Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Smart or Stupid? Splatoon isn't a Mario game.

Graffiti and costumes aren't exactly shoehorning in characters. It's just to make clear that their is a universe of Nintendo games, I like that. 

Bowser Jr. would fit in because of his role in Super Mario Sunshine. But I won't mind if they don't do it, it's a little bit far-fetched anyway. 

I hope this succeeds.

It destroys the sense of the universe and feels more like a corporate mandate than anything else.

I think the lack of Mario has gotten this game more attention. I think it may have been just pushed away if it was Mario. So I think in this cause, it was smart to leave Mario out. I guess it may have been a good idea to include all of Nintendo characters in this game. I don't really know how well that would have been taken. But if they did there regular characters, they probably would have been able to do the squid thing.

Lack of Mario? There was that Mario VS Donkey Kong eShop game!

And Mario Maker! The E3 for Nintendo was filled with Mario, even in Smash!

It looks really fun to me. I'll certainly buy it. I'm not a big Mario fan anyways. I bought the Wii U for Monster Hunter, Zelda, and their other games.



Disapointed with the lack of Mario in this game? Well Reggie has this to say



"I think it will be the HDS"-Me in regards to Nintendo's next handheld.

If it were a mario game, it wouldn't have the adorable Squid girls (and the awesome squid mechanic)...

Would be more adorable with some Squid Girl crossover DLC 




I hope the story/singleplayer will be inspired by Jet Set Radio. :P



When I saw it. I thought it was like a simplified Team Fortress 2. The goofy atmosphere. And the funny character types. Mario dosen't need to be in this game.

I really liked how Reggie lasereyed the guy asking for Starfox. After he burnt him, because he asked for Mother 3.
