Splatoon will probably be biggest win for Nintendo this gen

Pretty much, yeah.

It's their most successful new IP in the console space since the Wii _____ series, it's already built up a strong community, and it proves they still have the capacity to create high quality original IP.

Handled right, Splatoon could indeed go on to become one of Nintendo's biggest franchises, which is crazy when you consider that prior to its launch, it was widely forecast as a flop.
