently I troll MS now | Evidence | Evidence

I am also hooked on it and so far its my favorite game this gen but ill get more this year.



Splatoon was the only game I've played in the last 2 weeks, but I've started taking a small break after beating the single player campaign! Maybe now I will actually try to buy Yoshi Woolly World and play that.

Kind of, yeah. Splatoon is easily the game I spend the most time on currently, even though I have a huge backlog to get through.

But I'm still going to buy other games, for sure. I especially need XCX, Yoshi, Fatal Frame, SMM and The Legend of Legacy in my life.

I played a good 500 hours on Diablo III and could go back for more if they did another expansion. As long as content keeps coming on a great game I'll keep playing. That said, need my Bloodborne and Witcher as well.



The only game I have ever just exclusively played for an extremely long time (about five-ish months or so) was Starcraft II. I can understand the addiction. That said, I don't really play competitive games anymore, so I don't really ever play a single game for that long. Even Diablo III, which is the only game I can say I'm close to being addicted to, I usually only play for two week periods at a time, and then stop playing for a few months.



I'm on the same boat, I've been playing nothing but splatoon and a little pokemon omega ruby for the last couple of months and I don't feel like buying another game (except mario maker) turn on my ps3 or purchase a ps4 any time soon.
Unfortunatelly I got tendinitis for playing too much with the octobrush so It's back to playing solelly pokemon for now :(



I'm more of the person who plays a handful of games for a long time so the feeling is shared

Splatoon is my only 2015 game purchase, and I'm quite satisfied with that (plus this also lightens the load on my wallet too :p )
