Well deserved!

It's the only popular shooting game in Japan. It was a phenomenon.

Japan has been taken over by Kids and Squids!!!

Splatoon could be the Most Selling Console in Japan this gen!

Congrats indeed! And its looking to have a lot of HYPE for the next series.

Well deserved! It was the freshest game to be released in quite some time.

It was pretty much the most original online shooter of the 8th generation so it's well deserved.

SONY should copy it and introduce something similar

The price should have gone to Dark Souls 3 imo.

Well deserved!
