This time last year, I thought that a Nickelodeon cartoon would have been the perfect way to establish the Splatoon franchise and make it huge. Turns out that Nintendo didn't need Nickelodeon to make Splatoon huge.
I don't know, I think Nintendo could probably do a better job making their own Splatoon cartoon adaptation. Nintendo is definitely capable of doing everything that Nickelodeon can do, themselves, and I could see Nintendo creating a pretty sweet Splatoon anime that could be huge in both Japan and North America. On the other hand, I'm not sure how well established Nickelodeon is in Japan which is where Splatoon is the biggest.
