Like I wrote, the Splatooon Wii U bundle was the only Wii U sku available. And I still don't agree with the business practice of releasing something before it's done.

Saying you can buy the game later is an excuse. It's like defending Destiny's lack of content at launch because you could wait for The Taken King Legendary Edition and get all the content for the same price. Not saying this is as bad as that, because for Splatoon the content was free, but it still isn't something I agree with. Would you be okay with the next Splatoon launching in the same way? The next Mario Kart? Heck, the next 3D Mario? The next Smash Bros?

 

Well that's unfortunate, but come on that's not the fault of the updates and that still didn't mean you had to play it immediately. That may sound silly but I do have games I bought months ago but haven't played yet, namely cause they were on sale. Oh and technically Nintendo did advertise it as a complete game from the get go with the updates being treated as bonuses so you could always look at it that way. :L

Buying games later has been the smarter thing to do anyway thanks to price drops and deals, but in Splatoon's case it's fair for everyone regardless of when they buy it as they'll all be getting the same content. You may be tired of the game, of which is your own doing, but that doesn't change the fact that your copy now has everything on it, the same stuff that people buying it today have. Now I could answer your last question, but that's really getting off tangent.

 

I think my last question is very important. Since you think it's okay for Splatoon, do you also think it's okay for its sequel, and entries in other multiplayer focused games?
