Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Spla200n launch NX window vs Wii U port

 

Will Spla200n be ready for the NX launch (window)?

yay : no Wii U port 5 16.13%
 
nay : Sp1atoon is being ... 12 38.71%
 
both : & Spla200n releases early summer 5 16.13%
 
neigh-ther : no Sp1atoon ... 9 29.03%
 
Total:31

With NX launching in March '17, it'll be a few months away from Splatoon becoming 2 yrs old, a perfect time for a sequel and makes for a hot summer title.

Do you think NX in 2017 means there won't be a port of the Wii U version?  or

It could go either way, but if there was a port, then we won't be seeing Splatoon 2 until after 2017

Way tooooo early for a sequel.  



If the NX is released in 2017, I'd rather have Spla2n in 2018, to keep the momentum.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Too early for Splatoon 2 in 2017.

Hard to say. If it's just more of the same but with more polished 1080p/60fps graphics then 2 years is plenty of time for a sequel.

If they're experimenting with Splatoon 2 and planning to really take advantage of the NX hardware with ink physics and realistic rendering , then a port is more likely



Hoping Splatoon will be backwards compatible and the new platform will offer new content in the game.



The first Splatoon was made just under 2 years, and this from the concept stage where they spent months trying out different ideas. So May 2015 - May 2017 is a fair amount of time and then they can follow Splatoon 1's lead and add more content throughout 2017.

If Nintendo is smart Splatoon 2 will come out very early in the NX lifecycle.

People are worried about a March NX launch, so my main argument for a Spla2n early summer  sequel was to maintain healthy sales, through the year,   until the holidays when Nintendo can drop their bombs (3D mario, metroid etc).  Assuming Splatoon will be bigger and better, it can definitely be regarded as the next true system seller.



Knowing Nintendo, they'll probably want to think of some brand new mechanics before trying to make a sequel.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
