I agree with this. It's only appealing to a very niche group as is and the only people that know about the game are the Nintendo fans that watch directs. I have a feeling this game game will go down a lot like The Wonderful 101 did.

No, you guys always say the same, Captain Toad is gonna be a fail , Hyrule Warriors is not even going to reach 0.5m and now Splatoon is niche and all the hype is only an illusion that only exist on this single forum. No, there´s actually hype around the game, you can see it on internet, and you will see it climbing on the pre-order charts in few months, the less you believe it, the more you´ll be surprised.
(So you think is going to sell like w101?... 300k on 2 years... really??)

Captain Toad is a recognizable Nintendo character and the game was sold for $40 during the holiday season. Hyrule Warriors had a Zelda theme which made it more popular in the West. And hype on the internet? If the internet and gaming forums are to be believed then Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, and other big yearly releases should be commercial flops and games like Bayonetta 2 should sell in droves, yet that isn't remotely true. The average consumer has a much different mindset than gamers on the internet.

Do you remeber Animal Crossing? Do you remember how anybody thought that game could sell something? It was blamed to be so niche (like todomachi too).... and now... the same team is doing Splatoon.
