"Nintendo has certaintly struck gold with their latest game Splatoon, Capturing the fun of FPS games without the violence."

There's certainly verbal violence in this apartment; I've lost my temper on occasion when some camping fool hiding under the ink pops up and splats me with a roller for the umpteenth time... Nothing makes me feel sillier than shouting angrily at a game about squid teenagers shooting ink on the floor. :D

But yeah, given how fun the game already is I have no problem with their approach (I kinda like it in fact). If the game felt incomplete and held back I'd not be ok with this, but it gives you something to look forward to as you enjoy what is already available.

I do wonder how much of this is strategy and how much is the result of having to release it early. Probably a bit of both.


That's exactly what's nagging me!! They had more then enough time to add more content to this game before release. If anything this game was delayed, it certaintly wasn't rushed. It's either a marketing strategy or most likely it was a very small team at Nintendo working on this game full time.  

Splatoon in my book doesn't deserve the same retail price has Mario Kart 8, Super Smash bros WiiU & Mario 3D world. Splatoon is more like a Captain Toad Treasure tracker effort. 

On the plus side, if this game sell a bunch of copies at full retail, you can expect more support from future DLC by Nintendo. Could be a win/win for everyone. I just know that i'm going to wait for a price drop or not bother with Splatoon.
