It means that it wouldn't get a retail release, because the current golden standard dictates that a colorful game has to be pushed into the digital-only space. You can pretty much count the big budget games that were not M-rated, sports or racing games during the last five years on two hands; and the ones that did come out were usually backed by either Sony or Microsoft, or JRPGs. Consequently, the belief that a game like Splatoon does not belong in retail has set in, therefore it has got to be an eShop title. You aren't inside that bubble, therefore this kind of thinking seems strange to you. Probably because you are a Nintendo fan, so the idea that a game like Splatoon is retail release material isn't foreign to you. After all, most Nintendo games are like that, so your perceived normality differs. |
I see...that is a strange way of thinking but I suppose it makes a little bit of sense. It feels like those words are being thrown around as insults, but if it is just because some people don't know how Splatoon fits into the gaming landscape I wont argue with them too much.

I think the difference is that Mario Kart stands outside all (or most) other racing games and does something different (when compared to other racers), while Call of Duty stands at the epicenter all FPS and does something familiar (when compared to other FPS)
