No, mario maker is.

Mario maker is everything that went right with the gamepad. An excellently polished game that utilizes the gamepad in a non-"forced" yet substantial way. A classic for anyone of any age. Intuitive for any newcomer, yet potentially tough enough for all the serious players. Refreshes the mario 2d line while adding nostalgic artstyles and gameplay from the titles we grew up with.

Splatoon is a good game. Nothing revolutionary (especially with regards to the gamepad), just a new ip that had its ups and downs

Splatoon is no less revolutionary than Mario Maker. After all, one could argue that Mario Maker is just Little Big Planet with an easier UI and set in the Mushroom Kingdom. It's been done before. 

I think both games will be the 1/2 as far as what we remember about the system, but Splatoon is a NEW IP. So it will likely stand out more.
