All this sounds rather familiar... I recall a certain game being dismissed as shovelware, then taking Japan by storm.

Though to be honest, I don't think ARMS will light the world on fire like Splatoon did. I still think it will be successful and a fresh take on the genre, however, and I don't see how it could be deemed shovelware in any form. It's apparent that they're putting a lot of effort into the game as well as the marketing for it.

Nobody ever said that about Splatoon.

That's very untrue. I've been a long time lurker and I distinctly remember reading plenty of comments about how audacious it was that Nintendo was charging full price for the game and shouldn't be more then $20, how it was gimmicky shovelware, and how it should be eShop only.
