One I don't see in the comments yet is how so many predicted Splatoon would would bomb harder than The Wonderful 101 - only for Nintendo apologizing for not producing enough copies of the game and it being in the top 10 bestselling games on Famitsu for 50 weeks straight.

Man, I remember that shit.

The prevailing opinion at the time was that "this has no appeal, Nintendo fans don't play shooters and shooter fans don't play Nintendo" and that it would be DOA.

What a turnaround that was!

You're telling me an arena shooter with continuous free updates, no microtransactions, underpowered graphics, gyro controls (that put mouse aiming to shame) and inventive game mechanics was going to bomb? Are you Bobby Kotick by chance?
