They rarely market non-Mario or Zelda titles at that level. Splatoon got the same treatment as MK8/Smash and they're reaping the benefits. |
Yep, and the game has probably already made even, so everything after this should be pure positive profit. Nintendo can see that marketing doesn't mean more risky costs when your game is good and has the potential for mainstream appeal. Splatoon has potential to become a large series, and now they have a new IP to utilize in their arsenal for game diversity. The more options they have for developing a diverse library of games the better off they'll be.
