So they revealed that you can use money to uprgrade your gear in the most recent direct. Which they also reveal a microtransaction laced game with pokemon candy crush simulator. And with Steel Drive: Sub Wars also being completely microtransaction laced. I think with this money system, Nintendo might try to jump into the microtransaction business. They only mention earning them in the multiplayer mode, but do you really think they would reveal something like that this early on. Seems like the perfect way to do. While very ungamer friendly, they are in the bussiness to make money. While I do think it's possible they will add these, I do feel it's still very unlikely.

I will add that I think if it was made by any other company(especially Ubisoft and EA) than Nintendo, this game would have microtransactions the way it's set up.

A little misleading, they didn't say anything about microtransactions in Splatoon. A monatery system in a game does not make for microtransaction confirmation. From what they have reveled, it just seems like its going to be a system in which you use to 'points' you accrued durring gameplay to upgrade your character.

TBH, I thought about this for a little while and, microtransactions would work well in this game. I personally hate microtransactions, but it is a model that works for a long lasting series to keep a constant influx of cash. I thought that if they were to have microtransactions that I would shy away from the game. Then I realized that its going to be a great game reguardless and that most likely, Nintendo won't gimp their fans if they choose not to take part in this model. 

All and all, if it does end up with microtransactions, then so be it. I'm not going to miss out on this game because of something as silly as that.
