Prediction: They'll put Mario skins in Splatoon, and it will ruin it

One of Nintendo's biggest image problems is that "they just rehash the same characters/IPs".

Splatoon shows this isn't the case, but putting a Mario skin it in would make it just be seen as more proof of the above statement.

It's a public image thing.

Can I ask for clarification here? You're saying replacing the Inklings with Mario skins would ruin the game. Can Mario show his face at all? What if there's a little mini-game where he cleans up the mess with the FLUDD -- as long as you can't play as Mario in regular matches, this doesn't interfere with the game experience, right?

Bloopers have already been spotted in the game, and that doesn't seem to have ruined anything... we are walking a fine line here.

But why would it be bad for them to just leave the IP alone? does it really NEED mario or mario related stuff throwing in?, personally, I think it's good enough to do perfectly fine without it, I feel like it would be cheap for them to include it.
