Dunno about that. Shooters are the most fad heavy genre and change so often. How quickly we went from Military FPS to Hero Shooter to Battle Royal in popularity. RPGs tend to not wave much. Same with fighting games. Splatoon will have to rapidly evolve by 3 to not become stale already. Splatoon 3 will need to be much larger in the scope of changes. Splatoon 2 was an incremental one. So unless Nintendo can keep up I can see Splatoon burning out fairly quickly.

I disagree. Splatoon did the Nintendo thing and took a well-worn genre and found its own separate corner with simple mechanics and deep gameplay where no one could encroach. Shooters can change as rapidly as they want around Splatoon, but Nintendo now owns this sub-genre.
Really, you could have written the same post about Mario Kart and the racing genre or Smash and the fighting genre.

Call of Duty still dominates the shooter market after over 12 years despite the fads. I agree, I think Splatoon could be an evergreen multiplayer franchise for Nintendo, kind of like what Mario Kart is compared to Forza or Gran Turismo.
