Do you think splatoon is just a shooter with colors?

Splatoon is a lot more than just a "shooter with colors" unless of course, the people that says it havn't been keeping up with the trailers/news. This game has plenty of deep mechanics that out do many shooters these days on its gameplay portion. Each character can have various rolls such as shield or paint roller or AoE and each roll is important to winning the game and plays differently from each other. On top of that, if you are a squid, u can traverse the level in various different ways like via thin wire for example and how u spread the paint can really change how you and your team mates go around the level and where the enemies can go to. And the list goes on.

I think the only reason some people are downplaying this is cause it looks too "kiddie" and "cartoony" cause god forbid we have a TPS with some actual color and cuteness. It always has to be about "gritty realism" to be taken seriously these days

name one shooter in the last 10 years that doesn't have more than 1 gun type...

most shooters these days have jet pack gameplay, or vehicles, or mechs, or whatever.

 

those taking offense to the "shooter with color" line by listing off some gameplay elements,.. i seriously think you underestimate how many non-nintendo games have more than 1 gameplay element in them.  by my last count,.. all of them do.  saying splatoon is soo unique because it's got a couple twists on the base shooting mechanic is really a backhanded insult the all the other games in the genre that already do that too.
