Not bad. I wonder if it can take Smash Bros' place of being the default Nintendo online multiplayer experience. Or is the online community of Mario Kart already bigger than both?

I'm pretty sure Splatoon is already the default Nintendo online multiplayer experience, even if it might not have the largest amount of users. Mario Kart and Smash have big online communities, but they both thrive a lot more as local multiplayer games, whereas Splatoon is heavily focused on the online and has a much more connected fanbase because of stuff like the Inkopolis posts or Splatfests.

Thought so.

Then again, there still is Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle^^
