Splatoon did to shooters what Mario Kart did to racing games and Smash Bros. for fighting games.

Only Nintendo can do this.

There is a big reason why MK and SSB became big because all the charecters in those games are existing ones and familiar to everyone, but splatooon is is not using a single charecter from their IPs which is a big difference so dont expect success in this game unless they charecters from their IPs. Nintendo games sells only if the game has their IP charecters but not from the scratch. Always nitendo finds big success in milking their ips but not new original IPs.


Is that why Brain Age/Nintendogs/Pikmin/Tomodachi/Wii Sports/etc became so big? 

Also i mean aside from Mario (in DIFFERENT GENRES and play completely different from others that are innovative) and maybe pokemon, what Nintendo games are milked?

Star Fox?

Metroid?

F Zero?

Kid Icarus?

Earthbound?

Fire Emblem?

Zelda?
