Splatoon is a very serious contender for my game of generation so far

This thread would've gone better if you said, contender for gotg *So Far*.

But even then it's probably a resounding no, it's a great game but it's getting wayyy more credit than it deserves.


And yes the colour wars game linked earlier looks so much like splatoon, the colour pallet the animations. Just re-skin it, add a few game modes and make some maps that take advantage of the mechanics and boom splatoon.

Splatoon plays nothing like that game, nothing. That video had 200 visits until Splatoon came up, nobody has ripped off nothing about that game, paintball and multiplayer combat already existed way before that game. Splatoon is one of the most oiriginal games released in year, it´s concept is unique, its gameplay is like nothing else on the genre and the easthetics/design/ music are pure personality, the weapons are like nothing else on the genre too.

Even the developer of  colors wars says that Splatoon has nothing to do with it and he doesn´t believe Nintendo has take any inspiration from that, is just the concept of paintball that both share. You complain about people giving it too much credit and yet you are not able to give the game the credit of being original, something that every single review and Splatoon player thinks for some reason.

Well if being unique is all it takes then Dreams is going to be a contendor for game of the generation next year. Of course the game is original, many original games come out every year, go check Steam you'll find plenty of original fun unique games. It's quite an original game as a whole as no one has put all of the already existing elements together in one game before. 

The aesthetics/design/music are very Nintendo. And the weapons? Ratchet and Clank? 

There are many games on Wii U in my opinion that far exceed splatoon as being gotg material to go up against Shadow of Mordor, Bloodborne and The Witcher 3.
