Smart or Stupid? Splatoon isn't a Mario game.

there is no doubt in my mind that if this game was skinned with mario it would sell more than as is.

i'm glad nintendo is trying to make a new IP out of this but this whole squid theme is just not doing it for me. i wish they put more effort into the aesthetics because these characters just feel so lifeless and boring. mario would be better than squids but new IP with effort would be better than mario.

Squids and ink make perfect sense plus there will be customization. Not sure why everyone is disliking the character design, I love it. I get a Jet Set Radio vibe from this game. 

well it's opinion so i don't know how to support my statement any further than to say i don't like it.   there may be customization but from what was show i thought the customizations looked very "samey".   i mean, your color is picked for you to communicate your team affiliation.  a lot of the features don't seem to change: face, gun, ears, size (height and weight), those annoying racoon eyes.

dunno, maybe there will be better customization in game than what they've shown.  as is i don't like it.  i just look at this and feel (like a racist) like they all look the same.

i tend to enjoy class based shooter the best though so that may be part of it.
