MH have no legs at all, it sold most of its units in 3 months while Splatoon 2 sold 1 million this year only and still keep selling



Jesus christ look at all that Nintendo stuff :)



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints
