is Splatoon receiving more attention because its an exclusive Nintnedo shooter?

Of all the games shown, I think Splatoon has the greatest Gamepad potential.

The use of the map, fast travel and gyro aiming may make a serious case to actually having a second gamepad available for co-op or multiplayer play. If you can use the gamepad for map creation/editing too, I think we may have a gamepad-vindicating game -- that deserves attention.
